I can't believe what I'm seeing. Is that really Stefan kissing Genevieve?
Oh my god ,he's cheating on Caroline.
How could he do this to her ,I'm going to kill that fucking bastard ! I feel a strong desire to tear his bloody heart from out of his chest, but I'm unable to move. I know I must first think through this situation before acting rashly and potentially making things worse.
I decide to leave the apartment without drawing attention. Once I step outside, I hit my fist on the car hood in frustration. It's not as fulfilling as hitting Stefan's jaw, but it will suffice.
I'm unsure how to handle this situation and all I can think about is getting a drink.
I head towards the nearest bar and as soon as I see one, I park my car, I have been sober for a while now, but Stefan has ruined it.
As I attempt to leave my car, I realize that I cannot afford to get intoxicated. Caroline will need me now more than ever. I must remain sober for her.
"Damn it!" I mutter as I angrily hit my hands against the steering wheel. My poor Caroline... I know I have to tell her the truth. While I would love to swoop in, kick Stefan to the curb, and be Care's savior I don't want to cause her any pain.
But then I start to think maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. What if Stefan wasn't cheating and their relationship just ended, with Genevieve being his rebound? What other purpose does she serve? I make up my mind to call Caroline and get a clearer understanding of the situation.

""Hello?" She answers on the second ring.
"Hello love, sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask you about something," I deceive.
"Oh, you aren't bothering me," she sighs.
"I'm not? I thought tonight was your special date with Stefan," I say, hoping to get more information from her.
"It was, but he told me he had to cancel. Something came up with his work." That fucking liar.
"Oh, that's too bad." So he is cheating and she is totally oblivious.Damn! Now I have to break her heart.
"I was wondering if you could meet me at the grill?"
"It's kind of late right now."
"It's not even 9 yet."
"Well..."
"Please, it's important sweetheart."
"Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
"Alright. Goodbye."
Now I have twenty minutes to figure out how to tell her that her boyfriend, who is also my best friend, is cheating on her with Genevieve. How could he betray someone as wonderful as Caroline for her? I don't even understand it myself, but I witnessed it firsthand.
"Okay, it's now or never," I tell myself as I head to the grill. I just hope that when I see her, I have the courage to tell her the truth.
