ON HER WAY BACK TO CAROLINE'S ROOM, RORY FELT SOMETHING SHIFT, IT WAS strong enough to make her stumble.

"Care." she whispers worriedly, she quickly makes her way to her room to find her in bed watching television. "You're okay." Rory says in relief.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Caroline asks confused. Rory couldn't place it, but something was different about Caroline.

"Don't ever scare me like that, again. Okay?" Rory tells her and Caroline smiles nodding.

"Ms.Forbes?" Nurse Marjorie catches both of their attention, "I need you to sign a few forms, Sheriff Forbes had to leave." She tells Rory.

"Go, I'll be fine." Caroline reassures her with a smile. Rory nods and reluctantly leaves to sign the forms. She follows the nurse outside.

   
RORY MAKES HER WAY BACK TO CAROLINE'S ROOM TO FINE HER GONE. SHE FRANTICALLY looks for her, calling her name out. She calls out for the nurse in charge, as she looks for Care's bag that are missing.

"What do you mean she left? She was in your care!" Rory exclaims. "She's a minor!" Rory says frustrated. She pulls out her phone to call Liz to inform her of the latest.

     RORY HAD BEEN GOING CRAZY LOOKING FOR CAROLINE, SO SHE DID WHAT SHE COULD, she found an empty room and a map, and did a locator spell. She uses her blood for it, they might not be sisters but they're still cousins. The map wasn't working, the blood went everywhere and the map burned. "What the hell." Rory says annoyed. She gets up and takes her phone out, she calls Matt. He's the one to inform he did see her but she ran off on him. She didn't have time to dwell on what that meant as of now. She had a mission.

   RORY WAITS FOR CAROLINE AT HOME, PER LIZ INSTRUCTIONS, RORY WAS TRYING TO figure out why the spell had gone wrong, how the hell the map went up in flames. It should have worked, Caroline and her might not be sister but they are related through their fathers. Their fathers are brothers. Rory waits for her in their living room, and she arrives with Stefan.

"Oh good! You're okay." Rory sight in relief, she i spectacular her and hugs her tightly. "You can't just leave a hospital against doctors orders! Are you insane?"

"I'm okay." Caroline tells her and Rory stares at her with tear filled eyes. "I'm okay." She repeats. Caroline couldn't tell her sister of everything crazy that happened today. She wasn't even sure she wanted to tell her how much she changed today. Her need for blood.

"Thank you for brining her home." Rory tell Stefan and he nods. "Safely." She smiles a little at the vampire she's been plotting against.

"I need to get to Elena. I'll leave you two." Stefan says and the two sister nods.

"Why'd you leave?" Rory asks her once the two are alone. Caroline avoids eye contact, and she takes a deep breath and looks at her sister. She knew there was no beating around the bush with Lorelai Forbes.

    CAROLINE IS LAYING ON HER BED WHEN SOMEONE OPENS THE WINDOW. SHE GOES NEXT to the window with her super speed. It's Matt.
"What are you doing here?" She asks.

Matt says, "I came to see if today's bask period has expired."

Caroline says, "You know you should just go 'cause my mom is gonna be home soon, and Rory is home. She's like super vigilante."

Matt says, "You've been dodging me all day. I mean, I'm more insecure than you are now."

Caroline asks, "What do you mean?"

Matt says; "It means that... you almost died and it freaked me out and it got me thinking you know 'cause... I'm not in a position where I can lose someone else right now. I realized, even though today I wanted to throttle you, I'm pretty sure that I'm in love with you and I it seems like you don't feel the same way." She kisses him and they embrace each other. Her face is changing so she takes a few breaths and her face becomes normal again. 

"KEEP IT PG!" Rory yells from her room banging on the wall, "AND THE DOOR OPEN." Caroline and Matt can't help but giggle. Caroline can't help but roll her eyes at her sister hypocrisy, she was once the teenager who snuck into the Lockwoods and found half naked with Mason, and almost gave their parents heart attacks and aneurisms. 

      RORY SAT IN THE FORBES LIVING ROOM LOOKING AT PHOTOS. PHOTOS SPECIFICALLY from the year she was born, before she was born. Liz didn't have many photos of 1985, she had already told younger Rory that those were in storage or Bill had them.

"It was fluke." Rory tells her self, she didn't want to push the subject. She didn't want to think of it too much as give herself a headache and she wasn't ready to face it, whatever it meant.

There was a knock on the door and she made her way to it. She didn't expect to find the dark haired man standing before her. "Rory." He says softly.

"Mason, hey." She says before taking him in her arms.

"He's dead." He says in her embrace.

"I heard, I'm sorry Mason. I'm really sorry." She tells him.

"I shouldn't have come." He says pulling away from her.

"Hey, we're still friends." She tells him. "I know we haven't spoken in years, but I'm still your friend, and Jenna is here if you want to speak with her."

"She already has a lot on her plate." He says and she nods, knowing she's still getting used to being a guardian of Elena and Jeremy.

"I have ice cream in the freezer, and cookies." She says with a small smile. "We don't have to talk about it, we can watch friends reruns and eat ice cream." She says and he nods. This was better than getting drunk. She was better than getting drunk. He enters the Forbes home and she leads him to the living room. "We can't be too loud, Cares still recovering, and Matt's upstairs."  Mason raises an eyebrow with a teasing look, "I know, he's leaving in a bit. They're good kids, not like..."

"Not like us." He says and she nods. She can't help but laugh lightly and he joins her.
