Caroline left me and Matt alone on the first floor so we could talk.

Which is what we weren't doing.

He kept his post at the door and kept peering outside on the lookout for Tyler.

I had just about enough of him ignoring me

"What do you want me to say?!" I exclaim standing up to face him.

"I'm sorry? I'm sorry for trying to protect you?"

Matt only scoffed "I didn't ask for your protection"

I slapped both hands on my waist "Well what did you want me to do?"

"Well for one, not lie about everything. Imagine my surprise when I found a freaking arsenal in your bedroom!" Matt exclaimed angry.

"I can't believe you went through my stuff! Why do you think I didn't tell you!  If you hate vampires now, what would you do if Vicki was still alive!" I questioned.

"It doesn't matter, she's dead"

"You think I don't miss her? Matt of course I miss her, and I wish things had played differently! But they didn't!" 

"Then why are you friends with the Stefan and Damon after what they did!"

"Because they're my friends! And I care about them! And because they've saved my life more times then I can count! Okay! And don't be mad at Caroline for this, you think she wanted this? 

She didn't have a say in this. Being a vampire just intensives who you really are. So this entire time you've been faking it with her she hasn't, okay? Caroline is still Caroline." 

Matt didn't say anything and just avoided my gaze.

"You want me to move out? Fine, I'll move out!" I yelled storming off, taking a second to stop.

"If I had a chance to do things differently, I wouldn't change a thing"

...............

Caroline came back to talk to Matt about her mom while I just pace by the door.  I haven't heard from Damon, or Stefan, or Bonnie, or anyone and I'm starting to freak out. I know that they're at the old witch house so I need to get there. As soon as Tyler de-wolfs I'm getting out of here. 

I whirl to the door when I hear a sound come from outside and Matt and Caroline hear it to. 

"What is it?" Matt begins to walk towards the front door.

"Wait." I call out to him, letting Caroline use her hearing. 

Matt points the gun at the door and I push the barrel down to the floor as Caroline starts rushing to the door.  "Don't. Don't shoot." 

 "What the hell are you doing?" He asks. Caroline peers through the glass in the front doors and  Caroline walks back towards Matt.

Caroline extends her hand to Matt. "Give me your jacket" She orders. "What?" Matt questions.  

"Your jacket, take it off." I say and frantically take it off him and hand it to Caroline. She grabs it and opens the front doors. Matt and I followed behind her. Caroline kneels down next to Tyler and places the jacket around him. 

"Hey." She whispers. Tyler looks up at Caroline who pets Tyler's head.

"Caroline?" Tyler says in gasps. 

"Hey. It's okay. It's okay."

I grab for my bow and quiver that I put down by the door and start putting them over my shoulder. "Wha-where are you going?" Matt asks as he looks at me confused. 

I don't answer, not wanting to waste time and break into a sprint.
