Elena knew that too, which was the reason for this little get together. Caroline didn’t know why Damon would choose to spend his time with Katherine, but she was sure he had a reason for it. She just didn’t like how it was hurting her best friend. Shouldn’t they all be trying to get through this together? Damon was pretty far from Caroline’s favorite person. She harbored a lot of resentment and hostility towards him, she couldn’t help it. He’d once used her as a blood bag...and more. And he was going to kill her. In particular, she wasn’t fond of his relationship with Elena. But she knew how Elena felt about him. “I don’t know why he’d decide to spend time with her.” And that was the truth. “But maybe he doesn’t want to see you right now, because he doesn’t want you to see him like this. He just lost his brother, and that’s huge. I know we all lost Stefan, but think of how much worse it is for Damon.” She wasn’t defending him, not exactly, more like she was trying to get Elena to see another side to it all. The Katherine factor she couldn’t explain, but she did understand why Damon might not want to see Elena right now.
“I know it’s hard, and I know it sucks...but you lost your brother too.” Jeremy was alive again, of course but Elena still knew what that felt like. She hadn’t handled it well either. “So let Damon drink and wallow, and when he’s ready, he’ll come back to you. And if he doesn’t...maybe it just wasn’t meant to be….” Her voice trailed off, and she looked away from Elena for a moment, before picking up the wine glass and downing what was left. She had been talking about Damon and Elena, but it could also apply to her and Tyler. She didn’t want to think about that right now, and she didn’t want Elena to hurt. She just wanted to be there for her, and she was going to be honest with her too. “You know you can do a lot better than Damon. And I get that you love him, but…” She didn’t think Damon was good for Elena, not like Stefan had been. But Stefan was gone now, and it wasn’t really the time to lecture Elena about Damon. “I’m sorry, I’m not going to finish that. But I will say this, give him some time to wallow and figure things out. Hopefully before too long, he’ll come back to you. But in the mean time, you have me, and I’m not going anywhere.” She reached across the bed and pulled Elena to her in an embrace.
