day 223 | i » video → open.
When I said I wanted to get out of Mystic Falls for a while, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind. Ruins of some ancient prison in Italy or China, maybe, but not underwater and in some alien dimension, or however the hell that's supposed to work. [ if he's getting the gist of this right. he's going by video game logic here. ]

And what happened to a trial by a jury of your peers? Is that not a thing on Planet X? Too human a concept for you? Is throwing eighteen-year-olds in prison for skipping a couple of classes back in high school [ and eradicating an entire vampire bloodline via staking finn mikaelson, but shhhh ] just something you do for fun around here?

[ just when things had calmed down and the world was returning to normal (or as normal as the world was capable of getting after everything that happened back home), this happens. it's just his luck, too. nothing ever stayed good for matt donovan. his life sucked, and it looks like graduating from high school meant it was only going to get suckier from here on out. ]

So much for the world tour.

	Look, a lot's happened. A lot that I can't tell you about. [ deep breathe, exhale -- he doesn't enjoy having to lie, having to keep things from them. ] I'm sorry, Care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And why can't you tell me? [ this reunion just went from warm and fuzzy to huffy and pissy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Because. There's a lot of stuff that's happened since the memorial that you're better off not knowing.

[ tyler's mom's dead. klaus slaughtered all the hybrids after tyler busted his ass helping them to break their sire bonds, and now he's on the run, fleeing for his life. jeremy died and elena went flying off the rails after damon made her switch her humanity switch. ]

	And that somehow makes it okay that you're going on a romantic getaway with Rebekah. How am I better off not knowing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not a romantic getaway! I never said I was dating Rebekah. We're just friends. [ a sigh, a grimace. ] You just are. [ he hates hates hates lying, but it's for your own good, caroline. :( ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're going to Europe together and now you're keeping secrets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	private video. stuck 2013-06-11 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	It's not keeping secrets, it's protecting people that I care about from things they're not meant to know yet. [ take comfort in the fact that shit hasn't hit the fan for you yet, caroline. he envies that. ] And so what we're going to Europe for the summer. What's so wrong about letting someone show me some of the world I'd otherwise never get a chance to see? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because she tried to kill you Matt, she killed Elena, and she's tried to kill, like, all of us. And keeping secrets to protect people has worked so well for us in the past. [ yep, she's willing to point out what she did to him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She also saved my life. [ and waited around to make sure he'd actually wake up after damon snapped his neck, not to mention spent lots of long hours helping him cram for his finals. he wouldn't have graduated high school if it weren't for rebekah putting up with his less than stellar academic skills. ]

...don't go there, Caroline. It's not the same thing and you know it. [ except it is and he knows it. ]

After she almost killed you. [ one right does not make a billion wrongs right. although caroline is about second chances and maybe once she's calmed down, she'll see some reason. right now, she's seriously unhappy. but caroline would've done those things for him, if she'd known, she would've and had saved his life. studying? oh yeah, she has flashcards.]

Oh, yeah? How is it not the same? Besides Rebekah's been blabbing, it'd be better to hear it from you than her.

Which she's apologized for. [ and he sort of gets the point of. emphasis on sort of, since he believes they could've found another way of dealing with alaric the psychopathic vampire. nevermind that he blames himself for elena's death first and foremost, but details details. ] What happened to giving people second chances, huh? Seeing if people can be something other than a kiddie pool? You're not exactly swimming in the deep end at the moment, Care.

[ he doesn't answer that. because he doesn't have a good answer. she's right and he knows it, but he still can't bring himself to tell her things that he's still working on fully processing himself. he's wearing his dead best friend's immortality ring, for christ's sake. ]

	[ oh my god, the glare he gets right now. that is the lowest of blows, mister.] Are you seriously calling me shallow, right now? Because I don't want to be friends with the girl who tried to ruin our lives? Who are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ "who hasn't tried to ruin our lives in this town? at one point, i tried to help your mom ruin yours!" he wants to say. "i'm the guy who got his neck snapped to save someone from themselves and was nearly blown up by the ghost of a vampire hunter from the 12th century. happy?" is another, but he doesn't. both points are swallowed as soon as they're formed. ]

Forget it. I need to go find clothes that don't make me look like a pylon. [ once he's located the off switch, he'll be putting an end to this conversation. better now than when rebekah shows up to retrieve him. ]
