[ he's aware. he's more than aware of how this must look -- how it's going to look if he sorts out the mess in his head and it points him in a direction that involves something a little bit more solid and real with rebekah, not just getting wasted and making out with her. or her kissing him in desperation while standing atop a bomb. he had time to think about all that, about rebekah and why he walked away from caroline, in the aftermath of graduation and the ghostly chaos that proceeded and surrounded it. he'd be lying if he said it didn't influence his decision to tell her they wouldn't work, to hold steadfast to the decision to keep his life low vampire zone. he'd look like a dick if he actually got involved with rebekah, an original who's done horrible things, when he couldn't handle a girl he's known his whole life, who he loved and loved him back, being a vampire. ]
Okay, tree house. [ matt's willing to bet she'll consider a park bench a better alternative to staying with rebekah until he gets settled. ]
