[ she tilts her head in annoyance when he doesn't tell her and this whole avoiding the truth thing is getting tiring to her.] I know there's no treehouses here. [ she figures it's a joke and she tries to sound amused but she's not, she studies him for a second before letting a breath.]
Since when did the truth become so hard for you, Matt? I mean, you used to be, like, the only person I could trust to honest. [ besides stupid damon but he doesn't count. matt never seemed to lie unless he had a good reason.] I mean, I'm just asking where you're staying and you're being all avoid-y so unless you're shacking up with Rebekah or something, I don't see why it's a big deal. It's not like I'm going stalk you, if you're worried about that. I just want to where you're staying so I know you're okay. [ and maybe she'd drop off casseroles. the truth, however, will earn him no delicious foods. not when she finds out he's with rebekah in any way. it'll be a slap in the face to caroline, even if she'd moved on. the sting was still there, it'd barely been a year, and his rejection affected her more than anything, it'd been the basis of everything because caroline forbes had believed in happy endings or really, that love would conquer all.
matt's rejection, while completely understandable to her now, shattered that perception. maybe it's for the best but that didn't mean it didn't hurt like hell. and if he shacked up, hooked up with rebekah, what did that say about caroline? caroline who never wanted any of this to begin with, caroline who just wanted to love the quarterback and be miss mystic falls, caroline who feared the monster within and battled it instead of embraced like certain other blond vampires.]
