day 225 | xiii ❧ potluck mingle!

[ this is her first time doing one of these without gran, and something she thought was going to be difficult for those very reasons is actually rather therapeutic, heartwarming -- a glance back at her roots, back when she was just adele stackhouse's weird granddaughter and not that fae who mingles with vampires. sookie contributes a few dishes from her gran's old recipes, along with something lafayette taught her to make. she's got all the tables in this part of trois park covered with checkered table clothes of varying colors, lots of plastic silverware, paper plates, cups, and napkins at the ready, and a stack of picnic blankets folded up on one of the benches for those who wish to sit on the grass instead of at a table. sookie even brought a long a mesh bag full of sports equipment -- or rather, a couple frisbees, a football, soccer ball, basketball, and even some hacky sacks. (she's not the sports type, but jason would always be off playing something with the other guys.)

hopefully she didn't leave anything out. hopefully this will help cheer everyone up some, both the new arrivals and those still dealing with the days they spent in that other prison. ]

You could've come stayed with us. [ because them asking questions isn't annoying to her, of course. his answers are not acceptable to her, honestly. she's still on the whole 'rebekah's a killer' aspect of things.]

And you think I am? [ yeah, that was low and she's not okay with it.] You think I'm good with being kidnapped all the freaking time, that I'm good with being sent to this prison away from my friends, my boyfriend, and my mom? You've been here two days. I've been here for over a month. No, I'm not good with this stuff either. [ yeah, she's annoyed now.]

I wasn't worried about her killing you, Matt. This place is harsh on that kind of stuff. And she's not that stupid. [ she'd find herself with a whole lot of more angry enemies than just caroline if she hurt matt] I didn't want her compelling you.

[ she throws her hands up for a moment.] I'm so tired of fighting with you. I don't want to fight with you but you keep staying stuff and you keep lying. What happened to you, Matt? I don't get it. [ she thought they were okay.]

This happened to me. All of this. This world. I lost my sister to it and for the longest time, I didn't even know it. I nearly drowned at the bottom of a river and have to live with the knowledge that the girl I've loved longer than I can remembered did die down there, because she wanted me to live. Do you know how hard it is to get out of bed knowing that, knowing-- [ that jeremy's dead. that tyler's gone. that tyler's mom, a woman who was kind to him even when she clashed with his mom, is dead, too. ] Knowing the things I now know.

Things get bad, Care. Worse than they've ever been. I've been through things, I've done things -- things I didn't really have much time to process before a bunch of robots decided they needed to add to their Mystic Falls collection.

[ none of which is her fault, and he sees where she's coming from. he understands, empathizes. he knows her, and maybe that's why it hurts so much to keep everything bottled up. especially when she was the first on his list of people to call when shit started going down. now he can't, because she doesn't know and he doesn't want her to know. ]

Your mom's fine. So's Tyler and everyone else. Things [ ~~got better~~ ] calmed down.

[ despite them being over and done with, it still stings to hear him say that he still loves elena, knowing that means he loved her while they were together. but she picks up on what he says and straightens.] No, I don't know because you won't tell us, you have some weird idea that we can't handle what you know but Matt, we've been through just as much as you. And whatever's happened? You don't need to keep it bottled up. I'd rather you be the one to tell us what's happened then Rebekah or someone else that shows up.

[ she pauses.] It's unfair to keep it from Elena, at least. [ she knows how to play to her audience.] And if things have 'calmed down' then it can't hurt to tell us. You can't just keep it from us, Matt. It's not fair.

[ oh yes it is. it is, because he doesn't want to be the one to tell elena that her brother is dead. he was barely able to keep it together while standing in the same room as jeremy's body, he'd completely break down and lose it if he had to say it to elena's face, if the delivering of that news fell on his shoulders. and yeah, he'd rather it be him instead of someone else, but he'd rather not do it at all. besides, to the elena that's here, jeremy's still alive and well back home in mystic falls. not ash in a house she burnt down in a fit of emotionless in order to be free of her old life. ]

Yeah, I can. And I will. [ sorry care, he's not going to budge on that. ]

[ she lets out a frustrated huff, her eyes narrowing for a moment.] You're being impossible, Matt. And we're going to find out eventually and it's worse that it's not from someone we care about. [ she doesn't want klaus to come back and blab it or have rebekah say it to elena when she gets mad about something and rub it in elena's face. caroline dreads that day. caroline already dreads the truth, the fact that matt is wearing jeremy's ring, every excuse he makes sounds lamer each time.]
