[For all Rebekah wears her heart on her sleeve she still holds back. She's been honest with Matt, come close a few times with Stefan, but that's about it. She had been honest with Quinn, but she's gone now. And it feels a little freeing to talk openly about her feelings for Matt, considering that as far as everyone else from Mystic Falls is concerned, they're just friends (not that anyone even seems to believe that).
No, it's not exactly the same, but similar enough. People who live longer than regular humans, they will always lose in the end.]
You'll never know if you don't tell him.
[She thinks briefly of what she told Matt on that bomb. The first rule of truly living is doing the thing you're most afraid of.]
That's something, isn't it? Friendship can lead to other things. Not that I've...ever had a lot of friendships to base on that theory, but that's what I've heard.
[The last admission surprises Rebekah. Perhaps because her own number is much larger. Alexander, Stefan, Matt, those were just a few names in a long list of men she had foolishly given her heart away to.]
