"Don't you dare Damon Salvatore, don't you dare start on a totally it's going to be bad and she isn't going to remember or, or might not come back or whatever train of thought you are going right now, because even if she doesn't remember when she comes back that doesn't mean she wont love you, or fall in love with you again because let's face it. It's Elena and you. As stupid as she can be when it comes to you, she loves you no matter what. Or will love you no matter what." Caroline paused thinking about how Elena had decided to have Ric take her memories away of Damon. "Whatever. Even when she tries to actively not love you, she loves stupid you." The stupid while might sound like an insult didn't sound nearly as mean as it would have normally, she'd grown to accept Damon and not totally hate him even if he was still a total ass who did shitty things. A lot.
Okay, so Caroline kind of realized that might not totally help the situation because Elena had just vanished and a lecture on the fact that someone would love you no matter what probably wasn't totally helpful, but it'd come out anyways. Partly because she just was too tired of everything being wrong, of everything being horrible. Everyone and everything was broken, and Caroline didn't want things to be broken. She knew how much it sucked not remembering being here before, especially given how many people knew her and expected her to be one way, when maybe she wasn't that way anymore, or never would grow to be.
