Lydia
Do you know what is so desperately sad about this? The only thing she had to do to make it okay? The only thing she needed to do for me?
Agree to disagree. That's it. I didn't agree with her opinions, fine. I'd have left it alone if she hadn't kept shoving her opinons down my throat. I despised her friendship with Kol and she thinks I'm in love with Katherine.
Truth is I love Alex. I will for a while yet. But I cannot be with someone so vehemently unwilling to disagree.
It matters to me that you hurt. Of course it does. But in future, be blunt. Don't tell me you'll understand if I don't go then use it against me when I find I can't. Tell me, go or I'll be hurt. I might have made more of an effort if I hadn't assumed you'd understand.
You can make me the villian as much as she has. That's fine. But its amusing in some ways. I disagree with Tom, frequantly in fact. I don't think he's stupid, I don't think he's blind. I think his opinion is wrong on some things but that's okay? It does not affect our friendship.
Seems he's got more maturity than either you or Alex.
