[ Screw texting back. How did she not know? So, Tyler likes to keep to himself and she figured he'd showered and gotten back to his and Caroline's room quickly. But, he hadn't. He's gone. So, she sucks in all her resolve and puts on her best friend pants heading down to Caroline's deck, rapping on the metal door. ]

Caroline? It's Bonnie.

[coy]

[ Usually Caroline checks in with her friends but then goes back with Tyler to their room to... well, yeah. So this time, it was kind of devastating, just sitting in her room, alone. She was expecting someone to come by so when she hears Bonnie on the other side of her door, her face crumbles a little and she waves her arm so the door will open.] Come in.

[ Bonnie immediately steps inside the room, the door sliding back behind her. ] Caroline. [ She looks down at her before moving to the bed, and sitting beside her. Her hand slips into her best friend's squeezing. ]

[ Annnnd cue the waterworks. Caroline starts to cry, tilting to lean against her best friend, tears slipping down her cheeks.] I didn't even get to say goodbye.

[ An arm comes around her. ]

I'm so sorry, Caroline. [ A beat. ] Why didn't you tell me? Or Elena?

[coy]

I thought maybe... [ she honestly didn't know what she thought.] I just didn't want it to be true. As soon as I said something... It would make it true.

He could come back. Damon came back. Elena's been here ... more times than some people can count. Maybe he's not gone. People go home and, and come back, right?

[coy]

[ She sniffles, nodding a little.] I did, apparently. It's just... he was gone last month too. I thought... he'd be back.

[unbalancer]

He will. [ He has to.

Even though she knows it might not be true. But, for now, it is. For Caroline's sake, it's true. Tyler will be coming back. ]

And now, we can - we can focus on that pool party. We're going to throw the best pool party the Tranquility has ever seen.

Hey, it's Scott. I'm sorry your boyfriend's gone, everybody told me he was a good dude. I hope he comes back or you get to go home soon, too. If you need a hand with anything, like for the party or whatever, let me know?

[dopples]

Damon's gone too. Want to go get drunk?

private text.

[coy]

More than anything.

private text.

[dopples]

Meet me at the bar?

private text.

[coy]

Give me an hour?

private text.

[dopples]

Can't promise I won't have started without you, but sure.

private text.

[coy]

You probably have a higher tolerance than me now.

private text.

[dopples]

Maybe. Living with Damon means drinking a lot. Haven't gotten drunk in a while, though, and I am aiming for a blackout. You with me?

private text.

[coy]

Not blackout, I've got a party to host tomorrow, but I'll carry you home.

Are you sure?

You don't need to apologize.
Better gone home than lost in the halls.
I'm sorry.

Me too. I just... I hope he's okay.

He'll be fine. Tyler survived this place. There can't be anything worse wherever you're from.
