Caroline lifted her hand to knock on the door of the Donovan’s residence but hesitated as she slowly lowered her hand down before she shook her head and decided to just put on a brave smile and knock. She’d been giving Matt some space ever since his return from the dead but she’d reached a point where she just can’t stay away a second longer because she really missed him. So, she decided to drop by the Grill, order some takeaway and a couple of drinks in hopes of coaxing Matt out of the house.
Now, she might’ve brought food but she wasn’t holding the plastic bags in her hands right now. Why, you might ask? Well, because she wants to take Matt on a little picnic, enjoy the fresh air and all of that. She hoped that Matt wouldn’t say no, though. But even if he did, she would persist because she had a feeling it might help him take his mind off everything that has happened.
”Okay, just do it, Caroline.” She sounded fed up with her own hesitation as she knocked on the door a couple of times before stepping back as her lips stretched into a gentle smile while waiting for her best friend to open the door. If he chooses to, that is. She'd completely understand if he didn't wanna talk to anyone right now. She had a feeling she'd understand better than everyone because she had secluded herself after she was killed and brought back as a vampire. Back then, she'd felt vulnerable and scared and she couldn't bear the thought of someone seeing her like that but back then both Stefan and Declan were there for her, so now, she wants to be there for Matt and see how he was really doing.

Ever since Henrik brought him back to life Matt had been going through the motions and he had been doing his best to get his life back on track but the truth was that it wasn’t easy at all and the truth was that most days he didn’t even want to leave the house. He had been doing as he should by going to college and continuing to pick up shifts occasionally at the Grill but he was still trying to get his head around the fact that someone had put his name on the hitlist in the first place. He wasn’t human any longer and he hadn’t been for a while, the Dread Doctors had somehow turned him into a kitsune and that meant that he had a target on his back just as much as anyone else did but at the end of the day he wasn’t a risk to people the way that a lot of the supernaturals in Mystic Falls were, or at least he didn’t want to be. He knew that he didn’t want to hurt anyone which is why he had been doing his best to control his abilities and he was doing a lot better with that than he had been thanks to the training that Olivia had given him. For a while after he was brought back he’d suffered from nightmares and they still plagued him now sometimes but they were never as bad when Rebekah was around. He had spent a lot of time with her and Stefan had checked in on him from time to time but other than that he hadn’t really seen anyone. He knew that they’d heard what had happened because he’d spoken to them on the phone and through texts and every time they asked how he was he insisted that he was fine but the truth was that right now he wasn’t although eventually he knew that he would be. Until then all he could do was keep living his life as best he could. Still living in the same place wasn’t easy and he knew that he wanted to get out of that house and away from those memories but he needed money in order to do that and right now he didn’t have enough to start over so he had to make do. That day he was at home alone and he wasn’t expecting anyone so he was wary as he made his way to the door and opened it. “Care?” he asked, unable to deny that he was surprised to see his best friend standing before him. “What are you doing here?”CAROLINE FORBES

Caroline took in a deep breath before she released it, waiting for Matt to answer the door and when he did, her smile immediately formed on her lips as she beamed at her best friend. ”Hey!” She greeted, keeping her voice cheerful. Though there was a moment where her eyes worriedly scanned over Matt to make sure that he’s okay and not harmed in any way and once she was certain that he looked okay from the outside, her eyes met her best friend’s. She was so glad that he was okay and alive, she didn't want anything bad to happen to her best friend, especially when he always spent so much time looking after people and making sure they were okay both mentally and physically. Plus, she was one hundred percent sure that Rebekah would make the town rain blood if something were to happen to Matt. At first, Caroline was skeptical about their relationship but she saw how much Rebekah cared for Matt and how much he cared for her. They were perfect for each other and Caroline would never stand in the way of Matt's happiness.
”I’m here to see you, of course!” Caroline leaned forward to envelope her best friend in a quick hug before she leaned back a little bit. ”And I’m also here to eat with you! You literally have no idea how hungry I am.” She wasn’t that hungry but she hoped that her words would encourage Matt to eat with her. ”Is Rebekah around? I don’t wanna third-wheel if you guys are spending time together, though.”

Matt would be the first to admit that he hadn’t been himself since Henrik had brought him back. He had known that living in Mystic Falls was dangerous for a long time and he would be lying if he said that he hadn’t thought about leaving but there was no way that he could abandon his friends and he couldn’t ask Rebekah to leave her family behind either. Mystic Falls was their home for better or worse and he refused to let someone who was only interested in killing people for money to take that away from them. He knew that he couldn’t stay in the house that he had once shared with his mom and sister for too much longer because everywhere he looked he was confronted by memories of the night he was attacked but for the time being it was still home and he knew that he needed to remember that. Between school, work and spending time with Rebekah he hadn’t been doing too much else lately. Stefan checked in on him every few days to make sure that he was doing okay but the truth was that talking about what had happened still wasn’t easy and Matt knew that keeping his distance from his friends wasn’t a good idea but he hadn’t been able to help it. Having Care show up at the door wasn’t something that he had expected but he couldn’t deny that he was pleased to see her. Caroline always had a habit of making him feel better, she was often so cheerful that it was contagious and deep down he knew that he probably needed that right now. “It’s good to see you,” Matt said, a half smile tugging at the corner of his mouth as he hugged Caroline back. As she asked if Rebekah was around, Matt shook his head. “No, she’s out at the moment. Come on in, I’m starving,” he admitted as he stepped aside to let her in. “How have you been?” he asked, hoping to deflect the focus onto her for a little while so he wouldn’t have to answer any awkward questions just yet.

It’s good to see you, No, she’s out at the moment. Come on in, I’m starving,
Caroline felt a soft smile touch her lips at Matt's words. "It's good to see you, too, Mattie." She said in a soft voice, her eyes focused solely on him. "You look good." She added a moment later with a quick nod of her head following.Caroline quickly nodded her head when she learned that Rebekah wasn't home at the moment. "Okay, perfect." She didn't want to ba third-wheel or interrupt their quality time. She could always come back at another time, but right now, she didn't have to worry about that since she wasn't home. "Thank you." She said when Matt stepped aside so that she could enter. She made her way into the Donovan residence and began heading over to the couch with the coffee table set not too far away from it.
She began unpacking the food that she'd brought on the way here and gently placed everything down, folding the plastic bag neatly before placing it aside for now. Her eyes returned to Matt when his question came through. "Not bad, not bad. Been keeping myself busy for the most part." Caroline revealed with a quick nod of her head following as she reached a hand up so she could tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "What about you, Mattie? How have you been?"

Even now Matt was still trying to get his head around everything that had happened when the guy had attacked him in his own home but one thing he knew for sure was that this wasn’t home any longer. If he was honest it hadn’t truly felt that way since Vicki had died but it was the only home he had ever really known so he had been reluctant to leave that last connection to his past and the person he used to be behind him. Now he knew that he was ready to let go of it, though, and he knew that he needed to talk to Rebekah about it. Henrik had used his magic to make the house safe and make sure that the vampire couldn’t get in again but Matt still didn’t feel safe there, if anything he felt numb and he knew that he didn’t want to live his life like that for any longer than he had to. For now he was doing his best to make do, though, and he was trying to get back to normal but that was easier said than done. He knew that reaching out to his friends would help as it would give him something else to focus on for a while but something had still held him back from doing so and as he looked over at Care now he couldn’t help but regret that. Feeling a half smile tug at the corner of his lips as Care said it was good to see him too, he shrugged as she said that he looked good. “I’m getting there. You look really good though, things still going well with Dec?” he asked. He knew that it had been years since the two of them had gotten together and he was pretty sure that they were still going strong but he wanted to make sure. Care deserved to be happy after everything she had been through and it looked like she was. Moving aside so that Care could enter the house, he watched for a moment as she started taking everything out of the bag. “Can I get you anything to drink?” he offered, not sure what she would be in the mood for. “Why am I not surprised?” he chuckled as Care said she had been keeping herself busy. “What have you been up to?” he asked, unable to deny that he was curious. As she asked how he’d been, Matt thought about it for a moment. “I’ve been okay I guess. I’m still just trying to get my head around everything that has been going on,” he shrugged before rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m sorry for keeping my distance, I shouldn’t have done that. Can you forgive me?”CAROLINE FORBES

Caroline felt a beaming smile stretch her lips when Matt told her that he was geing there. She nodded her head in a relieved manner before she seemed to process his question. “Thank you! Yeah, everything is going great, actually.” Caroline revealed wih a quick nod of her head following. “How are things going between you and Rebekah?” She questioned, unable to hide her curiosity from the tone of her voice. “Tell her if she ever breaks your heart, I’m coming for her. Original vampire or not.” Caroline pointed her index finger at Matt to really drive the point in. Though it didn’t take long for her lips to stretch into a smile because she knew that the chances of them actually breaking up were slim to none.
“Oh, no! I’m all good. I know where the kitchen is if I need something to drink, don’t worry. I’m not gonna behave like a guest.” Caroline promised with a grin forming on her lips. She began helping Matt get everything out the bag. “Oh, ha, ha. Very funny.” Caroline rolled her eyes fondly when Matt teased her about the fact that she has been keeping herself busy. “I’ve been looking for jobs, actually. I’m trying to find something that I’m passionate at but it’s been… quite challenging.” Caroline revealed with a nod of her head following as she continued helping Matt take everything out of the bag. Her eyes drifted to rest on Matt, her expression softening. “There’s nothing to forgive, Mattie. Don’t worry, I’m not holding this against you. You needed time to process everything and that’s completely valid, so don’t worry, okay? I’m just happy to see you, honestly.”

Matt knew that it would be easy to lose himself to the horror of what had happened but he knew that he wasn’t going to do that. He had his friends around him to make sure that he didn’t end up losing himself to the darkness again and he had Rebekah now as well. It had been bad enough when he’d had to come to terms with killing the monster that had attacked him when he was with Damon, he knew that he didn’t need anything else weighing him down and he wanted to make sure that he didn’t end up regretting wasting time. He had his whole life ahead of him, a life that could end up lasting a really long time now that he was a kitsune, and he knew that it was about time that he started enjoying it. “I’m glad, you deserve it,” Matt nodded, knowing that she really did deserve it after everything that she had been through. “They’re going pretty well actually, I’m really happy,” he admitted. He had been hung up on Elena for far too long so it felt good to have genuine feelings for someone else. As Caroline said that she would go after Rebekah if she broke his heart, Matt couldn’t help but laugh. “I don’t doubt that, I think you could take down just about anyone if you put your mind to it,” he chuckled. “Alright,” Matt nodded. He knew that he shouldn’t really be too surprised, after all Caroline had been over so many times over the years and he had always made it clear that she was free to help herself to anything that she wanted. Hearing Caroline laugh was enough to bring a smile to Matt’s face and he laughed along with her. “You’ve always been good at keeping busy, I bet Dec has his work cut out for him keeping up with you,” he chuckled. It was something that Caroline had been good at for as long as he had known her but then again Dec had grown up next door to her so he knew that if anyone could keep up with her then it was him. As Caroline said that she had been looking for jobs but that it was quite challenging, his expression turned thoughtful for a moment. “Do you know what kind of thing you want to do?” he asked, not sure whether she had worked that out yet or not. He really did feel bad that he had kept such a distance from Caroline and everyone else that he cared about but that stopped now. His friends were important to him, after all they were the family that he had chosen and they were the ones who had always been there for him no matter what so he knew that it was about time that he remembered that. “Thanks Care, that means a lot to me,” he said gently. “I did need time but I shouldn’t have pushed you all away like that and I’m not going to do it again,” he assured her. “Shall we eat?”CAROLINE FORBES
