Summary: You and Caroline are exes with an on again-off again relationship, and she keeps eyeing you at a party.

"She's doing it again."

For the umpteenth time tonight, Caroline Forbes was staring at me. Try as I might to pretend I can't tell, I find myself staring back. 

"God, just go talk to her." Bonnie sighed. "I'm tired of being the middle woman in whatever this is."

"I don't want to."

"Okay, then stop staring at her."

"Then make her stop staring at me."

Bonnie gave me that look of hers that says, 'really?' "I think the only way she'll stop staring is if you two talk."

"Uuuuuuugghhhh. Fine. I'll talk to her." I groaned.

"Good idea, Y/n. Where do you get them?" 

"My big ol' brain, duh." I kiss her on the cheek (A/N: Pretend it's a friendship thing you two do) and cross the room to where the blonde is standing. I'm not particularly excited about confrontation, but hey, I've got to what needs to be done.

"Come on. You obviously want to talk." I ushered her to follow me down the hall where we found an empty bedroom. She said nothing, silently following me. 

"Well, here it is. If you have something to say, then say it. I'm all ears." You sighed.

She was silent for a moment before blurting out, "How can you just be over it so quickly?"

"Over it? I'm not "over it", Caroline! I might be getting on with my life, but deep down I already know it won't amount to anything because I still miss you. No matter how much I try, I still can't ignore how much I want to show up at your house and beg for you to let us try again."

She grew silent for a moment, giving me a look that I couldn't quite describe. "Then why don't you?"

"Because we're not happy together, we don't make each other happy."

"We can make it work, Y/n." She pleaded.

I shake my head. "No, we can't. We tried and failed multiple times."

"Just one more time, then. If it doesn't work then I swear I'll never even talk to you again and you don't have to think about this anymore."

"What's the point, Care? Every time you suggest a 'one last time', it's ended badly."

"I know." She sighed. "I just need closure."

"And getting back together is the way to get it?"

"No, it's not, okay? Fine, I lied. The real reason I want to keep trying even if I know how it ends is because I can't imagine myself being happy without you, even if happiness is the exact opposite of what happens!"

"Then stop! Stop trying to start up something that won't do any good!"

"'Won't do any good'? So you're saying nothing good came out of us being together? Were you just never happy?"

"No! God no, I was happy."

"Then why can't we be happy again, Y/n?" She threw her hands in the air in exasperation. "We've both established that we want each other back."

"Because of fights like this!" I gestured between the two of us. "This is toxic, Caroline! I can't keep putting myself through this. I'm sorry." My voice shrunk with every word, almost muttering the last words. I turned around and began making my walk of shame towards the door, but I stopped when I reached it. 

"You're hesitating." She murmured.

Even when she isn't asking for me back her voice is telling me to stay. I chewed my lip for a minute, pondering the question.

I want her back, and she wants me back. What reason is there, really, to say no?

When I had a sense of finality in my choice, I hurriedly I turned on my heel, storming back towards her with a "no, I'm not" under my breath before kissing her fiercely.

One more try wouldn't hurt, right?

A/N: I kind of love and hate this one, it has the drama of my other ones but I feel like there's an absence of logic..? I don't really know.
