A/N: I’ve noticed that even though Caroline sees it (the Matt/Elena thing) with her own eyes, she still hangs on to Matt... Yes, she knows that he still has feelings for the brunette, and that she means a lot to him... I think I wouldn’t hang around as long and hard like her...

She is watching him talk to her, and it is killing her insides. She wishes with everything she has that she wasn’t her best-friend, then at least she could make a scene; maybe pull her hair or shout at her to leave her boyfriend alone. But as it is, Elena is her best friend, and Matt is - even though her current boyfriend - still infatuated with Elena.
She sees him smiling at the brunet and she grits her teeth. She is now making a fist with her hands, restraining from strangling her best-friend.
Now Elena is hugging him, and Caroline turns pale and decides that this is enough; she can’t watch anymore. She turns and steps into the first room that’s opened.
She might as well quit, before her heart gets even more shattered than it is.
She is smart enough to know when to retreat from a lost case.
