Saved or Damned

She stared up at me with those azure eyes and I was lost in them for a moment.

He’s not my boyfriend, echoed in my ears, the disdain and disgust in her voice a familiar refrain.  All the times she’d said those same words… or worse.

She was waiting and I was denying before I could stop the words from bubbling forth, but she was still staring into me.

She was waiting for the truth.

God I was scared, but it was now or never.

Caroline saves me the leap, and I wonder if it saved me or damned me.



Thanks for reading :)

Wow! So few words pack SUCH a powerful punch. That whole new fic I'm writing stems from this very scene.

Thanks so much! I'm so excited for your next fic! This is just one of those key moments, I think. There are a couple of them in the series, but this is one of the strongest. :)
