Everything happened so fast. From Tyler lunging at you, to the secret being exposed, and to Stefan punching him in the face. Let’s go back some and recap.

You.. slept with Klaus Mikaelson. Probably one of the baddest men in history. Who also killed Tyler’s mother in the past. He even bit you once, even though he didn’t let you die and saved you at the last minute. You felt like a terrible person. And you felt like no one should be defending you.

You even had a conversation with Stefan almost a year ago before any of this. How you all have done bad things as well, so what makes you guys any better than him?

You and Tyler were broken up by now, when he chose revenge on Klaus over you, it left you heart broken. But you had to realize that it was valid. Wouldn’t you do the same?

There was a party at Tyler’s house which started all of this. And you told one of your best friends about you and Klaus, “Elena Gilbert” (actually Katherine in her body but yall stupidly don’t know that yet). And she spoke a little too loudly (on purpose) and Tyler heard everything.

~ “It won’t matter, (it won’t matter, baby) it won’t matter. When it’s time, when it’s time, when it’s time. It won’t matter, it won’t matter. When it’s time, when it’s time, when it’s time. It won’t matter, it won’t matter. It was like he was never there. It was like he was gone in thin air.” - The Weeknd (I was never there).

You felt entirely guilty. Even though you were thankful for Stefan defending you, because who knows what Tyler would have done. He wouldn’t have killed you, right..? But if he bit you, you could have. Considering that Klaus’ blood is the only cure for a werewolf/hybrid bite - that conversation alone would’ve been awkward. Plus, he said that he was never coming back to mystic falls, which was why he tried to get you to admit the connection that you both had.

~ ”Ooh, and now I know what love is. And I know it ain’t you for sure. You’d rather something toxic. So I poison myself again, again. Till I feel nothing. In my soul.” -The Weeknd (I was never there). ~ ”I’m on the edge of something breaking. I feel my mind slowly fading. If I keep going, I won’t make it. If I keep going, I won’t make it. And it’s all because of you. It’s all because of you. It’s all because of you. It’s all because of you.” (I was never there).
