CHAPTER 152

  Kara

  When we both finished, Stefan lay down beside me. And reality hit me. My body stopped commanding, and my mind made me reconsider. What I did with Stefan was a mistake, and I had to get out of his room if I didn't want more problems. Derek appeared in my mind immediately. I felt like he was looking for me.

  "I don't want this to end because I know that the moment you walk out that door, I'll lose you again, Kara."

  What he didn't know was that this was already over. This couldn't happen again.

  "You'll go back to Sara, and I'll go back to Derek. That's it. It's the path we both chose. We have to face our decisions, Stefan," I assimilated.

  As much as he and I didn't want to, that was our reality. It's the reality we chose to accept. It's the reality Stefan forced me to accept.
