Caroline's teeth sink into her bottom lip as guilt washes over her. She hates everything about this, the fact that Elena has to see or go through any of this, that it's going to happen at all, that Damon seems to know about all these horrible things that will eventually come to pass.

She hates that he has to live with that knowledge. How much more of it was there?

And she hates that she feels bad for making him angry when he clearly had her best friend's interests in mind the entire time and he's just venting because he doesn't have a choice.

"This kind of thing was so much easier when I hated you, you know that?"
