I Hate That I Love You/Klaus Mikaelson

24. Goodbye

I got in Klaus' car. He was going to drive until we'll get out of New Orleands. Elijah put the baby on the special chair.

"Don't forget! When we reach the end of the city we will meet Rebekah. You will get in her car and leave. Nothing else. Don't stop until you get to New York. It's full of people there and it's almost impossible to stand out somehow, but don't try your luck" Klaus said driving"

"Umm..okay!" I said still confused

Elijah waved us. I waved him back

I couldn't believe that i was actually doing that... I didn't want to, but i had to...

I couldn't take my eyes from Klaus. I was going to stay without him for who knows how much time. He was just looking at the road without saying a word to me. I knew he was suffering that we were going to stay away from each oder. But if that would save our child life, i would stay away from him for years. I just wanted her to live a normal happy life.

Klaus' pov

I felt like she was watching me. I heared her crying. If i took my eyes from the road, looking at Rachel's face i would stop the car right there ,and get back to New Orleans. I didn't want to to get back in New Orleans without Rachel and my child.

We arrived. That was the place where I was going to say goodbye. I didn't want to say that word...
I got out the car to look for Rebekah. She didn't arrive yet.
Rachel got out of the car too.

Rachel's pov

I got out of the car. Klaus was propped up by the car.
I put my head on Klaus' shoulder.

"I don't want to say goodbye" I said

"Me neighter...but we have to" Klaus said kissing my forhead

"I..um..." i started crying

"Promise me that despite everything that's going on, you won't come back in New Orleans!"

"Klaus, you know i can't-" Klaus intrerrupted me

"Promise me, Rachel!"

"I..I promise"

Klaus pushed me into a hug

Rebekah's car arrived.

"Rebekah's here" Klaus said

"Five more minutes, please" I said with tears in my eyes

Rebekah looked at us from across the street

"I promise that i will face call you every day and i'll sent you pictures of our little princess" i said after we finished hugging

Klaus kissed me.

"What ever is going on, don't look back. Don't come back in New Orleans even if i'm dying, allright?" Klaus put me to promise

"I won't look back!" I said

I took Ella from Klaus' car. Klaus kissed Ella's head one more time

"This is our family: Always and forever!" Klaus said

"Always and forever" I answered hin

I crossed the street and I entered with Ella in Rebekah's car on the back seat . I put Ella in the baby chair.

Klaus kissed two fingers of his hand and then he put them in air
I did the same and i put my fingers on the car's window.

Rebekah started the car. Klaus made me promise that i won't look back... I cryied

*After 1 hour*

"So, we have another 3 hours until we arrive to New York..." Rebekah started the conversation

"Mhm..." I said looking on window

"Do you have any plans? Like shopping or something?" Rebekah kept asking me questions just to distract me from thinking of all that happend in the last days

Ella was sleeping in my arms. She was safe in my arms, like every danger went away.

Klaus' pov

I came back in New Orleans in that night. I couldn't call that city *my home* anymore.
The house was empty without Rachel.

Rachel's pov

"We're here" Rebekah said stopping the car

"Wow...this city is bigger that I thought..." I said looking on the window

"Come on" Rebekah said getting out of the car

I got out of the car with Ella and I folwed Rebekah.

We arrived in front of a big building. It had like 10 or more floors.

"What floor?" I asked hoping that the answer will be 1,2 or 3

"Eight" Rebekah answered me

"Umm...Do we really need to stay that up? I mean it would be easier to get out of our apartament if we'd stay at 1st floor or 2nd, don't you think?" I propose

"Nope. No one will look for us at  the 8th floor, and don't worry about getting out of our apartament. This building has an elevator"

"Oh, that's...great!" I said faking a smile

"It's just for a week ,until I'll find a house in Denver. There's a quiet place, and nothing bad can happen there" Rebekah said

"Oh, thanks God, cause this town is not a perfect place to raise a child" I said relieved

___________________________

I layed in my bed. It was around 5 o'clock in the morning. Ella was sleeping in her bed, and Rebekah was in the kitchen drinking her coffe.

My life changed completlly. I could not sleep. I was thinking about future plans, at Klaus, at Ella. I got up slowly going to the kitchen.

I sat down mext to Rebekah.

"Is always going to be like this?" I asked Rebekah

"Like what?"

"Like this...people who wants to kill you and your family, running of the bad guys?"

"If you want the truth... well, yes it is going to be like this... but the love you're carrying for the people you want to protect will make all the worries to disappear" Rebekah said smiling

Hi! Hope you enjoyed!

So about Ella: I'm not sure about where should she live. Like if she comes back in New Orleans, the danger will be 2 steps away from her  and i cannot bring her in Mystic Falls because absolutlly everyone thinks that Rachel and Ella are dead.... Should I let them live in Denver for a few months? (don't worry I'll pass the time)
