I thee wed

Divorce?

I went home after I visited the graveyard and babysat Hope. Elijah came home and I greeted him with the loveliest kiss. He was in his study. He smiled when he saw me.

"Hey, can I talk to you?"

"Sure everything okay?"

"Elijah?" I asked with hesitation.

"Hm?"

"So dad won't be the head of the human faction. So, does that mean we don't necessarily have to um-"

"Stay married?" He looked at me with confusion and hurt in his eyes. I could feel his heartbreak but I had to do this. I trembled and my eyelids flickered. I gulped down and took a step forward towards him.

"Um, yaa. Look Elijah I--" He speeds out of the room before I could continue. Tears came out of my eyes when I realized what I had just done. I hate myself. How could I break his heart like that? But I want him to at least hear my piece. I ran downstairs.

"Elijah? Elijah? Please just hear me out! Just once!" I said meanwhile Nik was looking at me while playing with Hope on the couch.

"He just headed out, love." He said while combing little Hope's hair. I sighed and sat on the couch. Hope looked at me.

"Hello, Auntie Jade."

"Hi, sugar pea," I said kissing her cheek. She giggled a little which made me smile.

"All done and ready for bed," Nik said to hope before kissing her forehead. I smiled at this gesture. He lifted Hope and took her to her room to tuck her in. After a few minutes, he came out and noticed me holding my head and tears in my eyes. He sat on the couch beside me.

"Trouble in paradise?" He asked offering me a whiskey.

"Underage," I said.

"Come on, Elijah's not around." He said smirking and I snorted and accepted a glass.

"What happened?"

"I did something stupid. Please can you go find him? I feel like I am gonna die."

"I am not getting in between you love birds." He said sipping his drink. I hit him on his arm angrily while he chuckled.

"He just left. Like without even hearing me."

"Well, my brother is quite the drama queen." He said which made me chuckle.

"And here I thought you held that title."

"I am offended. What made you think that? " He said with a high pitch.

"Oh please. Cami told me all about your little spat a week ago. 'I am not good enough for you Cami. I'll destroy you.' Tell me that's not a dramatic thing to say."

"I am the devil in disguise." He said with a smirk. "By the way, why did she tell you?"

"You know bitching about our partners is pretty much what we girls do when we are in love with ass holes like you." He rolled his eyes.

"And you're not the devil," I said.

"Oh, I can find a million people to disagree with that statement."

"Klaus, you're not the devil. I don't care, argue with the wall."

"You can't be more wrong."

"Fine. Define devil."

"A heartless, merciless, dangerous creature."

"You're right. Evil is heartless. You're not heartless."

"How can you possibly think that?"

"I see the way you look in Cami's eyes. The affection and love in your eyes. You would do anything for that girl. Love is the purest emotion one can ever feel. You guys were so stinking cute. When I was newly married, I would look at you guys and it would make me wanna kill myself. I see the way you play with Hope. How you teach her to draw and buy her gifts. That's unconditional love. How can a person with no heart feel such a divine thing called love?" I said raising my eyebrows proudly and sipping my drink. I could see the moisture in his eyes and the faint smile. He got up. "Where are you going?" I asked him.

"I'll find our drama queen." He said and left. I smiled and leaned on the couch and my mind went towards Elijah. Once again. Oh my god, why did I do this? Penelope got into my head. After a few hours, I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up to the noise of the door. I saw Elijah and Klaus. Klaus leaves and Elijah approached me. I got up from the couch. The look on his face was the one I'd never seen before. It was enough to make me cry. Tears came rolling down my eyes.

"I am sorry. I am so sorry. Penelope got in my head. I am sorry 'Lijah. I screwed up." I said running into his arms. He hugged me back softly and tears came into his eyes.

"I am sorry." He whispered and I pulled back and was in shock.

"I am sorry too," I said with a teary smile. We went to bed and the next day was Sunday. Elijah and I were having a perfect afternoon in the backyard and we were just lying on the grass. He snuggled me into his embrace. The warm sunshine was kissing his cheeks while he got a phone call. Turns out that my father pissed off the witches and now they're going crazy. He went to the rescue. I was there all day worried about his well-being. I just hope that he is safe. And I was still a little worried about yesterday's fight. Penelope did get in my head but I have more important things to do than to stay married. But I am terrified of breaking his heart. I swear in my life that I will never have this conversation with myself. I am married and I don't have a choice. When I was wandering in the kitchen with my thoughts, I see Elijah and Klaus approaching. Both were covered in blood. I widened my eyes and was shocked at the sight of him. I was gasping and ran up to them. 

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" Tears in my eyes and my trembling voice called out.

"It's okay. Everything is okay, now." Elijah said holding my hand and calming me down.

"Okay. Yaa that's good." I whispered taking a sigh.

I embraced him in my arms. He went and changed his clothes. 

"Done checking me out?" He teased me when I was staring at him. I blushed and looked at the floor when my phone rang.

"Hey, it's Theo."

"Hi, bestie."

"You still on for trip?"

"Hell yaa. I'll start packing tomorrow." I squealed.

"Okay. Cool."

"Hey, Theo ?"

"Ya?" I looked at Elijah for a second and got out of the room to talk to Theo. It was a private talk. When I returned I saw Elijah's face with fury. He crossed his arms and clenched his jaw. I got in bed and gestured for him to come. He slowly came in.

"What were you talking about with Theo?"

"Oh, it was nothing. Just normal stuff."

"Then why did you go into another room?"

"It was something private."

"What do you mean, private?"

"It's between two best friends 'Lijah. Oh my god, Are you Jealous?" I said with a mischievous smile.

"I am not Jealous. I am Elijah Mikaelson. I can get any girl I want." He said and I knew he was teasing me.

"I'd like to see you try," I said with an evil smile. He smashed a pillow at my head and I did the same.

"Btw, you going somewhere?"

"Yaa. We were going to Los Angeles but we decided to go to Las Vegas."

"No sweetheart, you can't go."

"But why?" I said frowning.

"It's not safe. You're a Mikaelson now. Our enemies are your enemies."

"But 'Lijah, I've been waiting for this forever. We're never gonna see each other again. We'll be off doing grown-up stuff like jobs. It's the last thing we'd do as college mates."

"I am sorry love, you can't go."

"No. I wanna go."

"It's too dangerous. Your father just pissed off the witches. I can't let you go." He said.  That fueled my frustration.

"Let me?" I said widening my eyes at him.
