The Other Mikealson

Please, Stefan, Don't Leave!

When the laughter died, I said something that would seriously shock Damon. "I compelled him" Damon's head snaps over to look at me.

"You did what?" "I compelled him to feel everything that he was making me feel. He broke down in tears and gave me the kind of apology that I was looking for, he asked me not to leave him and I told him I wouldn't so I'm here" "What the hell is wrong with you?!" "With me?! He deserved to understand how he was making me feel, Damon! I've been in agony since 1968, because of him! I deserved a little justice"

Damon's eyes look at something behind me, and when I turn to look... it was...

"Stefan" I whisper, he shakes his head with tears in his eyes. "Stefan, wait" I say, my voice cracking. He walks out and I look at Damon, he had to know he was there.

"Why would you do that?! You knew he was standing there! How could you do that?!" I yell, running after Stefan. He was halfway down the driveway when I caught up with him.

"Stefan, please listen" "Go away" "No, Stefan please don't" "Why don't you just compel me again" "Please, please, I'm sorry... I was on the verge of going off the rails, you were getting to be to much, I wanted you to know what was going on!" "Stop, Ava, ok?" "No, please Stefan, don't leave me" "I can't, ok?" I was sobbing the entire time.

It's been 2 hours since Stefan disappeared and ever since then I've been laying in his bed, curled in a ball, crying. Memories from the previous night... when we were happy played through my head. Making me sob more.

Sometime along the way, Rebekah got here to make sure I wouldn't break again.

"You'll be ok, he'll come back around" She says, soothingly. "He's not coming back" I whisper, sobbing. "Sh, it'll be ok" "No it won't be!"

~Rebekah~
Damon told me that she was gonna need me again, so I immediately came. She's been crying over Stefan go figure for hours now, eventually, she cries herself to sleep.

"How's she doing?" "Why do you care?" "I really didn't know he was there!" "Whatever" "Believe me or don't Rebekah, but your sister is important... I'd never hurt her like that, besides I knew odds are either I'd have to call you guys again, or her and Stefan would be going at it all day and all night again" I scrunch up my face. I didn't need to know that, but good for her!

"Oh, it's not like you didn't know they did it already" "True" I agree. We talked about what we should do downstairs since Ava was sleeping upstairs.

"I just don't know what to do anymore" I cry, unintentionally. "Hey, Rebekah, they'll figure this out... It happened before, they figured it out... she'll be ok" Damon reassures me.
