Elsie

All the fear and the fire of the end of the world happens each time a girl falls in love. It burns so brightly, there is no wonder why it's a danger to everyone who dares to touch it. I guess I am one of them. I am uncertain about Will. I don't know what to feel. But, I am pretty sure this is love.

''You're so fucking perfect'' he says, over and over again. I keep laughing and even as Martin crosses my mind, it doesn't stop me from enjoying this.

I got revenge tonight, a little. I want more.

It disturbed me, how easily I pushed that knife into his wrist. I could have killed him and at that moment, it felt like I might have. The girls or Will or even Michael and Will and Damon, couldn't have stopped me.

For the first time in my life, I feel happy. I felt like this on fire's night. But that was an illusion, an echo of what I wanted. Now I have this thing with Will. It almost feels unreal.

''I thi-''

''What?'' he asks, kissing my cheeks. I take a fist of his hair before bringing his lips back to mine. I am met with so many emotions, it has to be love. Otherwise, why would I feel like this?

I know we said we are supposed to ruin them but, I don't want to do that anymore. Damon, in a way, angered me but at the end of the day, his words sank in. He was right and that helped me. He is the reason why I was able to face Martin tonight.

Michael is my brother. It's weird when I think about it but just for that fact, I think he couldn't ruin me or vice versa. We haven't gotten the chance to know each other better but he has already been protective over me. I trust him more.

Then, there's Kai.

I actually don't know where we stand.

He's hot and very attractive. I think there's something there. And I don't want to go there.

Besides, doesn't he have Quinn? If so, why does he keep eye-fucking me?

''Elsie? Come quick!'' It's Addy. Will turns his head to the side, sighing before pressing his forehead on my chest. I softly chuckle as I kiss the top of his head. 

I don't know what's happening but I get out of my room with a smile on my face. Can you blame me?

It isn't until I spot Kai and Michael arguing that I realize something has gone terribly wrong.

I walk towards Damon, my hand locked in Will's.

''What happened?'' I ask before I turn around. Quinn's door is wide open, Mila and Addy both at her side.

''My love, I wouldn't go in there'' Damon warns me and I ignore him. Will lets me go because, well, why wouldn't he let me go?

I rush to her bed and close the door as I get on her bed.

''Quinn. Quinn look at me'' I take her hands in mine. I press small kisses on them until she looks at me.

She stares at me with so much hatred and hostility, I can't help but frown.

What did I do?

When she talks, I can hear so clearly all the words she wishes she would say that are stuck in her head. 

''Get out. Get the fuck out!'' She screams. I flinch and Quinn breaks as she lays her head on Adelaide's shoulder.

''What? What have I done?'' My voice cracks as she turns to look at me again.

''You have everything and you just- you just had to steal this from me!'' I look at Mila for support but she's staring at the floor.

I have no idea what Quinn is talking about.
