13 Reasons Why ↣ Mystic Falls (Elena Gilbert

vi. Grayson Gilbert

"Welcome, you know who I am, so I'll skip the introduction. Mom, I don't know how you even did it. If I were you, I would've left him years ago. Years before you found out about my mental health. It still hurts how much my father changed in the span of a month. He broke you mom, I heard the slaps and kicks that were aimed your way. But I never said anything because I still had hope for him. I do that, a lot and it's not a good trait. It ruins you, one moment at a time. You know what dad, you deserved drowning that night. You ruined mom and me. Even if you apologized for everything, it still isn't enough. Those tears I cried before I would sleep every night, even after you died, the blood I shed, the opportunities I could've gotten and the confidence I could've developed, all were wasted and can never be brought back. I deserved better than you and I'm not sorry for saying that."

Then they hear Elena's yelps and hear Grayson Gilbert's yells.

Damn, this guy's abusive, Damon thought.

Jeremy stands up in rage, he didn't know his father was abusive. But there was nothing he could do about it, his father was dead.

Confusion swept over the others, as they wondered how on earth could Elena have been beaten by her dad if he was dead.

When they asked Jeremy, he told that most of these files dated back to Elena's junior year, she had wanted to die since then.

"I miss my dad, the man who'd always have my back especially in school, he'd tutor me on lessons I didn't know, until I would perfect them, the man who'd teach me how to fix our own car, who could care less if I got an A or a B+ in school. But know that guy is gone. He was gone the second he learned about my general anxiety disorder that comes from a personality disorder, I always thought that he'd be the one to accept what was going on in my head, but in his eyes, I was a mistake. And if you haven't caught up yet, my father was somewhat abusive."

Rebekah, who had paused the tape, after hearing the younger Gilbert's sobs, decided that some words of comfort would be a good plan. As she thought of what to say, Klaus somewhat found himself relating to the doppelganger, he too was abused as a child, by the man he had called father. But before he could say anything about it, Rebekah had decided on what to say.

She moved over to Jeremy's side and started rubbing his back, calming him down as she whispered to him, "Hey, it's going to be alright. Elena's somewhere amazing, where no one's going to hurt her anymore. She's finally happy. Now let's finish this tape, knowing that this is what she would have wanted."

"If I ever kill myself, that would be inevitable. I promise you in about 2 or 5 years, you'd see me somewhere in the house with a foaming mouth."
