115- Come To An End.. (END)

Raelyn's P.O.V.

The next day..

I stand there in shock, shakily holding the phone to my ear, as the words I just heard, echo within my mind over and over. "I'm so sorry, Rae.." Caroline says quietly. Mom.. I close my eyes in sadness, before lowering my head. Taking a shaky breath, I speak. "And...what about Tyler..?" I ask in worry. "We haven't seen him yet.." she says. "So...you know...he...might be okay, at least.." Caroline says. Sighing, I speak. "Yeah...maybe.." I say unconvinced. Sighing, Caroline speaks. "Try...try not to think like that, Rae...anyway...I have to go...I'll let you know if I hear anything.." she says. "Thank you.." I say, before hanging up. Just as I do, I hear slow footsteps approach, before hands gently rest on my shoulders, attempting to offer comfort. For a while, both of us are silent. But, after a bit, I sigh, shake my head, step away, and speak. "I told him not to do it...I told him what would happen if he did.." I say, shaking my head, and hugging myself tightly. "But he didn't listen, and now.." I trail off, my voice breaking, as tears fill my eyes. "Now, mom is.." I cut myself off, shaking my head. "Why couldn't he just listen to me for once?!" I ask in a mix of anger and sorrow, my vision blurring more and more.

Sighing, Elijah speaks. "Once we make up our minds about something, there is very little others can do to stop us. Tyler is no different." he says quietly. "He did what he believed was best...that is all any of us can do, no matter the consequences. This, is something that we must accept about each other, whether we agree with said decision or not. Afterall, it is our choices that make us who we are." He says quietly. Hearing this, I narrow my eyes sadly, as the image of a certain someone rises in my mind, making my head lower, before my fists subconsciously clench. "Then tell me...what does that make Him..?" I accidentally mumble to myself out loud. If our choices really make us who we are, then...what does that make Klaus..? At this thought, my eyes narrow even more. Hearing this, he speaks. "What was that..? Apologies, I could not hear you very clearly.." He says apologetically. Realizing I spoke that outloud, my eyes widen in surprise, before guilt fills my chest. Eyes narrowing in sadness, I avert my gaze. Seeing my reaction, he speaks. "Raelyn..?" He asks in concern, reaching towards me.

Sighing, I once again move just out of reach, and speak. "..it was nothing.." I say quietly, head lowering in shame, as I clutch at my upper arm. That...was unfair of me to say that...afterall...Klaus is still his brother...I shouldn't be.. Pushing myself out of my thoughts, I sigh. But...how can I...not feel this way about Klaus..? He...killed mom...I just know it...there's no way she drowned by herself...and I can't just...act like nothing happened.. Sighing once again, I speak. "I, um...I think...I'm gonna go for a walk.." I say, giving him an apologetic smile, before slowly turning, and making my way towards the back door. I need to clear my head for a bit...if I don't...I might.. "Are you sure that is wise? Judging by the cloud cover, it is going to storm soon." He says, snapping me out of my thoughts, making me stop. After a few seconds of silence, I glance over my shoulder slightly. "..I won't be long.." I say. "Allow me to accompany you, then." He says kindly. "No...that's okay.." I say. "But, thank you.." I say with a small nod. He's silent for a while, before finally seeming to understand. "..very well." he says quietly, nodding back. With that, I give him a small, sad smile, before walking outside.

A couple hours later..

Play song now..

As Elijah walks into the bedroom, he stops in his tracks, the moment he sees what I'm doing. My hand was shoved into my backpack, while the corner of one of my shirts peaked out from the opening. "Raelyn..?" He asks in concern, making me freeze up. Lowering my head, I remain silent. "What...are you doing..?" He asks. A pang of pain and guilt jolts through my heart at the sound of his voice. Narrowing my eyes in sadness, I finally sigh, and turn. "It's not what you think.." I say. "Is it not? From where I am standing, it looks as though you are planning to leave.." he says, taking a step closer, as he motions towards my filled backpack. Seeing this, I sigh again, and speak. "Okay so, maybe it is...but, please...let me explain first.." I plead to him. Hearing this, he sighs, and nods. Seeing this, I give him a sad, but thankful smile, before walking towards him, and gently take his hands in mine. "Elijah, I love you...more than I thought I could love anybody...and I want to be with you, I just.." I trail off, trying to figure out how to word it. If I stay...feeling the way I do about Klaus' actions...I might unintentionally hurt him.. "You cannot forgive what my brother has done.." he says, nodding his head sadly.
