I felt a knot gather in my throat and I started to cry my tears slid down my face and dripped onto my pillow. I covered my mouth to try to cover my cries. It's pretty pointless to try to muffle them in a house full of supernatural beings with supernatural hearing.

A couple moments later Freya opened the door and sat on my mattress on the floor. "I'm sorry you didn't deserve that. You were worried about how everyone would react and I just made it worse. I shouldn't have left my pills out that's just tempting you ."

"You didn't leave them out they were in the cabinet and I took them. You didn't do anything..." I stare at the wall

"Exactly..I didn't do anything. You needed someone to look after you and no one was this whole time."

"He was he just wasn't... wasn't a good choice." I hug her arm.

"All of it makes sense. All of the times you'd try to ditch school,and  when you'd beg your mom to let you stay.  When you tried to run away to your dad... you wanted him to save you. You didn't just want to see him you wanted him protect you." The pieces click together in her mind and she starts to cry too.  "Im so sorry"

"How could you have known? I never told anyone well until now.I never wanted to say anything because I like just being seen as pure or as pure as a tribrid whose father is Klaus mikaelson can be. Just talking about it makes me feel an  unclean everyone who looks at me, I can see it."

"Hope-" she starts

"I know it's not my fault and whatever but everyone looks at me weird after they know and I just feel paranoid that everyone knows and they're talking about it and they're talking about me more it feels..." I start to feel the knot in my throat. "Everything was finally settling down. Josie's friends are nicer to me now and now everything is a mess. I know that sounds like a stupid thing to be upset about out of everything but it's driving me crazy. I won't be able to just be as normal as I can as the only tribrid to ever exist that was orphaned by a previous student and all the other crap I have going on" I start to cry.

Freya pulls her arms tight around me.

"I just want to be normal. It's so stupid but I wish I didn't have powers I wish I had parents I just wish everything was different " tears cascade down my cheeks

"It's not fair." She holds my hand and rubs her finger over the back of my palm.

"I wish mom was here."

"I know" she pulls me to her chests and I face her.

"I'm sorry, I know she's not here and you're here and-"

"I know what you mean. I know it's different."  She kisses my head and she just me lay and cry into her shoulder
