The Tragic Love Story of Elijah and Elena

Chapter Five

Days pass and I haven't spoken to Damon since our fight. Or Caroline that matter. I refuse to feel guilty for not telling Damon that Elijah was back. What I said to him was harsh. We're not together, but I shouldn't have said that. I feel bad but I can't let him know that.

I haven't spoken with Elijah since we talked under that gazebo. He makes it so hard to not give in. I wanted to tell him everything. Everything that's troubling me and why I'm pretending to still have my humanity off, and tell him he was right about me having it on.

I've been hiding away in my room for days. Bonnie wants to hangout. She's worried. As worried you could be when your friend supposedly has her humanity off. I hate lying to her.

I'm ignoring her, simply ignoring her calls and texts. I don't have an excuse for her. I can't say I'm in no mood or that I'm sick, no emotions remember?

I got a phone call from Elijah but I didn't answer him. I can't talk to him without telling him everything. I can't tell him.

I hear a knock on the door and I sigh as I walk over to it. It's Elijah. Talk to him. My subconscious whispers. Oh now she cares? I put my hand ever so lightly on the door knob, unlocking it and opening it.

He stands there in an all-black suit, hands in his pockets. "Elijah." I whisper and he smirks, "Elena." He says smoothly. I see his lip twitch into a bigger smirk and sighs.

"I'm leaving town. I'm going back to New Orleans in the morning." He says in disappointment. "You're leaving?" I ask in slight disbelief and disappointment. I don't want him to leave.

"Yes." He nods and looks down quickly then back up. "I hope one day you can find your way back to yourself." I look down and play with my sleeves. Don't leave. Please.

"Well, have a safe trip back." I smile faintly, trying to hide my disappointment. He nods and sighs. "Goodbye Elena." And he walks away. "Goodbye... Elijah..." I whisper and close the door.

My eyes grow watery and I shut them tightly. He's leaving. No. please don't leave me. I stand up and grab my phone, dialing Bonnie's number. "Hey, I'll take you up on that offer." I need to get my mind off of this before I get really upset and turn it off.

I change and fix my makeup. Then I walk out the door to see Bonnie.

After meeting her at the grill, we start walking around for a bit, just laughing and talking. "So Elijah is back in town?" she asks and glances at me. "Yeah, but he's leaving in the morning." I sigh and shrug like it's nothing.

"Let me guess, Damon told you?" I ask and put my hands in my jacket pockets. She nods and sighs quietly. "Yes. And you're fighting because you didn't tell him Elijah was in town." I stop her right there. "I don't have to tell him Elijah's back in town. Why does everybody think I have an obligation to tell Damon that Elijah is in town?"

She shakes her head and stops in her track. "I agree with you Elena, I'm not saying I picked his side. But Elena, I know something you're not telling me." I furrow my eyebrows and fold my arms across my chest.

"What?" I ask cautiously. "I know your humanity is back on. Otherwise you wouldn't of been ignoring me, and you wouldn't of been so defensive when I mentioned the whole Damon and Elijah thing." She looks at me knowingly and I sigh.

"How long have you known?" I ask quietly and look down. "For a while. I don't know when you turned it on or why, but I think it's time to tell everyone, before it's too late." She says and I feel my stomach drops. "Bonnie you're the best." I say before running off.

As I drive I look at the time. He should still be here. I get out of the car and run to the door, knocking on it. No answer. I push the unlocked door open and look around the house. He's gone.

I vamp around the whole house and find a note in his study, on his desk.

Elena, I knew you would come looking for me, it was only a matter of time. I know I said I was leaving in the morning, but I thought I would leave earlier. I'm sorry I couldn't help bring you back. But I believe there is still hope. Always and forever,

-Elijah

He left. Why did he? I shouldn't care. I really shouldn't. I shrug it off and store the note in my pocket.

Whatever. He's gone, and now I can go back to my life. That's all that matters. I walk out of the mansion and get back into my car. I drive off and head home, running up ti my room and doing something I haven't done in years.

Writing in my diary.

After a while, I put it away and head downstairs, grabbing a blood bag. I haven't fed in two days.

I've come to the conclusion, that I'll be fine. I survived this long without him around, and even before I met him, I was doing fine.

So I'll be fine. I don't need him.

This was just a filler. I know it's a bit confusing, short, and messy, but it'll get better. I have big plans for the next few chapters so that should make up for this crappy chapter. Also, I'll try to post twice a week. No specific days, just twice a week. Sorry that it's messy and weird, and short. But I wanted to get it done so you guys could read it. Thanks for reading! -Emily
