Elejah Always

Miles away to being here

Kol and Klaus waited for Rebekah in a restaurant for lunch. Ever since
Elena's accident Elijah shut down an had not spoken to them at all. She was the bridge between them and him.

Flashback

Few days before Elena's attack

"I don't understand how you and Kol still don't see that the Gilberts are full of pain an they are blinded by it"

"It's not that. But I have to support mother and father, an Kol. This whole witch-hunt against Kol has damaged our business. It gave us a bad name and people have pulled out of five of our most important projects." Klaus said adding,"they invite you both to father's birthday party last weekend"

"And treated Elena like a ghost. She doesn't deserve this." Elijah pointed out.

"And the Gilberts? How do they treat you? You said that Greyson asked you not to come to his house again?!" Klaus reminded his brother,"and you were just there to pick Elena up."

"I can't believe I am hearing this. So, now you are going to ignore her, too?"

"I am not saying that, but this will be hard."

Rebekah strolled in and waved a little at her brotberd as she saw them sitting at their favourite table. Once, the four of them had the greatest time there, always joking, but also sharing the hardest moments. But that seemed like thousand years ago.

Finally, Rebekah sat down and ordered a large Cosmopolitan.

"It's that bad?!" Kol said by the way his sister ordered her drink.

Rebekah updated them fully.

"How is Elijah?" Klaus asked.

"What do you think?" Rebekah said as she took a sip of her drink.

"I tried to call him," Kol said,"but he had just blocked me. This cannot go on like that anymore. We messed up. But we really want Elena to be all right. In all this, he, who had tried to do his best for everyone, is paying the highest price. And I don't know how to make this better."

"It's not you guys, you know that. He just broke. Remember what they had said back then" Rebekah said.

"They don't think she would ever wake up" Klaus pointed out.

"How is he going to tell her that they lost the baby, too "Rebekah sighed.

"I am going over to him, tonight!" Kol said resolved.

"It's not a good idea" Rebekah warned.

"It's never going to be a good idea." Klaus remarked. "But we have to break this silence up somehow. And maybe it is good that he kicks and screams at us. I am ready to take anything he will dish out"

"Me, too" Kol said.

Rebekah inhaled sharply, but knowing her brothers, she knew that whatever she said now would not matter.

In the hospital , Meredith introduced Dr Stefan Salvatore to Elijah, who had informed himself about all different rehabilitation centers already, and among others, he knew exactly what Stefan's center offered.

"Nice to meet you" Elijah said as he shook his hand."I have considered your center. If I choose you I want the best team to work with my wife, with Elena. I am willing to make a substantial donation for all your programs."

"I was informed that you have already donated, not once. It helped so much with the research." Stefan said.

"Yes. I- well-" Elijah sighed."Sorry that I spoke about money, the donations. You have to excuse me. I - can we reschedule this- Tomorrow?"
