Lacey's POV
Chapter 8: Don't Walk Away
When I wake up from yet another nap (for some reason I'm completely exhausted all the time) everyone's gone. No Klaus, no Damon, no Stefan, no Elena. No one is here. I leave my room in search of them, and since they're obviously not in the house I go outside. "DAMON! STEFAN!" I yell. Instead I'm greeted a slightly different face. Klaus appears beside me. "Hey. I was wondering where you went. Have you seen Stefan or Damon?"
"Lacey, we need to talk." He says, completely ignoring my question. His eyes are cold. They now have a dark glint in them. I stare worriedly, a pit growing at the bottom of my stomach.
"What's wrong?"
"I have to leave town." My eyes widen. "What?" His jaw clenches. "But, you only just got here. You can't leave! I just started getting to know you. You promised me!" He gave me a weak smile. "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I can't stay. If you knew, you would understand." He turns away, his back facing me. "I love you!" I shouted. Woah. Where did that even come from? He turns to look at me, and I noticed how his eyes glistened, threatening to spill.
"Lacey, this is hard enough, love -" I cut him off. "I love you." I say again. It feels good. But at the same time, I feel like I'm breaking inside. "Please don't go. I can't lose you too. You said you'd never leave, you said you couldn't. You said you were different! You lied to me! You're the same as everyone else!"
"Sweetheart..." He whispers. My close as a tear drips down my cheek. That's when it really hits me. He;s really leaving. I will never see Klaus again.
I haven't even realized how much I need him, not until he decided to rip himself away from me. Not until I felt what it's like to lose him.
"So you're just going to walk away?!" I shout. "Don't walk away!" He doesn't stop walking this time. "Klaus!"
My mind grows foggy and worn out. I run home to my room. I slam the door shut behind me.
My back presses against the door, sliding down until I sit, tears stream down my face. I might be acting dramatic, like my life would end because of one silly guy. It shouldn't end. But my heart feels like it's shattering. My body has been lit on fire, everything is broken. I feel so stupid. After everything I've done to try to turn my life around, it's all coming crashing down on top of me.
