Nineteen: Hayley

A/N
Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I've written. Anyway, I do check my story a few times but if you do see any mistakes, don't be afraid to tell me and don't forget to like ❤

I haven't seen Jack in such a long time and now, here he was, right in front of me. In his wolf form of course, but nevertheless, I could see him behind the trees. I spent the day in the bayou, Klaus and Elijah has business matters to take care of and the bayou was safe. Now, that Rebekah was my babysitter.
"What's going on with you, love? I feel like you are a million miles away," she smiles.
We stared at the lake, a murky green colour. The dampness clung to the air. God, I missed this place.
"I usual am," I took a seat beside her.
So many things have changed. I almost forgot how circumstances can make the person.
Years ago, when I first met Klaus, he was a monster. Now, he is a father. A protector.
When I first met Elijah, he was the noble brother. But time has made him do things without remorse, it has changed him.
But people I care about are still alive, Cami, Davina, and they don't remember me.
Marcel, doesn't remember me.
And in a weird way, neither does Rebekkah.
Our almost 8 year friendship is compressed to the months we have spent together. And, although, I think of her as family. I know she doesn't see me quite there as yet.
"Maybe you should tell me about it, take your mind off it?"
I took a deep breath, not knowing how she would react.
"I married Jack knowing I was in love with Elijah to save my pack from the curse. That way, your mother wouldn't have power. Then, he died." My eyes saddened, my heart ached. "I knew I couldn't be with Elijah at that point, my husband had just died. So I left, I left with Klaus. That's the first time I saw him as family, when we were in the woods together. And he told me he trusted me."
"So you have feelings for both my brothers?"
I took a deep breathe.
"I do. But, Elijah, my feelings for him are constant, he's reliable and I do love, it's just... Klaus, he just..."
"Got under your skin?"
"Yeah. And I can't shake it... he makes me feel alive. He makes me feel like a Queen. So important and I love the way he is with Hope. I didn't think I felt that way about him until Elijah left and I was alone with Klaus when Hope was around seven. Let's just say, she wasn't a fan of my relationship with Elijah."
"Listen, love, I've been in a few dozen bad relationships myself. Hayley, I know you know who you love more, you just don't want to admit it to yourself because you know you will loose the other. But, love, you have to tell him how you feel."
I sighed. "You're right. It's just... hard."
"I know," she sighed. "Come here." She nodded, opening her arms. I hugged her as she embraced me. I really missed Rebekah.
