Stefan's P.O.V

Rosalie finished her story and wiped a stray tear from her eye . 

" She was my best friend . " she whispered . 

Edward pulled Rosalie into a hug  . 

" It's alright , Rose , we'll get her back . " Edward said gently . 

" I never knew .... " I said , still in shock from the story . 

" That's because she didn't want you to know ! She wanted to forget about it , but her past haunts her , just as it does Katherine . " Rosalie snapped .

Sydney's P.O.V 

I was sitting in my room in the dark with a foot proped up on the table to stretch out my long legs with a glass of Vodka . 

" Hello , Sydney . " said a fimilar voice . 

I smiled curved on my lips. 

" Oh , we're on speaking terms now ? I must've missed the memo . " I said , with my back still to the balcony where the stranger was standing . 

" I heard you were back in town. It doesn't have anything to do with Stefan Salvatore , does it ?  " he asked . 

" And if it does ? " I teased .

I got up and turned around to face Elijah . 

" Hello , El . " I said , calling him by his old nickname . 

Elijah took me in , looking me over . 

" It's not like you haven't seen me before . " I said  . 

" No , but it's been awhile . " he said . 

I knew  he meant : " Since you left me that night in Paris . "

Elijah looked at the ground in pain . 

" Elijah . " I whispered and I walked over and pulled him into a hug . 

" I've missed you . " I said . 

" I missed you too , sweet . " he said. 

He brushed a stray hair from my face . 

I really did miss him .Elijah was the first person to ever accept me for me and for that I'd always treasure him . 

" What has my brother done to you ? " he whispered . 

I looked away . 

" Elijah , help me . " I said , a tear coming down my cheek . 

He pulled me close and kissed my forehead . 

" Why , Sydney , why ? Why do you let him do this to you ? " Elijah asked in a plead . 

" Because , he'll kill everyone I care about . " I whispered . 

" I know . " Elijah said . 

" Elijah , I don't want to be bad anymore . But I can't help it . I can't change ! I'm evil Elijah , it's to late . " I whimpered . 

Elijah sighed .  

" It's never to late , Sydney. I know you . You're a fighter and the only person I've EVER see push you around is Klaus . Don't let him . " he said , stroking my hair . 

iI nodded . 

" Elijah , that night . The night that I left , I wrote you a note but I couldn't bring myself to give it to you . " I said , walking over and reaching onto an old box and pulled out an old letter , handing it to Elijah . 

He read it silently , but I knew what it's say  :

Dearest Elijah , 

When you wake up in the morning , I won't be here . In fact , I'll prbably be halfway around the world by the time you read this . I'm sorry . I'm so dreadfully sorry . It's not that I don't care about you . I really care about you , Elijah , but I'm tiered of being a monster . If I told you were I was going or that I was leaving ,I'd be putting you in danger and I refuse to see you get hurt because of me . Please , understand . I hope for your sake that our paths don't cross again . You don't know how much this will hurt me because you're my best friend . You're the only one who believed in me . Stay safe , for me .

Love , Sydney Petrova 

Elijah looked up and I could see his eyes were watery , but I knew he wouldn't cry . 

" I didn't want you to get hurt . " I said . 

Elijah pulled me into his arms again . 

" Sydney, I love you . I really truly love you , Sydney Petrova . But I know you love Stefan . Anyone would have to be blind not to see it .  " he said . 

" Elijah . " I whisperd . 

" It's okay . " he said , faking a smile . 

I pulled him down into a short kiss and then I pulled back and walked out of the room .
