*American Gothic*
Nobody said it was gonna be easy
But when I forgive
There are no strings attached
I was not gonna bring up your flaws in an argument
Not gonna risk on a counter-attack
When you first revealed your betrayal
My first reaction was "How dare you rob me of my trust?"
But not even this would be able to shake our foundation
'Cause it was created by us
I can still see you
Front row point of view
We spent our entire relationship fighting each other
Our goals were exactly the same
She and Elijah stood in front of each other in a Pennsylvania alley, arguing.
"Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" he accused and asked her.
"Of course not. You looked out for me, when I had no one. You've given me a second chance now, when no one else will." She rested a hand on the side of his face. "I love you. Elijah." When he turned his face away, she dropped her hand. "You don't believe me."
He looked at her.
"I want to. It's my disease. I keep wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don't know you. I don't think I ever will." He walked away from her.
She stood there for a minute and watched him walk away, before catching up with him and putting a hand on his arm.
"Wait."
He stopped and looked at her hand on his arm, then her, then her hand again.
She got the hint and let go.
"Goodbye, Katherine," he said, saying her name that she now went by these days, instead of her human name.
She watched, as he left.
*Mystic Falls- Mikaelson Mansion*
I put you through hell by demanding apologies
Even though I was the one causing pain
With your little mishap
The ball was in my court to prove I could be the stronger one of us
By taking over the role you so elegantly played those years
When I needed a rock
I can still see you
Front row point of view
It hurts
But I'm not about to give you up
Though broken
My heart still beats
It will not stop, stop
