It's not hard to love, it's hard to share that love with the other person. Sometimes it's not worth it to share your feelings if your going loose them in the end.

Early 1800s
"Catch me!" Calista giggles as she sprints through a field of purple flowers. Elijah watches from the window as Nik chases after the red headed girl. Rebekah joins him at the window.
Rebekah sighs and looks up Elijah, "I wish he'd admit he was in love with her for the past 800 years. How can some hide and suppress it that long?"
"Nik's a complicated man," Elijah responds, "It would help though if Calista admitted that she was in love him."
Rebekah shakes her head as they hear her squeal. Nik picks her up and spins her around, after finally catching to her. They may be vampires but catching her can prove to be a challenge.
"At this rate, they're going to be in love and not together till the end of time!" Rebekah whines with frustration.
"You caught me!" Calista says with a grin.
Nik picks one of the purple flowers and hands it to her. He watches a grin spreads across her face, "For my beautiful Callie."
Nik offers her his arm and she gladly takes it as they make their way back into the house.
Elijah makes his down to the party they are holding. Nik excuses himself to go talk to some important guests as Elijah approaches Calista.
"Hello, Cal," Elijah says and over a smile.
"Lijah," She responds and watches as Nik laughs with the group of men. Her lips turn upward as she admires the way his face wrinkles at the corners of his mouth and the way his eyes light up.
Elijah offers his hand to her, "Would care to dance?"
"I'd be pleasured," Calista answers and curtsies before him. She places her hand in his as he leads her to wear the others are dancing.
"I saw you and Nik in the yard," Elijah says and she gazes up at him.
"Is that so?" She asks and he nods.
Elijah pulls her closer so he can whisper into ear so only she can hear him, "When are you going to admit your in love him?"
"What? Excuse my, Mr Mikaelson, I will do no so thing!" She says to him quietly with a huge grin on her face. The sound of her voice draws Nik's attention and a frown spreads across his face as he sees how close his brother is to his Callie.
"Cal, you'd be so happy if you did," Elijah says to her and she curtsies to him as the dance ends, "Rebekah requests you in the study."
She nods and makes her way through the crowd of people and into the study. Rebekah is staring out the window they were watching Nik and Calista.
"You requested my presence, Bekah?" Calista asks and Rebekah nods.
"You know I only want you to be happy? And I see how smile when your with Nik and the way he smiles when he's with you? When--"
"Bekah," Calista interrupts, "Nothing's going on with nor will anything ever."

Calista lays in the grass staring up at the stars thinking about Nik. How she wants nothing more to be with him but will not risk her family to do so. Plus, Tatia would disapprove and she wants to please her sister.
Nik watches her from the study window with a smile as Elijah moves to stand next to hid younger brother.
"Where is Calista?" Elijah asks.
"Right there if you want to go sweep her off her feet," Nik spats and takes gulp of his drink. Elijah frowns at his brother then glances at Calista.
"I wish to do no such thing, brother."
"I saw you dancing with her. Don't lie to me!" Nik screams at his brother and grabs his top, "Admit that you love her, brother!"
"Niklaus," Rebekah scolds as she pulls Elijah away from Nik, "Stop this."
Nik slams his glass down on the table and gazes out the window to see that Calista had already gone. He storms out of the room to her bedroom.
The door is cracked and peeks through to see her undress, "Nik, it's rude to spy on lady but while you're here I request your assistance," She says as motions to her corset.
Nik pushed the door open and appears behind her. Slowly his finger under the strings and she holds into place, wishing to not expose her nude body.
"Thank you, Nik."
He nods before exiting the room. He makes his way down to the kitchen and in a fit of rage throws a bottle of wine at the wall. The red liquid runs down the wall, staining the wall paper but he can't bring himself to care.
All he craves his her.
But the one thing that could make him happy isn't something he wants to risk loosing.
