Y/n POV
"Elijah, this would never work" I stormed into our bedroom and began to stuff all my belongings into suitcases, Elijah followed me in.

"Y/N, we can keep trying. I want to be with you" He was begging me, but I already made up my mind, I was leaving.

"I don't want to keep trying. This isn't how I want to spend my life, I don't want to be in constant danger. I want a family and a normal life, you know that. I don't know why I ever started to date you, we both knew it would never work out" both of us had tears running down our faces, I zipped up the bag and pushed past him. When I got to the front door I looked back at him "I love you Elijah" I opened the door and walked out, leaving Elijah to stare at my retreating figure.

Three years later...

After three years I had decided to come back to New Orleans, even after everything that happened here, it was my home. I had an internship at a major international office and I was ready to build a life for myself. In the three years, I was gone, I went to college, graduated early and now it was time for me to live in the real world. I spent a few weeks meeting new people and earning my spot in the corporation. Everything was going perfectly until the one person I was dreading to see sat by me while I was drinking at the bar. "It's good to see you back in town Y/N" I heard his perfect voice say to me, I sighed and hoped I would have enough will power to get through this conversation without jumping into his arms.

"Well the feeling isn't mutual," I said and tried to leave the bar uninterrupted, but he followed me out. "So now you follow me? You never followed me" He opened his mouth to speak but I spoke before he could "No, okay? After everything we went through, you just let me walk away. Why?" I had tears in my eyes, but my anger let my voice continue while he looked awful.

"I did follow you" I was shocked, I hadn't seen him in three whole years "I never stopped, I had to make sure you were okay" I couldn't look him in the eyes, and he kept stepping closer to me until there were only a few feet between us.

"Why did you let me go?" My voice was breaking, all the anger I had was gone and now I was just completely sad.

"I knew you wouldn't change your mind, so I let you go, followed you to college, and never stopped until you came here. I let you stay here for a little while until I finally got the courage to talk to you" He looked genuine and I knew I wouldn't be able to stay mad at him "Let me take you on a date, I still love you, and I want us to work"

"God, I don't know why I love you, but I can't stop I've never been able to stop" I grabbed the back of his neck and looked into his eyes, then his lips and kissed him. We put all the love and frustration in our bodies into that kiss, in three years we still loved each other. When we broke the kiss, he smiled, and I grinned right back.

"So... is that a yes?"

"Shut up" I smiled and kissed him once again, I missed this.

"Shut up" I smiled and kissed him once again, I missed this
