It wasn't your fault.

You got to say goodbye.

There was nothing you could do.

The last one makes me angry. Very angry. Even though this is my mantra, to keep me going, being so powerless really did affect me in ways I wish I would never feel.

If only my blood could heal her, yet the world conspires against me. The one disease I can't heal is what my mother contracts. Cancer. The word is venom to me, more potent than the bite of a werewolf. Such a short word for something that fills others with sorrow, that kills.

It wasn't your fault.

You got to say goodbye.

There was nothing you could do.

I have decided. Mystic Falls only reminds me of her. Whether it would be the ice cream place she used to take me to, or in my friends. The friends who only look at me with worry, like I'm going to snap. Fortunately, I prefer to have emotions- I am not going to pull an Elena. Goodbye Mystic Falls, my home, my nightmare.

It wasn't your fault.

You got to say goodbye.

There was nothing you could do.
