Where I stood- A Darkest Powers one-shot.

I don't own The Darkest Powers Trilogy

One of the hardest things in life is watching the person you love, love someone else and even though it hurts you walk away because you love them and want them to be happy even if it breaks you.

"He won't remember you Lena." My sister Sarah's soft velvety voice reminds me as she meets my eyes.

I run my hand through my short red hair watching him. "I know." I reply trying to keep my voice from cracking as I look away from her gaze. As I close my eyes for a moment I feel my sister grab my hand and give it a comforting squeeze.

I shouldn't be here I know that, but I want to make sure he's ok that he'll be fine without me that he's better off not knowing me. They all are Simon and Mr. Bae too, their better off living their lives without me in it. I open my eyes again and let my eyes linger on him from my spot behind the trees as he kisses her who ever she is like there is no tomorrow, but as he does I feel my heart shatter even more. "She's pretty," I think "She'll be good for him." I muse trying to make myself feel better and failing miserably.

I can't help it, but feel a flash of anger as I watch her stand with him- where I stood. I feel a deathly sadness though underneath all the anger and resent towards a stranger who's never done anything to me. All because Derek loves her the way he used to love me or at least he thought he did. " Lena you have to remember you cast that spell so he'd live that takes true love and selflessness to do that and I don't know anyone else who'd be willing to do that." My sister says meeting my gaze again.

I smile sadly and nod in response. "So this is what bittersweet feels like." I muse out loud to her. "I see him alive, but only as a stranger so either way I lose him." I say and continue without waiting for her response. " I would've lost him if I didn't cast that spell and now that I did I lose him still he'll never remember me or us." I hear my sister sigh again. "We should go..." she says turning as beginning to walk back through the dirt path as I turn to follow her I stop. " Goodbye Derek I love you and I think you loved me but she'll this new girl I think she'll love you a million times more than I ever could and-" I stop as my voice cracks and turn and follow my sister away from him, away from anything that'll remind me of the love I lost. As I walk a tear runs down my face and a song pops in my head.

'Cos I don't know who I am, who I am without you

All I know is that I should

And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you

All I know is that I should

'Cos she will love you more than I could

She who dares to stand where I stood

"And your happy." I say softly looking back one last time and turning back around to follow my sister I think. "At least I have that."

Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood
