Chapter 6: Timeless Love
Lily PoV
"Okay then!" I yelled back while I walked with long strides down to the others again, "Do not give up Lily take the harder," said Rebekah who pointed to the stairs. I sighed deeply jerk spirit on the shoulders "Okay," I replied while I turned around and went back upstairs. I walked until I came to Elijah's room again and I knocked again, "Go away!" roared his voice from inside the room.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath before I opened them again and I pushed up his door with all my strength. The door opened and I went in there I saw Elijah lying in bed with his back to me looking into the wall. I plucked up courage before I walked towards the bed when I noticed that he kept his arms crossed.
"Did not I tell you to leave?" He asked angrily while he turned and looked me straight in the eye. "Sorry, it's just that ..." I responded but halted "It has happened so much I have just learned that two of my best friends have been murdered" I whispered while tears began to flow down my cheek. I felt my voice was weaker, Elijah sat up and his face grew calmer.
I sat down next to him, "Then I found out that you were here in town and everything was too much for me," I said as I put my hands over my face. "When I saw you standing in front of Damon stepped in just a nightdress steamed me to jealousy inside." He admitted, I took my hands from my face and looked at Elijah who turned his face towards me.
He looked at me with those warm eyes that I fell for, 200 years ago about "Envious of Damon?" I asked and was in a better mood than I was a little while ago. "No Lily, I was jealous because I thought you would choose him instead of me." He replied honestly. "Elijah, I could never be with Damon because my heart belongs to someone else" I said and looked at things in the room.
"Who?" He asked while I was playing with my jewelry hanging on my collar, I opened the jewelry and took out a ring "you" I replied. Elijah had been face down was lifted up and looked up at the ring that I held in my palm "Lily," was all he got was "Yes, that's the ring you gave me during the ceremony" I said.
He let his hand touching the ring before he stood up against a beautiful shrine that I remember from when we were young. He sat down again with a box in his lap "In this box are the things I hold very dear," he said and opened it. In the low letters, a lock of hair that was my and a small box made of velvet.
He took the box and opened it there lay his ring that I gave him during the ceremony, I lost my breath of what I saw, He had saved the ring 'I thought, shocked. "You see what it is" he said and I nodded, "This is your letters that I saved during the years, maybe a little yellowed now after the long period and your lock." He said, turning his face towards me again.
"I never gave up hope for you and I have been looking for you since I left you," he said, while my eyes grew bigger shock of "Elijah, I do not know if I'm ready and you hurt me." I said honestly. Soon I was running out of the room, down the stairs, out the front door and out into the pitch-black night. I heard them call out my name in the night "Lily!".
