Poison & Wine - Chapter LIX

~ * • ° • ° • * ~

Rebekah, Elijah, Klaus and I were all sitting at a table together in the dining room. It had taken us a couple of days but we eventually made it back to Mystic Falls, Viriginia... Just in time for the stupid prom that I had allowed Caroline talk me into going to tonight. I still didn't get why I was going but agreed nonetheless.

Anyways, when we got back, it was at two in the morning so I forced everyone to sleep before we spoke about it. Elijah and I had already discussed what we thought at the hotel two nights ago, but we just wanted confirmation before we announced it. Elijah and I stayed in neighboring rooms - I had barely acknowledged Klaus because of the decision Elijah and I had decided - and in the the morning I had cooked breakfast for them. I forced them to eat without discussing the cure and then I forced them to help me wash dishes. I had never tried something harder than convincing the Mikaelsons to clean up their own mess. After all of that, I finally agreed it was time to talk about it.

Rebekah begun the conversation. "Elijah, being a human means a fresh start. I can grow old and have a family and fill my days with meaning, knowing that each one matters,"

Klaus laughed at her. "Well, that was poetic,"

I glared at him. "Can you try not to be rude?"

Elijah ignored him and squeezed my hand under the table. "Well, if you can provide us with a more compelling reason for wanting the cure, Klaus, please,"

Klaus folded his arms and leaned back in his chair. "Silas can appear as anyone. He got inside my thoughts, convinced me I was dying. Andy knows, I called her... Silas will torment me until I give him the cure."

"And in doing so he will break down the wall to the Other Side," I pointed out.

"So it doesn't trap him there when he dies. He wants to reunite with his lost soulmate," Klaus said before looking to Elijah. "You of all lovesick fools should applaud his devotion."

Rebekah scoffed. "He will open the floodgates for every supernatural being that has ever died,"

"Including our dear brothers, Kol and Finn. We'll have our family back and Andy will have her brother back," Klaus pointed out and Elijah looked over at me with a frown.

"Please, you hated Kol and you kept Finn in a box for most of his life," Rebekah countered.

"Elijah, please," Klaus pleaded, leaning forward and using his blue eyes to beg.

Elijah continued staring at me and I nodded to him, encouraging him to pick what we had previously discussed the other night. "Your personal discomfort might not be sufficient reason for putting the entire world in jeopardy, Klaus. I think our sister deserves a shot at happiness," Elijah finally said. We had decided that Rebekah would probably have a better reason than Klaus, and she had.

Klaus sat forward, disbelief on his features. "Tell me you're joking. Tell me you're not fating me to an eternity of torture,"

"I made my decision,"

"And you, Andy?" Klaus looked at me.

I stared at him with pity. "Mikael and Esther would come back, Klaus. I can't let them hurt any of you, even if that means giving up my brother forever."

I could tell Klaus was not happy with my response as he swiftly stood and leaned down to speak into Rebekah's ear. "When you're sick and dying, and you beg for my blood, I will laugh in your face and compel you to forget me," He hissed before he stormed out.

Oddly enough, Rebekah remained carefully composed as she touched her hair and cleared her throat. "Where is the cure?" She asked Elijah.

Elijah squeezed my hand as I stood and headed after Klaus. Elijah would now tell Rebekah she would have to prove herself by being human for a day, and she would obviously accept the challenge. I found Klaus in his room. "Can I help you?" He growled as soon as I entered.

"I want to talk to you," I said, moving towards him. He had his back to me as he sat on the bed. "You have to understand why I chose what I did. I need to protect you." I sat beside him.

"Protect me? I'm the Original hybrid, I need protection from no one," He snapped, glaring at the ground.

I reached over and grabbed his chin in mine, turning his face so he was looking at me. "Really? Because I'm pretty sure without me, you'd be long gone,"

He scoffed, pulling away from me. "No, without you, I would have the cure. Instead, I have to endure an eternity of hell,"

I stood, folding my arms. "Fine then, blame me, Klaus. I don't give a shit at this point," I stomped out, going downstairs and grabbing my coat. Elijah met me at the door and helped me slide my coat on.

"He won't be angry for long, Andrea," Elijah said.

I turned to face him. "I didn't pick his side, Elijah. You know with him he won't accept it if you aren't on his side. I seriously couldn't care less because I know we made the right decision in doing this," I exhaled and quickly hugged him. "I gotta go, Caroline's going to go crazy if I'm late."

Caroline was trying on a red prom dress while Bonnie and I stood there talking about something going on with the said witch. We were picking up prom dresses for the stupid prom.

"What kind of dreams?" Caroline asked as we walked out of the fitting room together. Bonnie was explaining about her dream of my dead brother Jeremy. As she spoke, I no longer felt like I was going to break. I was moving on from him. Of course I'd always miss him, as I would Kol and everyone else I'd lost, but it was about time I moved on.

Bonnie continued talking. "Usually I'm at his grave and all of a sudden, he appears to me," She said in reference to Jeremy.

Caroline responded while she inspected herself in a three-way mirror. "Well, you never got to say goodbye, Bon. You're grieving, that's normal,"

"When I woke up, the couch was on fire,"

"Oh," Caroline said as she turned to face Bonnie and I.

"That puts a ignites curiosity," I commented, folding my arms. They both gave me a look. "Okay, I'm sorry, bad pun. Anyways, continue talking."

Bonnie exhaled, looking utterly exhausted. "I don't know if it's because I was emotional in my dream, or if Shane was right. Without his help, I'll lose control of my magic,"

"No, it's because you need a night off from mourning. And I'm gonna make sure that you have it. The both of you," Caroline looked in between Bonnie and I. We all smiled at one another.

"Um, you look super hot, by the way," Bonnie complimented her, looking down at the red dress.

Caroline smile brightened. "You think?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes slightly before agreeing. "Matt and I are gonna have the sexiest date there." They giggled with each other.

"You know what, I love friend-prom. And it's exactly what prom should be - friends and memories,"

Bonnie nodded in agreement. "Yep,"

Caroline shrugged her shoulders. "Yes, it sucks that my boyfriend can't be here, but the four of us are gonna have the night of our lives, even if one of us is going with a certain Original." Caroline gave me a look.

I sighed, shaking my head. "I told you, Care, Elijah's not coming. I tried convincing him, and he said no."

"But why?" Caroline groaned. "I would prefer it much more than your date being Klaus!"

"Why is that?"

"Because the way you look at Klaus is so much different than how you look at Elijah. You look at Klaus with more... "

"Lust?" Bonnie guessed.

"I was going to say desire but same difference... I just get how you knew exactly what to say to him the other day when he thought he was dying," Caroline shook her head and went back to looking at herself in the mirror.

I shrugged, running a hand through my hair. "Klaus deserves someone to love him,"

"But don't you think you deserve more than the man who murdered your aunt?"

I glared at her. "We all know if Klaus had had the relationship he has with me now back then, that it would have never happened. Klaus isn't as bad as you guys think, he is so much greater," I said passionately.

"Wow," Bonnie said after they stared at me for a moment in stunned silence. "Is that love I hear?"

I gave her a look. "Bonnie―" I was interrupted by the door jingling as someone enters the shop, though it was Caroline looking up and her smile faltering that distracted me. Turning, I saw Elena and Rebekah enter the store and immediately faced away from them.

"Hey, Bonnie. Heard you got your mind wiped - that sucks," Elena said snidely to Bonnie then looked over at Caroline. "Pretty dress, Caroline."

Caroline hm'd and folding her arms. "I know. You helped me pick it out months ago when we were friends - before you tried to kill me,"

"I thought it looked familiar," Elena them decided to focus her attention on me. "Oh, please tell me you aren't going to the prom with Elijah, Andy." I simply ignored her and acted as if no one had spoken to me.

Caroline turned to the store clerk. "Can you press this for me? I'll pick it up later. Bonnie?" They went back to the fitting room while I turned to face Elena, a murderous look on my face when I saw her sly expression.

"Let's get something straight here-" I snapped. "You mess up this night for them, I'm going to mess you up... Actually, I'll just kill you."

Elena smirked. "As if you could,"

I took a step closer. "Do I fib?" Her smirk fell instantly, and I saw a twinge of emotion. It was now my turn to smirk. "See, Elena? I couldn't give a rat's ass if you died at this point, nonetheless by my own hands. So go ahead, try me. Your heart will get a stake in it the moment it happens." I glanced over at Rebekah. "Honestly, Bekah, this is the company you keep? I expected more." I marched away with my head held high, feeling pretty good about it all.

Once Caroline picked out my dress for me, I headed back to the Mikaelson mansion to get ready. It took me a few hours, but I eventually was dressed up. I stared at myself in the full length mirror at my dress.

It was actually a pretty, cream colored dress with it's one shoulder strap. I think Caroline said it was a "Chiffon Embellished One Shoulder Empire Waist Prom Dress" to name it exactly. My hair was curled and hung down around my face, reminding me of Merida's in Brave, except a lot more tame. Honestly, I didn't really care if I looked good or not, I was only going because I had nothing better to do.

"You look beautiful," I jumped at the sound of Elijah's voice. Looking up I saw him standing right behind me with a smile.

I turned to face him with a smile. "Thanks," I looked down and noticed he was wearing a matching tux... Wait, was he going with me? "You're in a extra-classy tux."

"Well, I couldn't let you go alone, now could I?" He held up a corsage that matched my dress. "Caroline helped with the convincing."

I threw my arms around him and breathed him in. He always smelled so good. "Thank you so much, Eli. You don't know how much I appreciate this,"

"I couldn't resist seeing you dolled up," He said as he pulled back to look at me face. "You are always dressed down, not that I'm complaining. You're beautiful whenever." I smiled at the compliment, but my mind was still on Klaus... He was very angry with me and I wish he could just see things from my point of view.

I came back to reality as he slipped the corsage on me. "So should we go?"

He nodded. "Yes, let's go,"

Elijah and I walked into the prom with our arms interlocked. Everything was already started. Couples danced around the room and people stood off to the side in groups talking. The entire room was decorated beautifully, and I could definitely see that Caroline had designed this.

"Do you want to dance?" Elijah asked, looking down at me. I smiled back up at him and hurriedly agreed. We spent the next few songs dancing with each other, and eventually I spied Rebekah by herself so I decided we had done enough dancing together for now.

By the time we reached Rebekah at the punch bowl, Matt had been talking to her, but it wasn't very friendly. I caught the end of the conversation. "I think that 'good' is a hard word to live up to, and I've never seen you do anything remotely good, so... Honestly, no, I don't. I'm sorry," Matt said before he left her. She looked hurt by this response.

"Don't listen to him, Bekah," I said quickly. "He's just still mad about the car wreck."

Rebekah didn't seem to buy it. I nudged Elijah and mouthed to him to dance with Rebekah. He did as I asked and they were out on the floor. As I watched them going away from me, I noticed Elena and Stefan were dancing together... But Elena had on Caroline's dress.

Right then, Caroline arrived, smiling to see that everyone were enjoying themselves. I headed over to her, shocked to see that she had an entirely different dress. "Caroline?" I questioned uneasily. "What happened?"

"Elena stole my dress," She fumed. "So I had to go ask Klaus―"

"Wait, Klaus gave you that dress?" My brow furrowed. "Why would he give you that?"

"Well, I did help him when he thought he had a piece of the white oak stake in him," Caroline explained. I frowned and looked away, not sure why I was jealous. I didn't understand why Klaus called her of all people. She was the most judgmental person in town.

Right then Elena approached us. "So how do I look?" She asked as she got to us.

Caroline scoffed. "Are you kidding me? You look like a back-stabbing bi―" She stopped when she saw Stefan approaching behind Elena. Caroline continued with less fervor. "The dress is beautiful, and it brings out your eyes."

Elena smirked. "Thanks. I thought I'd do it a favor,"

Caroline started to retort but Stefan interceded. "Caroline, why don't you come dance with me, hm?"

Caroline took his hand and they moved to the dance floor, leaving Elena looking rather smug. I turned to looked at her. "Not really, I think you just ruined it," I said with distaste as I stared at the red dress. "You don't really make any color look good, do you? Katherine has much more style."

I marched off and found myself a table where I could sit and watch everyone. Rebekah and Elijah were still dancing, she looked much happier than she did earlier. I knew I made the right decision in letting her have the cure, she deserved to be happy.

"Well, aren't you a sight?" Damon asked as he came over and sat next to me.

"Not too shabby yourself," I commented as I rested my chin on my knuckles. "What is Elena doing here? Shouldn't she be somewhere where people aren't?"

"I don't control her now. The sire bond is broken,"

"Hm," My eyes went to Stefan and Caroline dancing. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have a sire bond to someone. If I ever were, I would probably want it to be to someone I knew. I don't think that it's possible to have one with a complete stranger unless you're one of Klaus' hybrids. Someone once mentioned you have to have a prior relationship.

"So where's Klaus?" Damon asked, pulling me from my thoughts.

I exhaled, looking back at him. "I'm not sure. I'm not exactly his favorite person at this moment,"

"And why is that?"

"Because, rather than handing him the cure, Elijah and I decided Rebekah should get a chance to prove herself. Klaus only wanted the cure to give to Silas so he would stop messing with his head," I explained in a light tone. "Klaus isn't happy that I didn't take his side."

"But you've always taken his side, haven't you?"

I shook my head. "No, you know I always haven't, Damon,"

Damon glanced away for a moment. "Why don't you just tell him how you feel already then?"

"What?" My eyes widened. "I don't have any feelings I need to tell Klaus."

"I was referring to Elijah," Damon leaned forward. "You're acting very touchy with him, but you're also looking at him with a distant look. Now either you're just out of it, or you're wishing he was someone else."

I clenched my jaw and turned my head away. "I don't know what you're talking about,"

"Oh, you don't? Then why don't you go tell Elijah that you want to be with him," Damon gestured to the said Original. I didn't move and he leaned back in his chair. "See? You obviously don't want to give up Elijah when it's obvious that you want Klaus. I mean, I predicted you would choose Klaus when you were watching me the night Kol died."

I let my eyes bore over to Damon's. "I can't be with Klaus, he doesn't want me anymore. He was with that wolf Hayley."

Damon scoffed. "There are two things I'm going to point out to you: one, there were plenty of times I slept with someone else when I wanted Elena. Two, it's not right that you went to Elijah because you were pissed off at thinking that Klaus didn't want you. Are you only with Elijah right now because of that?"

I stood abruptly. "Stop acting like you know everything, Damon. You don't know anything about it," I started to walk away, but his voice stopped me for a moment.

"I know that you're doing the same thing Elena did right now. You should have just let them both go before they fell too deep," Tears hit my eyes and I hurried away from the table, and headed out of the prom. Damon didn't know what he was talking about. He didn't understand that I loved Elijah.

"Andrea?" I flinched when I heard Elijah's voice from behind me. I was standing outside on the walkway, staring at the screen that had a slides how of pictures. "Are you okay?" Elijah murmured, taking my hand in his.

I nodded, trying to force my tears away. "It's fine... I'm fine," I closed my eyes. I was acting more and more like the human Elena everyday. It wasn't exactly fair to anyone.

"Are you in love with him?"

My head snapped over to Elijah. "What?"

"I heard Damon, Andrea," Elijah murmured, turning his face away from me. "You're in love with my brother, aren't you?"

"Elijah, I―" This was all happening quickly, my head felt like it was being crushed.

"I knew as soon as we saw him with that wolf, I just knew," Elijah said as he pulled his hand away and rubbed his eyes. "I saw your expression, I saw how hurt you were. I knew it was always going to be him... It always was him, wasn't it?" The tears left my eyes and I wasn't sure what to say. There wasn't anything for me to say, really. I knew deep down I couldn't ever be with Elijah after everything Klaus and I went through.

I truly believed that Elijah and mine's souls were connected to one another, not because of our once attraction, but because of the magnitude of our affection for the other. I would die for him in a second. I suppose if we had been given more time in the beginning of our relationship that it could have bloomed into love. Instead, it bloomed into a full understanding and an unbreakable bond. Elijah was my soul mate, I now knew that for sure.

But Klaus... I understand Klaus more than I did anyone. I understood why he lashed out whenever he had happiness to destroy it all and I understood why he needed hybrids. I understood why he was so afraid to be alone. The level of understanding that I had for Klaus was on lower level than Elijah and I. While I understood Elijah's soul, I understood Klaus' heart.

I believe I understood Klaus so well because we were so similar in some ways, though I clearly wasn't as angry as him. Ever since our trip to Portland I found myself needing him whenever things got tough. I needed Klaus. I knew I could never forget him or leave him behind, that was evident when I thought he was dead back in October. Klaus had managed to get a permanent place in my heart and I believe I had a place in his as well.

Another thing to consider was that my love for Elijah was immediate, from the very moment I laid eyes on him I knew he was special. My love for Klaus grew over time and wasn't overnight, but he was who I wanted to be with looking back on everything... But I couldn't handle another disappointment from Klaus at this moment.

"Have you nothing to say?" Elijah asked, breaking me from my thoughts.

"I don't know what to say," I admitted in a small, dejected tone.

Elijah looked so broken... Tears soaked his cheeks and his eyes had a hurt look in them... I knew there was nothing I could do to console him, and that killed me. He looked away from me. "I think it's time for me to go,"

"Elijah―"

"Good-bye, Andrea," And with that, he was gone.

I bent down and started crying, my head in my hands. I hated myself for letting that happen. I felt like I should've stopped it, told Elijah that it was him I wanted to be with, but I couldn't. I felt like it was supposed to happen, but I felt like I had just lost him... Even if he had promised me he would always be here. Honestly, I wouldn't blame him if he never wanted to see me again. I could hardly stand myself at this moment.

"Andy?" My head lifted when I heard Bonnie's voice. "What's wrong?"

I stood and wiped my face. "Nothing, I'm fine... Where were you?"

"We have a problem,"

Bonnie, Damon, Matt, Stefan and I stood near the back of the prom. As tempted as I was to tell them all to go to hell, Bonnie revealed that Silas was here. I'll be honest, I was a little interested to see what this guy looked like.

Bonnie continued telling her tale of dancing with Silas. "It's like Jeremy was there. I could talk to him, feel him,"

"Bonnie, that's what Silas does. You can't let him get to you again," Stefan said.

"Yeah, because you all crazy and brainwashed is just not a good look," Damon commented. Right then I heard someone over the mic announce it was time to crown the king and queen, but I barely paid attention.

"One of you guys should take her home," I suggested, looking at the two Salvatores.

Damon scoffed. "What? no. She's safer here in public around all these people. There's no way Silas can make everyone see the same thing all at once,"

"We might not want to underestimate him like we did with Klaus," I pointed out, and clear agreement showed on their faces. My heart continued aching as I thought about the Originals.

Matt sighed. "Okay, in the meantime, how do we look out for a guy that can appear as anyone?"

Right then, we heard names being called over the mic: "Matt Donovan and Bonnie Bennett." The crowd cheered as a spotlight shined on Matt and Bonnie. They both smiled and slowly made their way to the stage where they both were crowned.

After the prom king and queen had their dance, all the couples started dancing again. Damon and Stefan started to patrol the prom, leaving me there alone.

I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I had never seen anyone look at me the way Elijah had, and I never wanted anyone to look at me like that again. He looked absolutely heartbroken and I didn't even try to console him. I was a shitty person.

"Now, what sane man would leave a beauty as yourself alone?"

I slightly tensed at hearing Klaus' voice from beside me. I turned my head to see he was watching me with admiration. "Can I help you?" I asked as I turned my head back to the crowd of dancing students. A slow song came on and couples moved closer together.

"Dance with me?" He held up his hand so I sighed before excepting it. My night couldn't get any shittier, so why not?

We didn't speak to one another at first, but I finally was too curious. "I thought you were angry with me?" I kept my eyes away from him, Elijah's expression burning into the back of my mind.

"Oh, I was, but I got over it,"

"Niklaus Mikaelson getting over his anger? That's a first,"

"Only for you, love,"

I looked into his blue eyes and had to look away... I looked down and my eyes caught something around his neck. "Your necklace!" I exclaimed as I touched the wolf around his neck on the black chain. "You kept it." It was the one I had given him for Christmas, though I didn't give it to him until much later.

"Of course, it's my most cherished object," He said as I turned it over in both hands. There was one difference on it though... On the back of the wolf, my initials were carved into it.

"Are those―?"

"Your initials, yes,"

"Why did you put my initials on it?" I asked cryptically.

"Because it was given to me by the person I cherish most," I looked up to meet his eyes as he spoke and I felt my breath escape me at how close we were... God, he was so beautiful. Why was he so beautiful?

He stared at me a moment before he begun to lean down to kiss me, but I chickened out at the last moment and jumped back. "Klaus- we- I-" I stopped talking for a second. I couldn't kiss him after what just happened with Elijah. I needed time. "I'm not ready for that... Besides, if you're so horny you can go back to Hayley."

He sighed. "Andy, it meant nothing,"

"I was mourning for your brother and mine when you slept with her!"

"And my life is supposed to stop because you're mourning? You have a right to be jealous?"

"Yes, I do!" I took a step closer towards him. "I think after all we've been through, I do." He stared back at me for a moment without responding. "Why did you sleep with her?" I demanded.

"Because I felt like you were never going to come around, Andy. You didn't want me comforting you, you preferred Elijah to help you. I tried, but you hardly looked at me. And when you did... You looked at me like I was a reminder of death."

I closed my eyes. "You killed Carol Lockwood,"

"I do bad things, Andy. If you can't accept that, then why even bother being around me?" He said and I opened my eyes to look at him. We just stared at each other for a minute before he reached in his pocket. "I have your Christmas present."

I stared at him in surprise. "Christmas present? Klaus, it's spring,"

"I was never able to give it to you," He said before he walked behind me and hung something around my neck. Looking down, I saw it was a simple silver heart... With his initials on the front.

"Klaus... " I sighed as he moved back in front of me.

"Wait," He ordered before he reached down and opened the small heart. It opened to reveal two pictures... One of Kol and one of Jeremy.

I looked up at him with watery eyes. "It's beautiful, Klaus. Thank you,"

"Anything for you," He reminded me before closing the heart and resting it on my chest. He leaned in and kissed me on the cheek.

I swallowed and studied him as he leaned back. He seemed a little tense now, but I didn't understand why. I began to ask why but Rebekah grabbed my arm and pulled me away from him. "What are you doing? What's wrong?" I demanded.

"Your sister," She said. "She's up to something." She yanked me over to a tent and we entered to see April Young unconscious on the ground with a bloodied neck.

"Matt, why did you call- Oh, my god," Rebekah said in shock. I hurried over to her side, my anger at Elena boiling. It took my mind off of the other things that had happened tonight.

"Can you feed her your blood?" Matt asked.

Rebekah looked around nervously. "Can't we just call 911 or something?"

"She's dying. Please help her!"

"I can't. If I heal her with my vampire blood, Elijah won't give me the cure and I won't get to be human," Rebekah explained. I slightly flinched at hearing Elijah's name.

Matt stood and walked over to her. "How is this even a choice right now? You want to be human? Prove it, be good, do the right thing and save her life,"

Rebekah hesitated, reluctantly thinking it over. She looked at me and I nodded to her. That was all the confirmation she needed.

After fixing April up and her waking up, we brought her outside the prom away from the noise. Once she was sitting on a bench, Matt put his jacket over her shoulders then got up and walked over to Rebekah, who looks sad. I stood silently by her side. "Thank you for saving her," Matt said.

Rebekah kept her eyes down. "Elena was right. I should have just stayed home,"

"No one has to know what you did. I won't tell anyone," Matt said. "And I know Andy wouldn't.

Rebekah looked up at him hopefully, a small smile on her face. "You'd really do that for me?"

Matt nodded. "I would. And maybe I was a little harsh earlier. You wouldn't make the worst human,"

Rebekah smiled at him. "Are you offering me a job as a bus boy? You know, I'd look cute in an apron,"

Matt smiled back before glancing back at April. "We'll see. I should probably get April home,"

Rebekah nodded to him. "Okay,"

Matt got April up and they left. I turned to Rebekah and tightly hugged her. "Don't worry, your secret's safe with me," I pulled back with a smile. "Think, you're going to be a human by this time tomorrow."

She smiled back at me and started to respond, but Klaus spoke from behind us before she could. "Dear sweet April Young. Now, there's a girl with a future,"

Rebekah and I turned to face him. "She was dying, and I acted with human decency. You can't get more human than that," Rebekah pointed out.

Klaus moved closer to us, his hands behind his back. "Actually, you can. You can stand idly by as poor April takes her final breath. You can ask, 'Why does this always happen to innocent people? Where do the spirits go? Was there anything I could have done?' That is what it means to be human, sister. You give humanity too much credit,"

Rebekah exhaled in disbelief. "You're gonna tell Elijah?"

Klaus shook his head, his eyes on the ground. "No. No... " He looked up to meet her gaze. "You are."

"Klaus―"

He interrupted me. "You'll tell him that you cheated, that you failed, that you don't deserve the cure,"

"Why is it so hard for you to let me be happy?" Rebekah demanded with tears in her eyes.

"Because your happiness comes at the expense of my sanity, because I refuse to entertain yet another one of your whims, because you are bored and you're looking for a reason to matter. Thankfully I don't have to waste any more breath fighting you on the subject," Klaus began to leave.

"What does that mean?" I demanded.

"Nik, what does that mean?" Rebekah shouted as he moved away from us.

"Call Elijah," I told her, and she did as I said.

He answered on the first ring. "Elijah, I think Nik's up to something," she paused. "I'm still at the prom. Look, don't do anything with the cure until I see you. Something's not right. Elijah? Hello? Elijah, do not take your eyes off that cure." Rebekah froze up and tears fell out of her eyes before she hung up. "Klaus made a deal with Silas... Silas posed as me and got the cure from Elijah."

My jaw dropped. Klaus had went behind my back?

I took Rebekah's hands. "You go home, I'm going to go take this up with Klaus then I will find that cure for you... I promise." She looked unconvinced but walked away nonetheless. I went to my car and sped off towards Klaus' mansion.

When I got there, I found him in a study, reading a letter by the fireplace.

I stormed over to him and just as he looked up at me I punched him. He looked back at me with surprise. "You son of a bitch," I spat, attempting to shove him. "How dare you do that to Rebekah! She didn't deserve it!"

"Andy, Silas was―"

"I don't give a damn, Klaus," I cried, my fists clenching up. "I can't even believe I gave up Elijah for you! I can't believe that I was going to give you another chance!"

Silence filled the air and his expression was unreadable. I started backing away. "And, like always, you found an excuse... I'm finished with you, Klaus. This went too far. I hope it was worth loosing me in the process." I turned around and marched out.

As I walked to the door, I looked up and saw Elijah on the staircase, looking down at me with a sad expression. Looking back I saw Klaus in the doorway, looking at me with the same expression as Elijah.

I turned around and left them for what I feared would be forever.

The End of Chapter LIX

So there it is! Andy chose Klaus but they're not together. So I'm not going to do the back door pilot, but the first chapter of the new story will begin probably episode 2 or 3. Anyways, we've still got three more chapters left plus an epilogue so... For you Elijah fans, I apologize! But Elijah will be getting some lovin' in the sequel even though it won't be from Andy! I really hope every single one of you will stick with the story and read the sequel because there's something really amazing I have planned that all of you may or may not get... There's a hint in this chapter. Anyways, leave a review and say what you thought also leave what you think the sequel should be called - I need ideas! You guys are all awesome and just make my day with your reviews.
