When Rebekah heard what Elijah said she pushed Kol away from her and ran up to Elijah. She started hitting him while she sobbed loudly. "Why did you do that" she said in-between breaths.
"It was for your good sister. You may not understand now but you will" he said calmly grabbing a hold of her wrists.
"I hate you" she said yanking her arms free from his grasp and started to take a few steps back.
Elijah felt the sting of her words deeply, but he knew he had to do it.
… … … … …
"And you!" she exclaimed "you were going to kill him!"
Nik opened his mouth to respond but was met by his sister's hand slapping him across the face.
"Don't. You. Dare. Talk. To. Me."
And with that she made the – what seemed long – walk back to her front door.
… … … … …
Kol shook his head at his brothers in disapproval.
"I think this could have been handled a lot better" he said angrily. Since when was he the mature one?
… … … … …
Kol caught up with his sister on her way to the front door. He silently walked beside her. After some strides he said, "Bekah…" but before he could even begin to finish what he wanted to say she stopped him.
"Please Kol, not right now" she said barely above a whisper with tears running down her face, and with that she made the rest of the walk alone. He knew not to push her right now.
… … … … …
Once inside her home she ran down the stairs and into the basement and grabbed a couple bottles of liquor before her brothers came into the house. Just as quickly as she had ran downstairs she ran upstairs to her bedroom and locked herself in. Once the door was securely shut behind her she sank to the ground and placed the bottles next to her started to drink her sorrows away.
… … … … …
"Are you out of your minds!" yelled Kol furiously. He was never the one to give lectures; he was the one who usually received them.
"Enough Kol, I don't want to hear nor talk about it" said Nik sinking into the couch.
"We should probably retire for the night, it's been a long eventful evening" said Elijah.
Kol was furious but he knew he would be able to sway his brothers to listen to him, especially with the emotions that were currently running through them. And with that they are parted ways and went to their individual bedrooms.
… … … … …
Kol's bedroom was closest to Rebekah's; while he was lying in bed he could make out the gentle sobs she let escape, he knew Elijah and Nik wouldn't be able to hear her, but he could and he felt horrible, he wanted to comfort her but he knew she wanted to be left alone. He cursed his brothers for doing this to his sister, sure he understood their anger, but Elijah had taken it too far with compelling Kallum.
… … … … …
Rebekah sat on the floor with a tear stained face, she drank all the bottles of liquor before stumbling over to her bed and curling up for the night. "I need to leave" she thought "I can't stay here any longer." And with that she made her mind up, she was going to move out in the morning, and her brothers couldn't do anything to stop her.
… … … … …
Rebekah had awoken at about noon. She tumbled out of bed, she had a major headache, she regretted drinking as much as she did, but it was the only way she knew how to dull the pain. She jumped in the shower, dressed in black head-to-toe: she had her black hat, black jeans, black stilettos, and black shirt with a black cardigan to put it all together, which was appropriate she thought for the occasion, and started to pack as much as she could.
After about thirty minutes she left her bedroom with a suitcase in tow and her purse in hand. She started to make her way down the stairs when she stumbled on a step, maybe she shouldn't have had all that alcohol she thought, but luckily she held onto the rail for support. Once she reached the bottom of the stairs she tried to leave without being noticed, but as usual, was unsuccessful.
… … … … …
"Rebekah, what are you doing?" Elijah said surprised.
"I can't be here anymore" she said while struggling to get her suitcase to cooperate.
Nik heard the commotion from the living room and went to investigate. When he arrived at the scene he was not happy with what he saw.
"Where do you think you are going" Nik said angrily.
Rebekah just looked up at him and said nothing. She finally managed to get her suitcase rolling on it wheels and wordlessly opened the door and walked out, not bothering to look back.
