It'd be nice if we could get through a day without having to deal with it. No vampire mother or brother...

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES 1.16

[little-elena]

❝ i didn’t lie to you. i just told the truth in a way that made it easier to swallow. if that’s betrayal, then maybe you never wanted honesty—just comfort. ❞

"What I wanted was my friend Matt." Elena stated, acting as if that were the most obvious thing in the world.

"I don't know what happened but you havent felt like you want to be my friend for a while now. It feels like the air gets sucked out of the room whenever you enter and see that I'm in it."

Sure that might have a lot to do with the fact that he's still hurt Elena broke up with him and then started dating Tom ( @painofhumanity ) when she said she wasn't ready for a relationship after her parents died- but she needs a friend while Tom is in rehab and Matt isn't falling to his knees like usual for her.

"And on that note I think it's bed time."

"Double backwheels are the dad-bods of trucks. Built in love handles."

❝ there are better hills to die on, but i’ve always had a flair for the dramatic, so this one? this one suits me just fine. ❞

"Well if you want to die on a hill who am I to try and talk you out of it. When do you get your academy award for best supporting actress?"

[little-elena]

❝ that’s not the worst thing i’ve ever heard, but it’s definitely in the top ten—and i’ve been to family dinners. ❞

"Well I don't know what else I expected in mystic falls." Elena sighed.

"Between Klaus, the hybrids, and the other rampant supernatural activity I should just- start assuming things are going to go to hell in a handbasket every other day."

[little-elena]

❝ i would love to help you, truly, but i’m currently suffering from a terminal case of 'not my problem' and my doctor says there’s no cure. ❞

"Well the problem here, Elijah, is that if your little girlfriend gets the cure first? She will probably kill your brother with it. So it's in your best interest to make it your problem before she does."

❝ i wouldn’t find the need to tell you ‘i told you so’ if you weren’t so allergic to admitting i’m right—but by all means, keep walking into walls just to prove a point. ❞

❝ there are better hills to die on, but i’ve always had a flair for the dramatic, so this one? this one suits me just fine. ❞

❝ would you come with me? i know i could go alone, but everything feels a little less terrifying when you’re beside me. ❞

❝ that’s not the worst thing i’ve ever heard, but it’s definitely in the top ten—and i’ve been to family dinners. ❞

❝ i would love to help you, truly, but i’m currently suffering from a terminal case of 'not my problem' and my doctor says there’s no cure. ❞

❝ could you, for just one second, think about someone other than yourself? i’m not asking for a miracle—just a moment of humanity. ❞

❝ i’m not going to stand here and argue with you about how badly you need rest. when you crash, don’t expect me to catch you. ❞

❝ would you be a dear and shut the hell up? there’s only so much self-centered rambling a person can survive in one sitting. ❞

❝ i know i need help. i know. but asking for it feels like walking into battle without armor—give me a second to find the words. ❞

❝ do you know where we’re going? or are we just letting the chaos guide us now? ❞

❝ i’m trusting you with this. that’s not something i give away easily, so please—don’t make me regret it. ❞

❝ do you like it here? not the place—the moment. the quiet. me. ❞

❝ are you still happy? and i don’t mean surface-level smiles and small talk. i mean really, truly happy. with me. with this. ❞

❝ i didn’t lie to you. i just told the truth in a way that made it easier to swallow. if that’s betrayal, then maybe you never wanted honesty—just comfort. ❞

❝ do you even like spending time with me anymore? because lately, it feels like all we do is circle the same argument and call it conversation. ❞

❝ one of us is going to have to be honest eventually, and i’m starting to think it’s going to have to be me—again. ❞

❝ i want to tell you something. something real. something raw. but i keep getting caught in the storm of my own hesitation. ❞

❝ if you were the religious type, i think i’d still find a way to make you worship me. or at least remember me in your prayers. ❞

❝ don’t tell me to stop being dramatic. it’s the only thing that makes this unbearable mess of a life remotely entertaining. ❞

❝ were you ever going to tell me, or were you just hoping i’d eventually give up trying to read your mind? ❞

❝ i never needed you to fix me. i just needed you to stay when i was falling apart. but even that was too much, wasn’t it? ❞

❝ sometimes i think you love the version of me that only exists in your head. the quiet one. the easy one. the one who doesn’t talk back. ❞

❝ i’m tired of being the bigger person. it’s lonely up here and the view isn’t even worth it. ❞

❝ you don’t get to disappear and then waltz back in like you didn’t shatter something on your way out. ❞

❝ if you wanted to hurt me, congratulations. you did it with terrifying precision. ❞

❝ it’s not that i don’t care anymore—it’s just that caring has become exhausting. ❞

❝ i don’t know what we are anymore. i don’t know if we ever really knew. ❞

❝ you keep saying everything’s fine like you’re trying to hypnotize me into believing it. ❞

❝ loving you felt like setting myself on fire and pretending it was candlelight. ❞

❝ i keep telling myself it’ll get better, but i’m starting to wonder if that’s just another bedtime story i made up to survive. ❞

❝ you can’t just say ‘i’m sorry’ and expect everything to go back to the way it was. apologies aren’t time machines. ❞

❝ you left. and somehow, i’m still the one who feels guilty. ❞

❝ i didn’t push you away. you just stopped reaching out. there’s a difference. ❞

Like for Elena to raid your inbox <3

[little-elena]

Good morning! Elena loves one (1) Tom Salvatore more than life itself.

@painofhumanity

[little-elena]

A note is left beside it. "Happy Birthday Elena, better run."

And this was supposed to be the first birthday in a while she DIDN'T fall to pieces on.

[little-elena]

She just got her midterm back.

"well. Guess I didn't have it down as well as I thought...."

[little-elena]

jessie and elena first pride together maybe 🙂‍↕️

Jessie and Elena ate pride together DEFINITELY.

It would be Elena's first time going too!!!

She'd be very excited to be out with her first real girlfriend

[little-elena]

jessie squishes her cheeks after the kiss on the lips and gives her a nose kiss instead :] "i couldn't help myself, you just entice me." a pause. "like a siren."

"I was literally just existing after the shower but I'll take it. Should I start singing to really cement your demise at my seductive hands?"

[little-elena]

gives elena a kiss :)

"Couldn't wait till I got dressed after my shower, Jessie?"

She's not actually complaining. Not in the slightest.

[little-elena]

elena, who the fuck is pay my bill

[little-elena]

She let that sink in for a moment before she took a deep breath and exhaled for what seemed like a very long time.

"I don't.... even know what I would have wanted. Like what... would have been the point of telling me? It just would have made me feel like an outsider I think." Elena shrugged.

"And I probably would have grown up with more questions than answers. I think Im just..." She licked her lips and shook her head.

" I think I'm just still shocked that I am, and not sure how to feel. That was my mom and dad... that's how I'll always remember them. So maybe it's better that they didn't tell me. Because I got to grow up believing I was a real part of their family. Which sounds bad, because I know I still am but like... I don't know. I don't feel cast off by Isobel and John. I don't have that 'why didnt my parents want me' feeling because my parents did."

She gave a shrug. "Am I making any sense?" A soft embarrassed chuckle followed her question.

Tyler's smile was bittersweet, remembering the stark difference in their upbringings. "Yeah, it makes sense," he told her in a subdued voice. "You know, I don't really remember my birth parents, so your dad was the first one I actually knew who didn't scare the crap outta me. Bonnie's dad's always been so freaking intense, and Bill Forbes--the guy always made me uncomfortable."

He wasn't good at this kind of thing. He knew how to comfort Caroline, and sometimes Matt, but that was about it. Still. He wanted to be better, so he moved next to Elena and bumped her arm softly with his own.

"If I've learned anything from being with Caroline, it's that you always have a right to feel. . .however you feel," Tyler started slowly, tone making it clear how out of his depth he felt. "I think. . . I think it's okay, to love them, and still be upset about how they handled everything. It doesn't have to be one or the other, Elena."

[little-elena]

Elena stayed still while Amara made her choice. She'd learned that the original gets very overwhelmed very quickly, especially when trying to make a choice. Best thing to do was to stand quietly and patiently. Let her come to it on her own unless she asked.

The doppelganger's face lit up as Amara agreed to the small outing and Elena stepped to the side and gestured to the door.

"Yey! We'll take it at your pace. As slow or fast as you want to, and I have the trail memorized, it's private so there wont be any people on it ok?"

Unlike her counter part, Elena felt the best thing to do was work within Amara's boundaries rather than aggressively try to force her out of them.

cont. from here with @little-elena

          amara's eyes followed the glass as elena set it down and stepped back, a cautious distance amara preferred. the room amara was staying in was dim, shielded. an attempt to not let anything come too close. the world outside felt alien, its clamor and lights a relentless assault on her fragile mind. she’d wanted solitude, a cocoon to shield her from what she’d lost, but elena’s offer stirred something.

         her gaze drifted to the window as amara’s lips parted, a protest forming, then fading. quiet. isolated. away from the town’s chaos, just the two of them. it tugged at her, a whisper of peace she hadn’t felt since a long time. she pressed her hands together, weighing the options and whether she did herself a favor by following elena. "alright", she murmured finally, her voice low and hesitant, rising from her bed. "a walk ... i'll go." her hands clasped in front of her body, her shoulders slightly raised; something skittish in her gaze.
