Nobody said it was gonna be easy
But when I forgive
There are no strings attached
I was not gonna bring up your flaws in an argument
Not gonna risk on a counter-attack
When you first revealed your betrayal
My first reaction was “How dare you rob me of my trust?”
But not even this would be able to shake our foundation
‘Cause it was created by us
I can still see you
Front row point of view
We spent our entire relationship fighting each other
Our goals were exactly the same

She and Elijah stood in front of each other in a Pennsylvania alley, arguing.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused and asked her.
“Of course not. You looked out for me when I had no one. You’ve given me a second chance now, when no one else will.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “I love you. Elijah.” When he turned his face away, she dropped her hand. “You don’t believe me.”
He looked at her.
“I want to. It’s my disease. I keep wanting to believe you, but how can I, when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you. I don’t know you. I don’t think I ever will.” He walked away from her.
She stood there for a minute and watched him walk away, before catching up with him and putting a hand on his arm.
“Wait.”
He stopped and looked at her hand on his arm, then her, then her hand again.
She got the hint and let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine,” he said, saying her name that she now went by these days, instead of her human name.
She watched, as he left.

I put you through hell by demanding apologies
Even though I was the one causing pain
With your little mishap
The ball was in my court to prove I could be the stronger one of us
By taking over the role you so elegantly played those years
When I needed a rock
I can still see you
Front row point of view
It hurts
But I’m not about to give you up
Though broken
My heart still beats
It will not stop, stop

Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other at the Mikaelson place in Mystic Falls. Elijah had just told her in little words, as usual, that he was leaving to follow Klaus. That’s what he always did. He always chose to follow Klaus over her.
“It’s our turn, Elijah. Please,” she pleaded with him.
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
“Katerina.” He closed his eyes and kissed her on the forehead. Then he was gone.
After he was gone, she was left with both anger and a broken heart, yet again. This time, she thought it was partly Elena’s fault for him choosing to leave her, so she left the house and picked a fight with her, only to get the cure shoved down her throat.

It hurts
But I’m not about to give you up
Though broken
My heart still beats
It will not stop, stop
It hurts
But I’m not about to give you up
Though broken
My heart still beats
It will not stop, stop
It hurts
But I’m not about to give you up
Though broken
My heart still beats
It will not stop, stop
It hurts
But I’m not about to give you up
Though broken
My heart still beats
It will not stop, stop

It was a nebulous night, as a human Katherine sat in the driver’s seat of the car that she’d stolen back in Mystic Falls, injured after crashing the car into a streetlight pole. She’d left Mystic Falls after turning human and had gone to New Orleans. She’d wanted to get to Elijah and ask him for protection. She didn’t know if she and Elijah would ever get back together, but that didn’t really matter.
As she sat there, injured, she could feel blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass protruding from her lower stomach, and a shard of glass in her thigh. She knew that she’d lost a lot of blood, so she knew that the shard of glass protruding from her thigh had opened up an artery. Although she’d lost a lot of blood, she was able to open the door and stagger out of the car. She used the side of the car to help her along, before she landed on the ground on her side.
Elijah was on his way home, when he stopped in a desolate area of the Quarter. It was late, so there wasn’t anyone there. He could smell the mixed scents of Katerina, blood, and human. Last time he’d seen her, she’d been a vampire still, but smelling the scent of human, he realized that she was human. He knew only one thing that could make a vampire human, which made him assume that someone had shoved the cure down her throat. He’d never wish anything to happen to her, so he followed the scent trail, only to find the crashed car and Katerina not far from it, injured, clearly human, and glass shattered around her and the outside of the car.
He blurred to her side and gently pulled her into his arms.
“If you can hear me, stay with me, Katerina,” he pleaded. Then he got to his feet with her in his arms.
Once at the compound, he layed her gently down on a table. Freya was already in the room, so he didn’t have to call her. He had her heal her once the shards of glass were out of her. Then he gently layed her down in his bed and waited for her to wake up.
When she woke up, she saw that she was in Elijah’s bed, healed, and he was seated on her bedside. She realized that he’d gotten to her in time to save her.
She gave a smile, glad he’d gotten there in time to save her life. Then, after a little conversation, he promised to protect her and, a few weeks later, they got back together. So, they got their happy ending, after all.
