I Don't Deserve You (Kalijah)


*Dead Man On Campus*



You're the first face that I see

And the last thing I think about

You're the reason that I'm alive

You're what I can't live without

You're what I can't live without

And you never give up

When I'm falling apart

Your arms are always open wide

And you're quick to forgive

When I make a mistake

You love me in the blink of an eye



        It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood on the clock tower, facing the clock, ready to commit suicide, so she didn't have to live through the pain of dying of old age. She was ready to die, unlike the first time she'd been human. 

        She closed her eyes and stepped off, not knowing that Elijah was coming back for her. 

        When he saw her falling from the clock tower, he blurred over and caught her from hitting the sidewalk. 

        When she felt herself be caught, she was curious as to who, out of all people who hated her, had stopped her from killing herself, so she opened her eyes, only to see Elijah. He was back, which was a surprise to her. 

        He set her on her feet and looked at her. 

        "Katerina," he greeted, not needing to ask her why she'd tried to kill herself. He knew that she was dying of old age, and knew that she was bound to try and kill herself. He knew it was because she didn't want to be in pain. He understood that and her. He'd known her for 500 years, and no matter what, loved her unconditionally, even though he'd left her to help Klaus in New Orleans six months ago. 

        "What are you doing here, Elijah?" she questioned, acting as if she didn't want him to be back.

        "I came to help you. I heard what happened," he replied. "Just because I left, doesn't mean I don't care about or love you."

        She was silent at that. She couldn't deny that she liked what he'd said, because she still loved him, too. 

        She put gentle hands around his neck and gave a smile. 

        "I love you, too," she replied, before they kissed. 



*American Gothic*



I don't deserve your love

But you give it to me anyway

Can't get enough

You're everything I need

And when I walk away

You take off running and come right after me

It's what you do

And I don't deserve you



        It was a beautiful day in an alleyway after they'd argued and he had started to leave, as Katherine walked up behind him and put a hand on his arm, stopping him. 

        "Wait."

        He stopped and looked at her, before looking at her hand on his arm. 

        She took her hand off and he looked at her again, before saying, "Goodbye, Katherine." Then he left, leaving her standing there alone.





        That night, she walked up to him on the street, stopping him from going any further, when she stood in front of him.

        "What do you want?" he asked, as if he wasn't interested in what she had to say.

        "To tell you that you're right. I've spent so much time running and lying just to survive, I don't—I'm starting to believe my own lies. I don't even remember who I was when we first met. And I want to find out." She took a black box out of her purse. 

        "You have the cure," he stated. 

        "Yes. And I can shove this down Klaus' throat and try to kill him, but even if I managed to do it, I'd lose you. And I don't want that to happen." She took his hand, palm up, and set it in his hand, before closing his hand. She still held his hand, though. "I need you to trust me. I want you to trust me. Just like I'm trusting you." She let go of his hand and adjusted her purse that was slung over her shoulder. "You don't owe me anything. I'm going to let you decide where we go from here."

        He watched silently, as she walked away, before looking down at the cure for vampirism in his hand.



*Fifty Shades of Grayson*



You're the light inside my eyes

Give me a reason to keep trying

Give me more than I could dream

And you bring me to my knees

You bring me to my knees

Your heart is gold and how am I the one

That you've chosen to love?



        It was a dismal night, as Katherine walked down the stairs with a duffel bag and her purse, talking on the phone, letting Elijah know that she had decided to try and find a way to be saved. At first, because everyone in town hated her, she had wanted to just wait to die. Since Elijah had expressed how much he loved her and didn't want to lose her though, she had changed her mind. 



*Graduation*



I still can't believe that you're right next to me

After all that I've done

I don't deserve your love

But you give it to me anyway

Can't get enough

You're everything I need

And when I walk away

You take off running and come right after me

It's what you do

And I don't deserve you



        It was a dark night, as Katherine ambushed Elena in the school hallway, throwing her against a set of lockers. 

        "Happy graduation, cupcake."

        Elena got up and through a locker door at her, but Katherine avoided it and grabbed the wooden part of an abandoned mop in the hallway, breaking the wood part in half. She approached and started hitting her every few minutes on the back with it, as Elena started to crawl away from her. 

        When Elena was on her back and Katherine was digging into her neck with the wooden stick from the mop, Elena thought fast, not wanting to die. 

        As Katherine pulled the stick out and was about to strike towards her heart and said, "Bye, bye, little girl," Elena shoved the cure down her throat, which made her black out and become human.

        "Have a nice human life, Katherine," she said. 



*500 Years Of Solitude*



You're the first face that I see

And the last thing I think about

You're the reason that I'm alive

You're what I can't live without

You're what I can't live without

And you never give up



        It was a beautiful day, as she lay in bed, dying of old age, hair gray, and wrinkles showing. As she lay there, Elijah came in and sat on her bedside to be with her in her last moments, just in case the witch he'd assigned to save her life didn't succeed. No matter what, he wasn't going to leave her side. He wouldn't let her die alone. 

        She gave a smile, as he sat down on her bedside. 

        He smiled back, although it hurt him to see her like this.



*Gone Girl*



When I'm falling apart

Your arms are always open wide

And you're quick to forgive

When I make a mistake

You love me in the blink of an eye

I don't deserve your love

But you give it to me anyway

Can't get enough

You're everything I need

And when I walk away

You take off running and come right after me

It's what you do

And I don't deserve you



        After Elijah's witch had succeeded in saving her life, Nadia told her at a restaurant one day that Tyler had bitten her. Nadia knew that Klaus' blood was the cure and Katherine wanted to save her, but was afraid of what Klaus would say when she asked. Because Nadia knew how much her mother had suffered because of Klaus, she didn't want the cure. All she wanted was for her mother to be happy.

        In the end, Katherine had to watch her long-lost daughter die and desiccate from the bite. It broke her heart into a million pieces. 

        As she fell to her knees by the couch in overwhelming grief and cried, Elijah came up behind her to kneel by her. When he did, she put her arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder, accepting what comfort he could give her. 

        He put arms around her in comfort, silent, letting her cry, not having anything to say. There was nothing to say that would make her feel better. He knew only time would heal.
