Say Something, I'm Giving Up On You (Kalijah)
A/N: Based on "Say Something, I'm Giving Up On You," since it's perfect for them, considering Elijah technically gave up on her.
Say something
I'm giving up on you...
*Pennsylvania-Daylight*
Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other, as they half talked, half argued.
"Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" he questioned.
"Of course, you're not a means of survival. 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 gentle hand on the side of his face and looked up at him. "I love you." She dropped her hand, when he turned his face away. "You don't believe me."
"I want to, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you?"
He turned around and started to walk away.
"Wait," she said.
"Goodbye, Katherine," he said.
*Pennsylvania-Night*
Elijah was walking down the sidewalk, but stopped when Katherine walked over to him, purse slung over her shoulder.
"Elijah," she said.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"To tell you that you're right. I've ran for so long just to survive...I—I'm starting to believe my own lies. I don't even remember who I was when we first met. And I wanna find out."
"I only hope you can find a way back to yourself one day," he replied.
She took his hand, holding out, and set the vial of the cure in his hand, and closed his hand. She still held onto his hand, though.
She looked at him.
"I want you to trust me, just like I'm trusting you. I'm going to let you decide where we go from here." She let go. "You don't owe me anything."
She turned around and walked away.
I'll be the one
If you want me to
Anywhere
I would've followed you...
*Mikaelson Mansion-Mystic Falls*
It was a dark night, as Katherine looked up at Elijah after he had told her that he was leaving to go help Klaus in New Orleans, technically breaking up with her.
"It's our turn, Elijah. Please," she begged him, trying to get him to stay.
He kissed her on the forehead.
"Goodbye, Katerina."
A moment later, he vanished.

*For Whom The Bell Tolls*
It was a dark night, as Katherine sat on a cement bench in the woods, absolutely devastated that she was dying of old age. Wes Maxfield had given her an x-ray, looked at it, and told her that she was dying of old age. He had given her six months to live. Just when she got a part of her life back, Nadia, something had to happen. She couldn't help but let the tears fall. Killing yourself when you had no one was one story, but dying unwillingly when you had a daughter to connect with after 500 years was a different story.
She picked up her phone, knowing one person who would always come to her rescue and, if need be, comfort her. He was in New Orleans, but she needed him now, more than ever.
As she waited for him to pick up, she hoped he would come to her aid.
"Katerina," he answered.
She couldn't stop her voice from breaking.
"I screwed up. Now I'm human. I'm dying, Elijah. I need your help."
He had never heard her so broken in all the 500 years that he had known her. He never saw her as someone to cry at all, either. She had always been strong, but now she wasn't. He couldn't blame her for breaking down. He hated that she was dying, but he was happy that she was human. Maybe the Katerina he had fallen in love with all those years ago would finally surface. One could only hope.
"I'm busy right now, but I promise that I will come as soon as I have a chance to leave," he replied. He just hoped that it wouldn't be too late by then.
"Thank you," was all she could think to say.
They hung up and she put her phone away.
And I
I'm feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all...
*Fifty Shades of Grayson*
It was a dark night, as she walked down the stairs at the Salvatore boarding house, on the phone with Elijah who had called to say that he was on his way and to ask her how she was doing.
Suddenly, a sharp pain started up her left arm and traveled to the left side of her chest. She put a hand over the left side of her chest. Her phone fell from her hand, as it began to feel as if she couldn't breathe.
"Katerina?" he said, afraid that he was going to be too late.
As he listened with vampire hearing, his hope shattered, as he heard her heart slowing.
A moment later, he heard what sounded like her tumbling down a set of stairs. Then there was silence.
He hung up and raced the rest of the distance to get to her.
And I
Will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl...
*500 Years of Solitude*
Katherine lay in bed that night, weak, knowing that she was going to die sonner rather than later. Despite that, she was happy. Elijah was there and that's all she wanted.
She smiled at him from where he was seated on her bedside.
"Close your eyes, Katerina."
"I want to see you," she protested.
"You will," he assured her.
She closed her eyes and he went inside her head, giving her their happiest moment. It was England 1492 when they had played chase and had had a heart to heart about love.
When her heart and breathing stopped, he came out of her head and kissed her forehead.
Say something
I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere
I would've followed you
Say something
I'm giving up on you
And I
Will swallow my pride
You're the one I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something
I'm giving up on you...
In the end, he lost his Katerina but he realized, just a little too late, that he had been wrong not to stay with her. If she had lived, he would've given her another chance, because Katerina was worth saving, no matter what the cost.
