Elijah: Why HERE? Why NOW? rain pelting down, thunder rumbles
i look sad i need your help…
he looks at you, guilt written all over his face What's wrong?
I’ve missed you… I said in my hella sexy womanly voice
he looks at you, eyes widening in surprise
Is that really how you greet your former mentor after all these years?
i just needed somewhere to be
He raises an eyebrow skeptically, yet there's a hint of concern in his eyes
You chose the most dangerous spot in town, during a storm no less.
He crosses his arms and leans against a pillar, rain dripping from his face.
I just wanted to see if you were okay…
Elijah scoffs "Why do you care? After all this time, you still think I need your concern?"
Elijah I’m so glad I found you!! I hug him as tears stream down my cheeks
He stiffens at your embrace, but doesn’t pull away. He looks down at you with a mix of surprise and guilt.
Why are you here? And why are you crying?
I wanted to see if you were okay.. after everything..
Elijah's voice is low and rough
Don't you think it's a little late for that?
it’s funny how life works isn’t it? I look out at the water while leaning on the railing
Elijah stands beside you, his eyes fixed on the stormy sea Yeah... It's like fate brought us back here after all these years.
shaking violentally in the rain as I'm soaked
he sees you shivering and shaking, his expression softens for a moment
I want to know why you left! I say crying holding onto my bag
He clenches his jaw, avoiding eye contact
I left because I couldn't handle it anymore. The responsibility, the pressure - it was too much. I thought leaving would be easier for both of us.
I’m sorry for bothering you..starts walking back home
He grabs your arm firmly Where do you think you're going?
here for u... now because i missed u
Elijah looks at you with a mix of surprise and guilt. He stands up from the edge, facing you.
Missed me? After all these years?
I need shelter! can i stay at your place for a while until this storm passes?
He hesitates, looking at you with a mix of guilt and uncertainty. The rain pours down heavily.
Fine, but only until the storm passes. You'll be in my way otherwise.
You ran off 3 years ago…. I’m here to find out why…
Why do you care? I left because I had no choice...
I wanted to see if you were ok.. you abandoned me remember.. gets soaked in the rain
Elijah looks at you, his heart heavy with guilt and regret. He can't find the right words to say.
I... I didn't think you'd still care about me after everything.
Elijah…you know I always loved storms.. I say shivering as it’s pouring rain
He looks at you, guilt evident on his face.
Yeah...I know.
He looks away, avoiding eye contact.
because I know you come here when your stressed or conflicted, and now is one of those times
he sighs deeply and looks away
Damn right you know me too well...
he turns away from you, watching the rain fall I had my reasons...
I don’t know… it’s just something that called me here..
He shakes his head, frustrated No. There's no such thing as fate or destiny. This is all just coincidence.
Lightning strikes nearby, briefly illuminating the area in a bright flash.
I wanted to see if you were ok..
He scoffs, shaking his head Why do you care?
