Alec's P.O.V

It had been days.

Weeks.

Months.

Not a word from her.

She's in a different world.

The first few weeks and month I called her, send text messages non-stop but then I gave up because she didn't answer.

I can't fucking understand why.

All I need is closure. If she doesn't want to be with me again, that's fine. I just need to know why!

The anger and sadness that I felt inside overwhelmed me to the point of fighting and getting into trouble everyday.

But you know what they say?

What they whisper about?

What they spread rumours about?

Typical bad boy.

Typical guy who supposedly shot his father.

Typical heartbreaker.

And so the list goes on but the fuck do they know?

Sighing, I slumped down feeling utter dispair. I turned on the radio just to hear the song that reminded me of her. It hurts but I just sat there, soaking in the words.

"You're a world away
Somewhere in the crowd
In a foreign place
Are you happy now?
There's nothing left to say
So I shut my mouth
So won't you tell me, babe
Are you happy now?

You're the only one who can up and run
Leave me just as empty as the day you came
And you hold all the cards, all the broken hearts
Strung over your shoulder till it's all in vain

And only you know the strength of your teeth
The wash in the weight of your pockets, so deep
And lonely

You're a world away---"

Couldn't take it no more I shut it off.

"Are you happy now?", I whispered ever so slightly as a tear rolled down my cheek.

Why did you do this to me Clarissa?

Why?

I was already broken before I met you.

Now I'm afraid that I can't put the pieces back together if you're not here.

I'm afraid that no one can play with the fire dancing in my eyes.

I'm afraid that no one will understand me like you do.

I'm afraid that you're the only one for me.

I'm afraid that only you can handle the dominant side of me, the monsterous side of me, the darkness that lays inside if me.

I'm afraid that only you can fill the void in my chest.

These fears kept haunting me and all I can do is RUN RUN RUN from them.

Clarissa's P.O.V

Days passed by.

Weeks passed by.

Months passed by.

Where we were in different worlds.

I wanted to call him, see him and kiss the heck out of him but I-- just can't get him killed.

And everyday was just the same as the one before. I wallow in self pity, pop pills, stay in my room, video chat Miranda to pass the day.

"Come on honey! You need to get out of that filthy room, here's a list of groceries that you need to buy!", She said making me groan.

"Mooommm!----"

"No no no, don't make me feel guilty again and allow you to slowly die in this suffocating room!", She scolded.

You see where I get the dramatic trait from?

"Fine!", I said giving up, shooting daggers at her. Hesitantly getting up, I made myself look presentable and drove to the mini mart couple blocks from here.

Unknown P.O.V

I was looking for the unhealthy section. If you know what I mean!
Chocolates, Ice Cream, Snacks, yeah you get the gist. I turned my wheel cart around the corner to see the unhealthy section.

"Aah My favorite part", I smiled contently.

"That makes both of us", A girl voice said cheerfully behind me. I whipped my head around to see a beautiful girl behind me with lots and I mean lots of unhealthy food already in her cart.

"Hello, I'm Zack", I introduced politely. Her lips slightly tilted up as she said tiredly, "Hello, I'm Clarissa."

"Well Clarissa, you have a awful lot of unhealthy food in there. You okay?", I teased but getting serious.

"Yes I'm okay, just having a bad day that's all", She smiled, sighing.

"See you around", She says quickly, walking away before I could get out another word.

Clarissa's P.O.V

I placed the things in the trunk of the car and head home. I turned on the radio and heard "Mine" by bazzi blaring through the speakers.

"You so fuckin' precious when you smile
Hit it from the back and drive you wild
Girl, I lose myself up in those eyes
I just had to let you know you're mine

Hands on your body, I don't wanna waste no time
Feels like forever even if forever's tonight
Just lay with me, waste this night away with me
You're mine, I can't look away, I just gotta say

I'm so fucking happy you're alive
Swear to God, I'm down if you're down all you gotta say is right
Girl anything I can do just to make you feel alright
Oh, I just had to let you know you're fine
Running circles 'round my mind
Even when it's rainy all you ever do is shine
You on fire, you a star just like Mariah
Man this feel incredible, I'll turn you into a bride, you're mine

Hands on your body, I don't wanna waste no time
Feels like forever even if forever's tonight
Just lay with me, waste this night away-----"

I quickly turned off the radio as I realized that tears were blurring my vision. It reminds me too much of you.

I can't take it.

Only after I wiped my tears I saw a black mercades right behind me in the rearview of the mirror. I turned the corner to where my house was just to see it turn at the same time.

Odd.

Is he following me?

I stopped the car and got out of it. "Hey! Why are you following me?", I demanded, but then I saw the same guy from the mini mart getting out if the car, Zack was it? Yes.

"Uh---sorry?I live right there", He asked, confusion written all over his face.

"Uh---Uh----Ooooohhh", I said as the realization dawned on me.

Feeling the heat creeping up my cheeks, I just ran into the car and sped away.

I got out of the car and was about to open the door when my mom opened it for me.

"Zack?", Her mouth parting out in shock, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Jane?", His face turned into a mixture of pure sadness and anger. He dashed into the neighbouring house not saying a word.

"What is going on mother?", I said in a 'don't fucking lie to me again' face.

"Come, let me explain", She said sighing, ushering me inside.

"Zack is your twin brother."

Speechless.

Utterly speechless.

What?!

When?!

Where?!

How?!

"Tell me that you're joking mom", I whispered feeling a swirl of emotion bursting through me.

"I'm not, when you both were born, it was the happiest day of my life, your dad too. As you know, you're father was the gang leader, he had alot of enemies", she stopped, sighing.

"What happened mom!", I demanded, I can't believe what I'm hearing right now.

"Your dad borrowed alot of money from someone and he never returned it, so on that day when you and your brother was born, that someone wanted revenge. He took---- Zack away from me, I---- I---- my heart", She gasps, gripping onto the table, tears flowling freely out of her eyes.

I hugged her despite of the anger I felt, she's suffereing because of what happened. I can't even begin to imagine, my heart ached for her and Zack.

"Wait....It doesn't make sense, how can he recognize you? He was just a baby when he last saw you", Confusion written all over my face.

"That's because we met after that", She admitted making me confuse alot more.

"Mr Mikaelson", She said so lowly that I could hardly hear but I heard. I gripped onto the table, feeling the anger overwhelming me. That Fucking bastard, he had cause so much fucking pain on my family!

"He made us meet 3 years ago when his men killed your father, I thought that he was going to return Zack to me because he felt guilty. I should've known better. He made us hang out for the day and I thought, Huh, Mr Mikaelson had a heart. Until that fucking bastard never let me saw him again and feed Zack with pure lies! About how I didn't want Zack in my life etc. He never let me see him again, Clarissa", She broke down sobbing.

"And now Zack hates me because of it, I saw it in his eyes. This is the reason Clarissa! Why Mr Mikaelson would want us to move to this specific place! He wants to torture me, I can--- I can't do this Clarissa. It hurts--- so much but I don't want to go back", She cried continuously.

"Why?", I asked in confusion as tears flowed down my face.

"Because he will destroy the one thing you hold dear to your heart, he will kill the one person you love and I will never let that happen", She said seriously and my heart broke at every word she said because I know that it was true.

"We'll get through this together mom, you, me, Caroline and Clarissa", I said, entwining our hands.

This too shall pass.

Ha, I fucking hope.

Because this is too heart wrenching.
