A tear slipped from Kelsey's sky blue eyes, her lip trembling slightly as he continued to raise his voice. They had been arguing more and more in recent times; they argued about anything and everything.

Alaric's face softened when he saw her crying, and he slowly made his way towards her, wrapping his muscular arms around her small body.

"I'm sorry, Kels," he apologised quietly. "I didn't mean to yell."

"I know," she pushed him off of her, standing up with a sigh. "I think I just need to clear my head for a bit."

Kelsey grabbed her coat from the rack by the door and exited his small apartment, making her way down the empty streets of Mystic Falls.

Her mind was clouded with thoughts of everything that could've been, everything that had been, and everything that was yet to come. She thought about Alaric and ways they could fix their relationship.

Kelsey was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice the car heading towards her at full speed.
