[ooc: *select family meaning not Damon, Klaus or Caroline this time. Forward dated a bit, posted at just after 3pm Lawrence time]



So things have been difficult lately. Therapy is helping me understand a lot of things, about myself. I'm still figuring a lot of it out though, and I seem to keep coming back to this same point, over and over again. A good man once told me that the reason I don't find love is because I don't deserve it, and deep down, I couldn't disagree with that.

I'm not a good person. It's been suggested around here that I'm faking being one to gain popularity here and that was never my intention. So I figure I should be brutally honest about who and what I am.

I am vicious at times, I can be cruel. I've said in the past that I get my temper from my father and that's true. It's not the impulsive rage that my brothers can show, it's calculated and ruthless. I've killed a lot of people and I don't view human life in the way a human would. Since being here I made a promise to not kill anyone and I've stuck to that, but that doesn't change the way I am, what my nature is. I am stubborn as hell, I rarely forgive wrongs done against me and I never forget. I am very often a bitch to people I dislike.

I guess what it comes down to is I don't know why you guys like me. Maybe you won't any more, now that I've said all that. I don't understand why the brothers who talk to me love me with more than just some family obligation. I don't understand why Stefan married me, why he loves me so much. I don't understand why I have friends. I don't feel like I deserve it. Any of it.

So yeah, therapy is encouraging me to be more open about how I feel so there it is. I don't even know why I'm saying all of it, I guess I just figure that because you're people I care about, you should know that, and know the truth about what I am and all stuff like that. So there it all is.

I haven't known you all that long. But you are the one who so stubbornly insisted we are friends. And despite lengthy conversations about you being stubborn, and a bitch I think it was, I do not see any of what you've just said. I understand a little of what it is like to be so at war with yourself. I doubt that is a secret, at any rate. But I don't like to see it in someone like you.

I do not remember half of what I talked about that day when you were working and I was drinking. I rarely do. But I remember that you listened whilst I drew that ridiculous picture of you and talked what I can only assume was absurde. I am acutely aware that it takes immeasurable patience to put up with me sober, let alone drunk. It has been a long time since anyone has had to do both, and you have.

You made me want to tell you the name of a person I can not even speak about. I do not think I can quite describe the significance of that, or if that will mean anything to you.

It seems even now I can not say what I want without too many words. Enjolras was always the one best at speeches, anyway. But know what I know of you is good. And caring. And infinitely understanding, Rebekah.

We are friends, at least I hope we are. There are a lot of people who would argue that I should be at war with myself. And they might actually be right, I've done a lot of terrible things.

I do remember that night, actually. And the picture was amazing and the talking was good. A little on the rambling side, but entertaining anyway. You're a good guy, Grantaire. It really doesn't take that much patience.

And if you ever do want to talk about her, I'll listen. I know what it's like to lose love, and how hard it is to talk about it.

Thank you. For saying all of that, it was just the right amount of words. Made me a little bit teary, but in a good way.

Family obligation doesn't play into it at all. You're there for me, every single time I need you, even if you're falling apart and can't handle what I'm putting on you, you do it anyway and I can't really put into words what that actually means to me. You've always been the one I can count on, no matter how insane everything else is.

And okay, maybe you're a bitch sometimes and maybe you can be flighty at times, but honestly that's just one piece of who you are, sister. You care so deeply and so much that you fall headfirst into any relationship or friendship you have and that's why you end up hurt the way you do. Because you just care too much. Not about what other people think or say about you, but about people, in general. Or at least the ones in your circle.

I love you, Rebekah, because you're my sister and because you deserve it.

But the time it really mattered, I wasn't there Well, I love you. And I just want you to be happy because you deserve to be. We may fight like crazy sometimes, and you know how to really drive me mad when you want, but I know you'll be there for me, whenever I need. And you're not afraid to tell me when I am being a dumb bitch.

I tried the not caring thing, it didn't really go so well. I just worry that people think I'm faking it here. That I'm doing it to be popular. And I'm not, I'm really not. But considering all the things I've done in the thousand years, do I really deserve all this?

You say you're not forgiving, but that's not true. I really hurt you, and I know I did, but you forgave me. You let me back in your life, tentative as it's been, you still did. You've been a good friend to me. You haven't lied to me. You haven't used me. And that means so much more to me than you can really understand.

Well, you're a good person, and as much as it did hurt, I do understand why you did what you did. I know you've been screwed over so much in your life, I do promise you, I will never lie to you. I will never use you. You're a sweet person and you had no reason to give me a chance when you got here, but you did anyway.

You're going through a lot. Way more than I even pretend to know about. But you don't have to go through it alone, you know? You have so many people that care about you and can I just say I'm proud of you for actually leaning on us right now? Because that takes so much, I know it does. I'm the guy that goes out of his way to do anything and everything for anyone I ever meet, while I kind of tend to put my own stuff off. It's what Stiles and Lydia and Allison are there for. To remind me I have to let them help me sometimes. Stiles does it, too. He belittles his own issues all the time and I think maybe it's just human (and non-human) nature to do that. To put other people before yourself. And I think that's what you do. I think that's why you end up feeling so weighted down with everything because you take on everyone else's stuff and forget to focus on your own. Obviously, that's changed. Therapy and all. You're kind of realizing that you have to focus on you sometimes too.

But in the end, you helped me when you didn't have to. You had no reason, no obligation, to listen to some teenager whine or to help me with the nightmares. But you did. Some raging lunatic bitch like you see yourself as wouldn't have done that. You didn't get anything out of it. You just did it because you wanted to. Because I asked for help. And that doesn't spell ruthless bitch, if you ask me.

Thanks, Scott. It does feel weird, talking about myself and being open about things, and I keep wanting to deflect it or something. And you know, I will add to that list of people who remind you to let yourself be helped sometimes. You're one of the good guys and that is oh so rare in life. Maybe it is a 'human' thing to do, to avoid our own issues.

How are the nightmares anyway? Are they getting any easier? Do you want me to do any more dream work? Your mom is kind of an impressive badass, by the way. I liked her a lot.

I haven't seen you be a bad person, Rebekah. Maybe a little intense or emotional and, okay, I'll admit, dramatic sometimes but I think it's cause you feel differently than humans do, so that factors in too and so maybe it's not dramatic at all for what you feel and how deeply.

But really, I have no reason not to adore you. But I adore your entire family, for different reasons. I've pretty much adopted you guys, much to my dad's dismay. Oops?

You're a fun person to be around and maybe you've done a lot of screwed up things in the past, buuuut lbh, 90% of the displaced have done really screwed up things in the past, right? And that's the whole second chance thing, you're supposed to be able to prove you can be better than you were. And I think you have.

I know I can be intense and dramatic, I always have been a bit like that, even when I was human.

I'm still not sure how your dad let you get away with all that! Though really, you are one of the most open minded people I have ever met. Not many people would see a family of ancient vampires and go hey, let's befriend them.

I just wonder if I've done too much screwed up things in the past. You're an amazing person and yet you like me, even with all my amazing screw ups.

Okay, wow. I have to admit, I'm kinda surprised I can see this and I'll admit I'm not entirely sure which side of this I fall into, but...thanks.

Rebekah Salvatore, you and I have had nothing if not a complicated mess of a relationship. I've been the bane of your entire family's existence for centuries. And yet somehow, here, we have some weird mutual respect thing going on that I don't think either of us can probably even put into words. The only explanation I can even have for it is the ever-useful phrase we all run around spouting off: Only in Lawrence.

I can't say we're family, I can't exactly say we're friends, but what I can say is I respect you. I know you've been through more than I can imagine, you know I've been through things you can't quite fathom. You may be a ruthless, calculating bitch, but so am I. And if I can pull off some kind of change, so the hell can you. You and I have one thing in common: We're survivors. We push through, no matter how low we get. So pull up your bootstraps, honey, because you've got this.

You're sort of family. You and Elijah are engaged and that means you'll be my sister in law.

It's definitely a weird mutual respect thing we have. Because really, if it hadn't been my family you were screwing over, I'd have been really impressed by your skills. You're smart and tough and you've been through some serious shit in your life. Look, I'm not going to get involved in the whole Henrik and Hope side of things, but for what it's worth? I don't think you'd hurt either of them. You lost a child. I think that must be one of the greatest pains to ever suffer. And I think even the Great Survivor Katerina Petrova has her limits and hurting kids is that limit.

Same as I don't hurt kids.

We're kind of more alike than a lot of people realize.

Seriously?

Rebekah, you're not perfect. If you were, you wouldn't be my friend. That would be asking too much. But you are a good person and I'm tired of the implications that you're not. Have you always been? No. But you're working to be a different woman here and that's okay.

I don't know. Maybe it's me, but I feel like everyone deserves love. In some form. And you have it and you had best hold on to it. You have a husband who loves you, brothers who adore you, and friends who have made you one of their own. So don't you think about giving up on any of that. You have worked so hard to be a better person. Hold on to that. And know there's so many of us here if you need us.

Yeah?

I don't think I'd want to be perfect, I think that would be weird. I don't think anyone should want that. I just really want you guys to know that I'm not faking this, I'm not playing you or pretending to have changed or playing at being nice or any of the other stuff that's been suggested over the past year.

I definitely know how lucky I am, to have all of you guys supporting me, and my family and Stefan, who has been truly incredible. It just baffles me how I have been so lucky.

Do I really need to say it? After 200 years of feeling the same way about you. Do you really want me to say it again? That, in the 200 years of knowing you. I made more mistakes in our relationship than you did.

Yes, you can be cruel and ruthless, so can I. But, it's usually a means to and end. Besides, someone who wasn't worth anything wouldn't have been helping look after the sick, because the humans needed the help.

You care, like we all do. But, we can't afford to care about everyone. Because we care more than humans. Deeper than them. So, we're selective about who we care about. Makes things easier. Not caring about the other's is easier. Otherwise we'd turn it off more, you especially, since you don;t have the option of walking into the sun if you can't stand immortality anymore.

We both made a lot of mistakes in our relationship, and there are so many things we should have done differently. Or, then again, making those mistakes brought us to who we are now. So there's that.

It's true, I don't like being cruel for the sake of it. When I lash out at someone, it's calculated. Because they hurt me. But maybe the reason for the cruelty isn't the point, maybe the fact I am cruel is the point? Though yeah, I did help at the hospital.

I turned it off once. After the Cage. I was horrendous. I never want to be that person again, but sometimes it gets so overwhelming to deal with.

Rebekah Mikaelson Salvatore. Of course you're not perfect, but that is what I love about you.

You are the little girl who I held in my arms after you were born. The little girl who would follow Finn, Klaus, Kol and I because you wanted to climb trees with us. The young woman come came to me in tears after a boy in the village broke her heart. The first, and only girl who I broke my hand for when punching said boy in the face. You are my sister and that is why I like you.

I love you because you're the only sibling really willing to give Katherine a chance, the first to realize your happiness comes before this pact we made together. Because you still get up every single day and try and put one foot in front of the other as you deal with your issues. You are fiercely loyal to those you love. What more does one need to love someone as special as you?

I would so never claim to be perfect. No one is.

You taught me how to climb trees. And how to practice with swords. And I remember bandaging up your hand after that very impressive punch and his nose came off worse.

Elijah, as long as you're happy, I'll accept Katherine. And I think if it wasn't for the history between us, we would be friends, because she's sort of a badass. You have spent centuries putting your life on hold when we've needed you, it's your time to be happy. I may not entirely get why her, but you love her and that's enough for me.

I love you, big brother.

While the sibling appreciation is going on, here... I want to thank you, Elijah, for being completely, bat shit insanely incessant in your pursuit of gluing this family back together, despite every best effort we've made to ensure the impossibility of it. For being there when I ask you to be and for watching stupid movies I know you hate for the sake of making the time to spend with me. Because I may be over 1000 years old but you're my big brother and even if I don't always show it, I'm always going to look up to you.

I'm going to leave this public (to your filter) because I have absolutely nothing to hide and, no offense to anyone other than my wife reading this, I could not care less about anyone's opinion of me.

Yes. You can be/are all of those things. Denying it would be an exercise in futility and I don't think that's particularly useful at this juncture, but those things are not all you are.

Those things are not all Rebekah Mikaelson Salvatore is.

She is also an incredibly dedicated sister who would move the heavens and earth for her brothers, even when they don't deserve it. Maybe especially then.

She is also a kind and dedicated friend.

She is also, when you get her at the right time and aren't pissing her off, the most sweet-tempered person I have ever known. Especially in the morning, just as she's waking up, before the desire for coffee grabs her brain and makes her growl.

She is also impetuous, but in a good way. She wants the people she loves to be happy and, when they let her, she will do silly things to make them laugh.

(Any brothers who are reading this may want to check out now.)

She is also the single most sensual, sexual being I have ever known and it translates throughout her entire person- from the way she styles her hair, to the clothes she wears, to the scent and taste of her skin when it's damp with sweat.

(And brothers can come back now.)

Her capacity to offer forgiveness to those who don't deserve it is incredible. It is literally mind blowing, because I know I don't deserve it, I've never deserved it, but that doesn't keep me from wanting it and it doesn't keep her from offering it every single day.

And her love? The love she gives freely with that enormous heart of hers? It keeps me sane. It keeps me grounded. It keeps me from tearing through this town and all the people in it. Your brother may think he's the biggest swinging dick in town, but that elephant in the room is bullshit and we all know it. He's never slaughtered like I have, he couldn't do it if he tried, which is exactly while he needed me. My Panda's love is the barrier that keeps everyone in Lawrence- Hell, everyone in Kansas- safe from me, because I barely held on when she was in that Cage and if anything ever happened to her again, I don't think I could do it another time.

But even these things are not all that you are, Bekah. You are so much more complex, in good and bad ways. But all those facets are why I love you. And that is the real truth here.

There's a reason I actually claim you as family, you know. This, everything you are for her, everything you've done for her. Thank you.

Also thank you for signaling when I should check out of that conversation. Just an added bonus point there.

Like Rose said, you're not perfect, and maybe you've done some shitty things in the past. And of course you're dramatic. I think at least 90% of the people the Seal sends here are. But you're trying and you want to do things differently. I think that's what matters most.

So keep doing what you're doing.

So I'm late to the party, but, what's not to love about you? You're like you're family, but you aren't. You're fiercely loyal and protective, but you're also someone who gave me a chance--even before Kol was willing to. You were willing to look past my exaggerated 'sins' and get to know me. And when I had to leave my house because I couldn't stand to look at them being happy together, or know that he had shared that bed with me...you stepped up.

You are a good friend and I will always have your back.
