Prompt: #79-Betrayal
Summary: Elena's turmoil while waiting for Caroline to give her speech on Founder's Day
Notes:
Judas
For a while, Elena had thought it was exhaustion or stress that clouded her mind. She had assumed that she was, quite simply, terrified of what would happen the minute Caroline got up to give her speech. But as she watched the beads on Caroline’s bag throw off sunlight like a disco ball- saw the silly, selfish way Caroline pandered to the audience behind the other speakers’ backs, she realized the true nature of her feelings with a vicious pain in her gut. It wasn’t terror affecting her; it was the slow burning of Caroline’s knife twisting in her back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I could never be like you
Never do the things you do
Selfish and lonely, what's your problem?
Letting go of you and this
Is harder than I thought
But I will not be poisoned by your actions
Forgetting me, you took things in your hands
And left me out
After we'd been through so much
How could you let me down?
