Legacies Imagines

Let Me Go (Landon)

You and Landon met while in the foster system. You guys had been dating for as long as you could remember. Him and Rafael were your only constants growing up. Going to the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted changes the way you've always seen things. You're also a werewolf

I got up at the crack of ass for the umpteenth time since we started at the Salvatore School. It's was about a week or so in that I started sneaking out of bed in the wee hours of the morning. I didn't want to be there when Landon woke up. I was also sneaking off to see someone I knew I shouldn't be since technically I still had a boyfriend.

I haven't found the right way to break up with him. He's just been my boyfriend for so long I have no idea what it would be like without him. I've tried to break up with him, before even coming here multiple times, we just end up talking and I somehow end up agreeing to stay.

Things are different now though. I've been by Landons side for so long that I haven't given myself the opportunity to really explore and know myself. Since coming here, since triggering my curse, things have been different.

I always believed that what I felt for Landon were real feelings but in reality I think my feelings were just something that developed because he was always there when things were bad. He always wanted to keep me safe even when he didn't have any power to do it. Back when I was just human he was the one I relied on to feel safe.

Coming here, being around people who are all more or less shamelessly themselves, it made me realize I don't have the feelings for Landon the way I've always said they were.

Landon was a constant. A safety net for my bad life in the foster system. He made me feel hopeful for a future together where we wouldn't have to deal with the pain we dealt with again. Where we'd have a family to call our own and we'd make sure they knew how much they were loved. I believed in the beautiful future Landon had painted for us.

That was until I triggered my curse. Raphael and I both did. We were having an exorcism preformed on us when Alaric and Hope saved us taking us back to the school.

I think that's when things really changed for me. Meeting Hope Mikaelson. I felt things with her I have never even felt through years of being with Landon.

That's who I've been sneaking off to see at the crack of ass. My excuse to Landon was alway that we were training. Which I mean, I wasn't 100% lying cause we did meet to train every morning.

I felt guilty that while he thought I was spending more and more time with someone who he thought was just my friend. A best friend even. I was really seeing them romantically. I couldn't really tell you how it started really.

It just kind of happened. Like I said meeting her changed things. When I met her I had just turned for the first time. When Landon learned that Raf and I were both wolves his biggest fear was that I would leave him for Raf but Raf had always been a brother to me.

He'd definitely never expected that his plan of our future would be ruined because I met a girl. How could he? He was my first everything but I know now that he wasn't my first love. Cause first loves are supposed to hurt no matter what the outcome is. Yet all I see is me hurting him. So I might be his first love but he's not mine.

I was out in the woods when arms wrapped around me bringing me out of my thoughts. I turned in Hope's arms and hug her back.

"I thought you weren't going to come..." she whispered against my neck.

"I'm sorry. I was just overthinking things again..." I mumbled in her ear.

"I don't know why you stress yourself like this baby." She shakes her head.
