The Vampire Diaries

[Phoenix]

"Telling your brother you're done with him is horrible Mal. Just because you and Violet are currently in the middle of an argument doesn't mean you have to take it out on a thirteen year old boy." Finn shook his head. "I've not once been disappointed in you but you saying that has made me come very close. Fair enough talking to your sister but your brother, who has done nothing wrong?" he sighed. "Cameron said you're upset I asked you to stay away for a couple of days. I did that more for your sake than anyone else's. I knew that if she stayed here you'd both argue and it'd upset you, and you practically live at your girlfriends now anyway, so why does it make a difference that I asked you to stay there? I wanted those days to convince her to make amends with you. Even though she's still upset about you lying to her - and despite you saying you never laughed about her, you've never once told her that to her face, or apologised, remember that - I'd convinced her to try and make amends with you. She was going to apologise to you for leaving before she went to the hotel. She was coming to apologise, and now you've just shouted at her. And how could you tell her you thought she'd kill you? You really think that little of your own family?" he just sighed then.

--

Tatia sighed with a nod at that.

--

"I'll be back later, mm?" Vanessa said as she walked out with Holly.

[SpiritWolfe]

Trinity: frowned a bit at Matteo's reaction but let him be simply going about looking around the room then

[BestNameEva]

"Before you showed up she had her hand shoved through my chest and gripping my heart, almost tearing it out whenever I took a step out of line, expressed my opinon and it didnt match up to hers; it's true I was scared she'd kill me back then." Malvolio replied calmly, "I don't practically live with Trin, I stay at hers like three nights a week out of seven so I'm more at home actually. You basically kicked me out, dad, face it - your precious Violet comes home and your so scared she'll leave again you throw me out - she hated you too, I never did…" he hesitated before muttering, "I tried to think of you as my hero, like you're suppose to be and…" he shook his head, "In about two weeks I'm moving in fully with Trin, I'll move in with her even sooner if you want me gone quicker."

----
Klaus frowned at her sigh.

----
"See you soon,"

[Phoenix]

"I didn't kick you out. I even told you not to take it the wrong way. I was using that time to benefit you Mal, I thought you wanted Violet back, I was working her round, even guilting her into apologising to you, into trying to fix things. I didn't realise I was wrong and you're happy without her... I'll just send her away then, since that'll make you happy? Since I'm not allowed to be happy about my daughter coming home. You've always meant the world to me, you know you have, I love all three of you equally, as I always have and always will, but since you're done with me then I'm done with you Mal. If you suddenly don't need me anymore then that's your choice to cut yourself off from the family for a girl. I'm sorry I disappointed you in terms of being a hero and I genuinely hope you're happy son, I really do." Finn said sincerely, before heading past his son and calling Cameron after him.

--

Tatia took her plate to the sink once she'd finished, washing up.

--

"You too!" Vanessa called behind her. She returned around a half an hour later, closing the door and looking round for him.

[BestNameEva]

Cameron jogged to his fathers side quietly.

"I didn't mean it…" Malvolio whispered, "You told me to leave so there'd be no aggro as if it's my fault she argues, you never told me any of that. Do want her back but only if she stays back and doesn't throw a mood over me and Trin. You hurt my feelings and I feel like no matter what I do I just can't win. You're my hero dad, I never got on with the man who raised me - not really, Viol did but I didn't. You hurt my feelings… please don't be done with me. I'm sorry… I do need you, dad."

---
Leon was sat in the livingroom, just waiting for her boredly. 

----
Klaus done the same with his.

[SpiritWolfe]

Trinity: leaned against the wall biting her lip wanting so badly to go to Malvolio side when she heard how upset he was getting but she didnt move remembering that he didnt want her right now

Matteo: was mumbling under his breath

[Phoenix]

"You think that having Cameron come and tell me that you're done with all of us doesn't hurt my feelings either Mal?" Finn said as he turned back around. "I'm sorry that I'm not the hero you wanted me to be, I'm sorry that I'm a disappointment to you, and I'm sorry that you feel like you're done with me. All I ever want is for you kids to be happy, and I tried to sort it out so you could both be around each other, but you just had to shout in your sisters face before any of that could happen, ad now she's probably off on some plane somewhere and we're back to square one. Me being upset that I've lost one of my children, and you assuming I blame you for it. You say you can't win but neither can I! You can't just expect Violet to be happy about you and Trinity. I'm not saying she's right in what she's doing, running off all the time but you wouldn't be happy if you were in her situation and you saw things the way she did. You both see things differently. She see's it as someone's come along and she's no longer good enough for her brother, the only person she's ever had." he shook his head and sighed. "I don't know how to make you happy Mal. Violet isn't here and you're unhappy because you think I blame you for her leaving, she's here and you're unhappy, all I've tried to do is make the both of you happy and now you're done with me," he gave a humorless laugh.

--

"M'back." Vanessa said, leaning against the doorway.

--

Tatia silently took his plate from him and washed that up too.

[BestNameEva]

"I didn't mean it, I just told you I didn't mean it!" Malvolio yelled then, voice breaking as he got closer to tears. "All I ever tried was to make Violet like you and stuck up for you, all I ever done was try and keep everyone happy like you try to do and then I met Trin and she actually wanted me to be happy like you do and Violet flipped and I didn't know what to do and then she died and it hurt so much so I tried giving Trin up so she'd want to come back and kept tell Viol and myself that I was over her when I wasn't and…" he shook his head as he ranted, "I just apologised! I'm sorry I somehow seem to screw things up even though my intentions are to make people or happy or make them understand how I'm feeling, I'm sorry I said I was done with you, done with Cam and Viol. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings and have just made you disappointed in me! I'm so sorry. I'm sorry all I ever do is put other people before me and it's never good enough. I'm sorry. Please don't be done with me, I need you…"

[Phoenix]

"I don't know what you want me to do Mal! I really don't." Finn retorted, shaking his head, obvious he was close to tears too. "I can't do anything concerning Violet without you making assumptions. I try and keep you apart so you don't argue, so you're not unhappy, you assume I kick you out, I'm happy about her being back, you assume she's my golden girl and I prefer her over you. I try and get her to apologise to you, you tell us that you're done with us - whether you mean it or not is irrelevant - If I thought it'd make you happy I'd tell her to stay away. But it wouldn't, but you don't want her around either, because she has a different opinion to you on your girlfriend. I'm out of ideas, I don't know what to do about the two of you anymore! You say you need me but what for? Because as it turns out I'm fucking useless!"

[BestNameEva]

As he spoke, Sage slid her arms around Finn from behind in a small hug when she heard how close he was to tears. Having been silently listening. "Go downstairs, Cam," she whispered quietly to her son and nodded and done as told.

"Forgiveness and a hug'd be nice at this very moment." Malvolio grumbled with a humourless laugh then, his gaze on the ground quietly.

[Phoenix]

"There's nothing to forgive you for, and you can get a hug from your girlfriend or your son, both of whom are waiting for you to leave so you can go with them." Finn said, turning around and muttering under his breath, not wanting either of his children or Sage see him cry, so instead he just walked away.

[SpiritWolfe]

Matteo: having heard it all as well opened the door and walked out into the hall Hes not my fault and he's made it clear he doesn't want to be. he muttered somewhat quietly as he walked downstairs and outside

Trinity: frowned watching her son and looked to Malvolio wanting to comfort him too but knowing he didn't want it she just said I'll be outside... before following Matteo

[BestNameEva]

"Need one from you though," He whined maybe a little childishly and watched his father go. Whispering to Trinity, "Go home if you want to… I…"

"My love," Sage sighed softly and followed Finn, sliding her arm around him and once they were away from him just stepping in front of him and pulling him into her. Rubbing his back soothingly.

[Phoenix]

"I try my hardest to make my kids happy and it's not enough for them. I didn't get to bring them up and I can't even make them happy. They both think I'm a disappointment to them. They can't get on with each other other long enough for Violet to apologise. She could've fixed it all! And now she's probably booked some plate and is gonna be out of here, and Malvolio's going to think I blame him for it when I never did and I - I." Finn shook his head then, tears blurring his vision as they dropped down his cheeks. "I have to go, I need to leave before I screw Cameron's life up too." he said, before pulling away from Sage and walking away again, clearly devastated by what had gone on and even though he said he didn't mean it, by what Malvolio had said too.

--

"M'back." Vanessa said, leaning against the doorway.

--

Tatia silently took his plate from him and washed that up too.

[SpiritWolfe]

Trinity: sighed deeply as she walked out and down the road grabbing Matteo by the arm to keep him from leaving We're waiting Matty.

Matteo: You wait then!

[BestNameEva]

"No, no, Finn." Sage whispered, catching his hand and pulling him back to her, wrapping her arms around him against and knotting her fingers in his hair, guiding his head down so his face was in the crook of her neck. "You won't screw Cameron's life up, you haven't screwed Malvolio and Violet's up they're just going through a rough stage. I'm sure they both love you, I'm sure both of them love you so, so much. Maybe Mal's just having trouble with the thought of independance not only away from Violet but from you too. Just give them both the night to calm down, then phone the both of them - or I will for you. Don't leave, my love, you leaving won't solve anything."

---
"Took you long enough," Leon joked with a grin, getting to his feet.

----
Klaus kissed her feel caringly.

-----
Malvolio left his suitcase in his room, just so he'd have an excuse to come back later and trailed out after Trinity and Matteo, crouching down in front of Matteo and whispering, "So sorry Matteo, don't be mad at me?  I've accidentally hurt so many people and all I wanted was for my sister to see how hurt I feel… my dad to know he'd hurt me… I've made things so much worse, don't you be mad at me too."

[Phoenix]

"I just wish Mal would make his mind up. One minute he wants Violet here, brings her back from the dead only to send her packing again because he's decided he needs his girlfriend more than her, then he's done with me and Cameron then he needs me but wants to move in with his girlfriend, but when I try to help him by trying to get Violet to apologise he just goes off on one. And Violet is constantly coming and going and coming and going and one minute she's okay and the next she hates me and everything and I was never her real dad the man who raised her was and then she's gone again and then she's back and my kids are shouting and I can't do with it anymore!" Finn bit out. "I can't make them both happy, I can't not disappoint both of them! I can't do anything right concerning either of them, Malvolio hates Violet clearly, from what he told her earlier, so I can't have her around anymore if I want to keep him happy, but then that'll upset Cam and I just don't know what to do! Malvolio expects me to be his hero and I can't even solve a simple bloody argument. I'm useless and all three of my kids are better off without me."

--

"Holly forgot to tell me she had to take stuff in for a food cooking class, so we had to run to the store." Vanessa rolled her eyes.

--

Tatia gave a one sided smile, carrying on doing the dishes.

[SpiritWolfe]

Matteo: looked at Malvolio for a long time and nodded I know... Your brother doesn't like us he blames my mommy and me for everything. I don't need a dad I just wanted a friend... Go inside and apologize to your brother and dad, hug them or something. Then go find your sister and do the same. They all love you he whispered quietly

[BestNameEva]

"No, they all need you. They all love you and love each other with every part of their esscene. Give Malvolio a while to sort out what he actually wants, the same with Violet and then get in touch with them and work from there." She adviced softly, "You're a brilliant father, Finn, this is nothing to do with you. This is Malvolio and Violet's problem and they need to act like the adults they should be and sort it out between themselves, sort out what they want and don't want. As for Cameron, I think he sees what Mal and Viol have been doing, making you run around in circles like this and he'd know that whatever happens now you're doing what you think is best. You're not useless," she soothed, "You're kids would be devastated without you, as would I. You're the greatest man I've ever met, my love, you've been faced with so many challenges in fatherhood that most others would of ran from a long, long time ago. You're such a brilliant father, such a strong man." She pulled back a little then, kissing his tears away before hugging him once again. "Take some deep breathes now, my love, deep breathes."

----
Leon laughed a little bit at that and gave a small nod.

----
"I love you, Tat," Klaus hummed.

----
Malvolio just shook his head and turned his head away suddenly when a few tears escaped his eyes. Closing his eyes to try and hold the others back.

[SpiritWolfe]

Matteo: stopped his mom when she was about to go to him and walked over to Malvolio sliding his own arms around him in a hug I wasn't mad, just a bit upset. Hugs help, go to them and keep trying.

[BestNameEva]

Malvolio just let out a deep sigh, shoved his hands into his pockets and walked away.

[Phoenix]

"I love you too Nik." Tatia replied, leaning her head back to rest against his shoulder and closing her eyes.

--

"You managed to find a stables nearby?"

--

"It's everything to do with me. Violet wants Malvolio, Malvolio wants his girlfriend and in the end I'm going to end up losing one of them, probably both of them. Violet isn't going to listen to me now, her pride was already hurt from before, and now I've convinced her to apologise and she just got shouted and and Malvolio told her he was done with her and that he was scared of her, he probably even hates her. She's never going to listen to a word I say again, silly stupid stubborn girl she is. And Malvolio's eventually going to realise that I'm not what he needs, that I'm not a hero and I'm disappointing, and Cameron will realise the same too and then they'll both walk away too... I should never have had children, then so many lives wouldn't be twisted and ruined because of me."

[SpiritWolfe]

Trinity: grabbed his arm and pulled him to her No walking away Mal.

[BestNameEva]

Malvolio just looked at her then before he turned to hide his face in the crook of her neck and dissolving into tears, "I-I lost ev-everything. I-I just lost everything.… L-lost my f-father an-and my sister a-and my b-brother an-and probably Sage too… I just wanted them to understand, I…"

---- 
"And those lives wouldn't of exsisted either. Everything that happens in our lives is in extremes, unfortunately, my love. Right now it's a really really bad time, and you're hurting so so much and Malvolio and Violet probably are aswell but there are amazing good times too, you remember, after these real bad time. There's when you finally saw Malvolio and Violet again, the first time you held Cameron, family parties when everyone has her getting along…" she listed, "All of the good memories you have that involve the kids wouldn't exsist if you never would of had them and I think that'd be pretty sad. You haven't ruined any of their lives. It's all going to be okay and I'm here for you, okay? You're not going through any of this alone. I'm right here to hold you up when you feel like giving up. I love you with all my heart and soul, just like your children do. Your kids will always love you, unconditionally, like they'll always love each other."


---
"Mm, a 20 minute drive away. Just on the outskirts of the city." Leon nodded.

[SpiritWolfe]

Trinity: held him tightly tangling her fingers in his hair Give them all a few days as well as yourself. Let everyone calm down and then you can come back and talk with them again, I know you didn't mean what you said about not needing them and I'm sure they know too. You needed to finally be heard
