Klaus needs to be destroyed, but they have been trying to kill him for so long now. Their attempts have only resulted in more deaths despite their best attempts. The deaths aren't their faults. The blood will always be on Klaus' hands, but it is never ending, and Jeremy doesn't have words for how much he hates it. He- there just aren't any at all. They never win, but they have to believe they can win sometimes.
If they don't believe it, what is there? Might as well end it all now, because what's the point of anything otherwise. Sometimes he really doesn't know how any of them are still alive. Somehow they are. Somehow they keep going, they keep pushing even when they shouldn't have reason to get up again.
He doesn't know if that makes them dumb or stubborn or both, but he's right there with Tyler. Somehow he's still getting up.
His sister has killed him, and he has killed three people, and there are endless amounts of innocents who are dead now. They continuously get used by people they trust, by people they love or care about, and somehow-
Somehow they keep going.
Then Tyler mentions his uncle Mason, and there's another wave of guilt. Mason is another person who is dead now, dead. Jeremy walked in on it. Listened to the torture. He tried to stop it, and it wasn't enough. It never is. He somehow swallows past it. Just take care of Tyler. Make sure this never happens to him. He doesn't know how anymore. How does he live with all this guilt anymore? Jeremy doesn't know. Doesn't stop to analyze it. "Seriously. Alcohol, sun, sand, that'd be nice," he says in a quiet voice. "Hell, even a vacation from all this shit would be nice for awhile, but it's never gonna happen."
It would be nice though. They all would deserve it. That break, that freedom from it.
Jeremy looks over at him after a moment, feeling something clench in his chest as he speaks, and Jeremy shakes his head.
"I know. I know, man. It was a good fucking plan, and it wasn't your fault," he says as he looks at him, and there's something tangled in his chest. There's an intensity to it, but he means every single word.
It wasn't Tyler's fault. It wasn't.
He was trying to save them, and hybrids don't live long under Klaus' control. Tyler was doing everything he could for them. Tyler is the best of all of them along with Matt and Bonnie. They're all the best of them, and they should just-
"You should get out. You and Matt and Caroline and Bonnie."
