True Blood

9 Crimes

I sigh as I begin disinfecting Alcides wounds and he groans with pain 

"Don't take it personally. The Were you were fighting had vampire blood in him. Bill's, in fact, so I know it's strong." I say smirking trying to make Alcide feel better about the absolute ass beating he got.  

"Werewolves doing V? Goes against everything we stand for. The rest of the pack into that shit?" he spits and I nod slowly slightly scared of his reaction 

"The ones who took Bill, at least." I add and he sighs before running a hand through his hair 

"Like l need more reasons to hate them. Ow." he cries and I giggle covering my hand to my mouth 

"Sorry." I whisper and he turns away from me. I clear my throat before tilting my head at him"Is Debbie your ex-girlfriend?" I ask 

"She's my fiancée. She moved out a month ago." alcide sighs 

"A month? And you still haven't got new furniture?" I say smirking and he turns around to look at me again

"l don't have time for it." he replies simply not showing any emotion on his face. 

"You ever hear from her?" I ask continuing to clean his cuts 

"My sister, Janice, does. She runs a beauty parlor. Debbie still goes in to get her hair done up." he says and I stop cleaning him 

Love, heartbreak, sorrow 

But as I shake the voices I look back down at alcide who looks at me intensely

"Almost done." I whisper but then my phone starts ringing and I rush over to it, I nearly have a heart attack when I see the name on the screen 

"Hello? Bill?" I cry 

"Yes." he replies and I almost fall to the floor 

"Are you hurt? I know the werewolves have you." I say holding my heart 

"Nobody has me. I have left my life in Bon Temps. And l am leaving you." he whispers 

"Shut the fuck up." I cry feeling a tear slip down my face "The last time l saw you, you asked me to marry you." I scream into the phone 

"You did us both a favor by not saying yes." he whispers and i let out a sob 

"You have to say that. Someone's listening." I cry 

"Lorena, actually, to whom l have just made love. We fucked like only two vampires can. I didn't hold back for fear of hurting her like l do with you. Look at your life since l entered it. l've only caused you pain. I am death. I will bring you only suffering. Our worlds are too different. Our natures too. We were doomed from the start." he says and I hear Lorenas voice in the background. I drop to the floor to cover my mouth I look up at alcide who's now up and standing in front of me 

"l don't believe you" I whisper.

"Believe what you want. You are no longer of concern to me. Do not try to find me. I do not wish to be found." he says and I hang up before he says anything else that could break my heart even further I cover my mouth as I begin to sob and alcide just looks down on me with a sad look on his face 

"What does he mean, he doesn't wanna be found?" I whisper 

"I'm pretty sure it means he doesn't wanna see you anymore." he says walking back to grab tissues 

"That isn't what he said." I cry 

"Well, what do you think he said?" he asks raising his voice 

"I don't know what he said. I just know that isn't the man l love." I whisper 

"Well, maybe the man you love never existed except in your head. No matter how well you think you know somebody... they can still turn around and kick you right in the nut sac." he says sitting down next to me 

"I don't have a nut sac, and Bill... he's risked everything for me. Our love is way bigger than him breaking up with me over the phone." I sob and he turns to look at me 


"All l'm saying is there's no nice way of getting out of these things. Come here." he sighs before pulling me into his bare chest 

"Oh, my God, you're so warm." I whisper feeling the heat dance on my skin 

"Sorry. It's a Were thing. We run hot." he says and I laugh 

"I thought maybe you were coming down with the flu." I sob-laugh and he quickly tilts my chin up so that I'm staring into his eyes and for a second I think he's going to kiss me but he quickly jumps up 

"You probably want some privacy." he says and i shake my head
