Adopted By Vampires

Chapter Thirty Nine

I sat in shock then Eric walked in. He smiled at me as he walked towards me. He put his arm under my waist to help me up. I limped beside him as we walked to the door. He had a plate set for me with waffles on it, my favorite breakfast food. I smiled at him and slowly started to eat. "I can't wait until I can walk by myself." I stated. Eric laughed as he started to clear up the mess he made. Trevor sat beside Trent as Lilli sat across from Trent and Amanda sat across from Trevor. I was confusing myself as I took notice that Willow wasn't there. "Where's Willow?" I asked. They all looked at each other giggling.

"She's busy at the moment." Eric stated as he walked over and kissed my forehead. I heard laughter then Willow walked out, her hair was messy and her clothes were disheveled. A girl walked out behind her then walked out of the door. She sat across from me and looked up at me sheepishly. We all started to laugh at her as she blushed and tried to hide. "Kayla," I heard Eric as I took a bite of my waffle. I looked up at him with my mouth stuffed with a waffle. "I know you don't like being able to walk, but I love helping you." He said. He pulled up a chair so that he could have sat next to me.

"Trust me Eric I love that you help me, but I don't want to add stress on to all your kingly duties." I replied. I messed with my waffles absentmindedly.

"I'm not king though." He told me. He looked at me confused. Everyone was quiet while staring at us.

"Well not yet, but you will be and I don't want to be a hassle." I stated and pushed my plate away from me. I smiled and looked at Eric. "I want you to know I am grateful and appreciate your help." I said while I kissed his cheek. He helped me up as everyone else started up conversations. I saw Trent and Lilli sneak glances at each other. I smirked at them as Eric helped me to our room. He led me to the room and set me on the bed. He looked around the room, which in turn caused him to laugh.

"I know we missed celebrating your birthday together, but many people left presents for you." He explained. I looked up in confusion, then immediately realized we had a long day ahead of us. I had opened most of the presents that were given to me. We had only come out of the room to eat. Later that night Eric looked at the time while wincing a little.

"Well, at least we've got through three quarters of it." I said. He smiled as he set the next one in front of me. I opened it and started round two of presents. We finished around 10:00 PM, we were both very tired. I saw a present on the nightstand on Eric's side of the bed. "We missed one." He looked up at the present. Eric got a smile on his face and walked over to the present. He handed it to me with a hopeful look. I opened it to see a picture frame with a picture of Eric and I that I didn't know was taken. It was while we were dancing at the ball when Eric had agreed to become King. In the picture we were both looking into each others eyes with smiles on both of our faces. I smiled at Eric while I pulled him into a hug.

"Do you like it?" He asked.

"I love it, it's the best present in the group." I replied as we pulled away from our hug. We kissed each other then as we pulled away I yawned.

"I think we should go to bed, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow." He stated and I looked at him weird. "We start wedding plans tomorrow." I sighed while I laid down. I put my head on Eric's chest and fell asleep. I woke up at 8:00 AM, as I did this caused Eric to wake up. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, but was hesitant to get up. "Do you still need help?" Eric asked. I shook my head while I took a deep breath. I slowly stood up, but a pain shot through my leg that caused me to cry out in pain. Eric got up out of the bed and rushed over to me. He helped me up as I mentally beat myself up.

"Oh my God!" I yelled in frustration. Eric chuckled at me while he helped me back up to the bed.

"Maybe we should take you to the doctor." Eric said. I nodded as I winced from the pain in my leg. He smiled and walked over to his keys. He picked them up off the nightstand. Then walked over to me to help me with my shoes. I was so frustrated with myself. I didn't say anything the whole way there. The doctor examined my leg as Eric held my hand for support. He knew how much I hated doctors and hospitals. The doctor hit a sore spot on my leg this caused me to cry out in pain.

"I think you have a slight sprain in your leg, but it should be healed within the next week or so." The doctor explained as he wrote down something. "You two are free to go, just remember Kayla needs to not strain her leg."

"I got it Doc, trust me she won't strain it." Eric said and helped me up. We walked out, or more like Eric walked out while I limped. He helped me to the car and opened the door when we got there. "How did this happen?" He questioned me.

"Well, the first night I was kidnapped I was beat by someone. I guess I didn't feel the pain from it until all the stress had been added on." I explained. I was not about to tell him that Trevor had beat me.

"Who was it?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders while I looked out the window.

"I can't remember." I replied. Eric nodded as he started up the car. We drove home while we listened to Black Veil Brides latest album. "Walk Away" was playing as I looked out the window of the car. I sighed and knew Kaleb would be back for me, but right now my life was right.
