I was at home skimming through a magazine when I heard the door bell ring. I don't expect visitors so I was a little confused. I was hoping it wasn't my mother again. That would just frustrate me.

I walked to the door and slowly opened it. It revealed the perfectly gorgeous face of Nathan's.

"Hey." He whispered

"How did you find me?" I asked.

"Charlotte." He let out. Anger raged through my veins. Was he seeing Charlotte behind my back?

"Oh. What do you want?" I asked angrily.

"Can I come in?"

I motioned him inside and shut the door behind us. I crossed my arms before my chest and waited for him to speak.

"I miss you." He whispered. I wanted to say the same to him. But if he was with Charlotte, it made no sense if I said it.

"What do you want Nathan?" I asked, my voice shaking as I was close to tears.

"I want you back Eve! I love you ok? I've only loved you!" He said. "We can start over, from the beginning. I promise I won't mess up!"

"Did you like Charlotte?" Was all I could ask.

"What?" He asked confused.

"Why did you go behind my back with Charlotte?" I asked.

"Eve.. you don't even know half of the truth! You're blinded by what you saw, but what you see isn't always the truth. Your sister is helpless and young, and right now what she needs is your support! You don't have to take me back, but take care of Charlotte." He spoke. I could feel a pang of jealousy hit me because of the deep care he showed towards Charlotte. But it also showed how much of a kind hearted person he was.

With that Nathan headed for the door. He shut it roughly after he left, and I could hear heavy stomping down the stairs. I ran after him this time as well. I wanted to hear the truth behind all of this.

"Nathan!" I called, but he didn't bother turning back.

"Nathan! Please!" I begged and he looked at me this time.

"I don't want to cause you any hurt. Nor Charlotte! But I want to hear the truth!" I insisted.

He took a long pause before looking into my eyes.

"Your mother feeds on Charlotte." He blurted out. I was so shocked when I heard that. I wanted to beat myself up for being such an ignorant tramp. All I cared for were my own feelings and nobody else's.

"She what?" I stuttered.

"Yes! She tortures her and drinks her blood. Charlotte only kissed me that night because she knew you would see it. Cheryl wanted us to break apart so that she could kill you straight away." He told me.

I felt my whole world collapse. For no reason, I was blaming my sister for all the misery my mother was causing. My mother really did have some nerve.

I will never be able to look Charlotte in the eye any more for all the sins I have caused her. I started crying harshly and ran back up the stairs. Nathan came behind me to make sure I wouldn't do anything stupid.

"Eve wait" He screamed as he grabbed me from behind.

"I'm a terrible person!" I cried trying to free myself off his grip.

"No you're not! You wouldn't do this if you knew!" He said as he tried to calm me.

"I'm so sorry!" I cried into his chest.
