A Bite of Reality

Chapter Ten

Kat's POV

"What's going on?" I ask, confused, worried and a whole other level of emotions. "Who's Alexis?"

"Alexis isn't the one who matters right now." He says, trying to stay calm. "What matters is this: Why didn't you tell me Brody came to see you?"

I let out a soft gasp, and clearly he notices it, as it causes him to fire up.

"So he did come? Why didn't you tell me this?" He screams, his temper rising.

"Because I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone!" I yell back, blinking away tears that threaten to fall down my face.

"Kat! He could've hurt you for all we know! Do you understand how I would've felt if anything happened to you because of the bastard?" He yells back, pain in his eyes. "I would've blamed myself for it, because I'm supposed to be the one protecting you."

I stare at him, unable to say anything. He stays silent for a moment, before anger strikes through his face.

"But instead, you had to go and be a complete idiot and not tell me! You need to fucking think before you do things Kat."

As tears stream down my face, I flare up, screaming at him.

"This is the exact fucking reason why I told you to never tell me you love me! You can change your emotions within a second, one moment being the sweet person I've ever met, acting like you care about me, to this, yelling at me and calling me an idiot! I don't want to love someone like that, I don't want someone like that to love me, so do me a favour and don't fall in love with me." I say, running back to my room, tears rapidly falling down.

Hunter's POV

As she runs off too her rooms crying, her words travel through my mind, making me realize that I wasn't actually mad at her, I was just scared. Scared Brody would hurt her. Scared that he would take her away from me. 

I walk to her room, making sure she would get there before me this time. When I reach it, the door is locked, and I can hear her crying inside.

"Kat," I mumble, banging on the door. "I overreacted, I'm sorry, please let me in so we can talk, please."

After a moment or two, she unlocks the door, wiping tears from her eyes. Swiftly and quickly, I pull her into my chest, wrapping my arms around her waist, and she places her arms on my forearms, resting her head against my shoulder as I softly rock her in my arms.

Kat's POV

I lift my head from his shoulder, looking up at him as he plants a small and soft kiss on my lips.

"I'm so sorry." he mumbles, keeping my lips as close to his as possible. I smile, shaking my head, letting him know that it should be me being the one apologizing. After all, I made up a complete lie telling him why I didn't want to fall in love with him, just because I was mad, when really I'm just worried that if I get false hope, I'll think that we'll be together forever, until reality reminds me that he's a vampire, I'm not, and that he's specifically said not to change me. Although it's not like whatever he says to me anymore matters.

After all, I think I may already be in love.
