Chapter 8: Half Bloods

Stark

“What are you?” I asked again. A pang of pain ran through my chest as I saw a flash of hurt reflecting in her eyes.

“I'm... I'm a.... Half Blood...” she answered.

There was a period of complete silence in the room before she finished her sentence.

“A Half Blood vampire,”

At first complete shock ran through my veins then denial then shock again as her words registered in my brain.

I'm dating a vampire! That's silly! This must be some sick joke! A vampire?!

The denial faded after I knew she wasn’t lying and said the first thing that came to mind.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I was afraid,”

“Of what? You're a vampire.” That came out wrong.

“That you wouldn’t accept me.”

And with that I kissed her deeply. I should’ve been running away and screaming vampire! But knowing this only made us closer and so I did the first thing that came to mind I took off my top, and kissed her neck. She reached for her blouse and slid it off. I then picked her up and laid her on my bed and kissed her between her breasts as she sighed in pleasure.

I always thought I’d have my first time with Aph, well I guess times have changed...

I kneeled on my bed and slid off her skirt, then kneeled down to kiss her navel. I started kissing her upwards reaching her neck when the door opened...

Aphrodite

A few days after suffering from another of her break-downs since Stark left, Aphrodite slid on her black Rock & Republic skinny jeans, a white embroidered tank top which was under her beige Burberry London trench and into her brown knee-high Fendi boots and decided to visit Stark.

Her excitement was infectious as she reached his address where she saw his father who had directed her towards his room.

When she opened the door Stark was on top of an impossibly beautiful girl in nothing but his baggy jeans and she had nothing on but her Victoria’s Secret underwear.

The pain of the picture was unbearable. Her heart ached in utter betrayal that she closed the door as Stark looked into her tear filled blue eyes and she ran.

Stark

As soon as I saw Aphrodite a sensation of true disappointment ran through my brain as I ran after her, forgetting to put my shirt back on.

She was about to get into her car when I yelled “Aphrodite!” in desperation.

I walked into the rain and stared into her eyes with a desperate look on my face, her expression and words that followed were heartbreaking.

“What Stark?” she asked emotionlessly.

What could I say? That it’s not what it looks like? That I can explain? That this wasn't anything what she thought? I’d be lying so I just said a barely audible “I'm sorry.”

“Why Stark, why?” she asked this time pain and betrayal laced her every word.

“I never meant... I didn’t mean... I don’t know...”

“There has to be a reason Stark! You don’t just end up in bed with some whore!” she said, the tears were now visibly falling from her eyes, even in the unexpected rain.

“She’s not a whore...”

“So now you’re standing up for her?!”

“No... I... I...”

“What Stark? You what?”

“I never meant for this to happen.”

“No one ever does, but they do it anyway. And the killer part is that you barely even know her!”

“You’re over reacting, I do know her...”

“Again why are you standing up for her? Well if you know her, tell me what makes her happy?”

Silence

“What make her sad?”

Silence

“What's her favorite song? Movie? Color?”

Again, silence

“Who was her first kiss, her first love?”

Silence

“What's her second name?”

Silence

“For Christ’s sake! Can you at least tell me how old she is?”

Silence...

“Why stark? Why? Was it me? Did I do something wrong? And don’t you dare tell me it’s not you it’s me, or I swear I’ll kill you...”

I just stood there, my eyes were beginning tear.

“Say something please,”

“I love you Aph, you know I do.”

“I don’t know anything anymore...”

And with that she got into the Porsche and I ran after her pleading and apologizing. At that moment I couldn’t stand to be me, couldn’t stand my smell, my body, my very essence...

So I grabbed my jacket headed out for her, Jamie was already in the car.

“We have to find her, I don’t know why, but we have to.” I said looking at Jamie

“I know. And Stark, I'm sorry.” she said.

After that we drove after her and into my dream...
