CHAPTER 10 The first i love you's.

    "I love you. A lot."

Oh sh*t sh*t sh*t.. I wasn't ready for that. I thought. He looked at me with hopeful eyes. I sat up and wrapped my arms around his torso.

   "I love you, too." I mumbled.

He chuckled and hugged me back, kissing my head and laying down still holding me.

"Promise me." I said tired.

"Promise you what?" He asked. "That you will always and only be mine. No one else's." I yawned. The last thing I remember was him saying, "Promise."

I woke up and looked around. Carter wasn't here. I looked at my phone. 8:43.

"What?!" I yelled and ran out of the room. I had school and it starts at 9:00. I ran past Liha who followed me. I got there in a minute flat, using my vampire speed of course.

I got in my room and picked out a simple outfit. A simple black high waisted skirt, a blue, white and black top and some black heeled sandals. I got changed quickly then Liha and I ran to her car and drive off to school.

Once we were there I stiffened. "What's wro-" she paused. "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot." She said. All the scents of blood were rushing in. I didn't have that craving like when I smelled Nash's blood. It was just over flowing, all to much at one time.

I shook my head. "Not a craving, just all to much at once." I told her. I got out and headed in. Liha followed. "We'll have to ask Connor about that, usually newborns can't stop drinking." She said, I nodded.

She froze. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Let's go this way." She said. "Huh? Why?" I followed her gaze and froze.

    Carter was kissing some blonde. I could feel my eyes pricking with tears. I looked away and speed walked away. I walked outside and climbed a ladder to the roof. I hugged my knees and hung my head. I felt arms wrap around me. I looked up a bit. Liha was sitting next to me, arms around my shoulders.

I let her hug me and I cried. Cried the first time since my parents had died. "He... Promised!" I choked. She patted me. "I know hon. I'm sorry. He's a doosh." I let out a pained laugh. "Let's go home and have a girls night. I nodded weakly.

      We looked around the school and when we were sure no one was there, we jump down and went to her car.

    "Why aren't you in school?" Connor and Esme asked in surprise. I looked down and hid behind Liha. "Did she..." Connor trailed off. "No, that was one thing we wanted to know. She doesn't want human blood." Liha told them.

    Esme and Connor shared a look but finally nodded. "We all have a "power" if you will. She must be able to control her thirst." Connor told us. "So... Why aren't you in school?" Esme asked.

    "Carter." Liha hissed. Their eyes widened. "He didn't." Some one gasped in disbelief. I looked behind me to see Lisa and Max standing there. I looked down. "He did. Lisa, you were right. He's horrid." I started to cry again.

    This time Lisa was the one who hugged me. Her and Liha dragged me off. "That boy has done it! No one has ever hurt their mate!" I could hear Connor yell which only made me cry harder.

    We made it to my room and they put me on my bed. I cried for nearly 4 hours strait before I could speak. I sat up and wiped my cheeks. I looked at them with hard eyes.

    "You wanna know what bothers me the most?" I said darkly, making them throw worried glances at each other. I stood up and walked to them.

     "What bothers me the most is that I actually believed him. That I didn't have to be the depressed teenager." My voice was way darker this time. They looked at each other even more worried and maybe even frightened.

    I went into my bathroom and slammed the door. I turned to look in the mirror. I had only put on mascara this morning. It had run down my cheeks, making me look even scarier then I was or were. I smiled grimly.

    This was the new me. The me were I don't need love. Me, Myself and I.
