Chapter 10 - The Interruption

Alison's POV

"Alison honey! We're home!" My mother's voice echoed through the house. Instantly, I jumped up from the bed and my eyes widened.

"Shit, my parents are home" I whisper yelled to Brian, who just seemed confused.

"So?"

"So, you need to get out of here" I picked up his hand and walked towards my closet where I pushed him in. "Wait here, and do not move. Understand?" He nodded, still confused, but I ignored him and shut the doors, walking out my bedroom down towards the kitchen. My mother was by the kitchen counter, cutting vegetables and my dad was talking on the phone by the living room. "Hey mum" I slowly approached her and kissed her cheek.

"Hey sweetheart, no plans for today? It's friday" she commented, giving me an idea.

"Actually yes I do. I'm going over to Paisley's for a sleepover if that's ok with you"

"Of course, go have fun darling" I smiled and side hugged my mother.

"Thanks mum, see ya tomorrow" I waved back at her and went running up the stairs back to my room.

Opening the doors to my closet, I pulled Brian out, who still looked confused.

"May I know why you're hiding me?" he asked as I walked back into my closet and started picking out clothes.

"Well I can't just present you to my parents" I state

"Why not?" I look back at him to see if he's joking, but he's just serious.

"Brian, what am I supposed to say? Hey mum and dad, this is Brian. He is a 459 year old vampire who was cursed a long time ago. He drank from me once, but I promise he's nice. Can I keep him?" As the words came out of my mouth I regretted it immediately. I knew by the expression on his face that I had hurt him, but I didn't mean to. He was an amazing person, and I knew that, but how was I supposed to convince that to the rest of the the world. His head lowered, as if in shame, and he walked back to my bed, sitting down. I sighed and sat next to him, placing my hand in his. "I didn't mean it like that-"

"No, it's true. I am a monster. I do not deserve your help Alison. I am greatful for your help, but this needs to end here. I will find Grettan with Lana. You must stay out of it. You have a life of your own and I am not going to spoil that for you. Thank you for everything. Goodbye Alison" The next thing I know, a blast hits my face, and then he's gone. I looked back, absolutley startled, and saw my window open, my curtains flying with the pressure of the wind. My heart throbbed and I felt empty. I didn't want to be away from him. Somehow, he made me feel safe. I considered going back to the castle and talking to him, but something made me think that he wouldn't want me there. That he rejected me. I couldn't think, I didn't want to. I fell back on the bed and curled myself up in a ball, crying my heart out for the rest of the night.

What have I done?

Brian's POV

Running out of her house, I dashed back to the castle. Somehow, I remembered the way. Her words had hurt, and even though I knew she didn't feel them, it was true. I was a vampire, and she a human. I couldn't allow her to risk and waste her life over a person like me who didn't deserve it. I didn't deserve anything I had gotten from her. I was pretty sure she was hurt after I left, but it was for the best. I was doing this for her better. So she would remain safe. Grettan was a dangerous person, and I couldn't have Alison under her radar, just like she had me. I walked back up to my room and banged the door closed. As much as I wanted Alison to come back running to me, I knew I couldn't have her.

I wasn't right for her in any way, and she deserved righ in every way. I sat myself on the bed, thinking of the previous events. I had almost kissed her, but the interruption was fate's way of signalling that we were not meant to be. And I agreed. We most certainly were not.

Maybe it was all for the best. Maybe Alison could now move on with her life and find happiness in other things. Maybe she could. The words hurt, but what didn't hurt her, didn't hurt me.
