The Grrr Games

Chapter 21

Vicky's POV

I can't believe my mom just said that.

"Mom! Shut up!" I hiss at her.

"What? I'm just being truthful. We all know that it will happen eventually." I notice that everyone is starring at us.

"Nothing to see here people! Look away!" They ignore me and continue to just watch.

"Listen to her!" Damon commands.

Right away thy all look away, afraid of what he would do to them if they didn't listen.

"Wow, that takes skill."

"I guess you could call it that. You will be able to do that too soon, just have to earn their trust." I nod.

"Okay, what's gonna happen?" My mom asks. Damon answers.

"If it okay with you, I would like you and Vicky to come and live with me in my mansion."

"Yeah, I guess we can do that. I can't keep you two apart."

"Would you like to take a couple hours to pack your necessities, if you forget anything we can always go to the store there."

"Okay, I'll see you guys later. We will meet by the limo right?"

"Yup, try to be here at 6."

"Okay, bye." She leaves and walks in the direction of the parking lot.

"Who do u need to say goodbye to?" Damon asks me.

"Just one person, my best friend Victoria. After I say bye then we can go pack my stuff."

"Sounds good." I grab his hand and lead him into the direction of her house.

"It's close enough that we can walk."

We walk on the side walk, hand in hand, not talking.

"What happened to your dad?" Damon suddenly asks.

"Oh, um, he left my mom and I when I was 7. My mom and him weren't mates, they were just two people who hadn't found their mates at that time, so they got together. My father found his mate sometime during their marriage and had an affair. I guess my dad finally got sick of sneaking around, so he left with a note saying what had happened. I remember the note had said something like 'found someone better, later bitch.'. My dad wasn't the nicest guy in the world, and I guess he just didn't care anymore." My eyes start to tear up as memories of him and I flood back.

There's this one time when I had gone fishing with my dad, and afterward we had gone out for ice cream. I accidentally dropped mine on the ground, so he paid for a new one. I could tell he was mad, but he put a smile on his face for me.

"He was a good dad, for the time that he was a dad at least. He was caring and patient with me. I never once noticed his care falter. If I hadn't of been told that he had found his mate, I would have never known." The tears start to come down steadily now.

We stop walking and he turns towards me.

"Please don't cry." He wrapped his arms around me. "I can't see you cry, it hurts."

As he hold me in his arms, I burry my head in his chest and just let it all out. I suddenly have this desire to just let it all out to him. I never did really cry over my dad leaving, I guess now all the tears are just catching up to me, and I need to get them out before I can let go.

I don't know how long we stood in the middle of the sidewalk, but it was long enough to make my legs stiff.

"We should probably get going." I tell him.

"Only if your ready."

"Yeah, I'm ready." I pull away from his arms and wipe away the tears in my face. I pros ably look like a mess, but I really don't care right now.

"I have never cried to someone before." I softly admit.

"Well, I'm glad you feel safe enough to do it on me." He grabs my hand again and we walk towards our destination. I lead him on the turns and we finally get here.

"Okay, before we go in, I just want to warn you. She gets kinda, 'AHHHHH', sometimes."

"Thanks for the warning." We walk up to the front door and I ring the doorbell. You here the little do,do,do,do, before the door opens.

"Vicky!" I'm startled as I'm suddenly tackled by a ball of blonde hair.

"Woah there, blondie. Calm yourself." I stand up straight and pull her off of me.

"How can I be calm when my best friend disapeared for 4 days! Hmmm!??" She shouts.

"I'm sorry about that."

"Sure you are. Where did you disappear to anyway?"

"Trust me, you don't want to know." She nods but I can tell she is planning on bringing it up later.

She spots Damon and eyes him over.

"This one of your fuck buddies?" She asks me. Uh oh.

"WHAT?!?"
