Chapter 8: Broken Hearts and Broken Love

It had been a good five minutes since Silas left, and I was still standing in the classroom, frozen.

Had I made the wrong choice?

Should i have left with Silas when i had the chance?

Just because I had a long life, didn't mean that I don't need to make good choices. Stalking Parker hadn't been such a bad idea before, but what if I spent eternity doing just that? Broken that I broke the only friendship I could form with trust.

The door opened and in one second I was at the back of the room, under a desk, with by invisibility sheet up. At least I knew that my witchy side still worked.

Parker and Ava walked in.

Parker.

I did everything in my power not to rush up to him. To throw my arms around him and beg for forgiveness, but I couldn’t intrude in his life anymore. I would leave after this. As long as Ava didn’t detect my witch magic and then kill me for being here. At least we knew that she was still friendly with vampires, with Parker’s vampire form in front of her.

I fell into that pit of sadness again.

He had such a vivid l life before him, and now he was undead. I never wanted this life for him. I had no plan to turn him but would if he wanted me to. But just being here remembering the times I had asked what he wanted to do with his life and how he spoke to me with every inch of it planned out. It was heartbreaking. I ripped him away from a life he was so prepared to have.

And it was 10 months since the last time I saw him. It was definitely heartbreaking.

“Have you not heard anything from her?” Parker said, his voice was laced in stress and his forehead was crinkled up in tension.

“If you could forget about her, then this would be easy,” Ava said.

“Just tell me,” Parker snapped back.

Ava raised her hands up in defeat, “Alright, alright. A few days ago I did the detector spell, but I can’t find her Parker. I’ve told you that. She’s either standing still for a long period of time, or she is …you know.”

Before my very eyes, Parker grabbed a desk and threw it against a wall. It shattered into a million pieces. I would’ve jumped back in surprise if I wasn’t locked underneath a table.

“She is not dead, “ Parker said quietly. If he had a heart. It would be out of control.

“I’m just telling you the truth Parker,” Ava said slowly, as tears formed in her eyes. There was a deep connection between her and Parker that I hadn’t expected to come across. It was like Ava felt his pain, whoever it was he was talking about.  She was heart broken.

I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Ava. Parker must’ve been the closest family she had and I just took him away with the thoughts of my own. Now he was back, but sad, and she could do nothing about it.

“I know,” Parker said back tiresomely. “All I can see is her face when I walked out the door. I’ve never seen someone that broken. 10 months of nightmares Ava. All I want to hear is that she is safe.”

I couldn’t believe that I’ve been so stupid. He was talking about…me. Unless there had been many other woman walking out his door 10 months ago..

“I promised to be honest with you Parker,” Ava said quietly.

I wanted to stand. Stand out and say everything was alright. But nothing was and I couldn’t take the choice of him walking away for granted. I couldn’t do that. I couldn’t move from the table.

Something wet fell to the floor, and I looked down to see a drop of water. It was then I realised I was crying, silently.

The door slammed open again and there strode a girl with a small back pack, books in her hand. Her hair was beautifully woven with strands of gold, and they were splayed everywhere. Like she was trying to hold on to herself.

“Oh there you are Parker,” she said, in her eyes were the utter look of fondness and love.

I wanted to die. Very much.

Parker smiled back at her in polite love.

And I wanted to die over and over again.

“I’m coming Ruby, I was just talking to Ava about our science project,” he said back. Ava smiled and nodded with him.

“If only you were in our class Rubes,” Ava smiled, “I would hand over Parker and run.”

Ruby laughed.

It would make it easy for me to hate her if she was a slut in six inch heals, but I couldn’t. Because Parker hadn’t judged anyone on their appearance, and even as a vampire, he still did not. He won the Stefan Salvatore award for sure. And if I wasn’t so selfish, then he would be the perfect match for Elena. In a safe world.

Parker walked out of the room with Ruby and Ava followed. Only after they left, she closed the door and turned towards the room.

“Come out, Charletta. I know you’re in here.”
