Vampire Love

Chapter 9 ☾

So today I decided not to study and instead wrote another chapter. Here it is:

Aria's P.O.V (Next Day)

Here we go again. Bella is watching White Collar with Mom, and they are laughing at every joke of Neal's. I like the show and I especially like Neal... but do they really have to laugh so loud?

"You guys! He's just a guy! That wasn't even funny." Ok, so I'll admit something. I'm kinda jealous of Bella. Ever since Dad died, I pushed away poor Mom. We used to be so close: we would talk about every little thing; I would tell her who I thought was cute, and it was so easy to talk about puberty and all that. (Probably because we both knew we don't want to talk about)

When I pushed her away, Mom found her comfort in ten year old Bella, who did everything to make Mom happy. She tried to hide the fact that she missed Dad, so she would do everything Mom would say. I remember hearing sobbing in the middle of the night, and instantly knew it was Bella. So I'm glad she got close with Mom. But because I pushed Mom away, we got distant. I missed knowing that I had someone to talk to, crying on her shoulder, acting crazy... all of that was only in front of Mom. And the fact that Mom and I used to watch White Collar together when I was younger just made me feel replaced.

"Dear, come watch with us. It's your favorite character!" Ok, that's not true. When I was younger I was totally crazy about Matt Bomer, but it's embarrassing. I would say I loved Mozzie ( I do).

"Mom, I want to finish my homework so I can watch Walking Dead!" I yelled to the other room. I looked over to see Bella acting like a walker and Mom trying to silently laugh. Ok, so another thing about me: I like Walking Dead. I mean, these past few episodes have me crying. I never cry... unless I see a dead body in front of me.

I love fiction! It's the one thing that gets you out of reality and shows you what may never happen. The fact that there is so much drama is so funny to me!

My favorite character was first Beth, but she died. Then it was Noah, because he was new, but he died. So I picked the person who I liked but would have no possibility of dying: Glen. And then they showed he died. I mean, is that a coincident? As soon as I started to watch walking dead (later seasons) people I loved died. So I'm the reason why people are dying...

A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. I waited for someone to open it, but the two giggly girls were glued to the couch. I got up and opened the door to find the one and only: Derek.

"Hi, I just came by to see if you got home. I mean, I dropped you off, but you left somewhere else." Derek looked down and tried to avoid eye contact.

"Yeah, I was just needed to get some pencils for school. That's all. And besides, that was yesterday. Don't we have History together?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah. I guess I didn't see you." He was patiently was standing at the door, when I realized Oh my god, I haven't invited him inside. Such a bad hostess.

"Um, Bella and Mom are in the living room, so if you want, we can hang in the dining room. You know, talk."

"Oh, sure. That would be great." He said. I lead him into the dining room when... wait a minute, where'd he go? I went back to the front porch to see him still standing awkwardly.

"Um, are you coming? Or do you have somewhere to be?" I was getting a little annoyed by this guy.

"Yeah. I didn't realize you invited me in?" He said that like it was a question and he still stood there. I probably had to say the words because he's such a gentleman.

"Well now you do. You're invited in. Come on in."

He hesitantly stepped his foot in the house, but once he did, he seemed calmer. With the sound of his voice, Mother screamed, "We are watching here! Go talk somewhere else!"

With that, we sat on the stair of the porch and must have talked for an hour. Then, a dark figure came near the fence of the house. Derek suddenly seemed alarm, but I reassured him, "It's probably just a cat."

After talking, I learned a lot of things about Derek. He had no siblings, moved in and out of the states. He was now living with his aunt, whom has been living here for some time. There was this whole history: his parents had died, he only had one best friend, whom he lost, and more. At one point, he got awkward at answering questions. Later, at 7, he left with his motorcycle, whom he calls "Lexi".

Two minutes after he leaves, I see a shadow creeping through the street. At first, I almost walked inside, because I thought it was just a cat or something but suddenly, I was pulled by the shoulder, and I was face to face with him.

"Aria, what a surprise!" He said with a smirk. A smirk that had fluttered my heart. A smirk that created butterflies in my stomach. A smirk that made me want to kiss him right there because of the way it was badass.

"Alex." I gasped out, trying to control my breathing. Not because he scared the shit out of me. But because he was less than an inch away from face, and my thoughts were Hell, kiss me!

Hi you guys! Did two chapters in two days: that's a record for me!

Now they both are short so deal with it!

So Team Derek or Team Alex? I have a feeling you guys hate one of them...

Now for the shows in the beginning, I do watch them but I especially talked about The Walking Dead because Aria won't realize how much she'll relate to the characters. And also, if you don't know what TWD is, google it and watch it! If you are scare of zombies don't.

So, no one reads my other books, they're just going to sit there. Hopefully, someone will decide to tell the whole world and ill write in those too. I have so many ideas for plots, I don't even know if I could do it all.

Those of you who do read my books, please recommend the story if you like it. Then, everyone will read my other books and I will be appreciated! That's it for today!

Ta-ta! (Another way of English?)
