Chapter 44

Warning this story is rated M for Mature...you've been warned ;)

I stared up at the ceiling. "I hate you...you know that right?" I said in a nonchalant voice. I glanced towards Zane and looked back up. "And I hate you too...but that's beside the point right now" he said sighing. I heard the door open. "So Zane did you ever.." the voice trailed off. "What are you doing here" he asked. I looked towards him, "Looks like I'll be staying for the night" I said with a sarcastic smile. His eyes went widen, "No" he said shaking his head as he looked towards Zane, "Noo...you're letting her stay here" he said with anger. "Oh get over it" I said rolling my eyes. Okay clearing I was pissed off. Being in a room with my ex and a guy I hate... yeahh, not my ideal night. "So where are you sleeping anyways" he asked looking back towards me. "Exactly where I am...on this bed" I said looking back up. "That's my bed" he said. I sprang off the bed, "Well...guess that's my cue to leave...Zane you have a pull out couch or something" I asked as I walked towards the hallway. "Just take my bed, I'll sleep on the couch" he said. I spun around and looked at him in surprise. He shrugged, "I was raised that way" he said walking towards a closet and pulling it open.

He pulled out a pillow and a cover and headed towards the hallway. He passed by me, "Aren't you gonna go to bed" he said glancing back at me. I hadn't even noticed I was still gawking at him. I blinked, "Um, thanks" I muttered looking down. I turned around and walked into the bedroom. Zaylan was laying there with his hands behind his head, without a shirt. I couldn't help the fact that my eyes wondered up his perfectly sculpted body. He cleared his throat. My eyes shot up to his. He smirked at me, ugh...you know what...on second thought I might just take the couch. I sighed and turned around, walking down the hallway. I turned the corner into the livingroom...what kind of dorm had a livingroom? Zane laid there, shirt off, hands behind head, staring at the ceiling. His brows were furrowed. I know that look, he's thinking about something. "Zane" I questioned. He looked towards me, "How do you know Zaylan" he asked. I was thrown off guard by the question, "He's um, he's...my ex boyfriend...why?" I said cautiously. He shrugged, "Just wondering, anyways what did you want" he questioned.

"I came to ask if we could trade spots" I said looking down. He scoffed, "Pshh, no" my eyes shot up to him, "Please" I pleaded. He rolled his eyes, "Fine" he muttered getting up. I ran up to him and embraced him in a hug, "Thank you" I whispered. I felt him tense up, "Stop...your ugliness will rub off on me" he said pushing me back slightly. I looked at him, "You must be forgetting I'm a vampire now...if I slap you...it officially won't break my hand" I glared at him. He grabbed my wrist, "Who says I'll let you hit me" he said tightening his grip. I pushed him back...wrong thing to do. Ugh...I really didn't think this through. He collapsed on the bed, pulling me with him.

So now I'm on top of him, both of us looking at each other with horrified looks. Not only did I just fall on him...I stopped a few inches above his face. His cool breath caressed my skin. My hair hung over my shoulders and pooled around his face. I felt a slow pulse under my hand. I looked down. He still had my hand, and it was placed on his chest. I looked up, he was searching my face. He looked towards me, and my eyes met his brownish-green ones. I froze, "Aiden" I questioned, looking at him wide eyed. He pulled me closer, "Look Nyla...I'm from your original path" "Wait...original path...this is my original path" I said looking at him in confusion. He cursed under his breath, "You must've been here for more than three weeks... looks Brielle gave me a crystal and I came back to find you." I cut him off, "You and Hayden were plotting on killing me" I spat. "It may have started out that way...but in the end  refused, that's why Hayden had Jayce come out and threaten to kill you if I didn't cooperate" he said. I shook my head, "Just get away from me" I said backing up. He grabbed my hand, and pulled me closer, "I guess I'll have to show you the other path" he whispered. I blacked out in a matter off seconds.
