Blood lust

chapter 12

Kate's P.O.V

I sit on my bed, facing the big window that's right by my bed. I realize that tomorrows my birthday. I've never really enjoyed my birthday, it always makes me think about my dad. I'm not sad about him not being here, oh no, I'm choked. I can't believe he left my mom to deal with two kids. I hardly see her, because she has to work so much. Sometimes I think I'm better off not knowing who or where he is. At least its one less person to disappoint me. My tenth birthday was the worst, because for some reason I really believed he'd show up for his daughters 10th birthday. Well was I wrong. After that I kind of just shut most people out. Never dated, even though countless boys asked me out, I think they were just trying to get to Tanya.

See I also had to deal with that, Tanya's one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen in my life. I mean come on, she's got long blonde hair, and bright blue/grey eyes. She's also got a nice body, and I mean that in the straightest way possible. Then you have me, Long dirty blonde hair, and hazel eyes with some infusions of green. I really don't think I can compair to Tanya. I don't just say she's pretty because she's my best friend.

It's like that one girl, that you really hate, but you need to admit she's pretty know what I'm sayin? Everyone thinks shes pretty.

My thoughts are inturupted by a soft knock on my door. "Come in" I say quietly. Tanya's petite frame comes through the door.

"Kate why were you crying?" she asks me. I reach up and brush mt finger across my face. I didn't realize I was crying. I sigh harshly and sink into my bed.

"Tanya you don't get what I'm going through." I say staring at my roof. She lies beside me

"I might not, but I can try, and give you advice the best that I can." She says. I smile

"You're a great best friend". She giggles softly "Well where do I start, tomorrow's my birthday, and you know how that makes me feel, always thinking about my dad, and that's upsetting as it is on its own. Im also upset about Alex. I don't think he actually likes me. I don't feel like he''ll stick around, he could probably get any girl he wants, so why would he stay here with me?" I take a breath.

"I'm probably just his fling for the week" I say sighing waiting for Tanya's reply. She bursts out laughing, yes laughing! Now of all times!

"Kate you're so stupid sometimes, I'm sorry but really? If you could see the way that kid was looking at you last night, you'd think you two were married or something" I feel a jolt go through my body. "I could practically see the chemistry between you" she adds. A smile breaks out on my face.

"R-really?" I can't help but ask.

"Mhm" she assures me. "I've never seen a boy look at you that way" she laughs. The doorbell dings in the porch.

"Can you get it? I look like shit" I say looking to my best friend.

"Okay be right back" She says hopping up off my bed. She comes back in about thirty seconds.

"It's Alex" is all she says before leaving my room again. I sigh and roll over to the edge of my bed and get up. My hair is currently in a messed up bun, accompanied by my sweats and a baggy t shirt. I hop down the stairs, feeling slightly embarassed about what Tanya said.

"Hey" I say jumping off the last step.

"Hey" he says simply. I noticed he's beside the door with it open a bit.

"Kate, theres somebody I want you to meet." he says. Shrugging it off without giving it a second thought I nod and gesture to the door. He pulls it open and I see a middle aged man standing there.

"Hey Kat." he says. Wait Kat? I feel my face flush.

"How do you know my nickname" I say harshly.

"Kate this is Eric.. your father."
