Natural Born Killer { n.s. }

Chapter 16

Alison's POV

I was back in Nathan's room now, pretty startled by what I just heard in Max's head. I can't let Nathan know this. He has a temper, and it flares up quite easily. If he gets knowledge that Max likes me in that way, then something might happen. Something bad. And I really don't want to see that. I'll just not think about it. As much as I don't want to keep this from Nathan, I feel like I have to, for the sake of his friendship with Max. "What's wrong?" Nathan asked softly, seeing my worried expression. "Nothing." I lied. Don't even think about reading my mind. I thought, just in case he tried to. He smirked at me, obviously trying, and finding out my little trick. I smiled back.

Max's POV

I went back into my room. I feel so stupid. Why the hell did I just think of that!! I'm such a dumb ass!! Alison probably knew what I was thinking and that's why she left so suddenly. But, what I thought up was true. She is beautiful. But I know i'll never be able to be with her, because she is with Nathan. And heaven knows, if you come between Nathan and something he loves, all hell will break loose, and you will pay the price for it. I think I can contain myself. It's just a tiny crush, nothing more. I barely even know her for god sakes! This is stupid. I thought. I just won't let it show. That should be easy...right?

Nathan's POV

I asked Ali if anything was wrong with her, she said there was nothing. I read her mind, and that didn't do anything. She has to be hiding something. I can read it on her face. I could be wrong, but I'm often not. "Are you sure there isn't anything wrong?" I asked. "I'm perfectly fine, Nath. If there was anything wrong, I would tell you." She said. "If you say so." I replied and left the subject alone after that. "I still haven't met your other bandmates. Jay, Tom and Siva." She changed the subject. "You're right. Don't worry, you'll meet them soon, trust me. Stop worrying!" I tried to be cheerful. 

"I just want to meet them so bad! Don't forget, I was always a fan of you all." She explained. 

"Well, you will meet them. It would be weird to have you walking around here and they not know who you are." 

Max already knows who I am. And I don't know if I want him to. I thought. "Yeah, it would be pretty weird, now wouldn't it?" I asked.

"Yeah, it would."

Alison's POV

I decided to check the time. It was 9 in the morning. Pretty early for Vampires, I would guess. I should go back to sleep. Maybe I'll wake up and what I heard in Max's head will have been a horrible, crazy dream. I thought to myself. "I'm going back to sleep for a while." I said to Nathan and got in bed, and went to sleep quick. I felt rather relieved as I laid in the comfort of Nathan's bed.
