Change My Mind (ON HOLD)

Chapter 6

"Wake up, sleepyhead." Harry said while shooting me his signature smile.

I sat up, even though I hadn't got much sleep. Only a few hours. Do vampires even sleep?

"I was watching you sleep." He said, managing to keep a straight face.

"What? You did not just go all Edward Cullen on me." I was seriously a little creeped out.

"I mean you talk in your sleep, and it woke me up. I think that I like you better in your sleep, you're less rude." Harry said with a smirk.

"Ha-ha. Aren't you just the funniest vampire in the world." I said sarcastically.

He looked almost offended when I had said that, but immediately shook it off.

"You have training to go through today," he said.

______________

Harry made me cover my eyes as he lead me to wherever I was supposed to be "training".

"Are we there yet?" I asked in a whiny voice. What, you can't blame me. It's like nine p.m.! No normal person should be out at this time. Then again, I'm not even really a person.

"Nope." He replied for about the tenth time.

"Are we there YET?" I asked.

"No, we aren't."

"Now?"

"No,"

"Are we-" I began.

"Yup." He answered, and I opened my eyes. We were at some party or reunion or something, there were people everywhere! It also happened to be in some person's yard.

"Harry, where are we?" I asked calmly.

"It doesn't matter, you're training will be held here." He replied.

"Oh," I said, even though I was totally confused.

It didn't seem like training would start any time soon, and there was music playing. I heard the song "As Long As You Love Me" come on, and of course I took advantage of that! I'm-or was- a teenage girl!

"Harry, come dance with me!" I said while grabbing his hand and leading him towards the other dancing people.

"I couldn't," he replied.

I fake-pouted, and he rolled his eyes.

"Only for a second," he said.

We were on the dancefloor, and suddenly the song changed to what I remembered to be by One Direction. After a few lyrics, I noticed that it was "Change My Mind", and everybody was pairing up and slow-dancing.

I looked up to Harry, and he carefully put his arms around my waist, and I around his neck. Everyone else was getting super close to eachother, but we kept our distance. We're just friends. Right? Of course!

He took a step closer and tightened his grip, so I did the same. Soon enough, he was breathing on me. His breathing wasn't stable, though.

It sounded as if he was- almost crying?

"I remember making this song." He said softly into my ear.

"Oh yeah?" I quietly asked.

"It- it's about a girl I knew. She was my best friend. She was-is- perfect. She also has the biggest heart. And a wonderful laugh." he explained.

I lifted my head from his shoulder and looked into his eyes.

"She sounds pretty great." I said with a smile.

"She is. Even though she gets a bit annoying sometimes. She is also a bit of a dork..." He said with a laugh.

"Hey!" I said acting offended.

"But that's what makes her so perfect.".he finished. His eyes were watering, and I could feel tears swelling up in mine.

"Harry, I-" I began, when suddenly I felt a terrible surge of pain shoot up from my feet to my face, especially in my mouth. I groaned and fell forward, still in Harry's arms.

"It's happening. I'm sorry, Alex. This is part of training." I looked up to see that we were behind a shed.

"What-" I started, only to wince at the pain in my mouth.

"Your fangs. You can smell the blood of the humans, and you are thirsty. You can control it, or you can let inner beast take over."

"What should I do?" I managed to ask while I felt two sharp points tear through my gums. You know what it feels like, when new teeth grow in? Well, make those teeth REALLYY sharp, and times it by like sixty, because these things grow in under a minute.

"What do you want to do?" He asked.

"Harry, I need to control it." I said while groaning. I couldn't hurt any innocent people. Last time I went crazy, I almost hurt Harry. I can't EVER do that again.

Suddenly, the pain stopped hurting.

Harry grabbed my chin and held it so that I was looking into his eyes.

"Smile, please?" he asked.

I hesitated, then smiled.

"Beautiful," he whispered.

I just sat there staring at him, and he stared back at me.

I think we were about to kiss, but we couldn't have. Best friends don't kiss, do they?

He began to lean in, and I was going to protest, but then he stopped.

"So, we better begin." He said.
