Jackson POV
"I know more than you think" she says.

"How?" I ask curiously.

"My grandfather was a werewolf. I don't remember much because he died when I was a kid."

"What do you know?"

"That a human can die from a bite"

Then I realized something. She doesn't know about me. Or Bri. She doesn't know that vampires exist. She only knows about werewolves.

My thoughts are interrupted by Kendall.

"Jackson?"

I look at her.

"It's going to be okay." She says hugging me.

Her hugs are somehow so comforting. I know that things will get bad but somehow her hug makes all of my worries fade away. I notice that we have been hugging for longer than we should have.

"It's not going to be okay. It's not" I say.

"Yes it is. I'm going to see if any of my grandpas friends are still around and ask them if they know what to do. My grandpa wasn't that old when he died so they should still be around." She says.

"You don't have to do that" I say. Trying desperately to avoid a conversation that I don't want to have.

"What are you talking about? Of course I do" she says.

I think for a second. I really don't want her to know that I'm a vampire. Or that they even exist. I want her to be safe, and brining her into the vampire world is anything but.

I give her a nod. "Thanks" I tell her.

"Jackson?" I hear Bri call. I go running to her.

"Hey baby. You in pain?" I ask her.

"My head hurts. Can you lay with me?" She asks.

"Yea of course"

I lay down next to her on the full size bed that she is laying in. Her head rests against my chest, as I stroke her hair.

Kendall POV

I walk slowly and quietly to the room where Jackson and Bri are. I hear Jacksons voice but it's softer and more gentle. I carefully peek into the room and see Jackson and Bri laying down together.

They aren't doing anything romantic, Jackson is just stoking her hair. But the thought still hurts. It hurts because he never did that to me when we were dating. For some reason we just never got around to it.

He told me that he didn't care about her anymore. That he didn't have feelings for her. I guess he lied.

I told myself that I didn't have feelings for him anymore. But I guess I lied to myself, because I still do. And seeing them together just reminds me of it. And I don't think I'll ever get a second chance.
