Forced To Buy A Vampire Slave -Chapter 17-

Chapter 17:

I had some difficulties but eventually got tickets for a concert a few hours away.

Corey was thrilled, even more when I let him drive. Like I wanted to drive for 4 hours anyway.

Over all the concert was quite fun, I could tell Corey had a blast. The only problem was that we got lost and my car broke down on the way back, so Corey and I were now stuck on the side of some road. The odd thing was Corey was still in a good mood.

I sat in the passenger seat of the car, my cell phone held to my ear as I prayed to god that Drake would pick up at 3 in the morning.

But of course he didn't.

I sighed and hung up the phone, I placed it on the dashboard.

"No luck?" Corey asked.

"No. We're going to be stuck here all night!" I replied.

"Calm down Arabelle."

I looked over at him, "I don't want to spend the night on the side of the highway."

"Well neither do I."

"I don't feel safe." I said.

He laughed, "You don't feel safe? Have you forgotten I'm a vampire? I'm practically invincible."

"Yeah, you are." I said putting emphases on you.

"Yeah well that means I can protect you." He said.

I raised my eyebrows, "Would you?"

"You don't think I would?" He asked slightly shocked.

"I don't know what you would do."

"You really think I wouldn't protect you?"

I shrugged.

"It's sad that you think so little of me." He said.

I thought he was joking but he looked completely serious.

I sighed, "I was joking."

"No you weren't, you were completely serious."

"Okay, I was a little."

He looked away, out the window.

"I'm sorry Corey but what did you expect? I mean weren't you the one who said you didn't want to be friends?"

"That was a long time ago." He muttered.

"It was like a month ago."

"Whatever."

"Are you seriously upset?" I asked.

"Yes. You obviously don't trust me at all." He said now looking at me.

"I do trust you..." I replied. Dammit, I didn't mean to sound that unsure.

"You sound so sure." He said sarcastically.

"I do trust you...just to a certain extent."

"Do you really trust me?"

"Yes."

"Would you trust me with your life?"

I bit my lip, should I lie or tell the truth?

"...I don't know. Would you trust me with your life?" I said.

"Yes." He answered.

I was shocked, "Really?"

"Yes, but now I'm not so sure."
