Rodney’s Pain

~

Rodney looked down at his hands, avoiding any possible eye contact with her. He had paled visibly and Amy could tell that there was definitely something bothering him. He shuffled about nervously, before he looked up at her. His blue eyes melted into hers and Amy shivered as she saw tears appear in the corners them. Rodney never cried … ever.

“Rodney?” she whispered, pulling him in for a hug.

He stiffened at her touch for a second, before he collapsed into her – his whole body shaking as he cried into her shoulder. Amy’s mouth parted into the shape of an ‘o’ as she realized that there was something seriously wrong with him. They stayed in their embrace for a few moments, until reluctantly Rodney pulled away, drying his eyes and smiling sadly at Amy.

“I love you, Amy,” he whispered, “You know I always will right?”

Amy gaped at him, her jaw dropping. “You l … love me?” Geez how many guys?, she thought, but she was flattered none the less.

“As a friend,” he corrected himself and Amy felt her heart plummet slightly. She quickly composed herself and pecked him lightly on the cheek. “Of course,” she muttered. Where had her playful Rodney gone?

“I can't not become a vampire. My whole resistance will be meaningless if I don't,” he whispered, his eyes filling once again with tears.

 For the second time Amy’s jaw dropped and she felt herself tearing up. “W – what?” she whispered. She shook her head violently. “You will turn,” she said, pulling him in for another tight embrace.

"Amy ..." 

"No, there must be something that can be done!"

"Amy!" 

"You will become a vampire. Surely you will..." 

"AMY! SHUT UP!"

She stared at him, her jaw dropping. "Yes?"

"Calm down for a moment. There's nothing that can help me become a vampire. I turned eighteen before you, even before Hannah, and still I haven't changed at all. I just have to face having my memory wiped ... you erased from my past."

He stopped, looking down at the floor again.

"Rodney ..." she whispered, her eyes stinging with tears. She shook he  head. There was no other option. "Then you have to become a vampire."

Rodney chuckled, shaking his head. "I wish it were that simple."

"It is! It can be!" Amy protested. 

Rodney shook his head. "Did you not hear Caellum? There's no guarantee that I will turn."

Amy nodded, her fangs slowly appearing from her mouth. Rodney stared at her like she was mad; he shook his head quickly. "No way! You're a vampire?!"

Amy smiled bashfully, nodding quickly. "Yeah, it kinda happened all of a sudden."

"You don't say!" Rodney said winking. Amy grinned and punched him lightly on the shoulder. "No sarcasm from you Mister."
