Chapter 12:
Damien
I look up and see Carly standing in the doorway, hands over her mouth. She'd just seen me kissing Melanie, "Carly..."
She runs out of the house. I stand up and sprint out after her. Her car is already half way down the street. I stand in the rain, Melanie comes after me, "Who was that girl."
"My friend."
"She looked really surprised. Good thing she's gone. Poor baby," I glare at her, then leave. Back in the house where I'm sure I broke my best friends heart.
Carly
I enter my house crying. Just this morning, I thought Damien was in danger. How terribly wrong I was. Trying to save him, only to find him kissing some vampire assassin. One who would kill me if she got the chance. How low can he get? This is the worst day of my life. All the other times I said that, I was wrong. This day tops all the others. Today I found that I love Damien. Always have, too scared to admit it. Yes, I'm a vampire, he's a vampire hunter. No I don't have to drink blood. I'm half human. How could I be so stupid?
I lock the door to my room, I refuse to come out. My phone rings, Damien. I throw it against the wall. Then I start bawling like a baby. I don't care if anybody sees me, hears me, if I die. In fact, right now I want to die. Crawl into my closet and never come out. Damien, Damien, Damien. Why? I fall asleep, let the darkness swallow me.
***
I wake up, my stomach hurts. I'm starving, so I creep downstairs. Aunt Ginger is still sleeping, thankfully. I eat then sulk back to my room. Jake. Just a crush, hate him. He made this happen. Who am I kidding? I did this to myself. I couldn't admit that night that I. Love. Damien. I do, with all my heart. I did this to myself. Damien doesn't love me anymore. I fall asleep again. Crying, still. I dream of Damien. It goes on like this for days. Depression hurts. That commercial was right. Another fact, vampires can be depressed. Of course they can, anybody can. Who came up with these stupid myths. Vampires can't go out in the sunlight. Jake does everyday. Yes, another fact, Jake is a vampire. I figured that out. That's why they hate eachother so much. Don't blame 'em. I'd hate a stupid vampire assassin if he wasn't my best friend. Too bad I don't hate Damien.
Damien
I hate myself. Carly hates me. Kyle and Melanie hate me. Life is so stupid. I hate this. I hate everything. Wouldn't be surprised if she never forgives me. I didn't wait. I promised myself I would but did I? no
I try calling her. She doesn't pick up. Of course she doesn't. I am an idiot
***
She won't pick up. I've been up all night calling her. I bang my head against the wall. Kyle ignores me. He knows what I did. Everybody does.
