"Oh my god! You don't know how happy I am to see you again!" Amanda and Louise both squealed and hugged me tightly. I chuckle. "Wow. I feel so loved," I joke. They pull away and smile at me. "We're really happy for you, Liz," said Amanda.
"Thank you, guys," I said and hugged them again.
"You're welcome." They said. We walk down the stairs of my house and walk to the dining room. Dad was eating a veggie burger. He smiled, when he saw us. "Hey, guys. Did you see Justin? He went upstairs to see you."
I frown. "What?" I ask. He nodded. "He's upstairs," Dad said.
"Go!" Amanda encouraged. I sigh and walk out of the dining hall. I walk up the stairs and search for him. I pass Margaret's room and then stop walking. I hear moans. I frown and press my ear to the door.
"Shh. Babe, you don't want your sister to hear us," said Justin's voice. I hear Margaret giggle and moan. I burst the door open and gasp at what I see. They were naked and... fucking each other. They gasp and pull away from each other. They pulled the duvet over each other.
My nightmare came true.
"Elizabeth," said Justin, shocked. I feel tears pricking in my eyes. I look at them in disgust. A tear slipped from my eye. I run. I run away from them. I run down the stairs. I hear their shouts behind me, but I ignore it.
I got out of my house and went to my car. The front door burst open, revealing Margaret and Justin. Justin's eyes were filled with tears. More tears leave from my eyes.
I start the car and drive off to somewhere. I don't even know where I'm going. I drive and drive and drive. I stop my car by the sidewalk. Nobody seemed to be here. I get out and walk to the sidewalk. I slide down the wall and hug my knees to my chest.
I let out quiet sobs.
I cry silently. And, then, I sob loudly. I let it all out. I even scream.
After a while, there were no tears left. None, but hatred. Hatred for Justin. For Margaret. I thought, I would even tell Justin that I'm a vampire. It hurts. It hurts really bad.
I betrayed him too. Guilt parched up in my stomach and I can't think. I can't even breathe.
I take my phone out. Who should I call? Benjamin. I call him. He answered it on the second ring.
"Yello," I hear the humor in his voice. "Ben.." I let out a sob. "Liz? What happened? Why are you crying? Is everything okay?" He asked, concerned. "Nothing is okay." I reply, my voice groggy.
"Can you please just come to Main Street?" I ask. I could tell he was looking for his car keys. "Yeah. Sure. Be there in 5."
I hang up and stare off to space. My phone rang multiple times. It was Justin. I don't answer. The ringtone died out.
After a while, a black mercedes came. I get ip from the ground. Ben. Benjamin climbed out of the car and strode to me. I run to him and jump in his arms. He let out a breath and hugged me tightly.
"Are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head. He scanned my face and his face hardened. He read my mind. Uh oh.
"That son of a bitch! How dare he?!" He shouted. I flinched. His nose flared with anger. "I'm going to kill him," he said. "No. No, please. Just..." I place my hands on his shoulder. His face softened a bit.
"I'm sorry, Liz. I wish I could help," he looked down. I look at his pink full lips. He looked up and caught me staring. "Kiss me," I said.
He shook his head. "I don't think that's a good idea," said he. I look at his green eyes. "I don't care, Ben. Just kiss me."
He looked at my lips. I smash my lips against his. He kissed back. I wrap my arms around his neck, as I kissed his lips. He wrapped his hand around my neck. We pull away after a moment.
He smiled slightly. "That's the fourth time we've kissed. Do you regret it?" He asked and squeezed my hand.
"Not at all," I whispered and connected my lips with him again.
