From we left off with the story...  If you don't remember chapter 43, go ahead and check again. :)

Sorry again for me not being able to write here for months... I am seriously... not kidding you. 

But lucky news, I'm off school for two months for work practice and I'll be able to write more than before... <3

Tristan~ 

I groan, beginning to push Leah towards the house where Brooklyn was now. She called recently while we we're in the car and said she'd be home, thank the god's... Leah needed to tell and show Brooklyn she was home, it's the least she could do. 

"I'm not interested in showing myself to her yet. I broke her heart Tristan!" She growls at me. "I need time!" 

"You've had one month!" I growl back. "And believe me, I broke her heart before, and I got her respect and love back didn't I?" 

"I--" 

"Tristan?" Brooklyn begins to walk out and freezes when she sees whose with me.. oh... my... god. She should have waited inside, that way she wont make a scene and wont make Leah run off again! 

"Brooklyn.." Leah gasps, escaping my hold and just stands there, staring at her friend. 

Brooklyn shakes her head at her. "You... bitch." 

Holy cow, I didn't expect that. 

"Wait... what?" Leah asks, frightened, yes... she's a vampire whose got no balls. 

Brooklyn walks towards us and Leah looks at me. "See why I didn't want to come here? She's fucking scary when she wants to be Tristan." She swallows. 

"You'll live." I pat her shoulder and step back. 

"You just left!!" Brooklyn shouts when she's in front of her. 

"I had to. You know why right?" 

"YEAH! Am I staking you!?" 

"Well, not exactly... at least not phyiclly." Leah grumbles.  Brooklyn gives her a dark glare and Leah clears her throat. "I love you Brook, I didn't know you knew about vampire, otherwise I would've stayed." 

Brookyln looks at me. "Where did she come from anyway?" 

I widen my glance... "Ah... cafe." 

"Cafe..?" She narrows her eyes. "Wow... interesting, she just happened to be at the cafe with you at the same time." She crosses her arms. 

"I wont lie to you, he called me once." Leah crosses her arms too, giving me a side way glance. 

I growl at her. "Watch your fucking trap Leah." 

"Don't talk to her like that!" Brookyln shouts suddenly. 

I am shocked and step back, holding out my hands... women, we would never understand them that well, they we're just fighting for god's sake!!! 

Brooklyn~ 

I turn back to Leah and uncross my arms. 

"You left... and I thought I'd never see you again, not after the blood on your bedroom floor Leah." 

Leah nods. "My maker made me do it, to cover my steps... I've never hurt more than leaving you like that... and I'm going to make it up to you." 

"That's going to be tough my friend." I give a small smile.

"Whatever it takes." Leah smiles back. 

"Well, what are we waiting for!?" Tristan butts in again. "Group hug?" He says shyly this time. 

"Tristan darling...?" I stare towards him and his shy smile drops.

"Hey.." He says awkwardly. 

"We are going to have ourselves a talk..." I turn to Leah then. "I'll talk to you soon girl, see you later." 

"Bye you two." She waves and winks him. "Serves you right bastard!" She nods and walks off. 

Me and Tristan walk into the house and he stops in the living room and runs his hand through his short cut hair, he was nervous... and I was going to start the choke up on him right now, this instant. 

"Why did you call her and didn't tell me?" I asked sweetly first. "Hell, how did you even get to contact her!?" Okay... maybe not starting off sweet... oh well. 

"She contacted me, unknown number. And the reason I didn't tell you about it? I think you'd find that out." He sighs. "I was looking out for you!" 

"Really? I would've wanted to tell you someone called! What if Selene called me after running off?" I poke him in the chest. "Would you like if I kept that from you!? Would you!?" I shout...definitely not sweet talking here. 

"Okay look... this isn't something I planned, I told her to come back home, her maker couldn't look after her better than me, that's for sure. He did the wrong thing by taking her away..." 

"You expect me to forgive you....? As quick??" I ask sadly, I swear I was going to tear up. 

"No... of course not. But don't push me away after what I was doing was looking out for you, I love you, do you really think I'd want to hurt you? After all we've gone through?" He asks, frowning. 

I gasp and step closer till I'm up close. "What?" 

"You heard... I'm not being the cheezy type of guy who needs to repeat a apology." He scoffs. 

I smile up at him and kiss his cheek, he looks down at me lovingly. 

"What... was that?" He clears his throat. 

"Maybe I finally understood... but also maybe it's because I love you too." I say with a low voice. 

"Oh? Then welcome back." He shows me a shallow grin. 

"... Glad to be back." 

And then he leans down to give me a much needed, passionate kiss....
