Walking to George's office I'm about to open the door when I hear his voice along with Mark's.

"There's something wrong with Skylar.." I hear Mark sigh.

"I know, I don't know what it is though...she was happy all day yesterday then I find her at this broken down mansion with the vampire king. She killed him...and we all know what they went through in her past life. Then I find her stood on widows peak...I'm scared she's gonna do something stupid." George sighs.

What the fuck?

Maybe I should do something stupid.

But I have a little boy and another baby on the way to think about.

"What are you doing sweetheart?" I jump at the sound of my mums voice before turning to face her.

"They're talking about me mum.." I sigh.

"I know sweetie. But they're only doing that because they're worried about you." She smiles sadly.

Shrugging I walk past her and ignore her calls to come back.

Walking back to our bedroom I lock myself in the bathroom I sit on the floor against the door and groan.

I need to shower...I smell horrible.

Pulling myself up I strip down and turn on the shower.

Hearing a knock on the bathroom door I unlock it then quickly jump in the shower.

Moments later I feel George wrap his arms around me.

He kisses my shoulder and I stay rigid.

"I'm sorry you heard the conversation." He mumbles.

Staying quiet, I feel George's arms drop from around me.

He pulls my hair out of its bun gently he washes it for me.

Closing my eyes I feel myself beginning to relax.

Hearing George hum Emilio's lullaby I smile slightly then quickly hide it.

Turning round I look up at George.

His hair is wet and is falling over his eyes.

He looks amazing like that.

Reaching up I smooth his hair back so I can see his face.

He weakly smiles at me and I return it.

"Even smiling makes my face ache.." I whisper.

His face drops and his eyes fill with heartbreak.

"I was saving this for your birthday but I'm doing this now...I have two tickets to Italy for us, I'm taking you tonight." He says stroking my cheek with his thumb.

Pushing my face into his hand I close my eyes.

Nathaniel's face flashes into my mind.

No!

Stop it Skylar!

Stop thinking of him!

Opening my eyes I stare up at George and wrap my arms around his waist.

"Thank you." I whisper.

"I love you Skylar, so so much. You really don't know how much I love you. The day I saw you covered in mud, scars and blood my heart broke but at the same time it was whole. When I held you in my arms for the first time I knew that I never wanted to let you go...I still remember how I felt when we first kissed. And I get reminded every time we kiss. Every kiss is like the first time, you have so much control over me and I love it." A tear rolls down his cheek and I feel my eyes sting with tears.

Reaching up I kiss him gently and he holds me tightly.

This is all I need.
