Chapter 10

We ended up on the dancing floor, slow dancing. I rested my head in his chest with my eyes closed. His rested softly on top of mine and allowed no space between us.

“So how long have you been dying over our little secret?” He asked sounding curiously.

I looked up to see him looking at me with a curious expression on his face.

“Umm… maybe… well, for the entire time I have known you….. Ha ha… I’m pathetic.” I laughed.

But surprisingly he didn’t join in. he just looked at me.

“What?” I asked him, turning bright pink.

“You aren’t pathetic. Because I wanted to tell you too.” He trailed off.

He looked at me in am awe moment and then the song ended. We walked over to the table with his family. They sat there, recovered and curious.

“So how long have you been a vampire?” Liz shot at me as we sat down.

“Liz!” Garrett snapped at her.

“What?! I know I am not the only one who wants to know!” she explained bursting out of her skin.

No one answered.

“Well,” I began,” I having been a vampire for 2 and a half years, but my brother Jake became one 3 years ago.”

I answered her question.

“So, what about your parents, and your other brother? Do they know anything?” she asked with her eyes burning with curiosity.

“Um, my brother Jason Knows because I almost…” I trailed off, “Well, I was very young and my mom and dad don’t have a clue but I can’t stay with them much longer otherwise they will start to notice that I’m not aging and Jake is in collage so if I can graduate at the end of the year then I plan to go straight to collage and not even stay for like a month in the summer time.”

“Other than that, no, my mom and dad don’t know that I am a vampire.” I added softly in the last word.

“That’s interesting.” She looked like she was pondering in my speech

“What’s interesting?” I asked in questioned.

“Well, we were thinking” she started

“But I interrupted, “NO NO!!!! I have caused to much damage, and I won’t let you get hurt any further.” I looked at each of their face, not wanting let go, but I knew that it was best, for me and them, even… Garrett, “I’m so sorry, if I have caused any problems. I guess this is goodbye for now. I hope to see you someday.”

I started to walk away from there surprised faces. Garrett’s face was hard to walk away from. Hurt and pain all over it. I could feel the depression sinking in. but then something caught my arm and spun me to face him. I couldn’t see his face though because my thick tears but I tried to pull away even If I am a vampire, he would be 3 times as strong because of the extra muscular arms and thick bolding but soft and gentle hands.

“Please don’t make this harder than it already is.” I cried harder putting my whole weight on pulling away.

“What do you mean goodbye. I’m not going to let you go. I won’t do it,” he said in a stern voice, but softly in my ear, “I love you, and I don’t want to let you go. No, I won’t let you go because you being a vampire. I want you and i want to keep you, forever.”

I looked up trying to make sense of what he was saying. I knew he liked me but how could he love me? I couldn’t figure out why he felt like that. I knew I loved him but I was afraid to tell him. It felt like I’d known him for a long time, but the truth was I had only known him for 2 weeks, no more than that.
