The Love House

The Love House: Chapter 6

Yes kangaroos. You heard me right. I fainted at the worst possible time.

At first all I see is black. All I hear is my own heart beating, but as I constantly get closer to reality I hear Damen's voice, and I'm instantly thrown into panic mode. I freaking fainted! They'll think I'm a freak! I mean really? Who faints just before a party?

Isn't it usually after the party that people faint? I mean I'm not the party expert but I'm pretty sure people faint after the party from drinking not before the party from a freaking anxiety attack.

"What do I do?"

"My mom used to always faint like this. I just usually waited for her to..come back to life."

"Okay. I guess we do that then."

I feel myself getting closer but i just cant open my eyes yet.

"Sophie right?"

"Thats my name. but everyone calls me Soaps."

" Well soaps, you know my reputation around here, right?"

" Yes Damon, I do. and I don't think it's going to be the same for this one. I think it's going to be different. She's different."

What in the world are they talking about? His reputation. ? Who's different? What is his reputation?

"I think she is about to wake."

I open my eyes and all I see is bright light. I guess having my eyes closed for so long didn't really help.

"Hey. Are you alright? I came in here and you were laying on the floor passed out and i kinda started freaking out." Damen says worriedly.

"Y- yeah. I'm totally fine. I guess I just passed out because umm I..I was hungry.?" I stuttered way too much for that to even sound a little beleiveable.

"Well..okay. I just want to make sure you're okay." He says timidly.

" I.. I mean if your hungry we can eat. I'll get you some food."

"No it's alright. I'll be fine." I pat him reasurringly on the arm.

He smiles, causing me to smile too.

"Well come on then! Ready to party?"

Noooooot really.

"Of course."

"See you two later! I have a few more things to do before I go."

"Okay. Bye Soaps."

I got up from off the floor, dusted mysf off, and made my way to where Damen was standing.

His eyes widened slightly as I de-wrinkled my dress from being on the ground for the past twenty minutes.

"What?" I asked.

"You just look...different."

"I don't know if that was a compliment or not... I- um but thank you?."

"It was definitely not an insult." He whispers loudly enough for me to hear. I think it was more to himself than me.

I smile at that, but as we make our way closer to Derek's house, I start to feel my smile fade and my heart.rate rise. I feel my hands start to shake, and I start to feel like jelly. I tell myself "Please don't faint again." and surprisingly I actually don't.

Damen holds open the door for me and immediately I feel relief.

" I don't think you've been to parties much, so I thought I'd pick you a little bit early and let all the people get here after we do."
