but somehow it only infuriated  me even more.

me, running away because of the pressure on our whole situation? i felt so frustrated, i could have cried. i broke away from him without giving in to acts of violence.

' i'm not qutting because i'm chickening out of the job. sure, i was shocked at first, and hoped it was just some horrible nightmare. but that nigth when i agreed to stay with you. i accepted the challenge... what i cannot take is you, getting hurt because i'm so clumsy and stupid!" i finally blurted out.

my chest heaved. my face must flush like an apple. but right then, i didn't care. 

it felt good to let out.

an odd look crossed his face, " hurt me? when have i gotten hurt because of you?" he asked.

the desire to wring my hands in frustration and rolling my eyes were strong, but i managed not to do both as i explained:

"Yes, you saved me three times, counting only the past two days. nearly killing you in the process.

i saw the way you covered your wound. so you can't tell me that vamps don't feel pain. i know how much my mistake affects you Mark, and i don't want that to happen again. i'm sorry, but i'm not just cut out for this. and you'll be better off without me."
