What I Didn't Expect
Chapter 10
Angel's P.O.V
I was just angry. Angry like a pissed off shark. Ravenous and dangerous. I couldn't let him do this to her. I felt him punch me in my stomach. I doubled over, feigning the throbbing pain, and trying to capture my breath. I was breathing fiercely already but not hard enough to give up. I felt sweat beads form on my forehead. I felt the grass cutting through my skin. I felt the trees enclose around me. I stood up and got ready to throw a powerful punch to his face. There was so much adrenaline and power in me. I swung my arm and it hit him square in the jaw. To a human that would have broken his jaw severely but Damien isn't human so it caused him to fall back instead. He got up swiftly and with inhuman speed he ran to me and kicked me. I went flying, literally. I fell on my knees but I wasn't done yet. I ran towards him, momentum building, and was about to kick him, when I saw her. With someone else. With my leg raised, half in the air, I dropped my leg, and dropped my head. I was just so ashamed of myself. I hardly know the girl and for all I know her life isn't my business. I shouldn't be liking her; I should make her my dinner. But my mind couldn't wrap around the idea. I raised my head and looked at her. Her expression made me cringe. It wasn't one of amusement. It was one more of confusion and hurt. I snarled at Damien.
"I hope you're happy Damien. Thanks so much for all these wonderful black and blue tattoos you gave me. I'm just so grateful. Thanks." I left him standing there and decided to cut the rest of today. I couldn't stand it. This has been just so... I don't even know how to describe it. And this all has happened because of Tess. Not the feud between me and Damien. But the feud of taking care or taking away her life. Or in my case, falling in love with her. I knew her being a human and me being a vampire wouldn't work out. The best thing to do now is to put as much distance as possible. Who knew at the end this is what it was meant to be? I sighed and went to my Porsche and just sat there behind the dark tinted windows as Tess walked away with that guy. Who was he? And where was my brother? I started the car and drove away as fast as I could to my house. I went inside and just lay there on my bed, thinking. What have I done to deserve this? It wasn't like I had a choice of becoming a vampire. I never had a choice. I never did.
Tess's P.O.V
I couldn't believe it. After he told me not to be near Damien because he's dangerous and here he is fighting with him. I still couldn't believe my eyes. His leg poised in a mid air like he was going to kick him with his fist clenched. I just felt betrayed a little. But mostly confusion and hurt. I didn't understand. When he saw me he turned and ran away to his car. By then I left the scene and went back with Aiden to biology class. But something doesn't seem right about what I saw. Angel didn't seem like a person to fight with, more like cuddle and make out and... I shook my head trying to get that thought out of my head. I did remember that look on his face. Astonished, embarrassed, and ashamed. That's what I don't get though. If he was fighting with Damien then why when he saw me did his face look surprised? Ugh. Maybe I shouldn't think about it anymore. I looked over at Aiden who seemed to stop smiling when I saw the commotion happening between Angel and Damien. He just looked straight ahead and kept walking pulling my hand whenever I got left behind. We finally reached the classroom and he opened the door for me. I thanked him and took a seat. He respectively took one at the table next to mine. I smiled a little. It wasn't a big smile. Just a little one. But with this a little more perk came back to him. So weird. I don't get guys at all. They're such an enigma, a conundrum, one that I can't seem to figure out.
"Class please pay attention. I'm going to assign everyone they're partners. The person you get as you're partner will be your partner till the end of the year." The class seemed to half groan and half whoop. Me? I groaned. Why? Because if I get stuck with that girl, what's her face... ah yes, Nikki, I'm going to be so pissed off. I mean seriously! She has no manners what so ever and she thinks she's all that. Ugh. Plus she is a great example of moral turpitude. So not the person I want to dissect something with.
