Waking up seems a little easier as the horror of nightmares seems to drift away. I don't remember what they were about, I just remember they were scary. Xavier. His names comes to my head almost as if it was there to begin with. I wonder where he goes anyway. Probably to his house. I roll my eyes at myself before getting up out of bed and deciding to get dressed. The weather today is dry but chilly. So I decide to wear my red long sleeved shirt with my black leather jacket and a pair of dark denim jeans, along with my black combat boots. I leave my hair in it's natural wavy state and decide against wearing make up, then I go downstairs to the kitchen and see my mom shuffling around and making some coffee.
" Morning mom." I say. She smiles before replying;
" Morning sweetie."
" Is it okay if I go to The Rack? I heard they were hiring." I ask, hoping they actually are. The Rack is a small cafe in town about 15 minutes from here. She nods with a smile.
" Sure." She answers. " Here." She gives me the keys. " Just be back by 1, that's when I need to be going back into work."
I nod with a smile and grab my phone and purse before going out to the car. After buckling up, I turn around then go down our driver towards the road. Then I drive to The Rack and pull into the parking lot that seems to be growing with cars. I park close to the entrance then make sure to lock the doors before going in. The smell of coffee and breakfast wafts up to my nose. Glancing around I see that it's filled with mostly elderly people with a few young adults. I make my way to the bar counter and sit on the stool, waiting to be greeted by one of the workers.
It isn't long before a women, who looks to be in her early 50's or around that age, greets me with a warm friendly smile. I smile back kindly.
" Hello, welcome to the Rack." She says with a soft yet strong voice.
" Hello, Could I speak to the owner please?" I ask somewhat nervous. She smiles.
" This is she, the names Daisy. How may I help you?" She replies.
" Oh, Well Daisy I'm Lila." I start, she nods for me to continue. " I was wondering if you are hiring. I need to start a job and start saving money for college." I say, hoping I don't sound awkward or weird.
" Well I could use a little more help around here, sometimes it gets busy. Have any experience? Are you still in school?" She asks.
" I graduated last summer and I'm sorry but I can't say I do but I'm a fast learner." I smile reassuringly. The lady, known as Daisy smiles.
" Any days you wouldn't be able to work?" She asks. I shrug with a smile.
" I'm usually not really busy, so any day you'd like would be good." I reply honestly. Let's hope my mom will let me, she probably will though.
" Alright. How about you start tomorrow at 11 AM to 5 PM?" She asks. I smile with a nod.
" That sounds great. Thank you so much!" I smile, she laughs with a nod. " See you tomorrow Daisy."
" Take care Hun." She says as I get up. I nod before walking out and back to the car.
Once I'm in the car I check the time, 12:30. I speed out of the parking lot and drive back home. After making it into the driveway, I park it and get out. I go inside and see mom sitting on the couch, probably waiting on me.
" Hey mom, I got the job. I start tomorrow 11 AM to 5 PM." I say, she smiles and stands up.
" Oh really? That's great!" She says. I smile with a nod.
" Could you maybe drop me off tomorrow and pick me up? " I ask. She nods.
" I will try. I gotta go Lila time for me to go into work." She replies.
" Okay thanks. Love you mom." I say.
" Love you too!" She says going out the door.
Almost as soon as she left my phone buzzed. I check it and It's a message from Xavier.
Hi...Look out your bed room window. I smile before going up to my room and I look out my window to see him standing there with a small box. I smile once again then open my window and call out:
" Come on inside." He smiles with a nod and leaps up to my window and grabs it causing me to jump back, which causes a nervous laugh. He crawls in and closes my window back, then turns to face me.
" You look good." He says smoothly with a smirk. A blush creeps it's way onto my face.
" Oh thanks." I reply. He laughs and sits on my bed.
" Comfy." He says with a wink, causing my blush to increase. I sit down on my bed beside him and take my jacket off. He smiles at me and I smile back.
We just look at each other for a few seconds and he starts leaning closer. I know that he's going to kiss me but I can't seem to move. Well I don't want to move. I look from his blue eyes to his pink full lips as he gets closer to me. Then it happens, his lips meet mine almost as if they were drawn together. He grabs my waist pulling me closer to him and kissing me deeper. There's a rush of energy that moves through me and I find myself getting closer to him, kissing him back just as much as he is to me. He pulls away and looks at me, his eyes have gotten much darker. What does that mean?
" I- I'm sorry." He says standing up. I try catching my breath to speak but he's gone before I can get a word out. What the hell?

Vampire[EDITING] A heart beat is what keeps us alive. By definition, it is the pulsation of the heart. Without it we're nothing, we're dead. Well at least that's what I thought...
