Brighter Now

Chapter 15

Godric didn't know what was going on with him but he (kind of at least) felt bad for what he said about Pam. It wasn't like him to feel bad about anything and he didn't want to change it either. The vampire didn't like the flashes he sometimes got while he was dead to the world; like that girl called Adira smiling and how it made him feel all tingly inside. He enjoyed fucking and biting humans, no matter if they were males or females, but to feel for them—that wasn't right.

Godric just kept running and before he knew it he was in front of Adira's house. She could smell her with someone else inside. A woman with long, blond hair opened the door and turned to Adira.

"Are you sure you will be alright now?" She asked unsurely.

"I'm fine, Alice," Adira fake smiled, "I mean as much as I can and hey! You got me out of bed and to eat something else than convenience food."

"I wouldn't call subway sandwich much healthier. I could stay, you know?" Alice asked worriedly.

"Alice. I'm fine, so just go. Your boyfriend is waiting for you," Adira assured her. Alice turned to look to the other way where her boyfriend was waiting for her.

"How about we will make him made you some homemade meal for later? I'd do it but you know I can't cook to save a life," Alice suggested, "Unless you want me to burn your kitchen."

"Alice," Adira said hitting her head to the door in frustration.

"I'm going. I'm going. But promise to call me if you need anything," Alice told her, "I don't care if it's middle of night and you need a hug."

Adira knew she would make her boyfriend drive to her house no matter what was going on. Alice would drive herself but she didn't have a driver licence.

"I promise. You don't need to worry so much, sister. It's not like anyone died. My boyfriend just lost his memory and doesn't want to be with me," Adira said looking at her shoes like they were the most interesting thing in the world

"Adira..." Alice started and Adira looked into her eyes instead of her shoes.

"Just go already," Adira sighted.

"Just remember that I love you," Alice hugged her.

"I love you too, sis," Adira hugged her back tightly.

Godric watched as Adira's sister ran to the car and kissed some guy with black hair. He couldn't decide which he wanted more to kill this girl who made him feel for something or have answers on who she was to him. Would she and Eric have the same story or would one of them be lying? Would Eric lie to him to keep that girl with a really weird name safe?

Could it really be that Eric was in love? Was he before his memory loss?

Godric didn't know anymore. He had lost too many years of his life. The vampire didn't want to feel emotions but maybe he shouldn't kill this woman either. He now knew where she lived, so if he changed his mind, he could always come back.

"Is someone there?" Adira yelled by the door. Godric decided not to show himself and the girl just closed the door.

Godric decided not to waste another thought on the girl and flied back to his child.

"Haloo?" Adira was just so tired, so she didn't look who was calling before answering. She just assumed that it would be Sierra. She knew that her friend was worried about her because she hadn't opened her door or answered her calls or text messages.

"Adira, thank God you answered. I was afraid you were still upset with me," Sookie's voice informed her. Her voice made Adira want to hit something.

"Sookie," Adira said her name unpleasantly, "Just leave me alone already. I haven't answered your calls for a reason."

"Don't be like that, Adira," Sookie whined—at least it sounded like whining to Adira's ears, "It's not my fault Godric lost his memory. You can't stay mad at me forever."

"Can't I though?" Adira wondered aloud, "I can do whatever I want."

"Of course you can, honey but—" Sookie started.

"But everything is about you, right?" Adira questioned as she walked to the kitchen, holding her phone in her left hand.

"Of course, not. You must know that I'd do anything if I could to give Godric his memory back," Sookie said, sadly.

"But you can't," Adira informed her before opening her fridge and taking a soda from there. She really wished she drank alcohol now.

"I just want your forgiveness," Sookie begged.

"But you can't have it. Days of taking Adira for granted is over. I'm sick of you taking advertence of my kindness. I should never have forgiven you for leaving me alone with vampires I had never met," Adira informed Sookie and closed the fridge door, "And now because of you I've lost Godric. Did you even listen to Eric when he told you to be careful?"

"I know I should've but Sam needed me to—"

"So, that's a no. I lost Godric because you thought you knew better than a 1000- years old vampire," Adira said, angrily.

"Just listen—" Sookie started but Adira just hang up before she put her phone down to the table and took sip of her drink.
