It's Lilliana

I got in the car and wiped my tears. Grayson started the car and slowly backed out of their driveway.
"What'd he say to you?" He asked.
"He didn't say anything," I paused, "he didn't have to." My voice cracked.
"Well what happened? I need you to talk to me." He sounded worried.
"He has a picture of me, but like a old picture of me. How, and why didn't he tell me?" I started to cry harder.
"He didn't want to freak you out and clearly you are." He said as he pulled into an empty parking lot and parked the car.
"I'm not freaked out, Grayson. I'm hurt, really, really hurt." I said trying to control my tears.
"No, no, no. Ember, you can't get feelings for Ethan. It's too dangerous." Grayson shook his head while looking into my eyes.
"I didn't say that I had feelings for him!" I yelled.
"Your eyes, and your thoughts are telling me otherwise. You may not want to admit it because you have a boyfriend or because you don't want to fall for a vampire and believe me Ember, you shouldn't fall for a vampire." He talked with sympathy.
"My thoughts? Really. I'm ready to wake up from this damn nightmare." I put my head in my hands and cried more.
"Okay, okay. Listen, I'll explain it all. It's Lilliana. That's her name. She's you parallel. You share the same bloodline. So that's why she looks a lot like you, well identical to you. Trust me though, she's absolutely nothing like you. She's insane. She's thinks the world owes her something." I interrupted him by putting my hand up.
"Wait, you say ,she's, like in, present tense?" I asked and he nodded his head.
"Just listen. We thought she died. We thought the government captured her, studied her, and killed her. We were wrong. When we came back to Wakeforest, Ethan saw you and thought it was Lilliana. He talked to you and afterwards impelled you to forget. Since then, he's stayed here. We came back and he went to school to keep you safe. He went to work where you work to keep you safe. It wasn't all a coincidence. I told him that us coming in to your life would be dangerous for you but he insisted." He finished.
"Keep me, safe? Safe, from what?" I asked now terrified.
"Her, and other vampires." He replied.
"And Ethan, he talked like he didn't know me. He wanted me to stay away from him." I spoke again.
"It was to keep you from falling for him and mostly from him falling for you." He said looking into my eyes.
"Falling for me?" I asked.
"Yeah but I think it's too late." He said and I stayed silent for what seemed like forever.
"Take me back." I finally said and without hesitation Grayson started the car and drove back.

I ran through the front door and to the room I was in earlier.
"Ethan!" I yelled and turned the corner to find him at his desk writing in his journal. He smiled and slowly closed his journal. I just stood there thinking, thinking of what to say. He stood up and started to walk to me. I ran into his arms and hugged him.
"I'm sorry." I said into his chest. He put his hand on the back of my head and ran his fingers through my hair.
"I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you when you asked me too. I was just hurt." I said again.
"Stop apologizing. I should've told you about her." He said and I pulled away with my hands around his neck. I looked into his eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me you already knew me? Why did you impel me to forget that we talked?" I asked and his eyes went wide.
"Grayson told you everything?" He asked and I nodded.
"Then why are here, with me. Why don't you hate me?" He asked.
"Why would I hate you?" I asked.
"Because, I pretty much lied." He said shaking his head.
"No, you just didn't want to hurt me and that's okay." I said hugging him again we stood there forever in each other's arms. Until my phone rung. I got my phone out of my back pocket.
"Matt." I said, forgetting that I even had a boyfriend.
"Yeah you better get that." Ethan faked smiled and sat down at his desk to continue writing.
"Hey" I answered.
"Hey" he replied.
"What you need?" I asked wanting to get off the phone.
"Just to talk." He said.
"Oh well I'm trying to finish my homework. Can I call you back?" I asked.
"Yeah. Love you baby." He said.
"Love you too." I replied but not feeling the same thing. It didn't feel like I meant it. I hung up the phone and walked over to Ethan's bed before collapsing on top of it.
I listened to the sound of his pen hitting paper.
"Can you hear what I'm thinking right now?" I asked.
"No." He replied.
"Then, how do you hear my thoughts?" I asked another question.
"When I touch you or when I look in your eyes." He replied again and I gave him an "oh" in response.
-
I woke up under Ethan's blankets still in the clothes I had on last night. I didn't even mean to fall asleep. I propped myself up on my elbows and looked around.
"Morning." He said as he walked out of the bathroom in only a towel. I raised my eyebrows as he walked by. I fell flat on my back and took a deep breath.
Damn, he's so hot? I'm starting to question if I even want to be with Matt anymore. Why does he have this affect on me?

Alright, I lied. Tomorrow might be the day something very important happens. That could also be the day that I won't be able to update. And then I won't be able to update for a long ass time. I love y'all!! ❤❤❤
