Brighter Now

Chapter 17

"I did it. I can't believe I actually did it," Adira told her best friend. She had called her immediately after coming home from Fangtasia.

"You did? You actually broke up with Godric?" Sierra asked, shocked. She didn't think Adira would actually do it, even after weeks and weeks of telling her to do it.

"Well, I wouldn't call it breaking up but I let go of him," Adira explained.

"How did he take it? Was he shocked, indifferent or what?" Sierra asked, curiously.

"I didn't really speak with him," Adira admitted, looking down at her feet.

"What?" Sierra asked, almost yelling. It still broke Sierra's heart how badly Godric hurt her best friend, was still hurting her. She didn't officially really meet him but she remembered how happy Adira was when they were together.

"I went there, gave Godric's box to Eric, talked a little and left. That's it," Adira explained.

"How is that letting go of him, sweetie?" Sierra asked, worried, "I know how much you loved him—still love him but it's not healthy to wait for him."

"I know, S. I know that perfectly well. I could be an old lady when he gets his memories back, which is why I left him a letter on that fucking box," Adira yelled.

"A letter? I'm sorry. You know that I'm just worried about you. Even the kids are worried about you. They can feel that you aren't hundred percent okay."

"I know you mean well but I didn't talk your ear out when Oliver kept cheating on you but you kept going back to him, did I? I was trying to be understanding and now I would need a little of that understanding too. But, yes, I left him a letter so he wouldn't blame himself when he gets his memories back," Adira explained.

"I'm sorry. I just don't want you to be sad forever," Sierra said, sighting.

"I won't be. It's just going to take small steps to be even close to content. I knew I had to let go of him but that doesn't mean I need to be happy about it," Adira told her.

"I'm not being a good friend, am I? How are you?" Sierra asked, worried.

"I cried like a baby in the parking lot before driving home. I might cry even more when we end this call," Adira admitted.

"What would you say if I'd come by? Maybe bring some ice cream, chocolate and chips with me? We can watch one of those stupid shows of yours?"

"Really? I would love that," Adira said, letting a tear go. She couldn't believe how amazing her best friend is.

"We can even watch that vampire show with a vampire falling in love with a vampire slayer. You've tried making me watch it for years but I never would because it has bad acting."

"Not that one!" Adira yelled. She still couldn't watch it and not think about Godric. It was sad because she loved Spuffy and saw them all the time in her timeline on Twitter.

"What? Why?" Sierra wondered aloud.

"It's too close to my life at the moment. Maybe we could watch Charmed?"

"Deal. I remember when we used to watch it as kids," Sierra smiled to the phone, "I will go to grocery store to buy some junk food and come by after it."

"Thank you," Adira said, quietly before ending the call.

" I won't tell you where she is," the witch with long and curly blonde hair in front of Eric told him.

"You will," Eric said. Before Adira visited his club earlier, he had found out what coven the witch that cursed Godric was from but she wasn't there. Instead one female and one male witch stood in front of him.

"I wouldn't count on that, vampire. Tara is our best friend. Why would we help you?" A guy with short, black hair asked the Viking.

"Pam!" Eric yelled, smirking at the witches and Pam came to the room tracking someone behind her by a hand.

"Logan!" Black haired witch yelled from the floor.

"No, Max. You can't!" The other witch panicked.

"They have Logan. What do you expect me to do, Camille? Let them kill him just because Tara felt like she owned something to that vampire? I love her as much you do. I really do but I won't pay for her mistakes," Max explained her.

"Finn saved her. We're supposed to be family after vampires killed our families, Max. You can't do—" Camille complained but got interrupted when Eric took a hold of her neck.

"I got tired of your voice. Tell me where she is right now, Max, or we will kill both your lover and friend," Eric threatened.

"She's hiding in our local high school," Max informed Eric, defeated.

"How could you do that? Tara has always been there for us and now when she needs us the most...?" Camille asked outraged after Eric suddenly let go of her neck.

"Just shut up. You would do the same if it were your boyfriend that were in danger," Max said.

"I don't have a boyfriend, so no fear with that. Maybe you're just too weak to fight."

"Or maybe you're too obsessed with that werewolf to get a boyfriend. Just get over the fact that Nicholas is in love with Anna," Max told her, ignoring the vampires still in the room.

"Take that back!" Camille yelled.

"Can we kill them now?" Pam sighted.

"No," Eric said, turning around.

"Why not?" Pam asked sounding bored.

"Because I say so," Eric said, still walking away from two fighting witches.

"Don't tell me this is about Sookie again. I'm sick of her ruining my fun."
