Dear Journal,

I still don't think the group knows. Its been a few hours since I found out. I want to protect Jack at all costs, but, I also don't want to keep secrets from him. Yeah that'd go over great. 'Hey new boyfriend, who I love dearly, I'm a vampire and the group nearby might try to kill you because you came to town then one of them got killed.' Yeah he'd put me in a mental hospital. Then I'd probably die. No. I can't tell him, just protect him. For as long as possible.

I shook my head and put my journal down. Maybe one day, when this is all done and through, I can tell him. After all, I did get to tell him I loved him and that worked out well. Mostly. I felt him climb onto the bed and wrap his arms around my waist from behind me. He leaned his chin on my shoulder and kissed my cheek.

"Whacha doin?"

"Mmm. Nothing much."

"That a journal? You writing about your ass of a boyfriend who didn't realize you said I love you?"

"No no. Baby its okay. It was really sudden. I didn't expect you to say it right away."

"Well. I do love you."

"I love you too."

I turned my head to the side and gave him a kiss. I cupped his cheek in my hand. It was a sweet kiss, slow and loving. He pulled away and rested his forehead against mine. He smiled and shifted so he was sitting next to me. I smiled lightly and pressed my lips back to his. This one was different, still sweet, but needy. He tangled his fingers in the hair on the back of my head. I knew where this would end up. After yesterday, I don't know if I can do it. I pulled away slightly.
"Wait Jack. I-"
He shook his head and pressed his lips to mine. He shifted again, so he was sitting on my lap. He pulled me closer to him. I kissed back slightly and moved him off me.
"Hey hey listen. I want to. I really do but, I don't-"
"I've never done it either Mark. I want my first time to be with you."
"That's not what I meant Babe. I just, I'll be right back."
I did want to. I kissed him quickly and stood up. The only way I could control myself. I ran quickly downstairs and opened the fridge. It was full to the brim. I pulled one out and drained it. This man, was going to be the death of me.
Jack's p.o.v
I don't understand. Why would he flake out like this? Twice. He says he wants to, but he doesn't act like it. I wish I knew what was running through his head. I glanced to the side. His journal. No. That's his personal stuff. I can't. I don't even know where he went. What could he be hiding that's so horrible? I reached over and grabbed it lightly. I shouldn't. I opened it to the last page.
'Dear Journal,
I still don't think the group knows. Its been a few hours since I found out. I want to protect Jack at all costs, but, I also don't want to keep secrets from him. Yeah that'd go over great. 'Hey new boyfriend, who I love dearly, I'm a vampire and the group nearby might try to kill you because you came to town then one of them got killed.' Yeah he'd put me in a mental hospital. Then I'd probably die. No. I can't tell him, just protect him. For as long as possible.'
No. No. It can't be. He can't be. No. I flipped to another page.
'I've kept a secret from everyone. From my Markiplites. From my friends. From the one I've fallen in love with. I'm not so sure that he feels the same but I have fallen in love with him. Which is something I've never done before. As much as I love him. I can't tell him. I can't tell my Jack my secret. Each time I see him it is harder and harder to keep it from him.'
How long? How long has he been like this?
'He moved in. He moved to America. And if that wasn't hard enough. He moved close to me. I could practically smell him. I told him I'd stop by his house later. I don't know if that would be such a good idea, considering, I love him. And that his blood smelled so intoxicating I don't know if I would be able to hold back. I don't want to hurt him. I don't want to take his life away from him. I want him to have a happy normal life. But, I also want to dig my fangs into his neck. I want to feel the life draining out of him. I want to live with him forever.'
He wanted to turn me? And I've almost- twice. Oh god.
'That was too close. I told him how I feel. Kinda. But I almost hurt him in the heat of the moment. That was too close. We made out, but I don't know what that means. Its taken me so long to get where I am now. To get to where I can drink human blood and not go on a rampage. I'm glad I have. I don't want to risk being killed with this new...thing, I have with Jack. I love him, but I don't know how he feels about me. Sure we kissed. But, that could mean he felt lonely. He could not feel the same. I would steak myself if it came to it. The last thing I would let happen is him getting hurt. Earlier he was on the phone. He said something about getting turned. Could he know about Vampires? I hope not, he could be in serious danger if he did. I want him to be safe. And I hate to say it, but if the only way I can do that is to turn him then so be it.'
That's why he, can't. He heard my phone call. I don't think I can, anything.
I put it down and stood up. I looked in the mirror. Even though, I know. I don't think of him any different. I still love him. I don't want to kill him, even though I should. I want to be with him.

I flipped the steak in my hand as the last vampire died. I had a giant smile on my face as the light died in its eyes. Mark came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Mmm. Having fun?"
His fangs were exposed and I noticed the blood on his shirt.
"Mmm. Yes, but baby, what's this?"
I pulled at the front of his shirt and he looked away. My eyes slowly changed into a different color and my canines elongated into fangs.
"You fed without me?!"

I shook myself out of the daymare. Why would my brain even come up with that? I would die before I became one of them.
