Wash away the pain, just like the rain.

I looked back down so it hadn't seemed like I noticed. Fangs?
Is he some sort of vampire?

I flipped through some magazines very slowly to make it seemed like I was interested, then went to books.
I had to text Adrian at the end of his school day to let him know I was okay.
After a few hours, Dean finally spoke.

"Cari?"
I quickly looked at Dean. "Yes?"
"Are you and Adrian really a couple?"

Fuck, has he caught on?
"What? Why would you say such a thing? We both love each other very dearly."
Don't laugh, Cari, don't laugh.

"I don't believe that for a second. What's the deal here, why are you staying here?"
I looked down. Fuck, why'd you hesitate?
"...I don't know what your talking about."

"Ah, there's a pause. You're lying."
"N-no I'm not." Why Cari? WHY?!

"Okay. Okay. You're not gonna tell me if I ask you, that's fine."
Thank goodness-

He sat on top of my legs and leaned towards my face. "What're you-"

He put a finger to my lips. "I'll just force it out of you."

Adrian's POV

I told Cari to text me when school was over.
Dammit, I knew she couldn't stay with him.

"Dyl."
Dyllon looked at me. I pointed in the direction towards home and mouthed "trouble."

He nodded and started his car.
"Melia, Joshua! Dyllon and I have an appointment so we cannot go to the mall today."

"Oh. No problem," Melia responded.

I hopped next to him and we drive as fast as the legal limit would let us.
I got out of the car and kicked the door open.
"Dean, where the fuck are you?"

Dean walked down the stairs, his hands behind his head. "I swear officer, I did nothing wrong."

"Cut the crap! Where's Cari?"

"Oh, you mean your fake girlfriend? She's in her room. Her hair's a little damp from the method I was using to get her to spill the beans."

"You fucking bitch!"
I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him the wall. "I told you not to go near her."

"Bro, you know you can't fight me. You'll die if you get me past my cool point but since when has that happened?"

"What are you acting so calm about this? You know what you know so why are you so calm?"

Dean closed his eyes and sighed. " Oh, because I found what I'm looking for."

Cassie's POV

"Ms.Lynn, are you in here?"

I combed my fingers through my hair, it was still wet.
Dyllon trusted me not to tell anyone about this and now I blurted it out to the person Ian hates the most.
