Carry On

Part 2

Fred didn't have any plans the next day, so she was sitting in her bed with her white computer. Today she was wearing black leggings, white t-shirt and black and white plaid shirt because she loved wearing comfy clothes as she worked. She was wearing black glasses and her hair was up in a bun. She was so focused on writing in her computer, that she didn't even notice that someone was in her house until Stark yelled her name aloud.

"What?" she asked after she let out a little scream and she dropped a pen which was in her mouth. Stark would've usually laughed at her if he hadn't been so worried about her.

"What she asks... what the hell, Fred?" Stark asked angrily and his grey eyes were almost flaming.

"I... huh?" she asked confused. She was so focused into her book's world that she was confused about what was happening in the real world.

"Were you trying to kill me?" Stark asks, crossing his arms in her bedroom's doorway.

"And I'm still wondering what you're talking about," Fred admitted, using her finger to move her glasses up. They had slid a little bit down to her nose.

"You disappeared from a vampire club!" Stark yelled, walking closer to her. Fred saved her work and closed her computer before moving it to her nightstand.

"And who made me go there?" Fred smiled at her friend.

"I did but do you know how worried I was about you? I was talking to Alec and next thing I know—you've disappeared," Stark explained, "I check my phone and you had left aggressive message to my answering machine but do you answer to my calls? Of course, not."

"Stark—"

"Who knows what could've happened to you?"

"I'm sorry. You know I wouldn't make you worry about me for no reason, right? I couldn't find you, so I decided not to fight with fate and just leave before a real vampire tried to hit on me," Fred explained, "I know I should've checked my phone after I woke up, but you know how I am when I'm inspirited to write... now where is my pizza?"

Few minutes later Stark came with two pizzas. They would split the pizza but Fred loved pineapples and Stark did not. Stark could never get why someone would need them on a pizza and Fred wouldn't get why someone didn't like them. On earlier days, when they started hanging out, ordering pizza always caused pineapples on a pizza or not- fights.

"I'm sorry that I overreacted," Stark apologized as they ate on Fred's bed.

"You didn't," Fred told him and they exchanged a meaningful look. They were each other's only family. Stark's parents were still alive but they didn't approve his 'life' choices and Fred's family? They didn't really care about her either. Fred's sister was 'perfect', so she was pretty much meaningless to them. Stark was the only family she needed and vise versa.

"You know you should hide your house key better, right?" Stark smirked at her.

"Hey! I was wondering how you got in," Fred laughed after she nudged him, "How many times do I need to find a new place to hide that key?"

"You know you should just give me my own key," Stark tried to slyly imply.

"Because that was such a good thing last time," Fred said, shivering as she remembered what happened the last time. She never wanted to see her best friend and brother that way again.

"It was one time!" Stark protested.

"You know I love you like a brother, Stark, so I don't want ever to see that again... ever," Fred told him.

"Fine," Stark sighted but then he started smiling, "now tell me about your night in Fangtasia."

"I got a new friend," Fred smiled.

"A vampire friend?" Stark asked, lifting his brows.

"No. Not a vampire but I think she said something about being—beloved of one," Fred explained.

"Don't they all?" Stark asked, grinning.

"You know I haven't met vampires before but I think it was different. They looked really in love. Unlike—" Fred started explaining but stopped when she remembered Sookie.

"What is it?" Stark asked confused.

"You remember that crazy girl from high school?" Fred asked him.

"You need to be more specific," Stark told her, "most of them were crazy."

"The really crazy one with a little too big smile and last time I heard about her, she was dating that vampire Bill," Fred explained.

"Oh yeah. I remember her. What about her?" Stark wondered aloud "What does she have to do with last night?"

"She was there and she was dumped by a vampire," Fred informed him.

"Bill dumped her?"

"No. Some other vampire. This one was sitting in a throne," she told him.

"I remember seeing that. I just didn't recognize her. You will come with me tonight then?" Stark suddenly asked.

"No," Fred told him.

"Why not? You got a new friend, saw some drama and there are hot vampires."

"You'll ditch me again for the next hot vampire you see," Fred complained.

"I won't. I promise. Actually, I want you to meet Alec."

"Why?" Fred asked, her mouth full of pizza.

"I actually like this guy," Stark admitted.

"Fine," Fred sighted. She couldn't remember the last time Stark asked her to meet a guy, so he must really like this vampire.

"But I'm not coming to see any hot vampires," Fred told him but even as she was talking, she thought about the hot vampire in a throne and sky deep blue eyes. She secretly wished that she would see him again even if she could only watch him from far, far away. The vampire seemed to have too much package to get involved with, not that she wanted to. She would meet Stark's vampire and maybe Adira again but that's it. She would never even think about Sookie's ex-boyfriend or lover... whatever they called them.

N/A: Sorry this took forever. Next chapter should have Eric again.

Thought about this chapter? Remember reviews fuel the writer.

Also if you want you can comment if you like pineapples on your pizza or not? I'm one of those crazy persons that do.
