   I watch as my beloved drives away from the house, feeling the ache of loneliness sinking into my chest. I spin around and head back into my room, closing the patio door behind me. I finish getting dressed -slicking my hair back like I usually do as well as grab my cell phone- before exiting my room. I walk down the long corridor of the house, walking past the loft and down the staircase," Goodmorning guys." I greet, smiling slightly at everyone.

   " Morning Leo!" Ella greets, smiling brightly at me before turning back around a pouring a cup of blood for me. She rips open the blood pack and pours it into a mug before turning back around and lending the cup out to me," You're beloved just left; You didn't tell me he was so pretty?!"

   I chuckle and accepted the cup, sitting down on the steps of the staircase," Yeah, he really is. The most beautiful person I've ever seen." I say, letting out a dreamy sigh before taking a sip of the blood.

   Ella leans back on the couch, looking at me with curious eyes," SOOO.....did you guys mate last night or what?" Ella suddenly asks, causing me to choke on my drink.

   " E-Ella!" Levi scolded, smacking Ella's shoulder," T-That's not appropriate for you to say."

   Ella holds her hands up in surrender, giving Levi the look of fake innocence," Whaaat? I'm curious." she argues before turning back towards me," So? Did you?"

   " No, we didn't," I state, taking a quick sip of my blood before continuing," I didn't feel right; he was intoxicated and I didn't want him to feel like I took advantage of him or something. I need him to trust me."

   " AWWW!!! You're too sweet Leo." Ella gushed, causing a light blush to cross my face," But I assume you marked him? I could sense your guy's bond when he came downstairs." 

   " Y-Yeah...I did." I answer, slightly embarrassed.

   " I just can't believe it!" Ella exclaims, falling back onto the couch," This is such a big deal! You found your beloved, your soulmate! You don't know how lucky you are Leo." 

   " I do I do, and that's why I can't screw this up; if I scare him, he'll run. I don't think I'll survive if he leaves." I say, letting out a worried sigh.

   " You are so whipped," Sebastian states, finally joining the conversation as he smirked at me.

   " Totally whipped."

   " Without a doubt."

   " Shut guys..." I growl playfully, watching as everyone cracked up around me," So did Isabella and Max leave already?"

   " Yup. Max is already at the bar, and Isabella went to the hospital, saying that she had tons of paperwork to do." Sebastion answered, sighing to himself as he looked over at the pancakes he had made for Angel," What am I going to do with all with food...?"

   " W-We can still eat it, Sebastion. You know that." Levi says with his usual stutter, smiling reassuringly," Just because we don't need food d-doesn't mean we can't eat it."

   " Still...what's the point?" Sebastion sighs once more before dumping all the dirty dishes into the sink, dusting his hands off as he walked into the living room," So what are you going to do about your beloved? It won't take long till you start craving his blood, and your thirst will only get worse as time goes on. We don't need you jumping him in public or something."

   I rake my hand through my dark locks, letting out another stressful sigh," I don't know...I should try to get to know him better, get closer to him till he's comfortable with me." I state, looking up at everyone hoping they had an answer," But I don't even know his number..! How am I suppose to contact him?"
