In Love?

Chapter 15 - Saved - Drama

It felt warm where I was. I slowly opened my eyes remembering what happened. I sat up slowly rubbing my eyes.

"Be careful you haven't fully recovered." I looked at who spoke. It was Vincent. He had a fire going and was poking at a fire. We were in some type of run down, old shack. I touched my head.

"Where... where are we?"

"I dont really know. Somewhere down stream from that bridge. By luck I found this place." I heard the thunder and the lighting outside. The rain was coming down hard. I started to crawl over to Vincent.

"Here let me take care of the fire." I reached my hand out and he quickly gave me the stick and back away from the fire. I chuckled. No matter how strong the vampire is none of then like fire. He stood in the corner looking out the window at the rain.

"This is your kind weather, isn't it?" I asked not really looking at him.

"Yeah it's perfect for a vampire." I nodded.

"Why... why didn't you bring us back?" I looked at him.

"When I finally got a hold of you and came above the water the weather had just gotten worse and the river started to pick up speed. You were passed out and freezing to the touch. I knew you couldn't survive much longer and certainly not long enough to get back to the house and one things for sure I couldn't warm you up and for some reason your body heat isn't doing what it usually does when its night time so I had to find a dry, safe, and warm place before you could die of  Hypothermia. I found this place and quickly found wood that was at least good enough for a fire. Starting the fire was hard though." I smiled.

"Thank you, Vincent for saving my life again." I looked down at the fire picturing him trying to start one without running away.

"Yeah well I've done it before and I know I wont stop doing it for a long time..." He walked over to me and sat by me but not very close.

"You dont have to sit so far away from me..."

"Your body isn't that warm yet and me sitting by you wont make it any better..."

"Oh, yeah sorry." That's when he snapped at me.

"Stop doing that!" I looked at him puzzled.

"What... what is it?" He clenched his teeth together.

"Stop apologizing! I... I dont mind protecting you. Of course your stubborn, angry, and upset most of the time and probably say you hate me a million times a day but as long as your sitting here with me alive I dont care how many times I have to protect you... I may not seem like it at times but I really do want to protect you..." he looked down at his lap turning torwards the fire again.

"Vincent why? Why do you continue on trying to protect me? Why why me? I dont deserve it!" Tears started to fall down my face.

"Listen Azul... I..." He didn't finish his sentence and I continued to cry feeling more and more coming.

"Listen Azul I want to protect you but I dont know if I can protect you from myself. You know how angry i can get. I dont even mean to get angry at you. I just can't control it. I'm sorry. Im so sorry..." I looked up and saw he had his knees to his chest and was crying as well. "All I do is hurt you... Every time I'm around you I hurt you! Why can't I protect you from everything! I suck as a friend and a protector!" He was crying harder now. I reached out and hugged him close to me.

"Its... it's okay Vincent! I'm here please... I'm sorry I'm sorry too." We cried together not caring at how pathetic we looked... All I cared about was holding Vincent in my arms and saying sorry the whole time for causing him trouble and pain.

Short I know but I hope you liked it and are liking the story so far as well....
