Chapter thirty
Dana's P.O.V.
My heart was pounding, and I thought it would explode right out of my chest.
With this happening, I thought it meant that I loved Vincent again. I've read so many books, watched so many movies, and apparently this was the time where I was supposed to love him again automatically.
But I didn't.
I know that sounds crazy, but that's the way I feel. The heart pounding was just out of fear, and fear alone. I had no romantic feelings for Vincent at all.
I was watching Vincent, to see what would happen next, and as I was doing so, I saw his face fall, and he looked so upset and sad.
That was when I realized he could read my mind...so he heard everything I just said.
I looked down in shame, and fear, waiting for Vincent to kill me or something.
But he never did. I should have known that he would NEVER kill me, or hurt me in any way. He told me he wanted to kill me, out of sadness and hurt. Vincent loved me, he would never betray me like that.
Yet I did. I had to do something, to make everything right again. But how?
I took a careful step towards Vincent. His eyes burned into me as I walked closer to him. "Vincent," I said carefully. I had to pick my words perfectly. "I loved you. I truly and honestly did. But I'm not ready for YOUR kind of love...teenagers change their mind constantly about things. But I just happened to change my mind about you. I cheated on you, I'm so SORRY for that, there was no excuse for my behaviour. You love me, and for that, you have to let me go." I finished my speech, and took a long deep breath. I was so scared of how to react.
I peeked up at him, and he was frowning. That was a bad sign...
"No it's not. I don't want you to be afraid of me. I won't hurt you." He said. I didn't understand what he was talking about, until I figured out he was answering the questions in my head.
I stared at him. "You deserve someone better that me, Vincent. I can't be with you."
He didn't seemed hurt by my words. He accepted them, but not in a way that he was going to listen to me. I think he had something more on his mind.
"We'll see." Is what I think he said. He was so quiet in saying them I couldn't be sure.
I was still looking at Vincent trying to figure out what he meant, but I was interrupted by Lauren's hissing evil voice. "Very touching. Honestly. But right now, can we focus on ME FOR ONCE?" She shrieked. Obviously, Lauren had some deep emotional issues.
Vincent directed his attention to look at her. His eyes narrowed. "Lauren? That's where I know that name? You're my...sister?" He fumbled with the last word.
She rolled her eyes and started clapping sarcastically. "Yes, very good job Vincent. Obviously, you're wit hasn't changed a bit."
Vincent grimaced. "Why are you doing this? I did nothing to you."
Lauren growled. "Yes you did. Don't you remember how our lives used to be? We were best friends, I loved you so much, my big brother. I would do anything for you. I turned into a VAMPIRE to find you! And then I didn't find you. I ruined my life, FOR YOU!" She shouted hysterically. She was defiantly on the verge of killing someone.
Vincent stared down at her. "No. I didn't make you do anything. You chose this life, for yourself. I didn't choose this life, if anything, you DESERVE what you got." He spat.
Lauren's face was pained, Vincent's words hurt her so much. "How can you even say that to me? We are brother and sister! You left me! You should be trying to make it better!"
