We didn't say anything in the car as we headed back down to the city. He rested his hand on my leg, and I let mine rest on his as I looked out the car window.

His temper was getting the best of him. I've noticed it for awhile now, and it was getting worse by the day. Being in the bathroom where everything happened months ago was enough to set me on edge, but practically reliving parts of it shook me up.

We finally got back to the dorm around eleven. By then, I was exhausted. I was about to get out of the car when Andy grabbed my arm, causing me to jerk a bit. I looked at him. "What?"

"I'll flash us in." Andy said.

"Why can't we— ohh." I realized it mid sentence as I had now remembered he was still fully shifted. Andy gave a hesitant smile and I nodded my head, sitting back in my seat. He took a deep breath and before long, my body grew numb until my feet felt the hard floor.

I opened my eyes and found myself back in my room. Andy set his bag down onto the ground, pushing it to the side with his foot. I set my stuff down on the ground by the bed, and rummaged through one of my drawers for some clothes. "Are you afraid of me?"

I turned to him. "No."

"I smelt it in the bathroom, just like I can smell it right now." Andy said softly, his voice dropping. Cautiously, he walked over to me. His cold hands trailed down my arms as he looked down at me. "Why Snow?"

"I— I'm not." I mumbled.

"Don't lie."

"I— Fine. When I went into the bathroom, I got a flashback from— from that night." I said quietly, looking down at the floor for a moment. I bit the inside of my cheeks a bit, trying to figure out what I even wanted to say. "And then seeing you that angry and growling at me just triggered the same flashback."

"It shook me up a bit." I mumbled.

Andy let out a long sigh. His hands let go of my arms and he slowly took a step back. I looked at him but his head was down, looking at the ground. Andy ran his fingers through his hair as he shook his head silently.

"Andy, it's okay." I murmured.

"No— it's not." Andy muttered.

"I'm not afraid." I told him, stepping up to him. I brushed my hands along his arms and told him to look at me. His eyes flicked up to meet mine and he said absolutely nothing. I gave him a half smile as I cupped his face in my hands, bringing his lips to mine.

"I love you." I murmured, breaking the kiss.

"I don't know why."

"What do you mean?"

"You shouldn't love someone like me. Someone who hurts you and frightens you? That's not a good boyfriend Snow." Andy murmured, looking away from me. I let out a sigh— Andy was doing so well with his self confidence, and I just ruined that for him.

"Andy—"

"No, stop Snow. Look at me!" Andy said, his tone rising with anger. He took a step back as he looked down at himself, shaking his head. His eyes went back up to meet mine, his face so dull with no emotion. "I go out and murder innocent people. I drink blood to live. For christ's sake, I have red eyes and devil horns, and I'm massive compared to you!"

"I'm nothing but a monster." His voice dropped.

"Andy stop it!" I yelled at him.

"It's true, and you know that." He said, looking away from me. I bit my lip anxiously. I walked up to him and I slid my arms around him, locking him in tight. I pressed my chest against him as I held him close, letting out a sigh. "I love you Andy. No matter what you are, you know I will always love you."
