-------------------------------------------------

I walked into my house and glanced at the backyard. The whole scene, my dad, was gone. Xavier had kept his word, I thought gladly. "Hmm?" I noticed the light blinking on the phone machine. I stepped over to the kitchen and clicked the flashing button.

"Sky...Answer the phone." I knew that voice from anywhere. It was Josh. I thought we decided to stay away from each other for everyone's sake. Why would he risk talking to me? "I know you're there somewhere. You have to be...Just call me when you get this." I heard him click off the phone.

I shook my head and pressed the delete button. All this is too much. All this vampire stuff and my dad...

"Sky?" It was Josh. He was standing at the back door of the kitchen. His hair was ruffled around. He had on cargo shorts and a white tee shirt. "Where have you been?" he demanded, walking up to me.

I jumped a little at his outburst, still surprised he was really here. Even though it has only been few hours, it felt as if he was gone for months. "Stop talking to me like I did something wrong. You know damn well this was all your fault."

"Sky--" he stretched out a hand to me, but I leaned away from his grip.

"Don't touch me." I said to him softly even though it was meant to come out gruff. "You killed my dad."

"I had nothing to do with that." he pleaded.

"So you knew about it?"

"No. It's nothing like that. Shelby told me she would try to hurt you in some way to get even with you." he explained. "I left it as that. Just a threat. I didn't think..."

"You didn't think she'd have my dad killed, is that it?" I ran my fingers through my hair in irritation. "You could have stopped her."

"I couldn't." He reached out for me again, still I shoved him away. "Sky--"

"No. I hate you!" I shrieked, throwing my fists at him. He endured my hits no matter how painful they were and pulled me to his chest. I struggled to get loose from his hold and let all my anger be put on him, but he kept me in a tight hug. "No!" Suddenly, I dug my face into his shoulder and began to sob. It felt like something inside me finally cracked. The anger disappeared and sadness replaced it. I hadn't realized how depressed I was over my dad's death until this moment. I was surprised at how I had kept my composure for so long.

"I'm sorry about your dad, Sky." Josh whispered to me. He kissed the top of my head. "It was never meant to be this way."

I pulled away from him, using the tips of my fingers to dry off my tears on my cheek. "Why did you come back here, Josh?" I asked. "Just...why?"

"I was afraid that you might have...hurt yourself."

"Why would you ever think that? I would never do that." I told him. I folded my arms across my chest.

"Then I guess I should leave then." he suggested, stalking for the door.

I grabbed his arm. "Wait. Sleep with me?"

"You want you and I to sleep together?" he beamed, his eyes sparkling with humor.

I slid my hand down his arm into his hand. "Stop acting like a pervert." I smiled and pulled him up the stairs. "I just...don't want to stay here alone tonight. Is that ok with you?"

"I'd do anything for you." he said.

On our way to my bedroom, I stopped at the bathroom. Light spilled out, when I pushed it open. "You know where my room is, right?" I asked him, pulling my hand out of his.

"Yeah."

I rested my head on the door pane and gazed up at him. "I'll meet you there in about five minutes. I want to take a quick shower."

"No problem." he leaned in for a small kiss on my lips.

I sighed when he stepped away. "Why'd you stop?"

Josh grinned. "I don't want to be a pervert to you, now do I?" he joked and walked towards my room.

"I wouldn't mind." I said to myself as I chewed my bottom lip. He tasted so sweet, I thought guiltily.

"Josh?" I called as I stepped into my bedroom. "Did you leave?" I hugged the towel that was around my chest. "Josh?" I searched for my light switch. When I found it, I flipped it on , I saw him on the chair beside my bed. "Why didn't you answer me when I called your name?"

"Wanted to surprise you." he grinned and stood up.

"I have to change so don't peek." I strolled over to my cabinet. I saw him turn around. "Thanks." I rummaged through it for my pajamas. I found my baggy shorts pajamas and slipped those on.

"You know, its tempting." Josh said.

"Well still don't peek." I found my tee shirt and put that on too. "Okay. I'm done."

I heard him sigh in relief, taking a seat on my bed. "Finally."

A grin crept along my face as I took a seat on the bed next to him. "Finally? It wasn't that long." I laid down on the bed. Then he did the same. My body curved into his, our hips perfectly fitting each others. He comforted me in a way no one else could. All the emotions I felt all disappears when he's next to me. When I'm just near him.

I felt his arms wrap around me. He tugged me closer to his warm body. "I'm sorry for ruining your life." he said into my ear.

"I still have you. It's not completely ruined yet." I responded.

"Don't say that." he whispered.

I turned around to face him. "Why not?"

"I've done horrible things, Sky." he leaned his forehead against mine. "Jacob--"

"That was Jacob's past life. Not you now. Ok?" I cupped his face in my palms. "You're still the Josh I know and love to me."

He smiled and kissed me. His breathing deepened under mine. I took him by the back of his neck and crushed his body against mine. "Sky." he said between deep kisses. "Sky. I don't want you to do anything you'd regret." he spit out before our lips touched again.

"But I need you." I pleaded, feeling high on lust for him.

"I need you too. But we shouldn't." He pulled his lips from mine.

I wrapped my arms around him, shutting my eyes. "You're right." I mumbled. "I just..."

He set his chin on top of my head. "No, I'm wrong. I want you so much I could barely keep myself still. I haven't gone a minute without thinking about you, Sky." he pulled me closer to him. "But I just don't think it's the right time to sleep with each other yet."

I sniffed in his scent of his soapy skin and detergent soap still left on his clothes. "I couldn't stop thinking about you either. But the Cutters and Gideons--"

"I can't leave my Cutters, Sky. They need me."

"Same as the Gideons with me. I wish I could have it both ways. Just make it simple." I sighed onto his neck, sending a shiver through his body.

"Life is never simple." Josh told me.

"Can we meet somewhere tomorrow? I have to see you."

"Where?" he asked.

"Anywhere. How about here again?" I suggested.

He kissed me. "Yeah. Sure. At the same time?"

"Of course." I licked my lips as if trying to keep the kiss inside until tomorrow. I nestled into the curve of his neck and quickly dozed off.
