I stood in complete shock at the news Niall delivered to my face.

Niall and I had been in a relationship for over 3 and a half years now and I thought it was going well, but apparently not. His words, "This isn't going to work out," but that wasn't a good enough explanation for me. I wanted to fight him on it, but I knew it wouldn't do any good. Instead I thought of running away and crying. It felt like my heart had just turned to stone and fell into my stomach.

If only he'd bitten me.

I knew his secret, but I'd never told him I figured it out. 

I mean, constantly avoiding garlic dishes, constantly cold, and missing school on the brightest days of the year? Kind of obvious.

"Why? What isn't going to work? What do I need to change?" I ask, my eyes threatening to overflow with their salty droplets.

"Something's wrong Anna." He replied stroking my shoulders as if nothing had happened between us, like he hadn't just told me our love was for nothing.

"Well obviously, you asshole, you just fucking broke up with me!" I yelled at him pushing his arms off of my shoulders.

"I don't mean with you, I mean in general. Something's coming, something I can't protect you from." He looked down at his shoes with a look of disappointment.

"I can handle myself Niall," I continued, "You don't have to think you have to protect me from the world you're a part of that you keep from me. That's right I know your fucking secret, meet me in the woods in half an hour and I'll explain what I know, I wouldn't want anyone else overhearing." I said walking away. Leaving Niall to think long and hard about what secret I knew about him.
