        I don’t know if I was doing the right thing or not but I had to get it over with. It had taken me a lot of confidence to call Silas for the first time after the party. When he didn’t pick up I called him two more times. I had been slightly agitated when he didn’t pick up on the third call so I decided to ignore it and move on with the day. When he finally called me back, all the courage I had from earlier had faded away and I had to muster all the willpower I had to not ignore the call. When I answered my phone, I wasn’t prepared for the sound of his voice. I could tell that he had just woken up awhile ago because his voice was lower and sexier than usual. Damn he had the most luring voice I’ve ever heard. Even if I’ve never met him before, I’d fall head over heels for him by just listening to his voice. His personality and looks just made it all that much harder to stay angry at him. I knew that I couldn’t let my guard down because he was inhuman but my stomach was doing flips after he first said a word. Though my brain knew I had to be careful, my soul just ached for his presence. The thought sent me shivers. My soul obviously needed to be more careful because for all I know, it could only ache for him because he is a freaking soul eater! Even with that information, the emptiness I felt in my heart when I wasn’t around him was a clear feeling that I still loved him. Love. That word is so powerful yet people say it as if there is no meaning behind it. Silas had been the one to give me a glimpse of what it was like to love somebody. I had only known Silas for barely a full week yet I figured I loved him. The love I experienced around Silas felt like I was always being pulled towards him. At every mention of his name, my heart flutters, every time I hear his voice it’s like listening to my favourite melody. All the times I’ve seen him, my brain swirled with thoughts and the few memories that we shared. Whether it was love of something else, it was a feeling I wanted to hold onto. That is why I had decided to give Silas a chance to be himself. I wanted to know more about him, not just about his species but more about himself in general. It was odd referring him to a different species, especially an immortal creature. Every time I thought about it, I felt if I was going crazy. When I parked my car in the parking lot, I stepped out of the car and into the humid air. I wore a pair of red converse, black leggings and a white muscle tee that had a picture of the Eiffel Tower on it. Checking the time on my phone, it read 12:03pm. It was mid-day and the sun was bright and hot. I slid my sunglasses over my eyes and the light dimmed. I walked up to one of swings and sat down. I opened up Instagram and went through my feed as I started to slowly swing back and forth. Looking up from my phone I saw a jet black and tinted window Ferrari pull up into the parking lot and parked a few spaces down from my red BMW. I was the type of girl who loved cars. My sports car looked like junk compared to his shining Ferrari. I realized that my mouth had been agape while I stared at the car. I thought his car was amazing but when the driver stepped out, I felt my mouth fall down even further. Silas stepped out wearing black skinny jeans, a black t-shirt and a leather jacket. It was about 20 degrees Celsius outside; a bit too hot for leather jackets but to be honest, Silas himself was too hot for anything... He wore sunglasses as well and started to walk over to me. He looked so flawless in black. As he neared I noticed a few streaks of red in his hair. If I thought that he couldn’t get more attractive, I was extremely wrong. The colour in his hair just enhanced his beauty even more and it suited him perfectly. When I said he wasn’t as hot as Zac Efron when we had first met, I take that back. He was off the charts hot. Sensing my stares, he smiled. I quickly closed my mouth, feeling embarrassed. I don’t think he saw my mouth agape but if I had left it open any longer, he would’ve noticed. When he came to a stop in front of me, he just stood there and smiled. “Nice car.” I said trying to sound calm. “Thanks, you too.” I could tell that he was just trying to be nice because his car was far nicer than mine. The silence between us lasted a few moments until it became extremely uncomfortable. I was the first to speak. “Silas, you know how hard it is for me to accept your uh... species.” This conversation was already going downhill. That was literally the worst thing I could’ve started the conversation with. I cursed at myself for being so stupid. “Yeah” Was all he said. I shut my eyes for moment and reopened them to see Silas looking at me thoughtfully. How can somebody so dangerous look so innocent yet mysterious at the same time? “I’ve had a lot of time to think about this. Well not a lot of time but I’ve spent lots of time to think about it.” I said this time, picking out the words carefully. “I realized that just because you are inhuman, doesn’t mean you are a terrible person. I want to get to know you more before I make any decisions. I know I should just leave because let’s be honest, you are dangerous. It’s just that...” I took a pause to gain some strength for my next few words. “It’s just that I can’t ignore the feelings I get when I’m around you. You make me feel wanted and loved. I experience feelings around you that I didn’t even know I could feel for one person. Yeah you are extremely different than anybody I know-” I laughed a little from my words. “But you also helped me see a different perspective on life. The more I try to forget about you, the more lenient and in love I am with you.” When I looked back at Silas’s face, he had a warm yet unhappy expression on. “Becca, I am such a selfish person.” His words shocked me. “From the moment I laid eyes on you, I fell in love with you. Your laugh, your smile, everything about you was, is breathtaking.” Without being able to control myself, I blushed. “The moment I met you I knew that I would be a great danger to you. Yet I still tried to get close to you. From my own selfishness, I have made you experience things no human should ever come to know of. I came today with the intention of making you fall for me. But now, I know that the little voice telling me to leave you alone was right. To protect you, I’m going to leave you.” Without intention, tears swelled my eyes. I could hear the sadness and torture in his voice as he talked. “I’m sorry for everything.” He took his hand and placed it on the side of my cheek. He leaned down and pressed his soft lips against mine. “Goodbye Becca Thomas, and thank you. Thank you for everything.” He gave a small smile. It was when he was walking away when I realized what had just happened. Suddenly, the fact that he was supernatural left my mine and was replaced with him. Images and memories of Silas filled my mind and I was overwhelmed with the emotions that came with it. I was up on my feet in a moment and I ran up to Silas. “Wait!” I yelled; he kept walking. Frustrated, I picked up my speed and caught up to him. I ran right in front of him and grabbed his shirt. I stepped onto my tippy toes and kissed him; hard on the mouth. His hands moved from his pockets to my waist and my hands lifted off of his shirt and wrapped my arms around his neck. He was tense at first, but then he relaxed and let his lips mold onto mine. Our lips never leaving each others, he lifted my up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He lightly lifted me onto the front of his car and laid my back onto the metal of his car. He put a hand under my neck and supported it as my hands traveled around his torso. I was so thankful that the park was empty. His lips traveled to my chin and down my neck to my chest then back up to my lips. He started to kiss my ear and then sucked on the skin on my neck. Our lips met again and our kissed slowed. I felt his tongue lick my teeth and then I opened my mouth a little more to give him the entrance he had asked for. His mouth tasted like honey and had a hint of mint. Our tongues explored every inch of each other’s mouth and our lips kept moving in sync. Never before have had I felt so much love towards one person. When our kiss neared its end, he placed a dry kiss on my cheek and tucked a strand of my dark hair behind my ear. He was still leaning over me and seductively whispered, “I will never let anyone or anything hurt you. I will protect you until the end. When it comes to you, my selfishness overwhelms me.” His words sent a ripple of warmth into my body and I pulled him into a hug. He sat me up on the car and played with my hair. “You have such soft hair Bec.” I smiled more but his expression was serious. I could imagine what he was thinking. “When I’m around you, I feel the safest. So don’t think that I’m afraid to risk things to be with you.” “That’s just the thing Bec; I don’t want you to risk anything. I want you to live a secure and happy life.” “The only way I’ll ever be secure and happy is when I’m around you.” I caught a glimpse of doubt in his eyes but it was quickly replaced by a glimmer of reassurance. “I’ll do anything to keep you safe.” “I believe you.” And it was true. Even when I had my doubts about Silas, deep inside me, buried under confusion and anger, I knew that Silas would never do anything to harm me. He was always protective of me when I was around him. It had been extremely difficult for me to accept that Silas was supernatural but when I had thought of the happiness he brought to me, any doubt was overruled by love. I had worried about letting my mind decided on what to do about him but in the end, it was my heart that won. My mind always thought of how insane I was getting involved with him but my heart knew that it had found its place of belonging, and that was with him. My mind could disagree all it wanted but if my soul didn’t receive the love it needed, it would leave me an empty heart. I have completely surrendered myself to Silas and nobody could change that fact, except for him. I realized how vulnerable I was to him but I knew I had nothing to worry about. Nobody said it was easy to love somebody, but if you love them enough, it’s worth the fight. Love can consume a person entirely and anyone can be blinded but that is something I needed and could for sure handle. Seeing that my emotions reflected on his, I felt contempt and complete. Pulling me back into his arms, he gave me one last strong hug and said “Give me a call Becca.” I smiled and nodded, giving him a peck on the cheek. “I love you.” I said “I love you too.” He replied. Forever I had thought I’d never be able to say those words and feel such an attachment to the person the words were directed to. I love you is such a strong word that if used in the right context, it could mean the world to a person. To have somebody reflect the love you felt for them gives you the feeling of honour. It is an honour to be loved and to be loved back. With one last kiss on mouth, I got into my car and started up the engine. Smiling from ear to ear, I prepared to leave the parking lot when I felt a buzz in my pocket. I checked my phone to see a text that read -Go to the hospital right now, we’re in room 102. My smile faded and the colour drained from my face.
