Call me your Master

Tell me why

The car ride was silent. Andy didn't try to touch me or comfort my obviously panicked self, the only comfort being the soft music playing. Part of me was very aware that he was probably going to kill me but another part was telling me he would never hurt me. My head was so loud I was surprised he couldn't hear my swirling torrent of thoughts. What had Amy meant a part of Juliet's soul was in me? And did Andy know? Also who the fuck was this Juliet person?

We parked in the same place i realized as the night after the show. The beautiful hill over looking LA. I felt myself glued into place as he got out of the car and started walking at a leisurely pace towards the overlook. He knew i'd follow, he knew i wanted answers if he had them. He must.

After trying to calm and get my thoughts in order, i got out of the car, heading towards where i knew he was. When i got over the hill and saw him, he was pacing and running his hands through his hair. His shirt was partially unbuttoned at the top and he looking dangerously sexy in the state he was in. 

Stop thinking that. Focus. 

I cleared my throat and stopped a good distance away from him.

"Who's Juliet?"

Not the thing he thought i was going to say, because he stopped like a deer caught in headlights. 

"How do you know that name?"

"You said it last night when you were asleep. I also overheard your mom talking about her with Stacy."

Silence. I knew he was debating on what to say, probably how to spin a clever lie to make this seem better than it was. He paced in silence before looking out at the city.

"She was the love of my life." His words seemed choked and I hung on every one. "She died a very long time ago because I couldn't protect her." The silence seemed to be endless and I could tell there was more he wanted to say that wouldn't come. 

"But why," I slowly took two steps closer to him "did I overhear your mother say part of her soul was in me?" 

His temper flared and when he turned I jumped in fear at his glowing eyes and protruding fangs.  "Because no one in my family knows how to keep their mouth shut. Yes, a part of her soul is apparently inside you to my surprise. I have no idea how exactly but it's true."

"How long did you know?!" My voice raised in anger I too couldn't control. Whatever I thought he felt for me was suddenly crashing down because If the woman he loved was inside of me, that's who he felt it for. Not me, not the girl who had fallen in love like a fool. 

"I would leash that temper little one before I bend you over my car and punish you." Just like that, the anger he showed me was gone and the suave vampire dominant came back out. "I have no obligation to tell you anything more." 

He reached to grab my arm I assumed to pull me towards the car but I moved away before he could touch me. I snarled "Tell me or i'm not going anywhere with you."

"Then don't. You can leave this agreement at any time."

He was serious. Whatever I wanted him to say, whatever I wanted him to feel had melted away. I'd imagined it. I'd clung on to any hope and I made it up in my head. Why else would he be so cold?

"I'm done."

I pulled the necklace with is initial from under my dress and threw it at him. He watched it hit his chest and then the ground without trying to stop it. 

"I'll have Cedric bring your things to your house then. I can drive you back to your place if you want."

I could feel the impending breakdown looming, but somehow I kept the tears at bay. Barely.
