You're Not Enough

Chapter 85

"You've seen one vampire movie, you've seen them all. All vampire movies have the same storyline." Caleb says. "Mystery guy comes into town. A lonely girl moves to a new town, whatever the case may be. Fast forward, somehow, a love triangle gets into the storyline, and then, later on, the girl will want to be a vampire, but the boy doesn't want her to be, some villain gets thrown into the story, and the two guys do whatever to protect her." He rambles, and I just listen. "Oh, and let's not forget the girl always loses her parents or a parent, and in Twilight's case, she has divorced parents." He turns the car left onto my street. He looks at me. "They're all the same!"

"Thats not true." I laugh the words out, still denying that all vampire movies actually have a similar plot.

"It isn't?" he looks over at me.

"Okay, maybe it's a little true." I motion my thumb and index finger close. "But they each have their own uniqueness."

He jokingly rolls his eyes. "Mhm," he pulls up to the front of my house and turns the car off.

I turn my body towards him. "Since you didn't like the movie. Does that mean you wouldn't watch another one with me?" Like a child, I stick out my bottom lip.

He grabs my waist and pulls me even closer to him; my stomach flutters at the contact. "Id rather watch you," he says in my ear. I giggle like a child at his words. He looks at me and then leans forward, giving me a light, passionate kiss.

It's different; it's not like the kiss we shared earlier. I pull away from him and look down. I can't do this. "What's wrong?" he asks me. I stay quiet. I don't know what to say. Well, I do, but I can't say it. How can I tell him that I want to die, that I have nothing to live for?

How can I tell him that he's not enough for me?

"Caleb, I..." my phone buzzes. I look back and pick it up off the seat.

*Call me...NOW! -Travis

I look back up at Caleb. "Uh, I have to go!" I say frantically. I slide back over the seat towards the door.

"What? Are you okay?" he asks me.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, really," I assure him. He doesn't look convinced. I lean over and give him a quick kiss. "I'll call you tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay," he says.

I smile at him and then open the car door; he waits until I get into the house to pull off. I turn my phone on and look for Travis's contact. What does he want? Before I can hit the call button, my dad appears from his office. "Hey, your back!" he says. "Did you have fun?"

I shrug my shoulders. "It was alright."

"Well, that's good!" I take the case off my phone, grab the two hundred dollar bills out, and try to hand it to him. "You keep it, Jay."

"Dad," I whine.

"You can use it for gas money," he suggests.

I didn't think about that. I do need gas money. I still have half a tank left, but it won't last long, especially with me having to travel back and forth to school now. "Did you talk to mom?"

"Yes. She is um," he puts his hand into his pockets and looks away from me. He looks back at me. "She'll be home soon." He says.

"Uh, okay. Well, I'm going to go get ready for bed."

He places his hand on my shoulder. "Alright, well, I'll be down here, catching up on some law and order." His favorite TV show.

"Okay." I walk away past him and go upstairs to my room. I take off my clothes and hop into the shower.
