Killing For Love

Chapter 40

Dean POV

     "You do realize that if you kill me, then kill yourself, we would be together for all eternity, right?"

     What Megan said to me earlier keeps repeating in my head.

     She does have a point after all. The best way to keep her all to myself is to make sure no one can ever get to her. And the best way to do that is to kill her, then to be with her again, all I have to do is kill myself.

     I can just imagine spending eternity with my girlfriend in oblivion....

     Not yet though. I want to be with her as mortals for a while longer.

     I snap out of my daydream, as I start up my brand new car, and back out of Megan's driveway.

     I'm a little surprised that Megan isn't super impressed with my car. All the other girls I've gotten close to in the past have mentioned that a fancy car is really attractive.

     Although, I already know Megan is not like the other girls, she's different, and I love that.

     "Where are we going?" Megan asks, as I drive out of her neighbourhood.

     "I don't know. We're just going for a drive." I say, glancing at my girlfriend with a grin.

     "Now this is surprising, even for you." She says with a laugh.

     We drive out of the town, and onto a country road. That leads to other back roads and a few highways.

     It's probably been at least a few hours, but Megan and I are still enjoying ourselves. We get into some deep conversations, and by the time we run out of stuff to talk about, it's already getting dark out.

     I find a dirt road that leads into a forest, and turn down there.

     The shadows from the trees start to creep along the car, enveloping it in darkness, making it look practically invisible.

     I drive down the road until I find a place to pull off to.

     Above us, there is an opening in the trees that lets the starlight filter through.

     Megan and I gaze up at the dark blue sky, with all the stars twinkling in it and the glow of the moon in the distance.

     This reminds me of the time at the start of summer, where I got a bunch of stuff from different stores and set up a picnic for Megan and I. It was a really fun night and I want to do something like that again.

     That's why I want to go driving, so we can find a secluded spot and watch the stars together. A part of me sometimes just wants to be a normal person, with a normal life and a normal girlfriend. These dates with Megan makes me feel that way, even for just a few hours.

     Without thinking, I suddenly say. "Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be normal."

     Megan looks over at me with a confused expression on. "What do you mean?" She asks.

     "It's just that, my whole life hasn't been normal. I had a pretty rough childhood, with angry parents. I started getting into crime in my early teenage years, which eventually turned to murder. I'm wanted in my old town, basically meaning I'm hiding from the law as a runaway. And now I have an amazing girlfriend, which I totally do not deserve." I explain, suddenly feeling very guilty.

     I look down, trying extremely hard not to cry. Yes, I've cried in front of Megan before, but that doesn't mean that I'm okay with it.

     "Why do you think that?" She asks softly, leaning closer to me.

     "I killed all of your friends, Megan. You have no one else, besides me. And that's my fault, because I'm so selfish a-and-" I cut myself off, as my voice starts to crack.

     Apparently Megan gets the message though, as she places her hands on either side of my face, and turns my head to look at her.

     Instead of saying anything, she kisses me.

     I kiss her back, feeling slightly better.

     When she pulls back, she says. "They weren't real friends anyway, Julia betrayed me, and the other two just followed her. With Branden it's a different story, because he didn't do anything wrong, but I forgive you for that, Dean."

     I smile at her, then pull her in for another kiss.

     It starts off innocent, but slowly becomes more passionate. Before I know it, my tongue is back in her mouth, but I eventually migrate my kisses down her neck, and to her spot, where I renew my fading mark.

     I release her, and am about to take my shirt off, when I hear something from outside the car.

     I look behind me, and see a silhouette of a person right outside my window.
