" Can I go to the gala?" I asked." No." She doesn't even think about it , just deadpans on her rejection." Please. Jer is gonna be there all the time. The whole family will be there and I will be extra careful. Please, it has been ages since I went to their place. I won't drink." I say, and she gives me a pointed look."Oh please, I was your age once. Don't say something you won't do.""Please Aunt Sara" I said one more time." Okay, fine. But call me if there is anything wrong."'OK, thanks. I love you." I kissed her cheek and gave her a tight hug and went to the door." Also, I am going to the mall with Jer for shopping. Thank you for giving me permission. I love you. Bye bye." I say and run upstairs before she could object.I quickly got ready for the mall and waited for Jer.Jer texts me to come out, so I leave after telling my aunt and getting into his car. It takes 30 minutes to reach the mall and we get out of the car. Jer takes me to his store first, where he shops. I swear
Next morning, I wake up feeling like there is a thing going on my head , like hammers hitting my head constantly as if my head is a nail. Somehow, I managed to drag myself up and get ready for school. I go downstairs and see the note aunt Sara had left on the kitchen countertop.'Going to shop for groceries. Be right back. Love you.'Alright then. I make some pancakes for me and a cup of coffee and take it to the living room. I pulled the curtains off and I immediately regretted it. My headache seems to worsen at the sight of light. I closed it and sat down on the couch. I devour my meal and texted Jerah to come pick me up. I waited for Andrew and when his car came , I get inside and turned on the air conditioner." Hey, how are you?" Jer asked."Hi. Not so good right now. I have a raging pain in my head and the hotness today doesn't help it." I grumble." It is not that hot. " He checked my temperature. " You are sweating. Are you sure you would be able to come to the charity?" He as
The day went by as usual. After my last class, I texted Jer to ask for the parking lot number. I waited but he didn't reply, so I called him." Hello."" Hi." Jer says his voice a little strained and tense." Where are you? I searched the whole parking lot. I can't even see your car," I said." I am so sorry. I forgot to tell you but I have some family emergency. Seth's ill. It's bad. I am so sorry I won't be able to drop you. I went home after third period today. So again, I am so sorry."" Hey, it's alright. How is he now? What happened?" I asked, concerned about Seth." He is fine. Dad took him with him. Probably just to see the doctor. He was in an accident. A person died, I guess. But it wasn't his fault, so he is good . For now. Should I ask someone to take you home?" Jer asks." No, no. I will be fine. No need to worry. You take care of Seth. Alright?"" Yeah, just call me when you reach home, " Jer says."OK, fine. Now bye. Take care of your family and give me updates.""Okay,
Andrew's POV:Shit Shit Shit! What did I do? How could I be so careless? I inched closer to her and I could still smell her sweet scent. I checked her pulse. Thank God, she is alive. Her pulse is slow but she is alive. I tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. I had no choice but to take her home with me. Maybe Charlie will know what to do. I take her inside my car and tuck her carefully in. She is unconscious but still has her eyebrows in a scrunch. I hold her hand while driving. Just to check her pulse. Nothing more than that, even though it fits perfectly in my hand. I had just parked my car when Alex came outside and started yelling at me. I ignored her and carried Ana inside my bedroom. Alex is following me and when I lay her down on my bed. She has a low body temperature right now, so I take the blanket that I hardly use and tuck her under the covers. I sit down on the couch in my room." Now, what were you saying, Alex?"" You dumbass. How could you be so careless? You fed h
Ana's POV:I open my eyes and see my surroundings. It does not look like my bedroom. I turn over and it all rushes back. I quickly sit up." Good morning," someone mutters." Andrew? What are you doing here?" I muttered, rubbing my eyes." Oh. This is my room, so that answers your question."" Oh okay."" Do you believe us now?"" Yes."" I assume you have a lot of questions?" He asks."Yes," I said quickly." Okay. What is it?"" Umm. Where is my phone?" I asked." What? That is your first question?" He says, shocked." Yes. Where is it? I have to call jer." I said.He's all serious when he asks, "Why? Is he your boyfriend?"" No. He told me to call him when I reached home. He must be worried. Why would you think that ,anyway?" I scratched my eyebrows."You are always together, for starters," he grumbles."Oh. So he does notice me. Glad to know." I said a little scarcastically"What do you mean?" he asks, confused.Yesterday, before all this vampire stuff, you were not at school or in
"Good Morning " I said to aunt Sara and hugged her." Morning. " She says and gives me a hug back." Are you alright? You seem a little hot." She asks with concern." Thanks for the compliment. I know I am hot." I joked." Let me check." She checks my forehead and says " God! You are burning up. You should not go to school today. Take a leave ."" No. It's alright. You know, I can't take a leave. I have a lot of work today," I said." Okay, but take care."" Yeah. Gotta go. "Jer is outside." I said and left." Hi jer." I sat in the passenger seat." Hi."" Let's cut to the chase. What were you doing yesterday?" He says as soon as i enter."How is Seth now ?" I answered, diverting him."He is good. Now answer my question. What were you doing yesterday?"" Oh. I- I umm. I was with Andrew."" Okay. What were you doing with him?" he asks skeptically." We were doing a project! Yes, a project. I told you yesterday, remember?"" Which project?"" Physics.""You don't have physics this semest
I get out of the car and straighten my top when I see it rising up. I see Drew looking at me as I do it." Is there any problem?" I asked."No, why?" he asked seriously." You are looking at me."" So?""I mean why? You know what? Let's go." I cut to the chase and went inside and he followed me."Hello?" I say." Ana. How are you?" Aurora comes downstairs and hugs me." I am fine. Tell me about yourself?""All fine too.""Hi Ana. I missed you." Alex calls out from the stairs, dragging the end vowel and runs down the stairs and hugs me with full force."I can- can't breathe," I rasp out." Oops. Sorry. Are you okay?" she asked." Yeah. I am fine now.""Where is Charlie?" Drew asked."He is upstairs in the library. Waiting for you." Alex says."Okay. Ana, stop chatting and come upstairs." Drew says, and leaves us in silence without greeting his family."Gotta go guys." I gestured awkwardly and followed him." Hello Charlie. " I said as I entered. I entered both Drew and him into conversa
"So?" Drew asked me when we left the living area. This time he had no smirk on his face. He keeps nodding to himself, probably thinking about our situation. Not ours ,my situation, although he also has some part in it. Drew snaps his fingers in front of my face ,his hand is drawn in front of me, so I give him my hand and he leads me to his car." Well, this happened," Drew asked again when we sat in our room." Yep and here we are. I'm sorry you got dragged into my problem.""Well, technically, I was in your problem from the moment you caught me feeding," he says, looking at me with a knowing glance."That is true," I said, and we both didn't speak much for a while and those thoughts started running through my head. Did my aunt knew about me? Why didn't my own parents tell me? What would I be if I turned? When will I turn? Drew waved his hand in front of me ,telling me my place was five minutes away. I nodded."What are we gonna do, Drew?" I asked him when we reached home."Well, you
