Andrew walked along the stream, licking the blood of the mountain lion he just killed off his hands. His skin shone in the too-bright sunlight. Suddenly, the most delicious but at the same time horrifying scent wafted into his mouth. He looked straight ahead to see her just a few yards away. He quickly hopped behind a tree, hoping she didn't hear, see, or smell him. His heart was pounding. He was sick of this crap. He covered his mouth and nose with his hand, which just made it worse, because he had just licked blood off his hands. It was way worse out here than it was in the cafeteria... the bloodlust. In the cafeteria, he could smell food, and other vampires, and other blood around him. Out here, it was just him and the blood pumping through the veign on the side of her neck. He started to breathe more heavily, until he was almost groaning at the fire in his throat. He was about to break, he knew it. He could just feel her in his arms as he sucked the life out of her. He was shaking now, making the tree he was leaning on tremble. He was in so much pain, if she stepped a foot closer...

Star was crying so much she almost didn't notice one of the trees shaking near her. It freaked her out so much she stood up and turned to run only to run straight into Christian who held on to her so tightly she felt like nothing could hurt her. Then she remembered what he did. She pulled away and slapped him across the face, not knowing what else to do. She had never been in this kind of fight before. She sat back down facing the water of the stream trickling by, hugging her knees to her chest with her chin resting on her knees. She cried some more and tried not to face Christian and keep her voice from trembling when she said, "Why would you do that?"

Christian ran through the forest, cheetah form. She spotted her finally, and he changed back to himself. To his surprise, almost immediately, she ran into his arms, and he held her to his chest, squeezing his arms around her and closing his eyes, feeling like he wouldn't stop at the world to protect her. But the moment was destroyed when she whipped out of his arms and slapped him hard in the face. She was a werewolf, so he thought she might have broken a bone on the side of his face. He cradled his cheek with his hand, letting out an exasperated, Aghh.... He looked back up at her, still holding his face. I think I might be internally bleeding... He winced, hoping to kindle up the way she loved his humour. When she sat down, he slowly walked to her and sat close beside her. He stared at her face, lifting his hand up to her cheek and wiping a tear away. He tried to think of an answer to her question, but he couldn't. He stumbled for words, muttering things like, I... Well.... Finally he came up with his answer, and he looked at her in distress. Because... I couldn't stand the thought of anyone hurting you...

Star felt bad for what she did to Christian, but she was still very angry with him. "Sorry." she managed to say. After a few moments of silence, she got up the nerve to say what was on her mind. "You know i can read minds. I've known that you like me for as long as i can remember. You know everything about me and your my best friend...i dont want to ruin that. I dont ever want to lose you... I tell you everything, we have no secrets. And when i was sitting with andrew at first it was just because of the dare, but after a while i wanted to learn more about him and i didn't want to leave. I don't know why but something was holding me back me there and didn't want to let him walk away." Star took a deep breath and then thought for a moment. "I feel so confused right now. I... I just don't know the heck is going on right now, but i want him to know the truth and i really did want to talk to him. I just don't know what to say or how to say it..." She staired off into space a moment and then burried her face into her knees that were still being hugged to her chest waiting for the comfort of her best friend.

Christian stared at her, his hands trembling. He looked down at his feet, closing his eyes. He knew this moment would come, he just never thought it would be for another guy, and so soon... He grabbed a hold of the dogtag that was hanging from his neck, the one she gave him for his birthday, wanting to yank it off and throw it into the river. He looked back at her, wishing she couldn't read his mind and that none of this had ever happened. He had always thought they were meant to be together, but it was as if the world had spun off it's rotation, turning everything backwards and confusing. He stared at her for a few moments, then grabbed her hand, pulling it to his chest where he could feel his heart beating. Can you feel it breaking? He thought, knowing she could hear him. He dropped her hand and turned back to the stream.
Suddenly, he heard a snap from behind a bush a few yards away from them, and as he listened closer he could just hear the staggering, shallow breathing of a vampire. Looks like you won't have to. He said. He glared at the bush, as if to stare right through it at the monster that sat there. How could she like him? A cold, heartless, creature that kills for a living? God knows how many people he's killed. He's a newborn vampire, and it's probably killing him right now not to come over and kill them both. Christian knew she wanted him to comfort her, but somehow he felt like he couldn't, like the whole reason of him being there for her had faded away, to a tiny beating of a broken heart, but he held on to that hope and reached his arm across her, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.

"I didn't want this to happen! I love you like a brother and nothing could change you being my best friend...ever..." Star felt safe with Christian, like nothing could ever touch. She wrapped her arms around him and didn't want to let go. "There's something you should know. My second greatest fear is love. I've never wanted to let love into my life because i'm so scared it would just hurt me and betray me. I'm just realizing now that i let you in...to everything. And now i know i was right to be afraid because i do love you and i'm afraid you're gonna leave me now." She started to cry again. She took in a deep breath and continued, "And i don't know what i'd do without you. And i never said i liked him. i dont even know him!! I just feel a strong attraction to him like i need to know him...I dont know why..."

Christian was so confused, and hurt, and some kind of hopefulness. He stared at her for a moment, wishing he could read her mind right now. She said she loved him, right? More than once also, and it wasn't like she would just say that if she didn't mean it... He bit his lip, staring at her, trying to figure out what she had just said. His heart was racing, as if it had gone from withered out to full strength. He leaned closer to her, his eyes flickering from hers to her lips. Deciding he had nothing left to lose, and he leaned in closer until he was kissing her. He closed his eyes, just waiting for her to pull away.

Christian did one of the last things she expected. And as soon as their lips met, hundreds of thoughts raced through her head. She felt sparks but something just seemed missing. She didn't know what to do. After a few seconds...she pulled back. "You date a few girls at the same time, and leave them heartbroken for no reason at all all the time. I don't want to be with someone like that. Your my best friend, there's no doubt in my mind. But I want someone whose totally committed to me and i'd need to know he would never hurt me no matter what. And i'm afraid... I'm afraid i won't ever find anyone like that and when i think i do...he just turns out to be a jerk and betrays me and breaks my heart and i...I just don't think i could handle that. I...I'm sorry..." She hung her head as another tear rolled off her cheek and fell to the ground, wishing she could just restart today and take back everything and just let it go back to the way it was before.

Andrew took in a couple of things from behind his bush: 1. They were kissing 2. His throat was burning 3. They knew he was there 4. His throat was burning 5. She was scared of getting her heart broken 6. His throat was burning 7. He was more in love with her than she realized 8. His throat was burning 9. She was interested and attracted to him 10. His throat was burning. He had started to try a different approach by stuffing his face into the bush to drain out the scent with foresty smells, but it didn't really help. He needed to leave, but the minute he left from that bush and she came into view, she was a goner. Something also made him want to stay, as if he wanted to see what she chose in the end...
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Christian almost felt as if she would stay there, but he thought too soon as she pulled away only a few moments later. He stared at her, as she told him what she thought of him, and his hopes vanished immediately. You think I would do that to you? Do you honestly think that you mean the same to me as all the other girls I've dated? Do you even have a clue why I did that stuff? He stared at her a bit longer, not understanding why she was being like this. Because I LOVE you Star! I knew you would never feel the same, so I dated all those girls, none of them I actually loved, so maybe I could feel a little bit better? So that whenever you walked by me, I would have some hope that if I broke hearts, maybe I would never get hurt?

Star was quiet for a while. Her best friend in the entire world just told her he loved her. She knew he liked her, but she had no idea how much. She looked up into the stars, trying to find answers. She looked him directly in the eyes. He knew her better than anyone in the world so she knew he would understand what she was saying...she was just too afraid to be hurt, but she truly did love him like a brother. More than that? She didn't know. She looked away and laid down on her back and she staired into the stars.

Christian lay down beside her, staring at her solemnly. You know... Love really isn't a bad thing... When you find the right person... When you find that guy... He'll do anything to protect you... And he'll feel like killing himself when he hurts you... He'll never let you go... He'll keep fighting for you... Until you realize... He paused, realizing he was saying how he felt, but he didn't really care at this point, as he wiped another tear off her face. He looked up to the stars. Plus, if any guy tries to hurt you, just tell me and ill beat that son of a bitch to the freeway. He said, turning to smile at her, hoping for one back.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Thankfully, the wind started blowing towards the two from Andrew's side, so he was able to relax a bit. Something stirred in him as he looked around the corner of the bush to see them lying together so close... What was it? Jealousy? He pushed the thought away angrily, even though it still sat in the back of his mind.

Star managed a half-smile, not looking at him directly. "Thanks." She mumbled, with a faint giggle. "I hope your right, about what my guy would do for me." She paused for amoment or two and then said, "I know this is the last thing you wanna hear, but i cant get andrew out of my mind. i want to get to know him... I feel like it's something i need to do. i just don't know how i should talk to him or what to say for that matter. He probably hates me more than anything right, like he just wants to rip me apart and eat me until theres nothing left."

Andrew listened to their quiet conversation by the stream, feeling a bit disgusted at Christian's sappy version of Romeo and Julliet. He finally decided that the burn wasn't too bad anymore, and he could control himself. He stepped out from the bush, leaning against a nearby tree and watching them, sunglasses off, thankful for the night sky. When she said the last part, he couldn't help but grin to himself. You have no idea. He said, hoping he hadn't shocked her too much by just sneaking up on her like that.

Star nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard a deep voice from behind her. She was on her feet in an instant, ready to morph until she saw who it was. "Andrew!" She couldn't help but smile. She wanted to run over and hug him and never let go. But she would never do that because she knew he probably wouldn't like that. And she would never do that after what just happened with Christian. "Don't scare me like that! Where did you come from? How long have you been standing there?" Then she got a little quiter when she asked, "How much did you hear?"
Christian got up rather slowly and unsurprised. In fact he showed no sign of surprise at all. Star turned to him before Andrew had a chance to respond. "You knew? And you didn't tell me?!?! So everything you just did wasn't because you actually love me. it was just to try to make him even more mad at me!! I can't beleive you!" She started slowly walking backwards torward Andrew as yet another tear raced down the side of her cheek.

Christian stared at her in shock. Wait- what? Star what are you talking about?! Yeah I knew he was there, I also knew he wanted to kill you so bad he couldn't even hear what we were saying! Star you can read my mind but all you do is accuse me of breaking your heart! How could I make all that up if you could hear it was true in my head? His voice staggered, and he felt that choking in his throat again, but he pushed it away, staring into her once again tear soaked eyes. |
