[[Lawls. xD Things are cliche for a reason. It's 'cos they're so good that they get used a lot ;P

And yah, I liek that idea. :v

LET'S DO THIS THANG.]]

I opened my eyes as I felt something pull away from me. Glancing up, I saw Eddie, and smiled softly. Apparently, he had been hugging me or something while I slept, but something made him move away. Sitting up slightly, I yawned and tilted my head to the side. There was something a little strange about the ex
pression on his face...

It looked, to me at least, almost like... disgust. As I thought that, I felt my heart sink.

Surely... He wasn't disgusted by me, was he? Maybe he was just... having a bad dream or something. But, no, Vampires don't dream. They don't sleep, so they can't, or at least, that's what I thought happened. So, what was it about me that was making him look so disgusted?

''... Eddie? Are you... ok?'' I asked, a little bit of worry evident in my eyes. Worry that it was me that disgusted him, and worry that there was something else, something horrible that made him look so revolted. I wasn't entirely certain which was worse, but I had an inkling it wasn't the latter.

[[BLERGH. Ignore mah phail. . _.]]

[[But. Just look at your posts compared to mine. >.<]]

I was watching Eddie, disbelieving, as he started pouring out words, saying how sorry he was for things, how he shouldn't have done some things... It made no sense. No matter what, if I was given the chance to change anything that had happened, I wouldn't. I would have kept everything exactly as it was. I wouldn't have changed so much as a butterfly's wing beat, if there was any chance things would have turned out differently. Would have turned out without me being with Eddie, and only Eddie.

I grew even more worried as Eddie did something I wished I'd never see him do... Tears were falling from his eyes, and it hurt me just to see that. Why was he crying? Why was he saying he was sorry for letting me love him? It wasn't like he could change how things happened.

I was surprised to see him stand up so quickly, even more so as he pulled me to my feet. Something must have been wrong. Very, very wrong, and of that I was certain. I walked with him to the door, thousands of questions whirling through my mind, but even if I had managed to focus on just one long enough to say it, I had lost my voice.

Just as well, I suppose, because I was too shocked to say anything at all for a moment, as someone appeared in the doorway who I recognised instantly. Hard not to recognise someone who you'd loved once, even when they're in the state he was in.

Had he really been looking for me? And what had happened to him? He'd just... left, right when I'd needed him. What could possibly have happened that made him leave?

I began to get a rough idea of what it was that had happened when Eddie tightened his grip on my hand, and when he mentioned about Eddie being a monster. Eddie looked just like anyone else... For him to know what Eddie was... He was either a werewolf or a vampire, and I doubted he would be talking the way he was to Eddie if he was a vampire.

My blood went cold as I remembered what Eddie had said. That a werewolf could kill him with ease.

''He isn't holding me hostage.'' I replied calmly, much calmer than I felt. My voice was flat, surprising me by not shaking.

''He has done nothing to me. If you hurt him, I swear, I'll... I'll... I'll kill you.'' I swallowed, looking up into his eyes with a look of defiance on my face. I had loved him once, and the emotions swirling around inside me weren't much help on telling me whether or not I still loved him.

[[Lawlswhut. xD

Btw, whut is Mr Werewolf's name? :v]]

I listened to the werewolf speak- the same man who had once held my heart, and might still have held it- about how he had to leave me, for my own safety. About how he just wanted me safe. I might have softened a little towards him, if he hadn't then told Eddie that he was the one I needed to be safe from. After him saying that, I felt a part of the love I still felt for him slip away, but it was only a part. I couldn't lose all my love for him.

He went on to say that Eddie didn't love me, how he would have left if he did, and how he himself would never leave me again. I felt Eddie release my hand, and it made me mad- exceptionally so- that he was making my Eddie feel so guilty.

Especially when Eddie told me to stay with the werewolf. I knew then that no matter what either of them said, Eddie loved me. But I couldn't help but be mad at both of them, then. Both trying to tell me who I would be safer with, who loved me more.

I felt Eddie kiss me, but he was gone a moment later, the werewolf with his hand in a fist. Trembling slightly in anger and indignation, I glared at the man now whispering in my ear that Eddie didn't love me. I balled my hands into fists, resentment evident in my eyes. It wasn't resentment at either of them in particular, more of what both of them were trying to do;

Both of them were trying to run my life, and I hated it. Finally shaking myself awake enough to respond to their childish behavior, I took a step away from the man who left me so long ago, but it wasn't so I could go to the one that was leaving me now.

How could I trust either of them? How could I be sure either of them wouldn't just leave or get themselves killed 'for my safety'?

''Jesus christ, you two are the biggest pair of oblivious, moronic, ego-tastic people I have ever met.'' I said, my voice near a snarl. ''Will the pair of you just stop being a pair of damn idiots, telling me who to love? Telling me who's best for me, best to keep me safe? Why don't you just understand that I don't care if I'm 'safe' ? With both of you simpletons running around, it's a bloody wonder neither of you have ended up setting off a nuclear bomb yet.'' I shook my head, scowling, and glaring at the both of them.

[[Lawls, sorry for Song's language, she's just really ticked. ;P]]

[[Lmao. I wasn't sure how ok you were with swears, so tried to keep it down. xD

Ugh. You just be greatful we already used Bob, Billy, and Billy-Bob. |DDD]]

''I will certainly not 'come with you'. And I mean it, Jake, [lawlsIknowthisweirdkidcalledJake] if you ever so much as touch Eddie again, I will kill you. And I assure you, I will take my time.'' I said, glaring at him. So, he had been planning to kill Eddie this whole time? And had been able to say that he loved me this whole time? There was something seriously wrong with him.

''Safe? '' I repeated incredulously. ''How could I ever be safe around you, when I will never be able to know if you're telling me the truth, or just telling me things to 'keep me safe'?'' I turned away from him, walking over to Eddie. Eddie had done many things, had bent the truth a little when he thought it best, but he wasn't nearly as much of a liar as Jake was.

Besides, maybe it was just in the nature of mythical beings to be liars.

So, even if I still wasn't certain Eddie was the one I loved, I stood next to him and glanced at the huge dent in the wall. Had he really hit it that hard...? He didn't look hurt at all.

Just the fact that Jake was responsible for that, though, was enough to make my blood boil. Who did he think he was, deciding that I would go with him, and trying to kill the person he knew I already loved? What did he possibly hope to achieve?

''Are you ok, Eddie?'' I said softly, looking up into his eyes.

I wrapped my arms around Eddie, worried he'd seriously hurt himself when he'd been thrown against the wall. Sure, he didn't look hurt, but who was to say he hadn't broken a bone or something? Could vampires even break bones?

''Good riddance.'' I replied, forcing a smile, even though I doubted Eddie could see.

''What are you sorry for? You've done nothing wrong.'' I replied, knowing he'd just respond with some stupid idea he had again that meant that him just loving me was his own fault and he'd burn in hell for it or something.

''Well, I think I know where I want to go now.'' I said, a smile appearing on my lips. I didn't know why Eddie was laughing, but something told me I wouldn't want to know.

''I want to go as far away from here as possible. Like Antarctica or England or something like that.'' I wasn't sure if going to a different country would make any difference at all, or whether Jake would come back and find us regardless, but it had to be better than doing nothing at all.

''Eddie, don't worry. No matter what Jake- or you- say, I'm not going to stop loving you.'' I said, thinking that might have been what was bothering him.

[[I suggested England with your obsession for british accents in mind. |D

And. PFFFFF. I can reply. But. All my replies are likely to be fails for quite some time. >.<]]

I giggled, jumping up from the bed and following Eddie out of the room. He seemed so excited and happy, and it made me happy, too.
''You seem pretty buzzed.'' I said, grinning as I walked quickly after him. Maybe he'd just always wanted to go to Antarctica or England or something. Either way, it was funny, how happy he seemed.

[[ROFLMAO. Yes, I'm a her. xD

And I agree, something should happen with Eddie's deep, dark history. >:3 I have no clue what do. Dx

and LMAO. Song's gonna get really ticked if he keeps stealing cars. xD]]

I followed Eddie out some back exit door, figuring he didnt want to go past the desk again and have to explain why we were leaving so suddenly or why there was now a dent in the wall.
I rolled my eyes as he broke into a car yet again, but grinned delightedly as I realized I was going to be the one driving. This... was going to be fun.
I slipped into the driver's seat, putting my hands on the steering wheel and leaning back, looking at him.
''Whereabouts in England're you from? And which way am I supposed to be driving?'' I asked, grinning still.

[[Ohohohoh. Make 'em go to Bristol. xD That's one of the places with the most well-known, kinda lovely sounding 'english' accent. xD]]

I grinned at him before stamping my foot down on the accelerator, ignoring the squeeky complaints the tires made to such abuse. ''Sure, sounds great. What's it like there?'' I asked, tilting my head slightly to the side, with my eyes darting to the road every now and then.

[[LOLOLOLOL. Bristolian. xDDDD That word is so freaking funny. |D

And London, Birmingham and Oxford have the poshest accents. Liverpool has the typical Scouse accent, which many consider 'rough', and Manchester has a rather rough accent too. xD

Also, 50 to 60 degrees farenheit? I have no idea what that is in celcius. o -o]]

I grinned as th car's speed reached it's limit, speeding along the road at a pace I quite liked.
''A Bristolian? Dear god, Eddie, I love that.'' I replied, chuckling.
I knew it could get pretty cold in England; one of my friends had gone there for a winter getaway- she wasn't the brightest of people- and had come back to say she had been trapped in the hotel by four feet of snow.
