Chapter 13

It had been a very tense week since I tried running away. Jessica was just happy that I was okay and acted like nothing had ever happen but in turn that made me feel like shit. She was probably one of the nicest people I knew and I had upset her.

Then the fact that I felt bad for a vampire made me feel like shit.

Either something was wrong with my brain or I was having severe PMS mood swings.

Chaz made fun of me every second he got. I never thought failing to run away was embarrassing, he proved me wrong.

Drake on the other hand had none of the gratitude that Jessica felt over my safe or any joking behavior like Chaz. He was completely avoiding me, whenever I walked into a room he would leave. In the past week I’ve seen him a total of 5 times and he’s talked to me a total of 0 time and truth be told, I miss him.

But I also missed my life back home. I hadn’t seen anyone on my team and my mom and dad in a few weeks. I hadn’t killed a vampire in so long. How many people would die because I couldn’t kill? Fighting fire with fire, it fits my job perfectly. Maybe they got a new person to- a knock on the door startled me out of my thoughts. "Come in," I yelled.

Jessica’s red head peaked through the door way as she walked into my room,"Hey, I just came to say goodbye."

"What?" Chaz had left a few days ago to go help with some council or something but I wasn’t expecting Jessica to leave.

"Well I have other things to do, I can’t stay here forever. But I will miss you Ally," she said softly and sadly.

"You can’t leave me; Drake doesn’t even talk to me anymore. He-"

"Don’t worry," she cut me off,"I had a talk with him and if he doesn’t start being more mature than call me okay?"

I nodded my head in agreement,"I’ll miss you Jessica."

"Goodbye, Ally" And then she was gone.

I shifted my gaze from the door to the clock. 8:00 in the morning, time for breakfast. But if I got breakfast I might run into Drake. I mentally slapped myself for being such a coward. He probably would just leave the room once I walked in anyway. Maybe that was what I was afraid of, him rejecting me. A mental punch was now in order.

Reluctantly I made my way down the stairs to the dining room. Fortunately Drake wasn’t there and didn’t show up later so I ate my toast with jelly in peace. Unfortunately it also gave me time to think.

Why was Drake even keeping me here if he was just going to ignore me? I had a right to leave whenever I wanted, right? My anger rose as more questions flitted through my mind and by the time I left the table I was ready to cause some bodily harm to the first person who crossed my path.

And as fate would have it the first to cross my path was Drake.

I could see in his eyes that he was going to walk right on by but I was not going to put up with that any longer. "Are you just going to ignore me forever?" I stopped right in front of him preventing him from moving, "Do you just expect me to longue around your house not talking to anyone and be happy? Obviously you don’t give a care in the world what happens to me so why don’t you just let me go? I’m not going to be ignored if you plan keep me forever!" My voice had gotten louder and my breathing became heavy as I held back tears.

He looked thoughtful at what I had said, "So if I talk to you, you won’t leave?"

"What?"

A smile lit his face at my confusion. "You are upset that I ignored you, not that you’re being held here."

"Well that’s not…I, you can’t….you lair…I, what?" My confusion was at a new level.

"Come sit." Drake grabbed my hand and led me to the library. A fire burned bright in the mantle with two very red, very big, very inviting chairs in front of it. Drakes warm hand seemed even hot than fire and I reluctantly to let go of it as I sank down in a chair.

"Why did you bring me to your house? You could have left me on the ground. My team would have found me," my voice was a soft whisper.

"Because I love you. Even when you chose your family over me I still loved you," I could hear the sadness laced in his voice.

"I made a mistake," I took a deep breath and looked him in the eye, "I should have never picked Mom and Dad over you. Jessica and Chaz are better family to me than they are. And I love you. Even when I thought you were rogue I still did." I smile filed with pure joy filled his once emotionless face.

Drake stood and pulled me into his arms kissing me until I was light headed. Gently he laid me on the floor his mouth still on mine. One by one clothes came off. Whispered promises and words of love were spoken whenever our mouths were free.

We kissed every place that was kissable and caressed with fingers until we were on the brink. When he finally slid into me I knew I had found heaven.
