Matt's Dilemma alternate ending

Thanks to Georgina for reviewing. Here's the rewrite as she'd put it, hopefully.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the plot. The plot after the first 3 lines, which pretty much were in Becoming Human.

Adam leant in to bite Brandy, thanks to the enticing pulse in the veins of her neck. He opened his mouth, then suddenly, the fantastic jugular was much further away. Adam was disappointed even more so when he heard, "Sorry, he's a knob." from Christa. He wasn't too concerned about Brandy's, "Yeah, I can see that", before she stalked off.

Matt followed her in a not-so-feeble attempt to continue the charade that he liked Brandy. He wasn't too keen on leaving Christa with a vampire, but he figured she could protect herself.

Adam waited until they were out of earshot before asking Christa, "Did you really mean that?"

"Mean what?", she smirked, letting on that she knew exactly what he'd meant.

"You think I'm a knob?", Adam asked, sad at having to repeat the hurtful word.

Christa laughed. Adam liked her laugh. In his 46 years, he'd never met anyone with such a beautiful laugh as Christa's. He wished he had the ability to make her laugh more often.

She stopped laughing to answer the question, though she'd half assumed it to be rhetorical. "Yes, Adam, you're a knob," He cringed again at the word before Christa sighed and went on, "Brandy's incredibly popular. People would definitely notice if she went missing. You'd better control your fangs if you don't want to be forced out."

"You don't want me to leave?" Adam questioned, his hopeful eyes focused entirely on Christa. She shook her head, a pink tinge appearing in her cheeks.

She hadn't many friends. Matt and Adam were entertaining, to say the least. Life as a lone werewolf was pretty lonely. Other supernatural creatures were…comforting.

Adam smiled at her. The fact that she wanted him to stay leading him on, he moved closer.

Just as he had been about to crush their lips together, hopefully making them a couple, Christa looked up, pushed Adam away and cried, "Matt!"

Adam turned to see him looking very upset. Christa asked him what was wrong. Matt angrily replied, "You! I never liked Brandy. I only ever liked you, Christa. Three years I've loved you but you never even noticed me. Steve McKenna said you would, but you didn't. Now you're about to kiss this guy you've known less than a day? I'm sorry I ever liked you. I guess I was too normal. Well, wolf-girl, you just go off with your idiot vampire then. I'll find my murderer on my own."

Christa looked astonished. She'd really thought that Matt had liked Brandy. She looked at Adam, who had a cute, dopey, confused look on his face. Guess he'd thought that Matt liked Brandy too.

Matt was gone, intending on finding his killer. Christa cared very little. So some ghost she'd been helping had just confessed his feelings for her. She didn't need him. One friend was enough anyway. She edged closer to Adam, smiling, actually smiling, when she'd just broken a guy's heart.

"And you call me a knob?" Adam cried angrily. "Just fuck off, Christa. You're such a bitch." He walked away, having had enough of that asshole who'd abandon a good friend for what she'd probably thought of as a one night stand.

Christa stared after him. She hadn't thought he cared so much about all that. She apologised to Matt but Adam still refused to speak to her. It was all her fault, but sometime she'd make it up to him. She decided to help Matt on her own. It was the least she could do to make it up to him.

Reviews are wonderful. Constructive criticism will be taken into consideration. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading.
