AN: Hello once again to the readers who are coming back after reading my previous stories and then hello to any new readers. For the people who have read my stories before I think that you are going to find this story to be different to my previous but I do hope that you still find it enjoyable.

Chapter 1

My life for the most part has been pretty good for me. As a child I was well cared for and loved by my parents and whilst I was at school I was never without friends. This did however then change during my last year of school.

I had a great boyfriend called Luke who had decided that he was going to be throwing a party at the weekend. He was great at throwing parties and everyone who heard that he was going to have one and would also be going to one would always become excited as he would always somehow manage to get his hands on a very large amount of alcohol. His parents would also always be out of the house which I've always found strange as we are living in a town that is ran by vampires who never allow people to leave. Or at least I have never heard of anyone ever managed to succeed in leaving.

I would even find myself always looking forward to when Luke would have one of his parties as it would always give me the chance act like the seventeen year old that I am. When I am at home I often feel as though my parents treat me like I am still a child that they need to take care of still. They are very strict, always telling me how I should be behaving and I have to obey them. They also aren't a big fan of Luke either.

This time however was going to be different from the others that I had been to before as it would end up the cause from me needing to open my eyes to what the people are that I have surrounded myself are truly like and that I should be careful about whom I should trust.


At the party things were going really well, people were already drunk and I could even feel myself going the same way as well. In the past I always tried not to get drunk as I know that it will get in trouble with my parents if I should ever come home hung-over and smelling of alcohol but this time I however couldn't care less about what was going to happen to me. I deserve the chance to let loose and like the age that I am and not how parent s think I should.


The party was now starting to wind down and I was starting to feel lightheaded and the room was even slightly spinning and also like I could throw up at any moment if I don't do something. Thankfully thought I do know my way around this house and so0 was able to find Luke's room where I know that I will defiantly be able to get some rest and who knows Luke may even join me but I don't know as I then blacked out once I reached the bed.

When I did wake up the next morning I found myself waking up to an empty bed, no clothes on and barely able to remember what had happened last night apart from Luke throwing a party and I then probably had too much to drink.

I do just wish that I could remember what had happened to me last night to get me to end up in the state that I am now in. One idea does come to my mind and though it wasn't the first time that we have done that I would like to know what is going on and what is happening to me.

I left the room then to find Luke and see where he was and find out if he could clear some things up for me and I didn't have to look far as he was downstairs and already making a start on the cleaning up.

"Hey babe," he said with a kiss. "Are you feeling alright this morning?"

"I feel fine at the minute. I have a bit of a headache and I also wish I could remember some of last night."

"You don't remember what happened?"

"I can remember being at the party and I guess I then must have drunk more that I thought I had or planned to as I don't remember anything after getting to your bedroom." I could then tell that something had defiantly happened to between us whilst I wasn't fully aware at what was going on around me. "I can guess at what happened though – we had sex didn't we." I then became really annoyed that this was now actually true which I could tell because he then looked very embarrassed and found it then hard to look me in the eye.

"I thought that you were aware of what was going on as you didn't seem to want me to stop and leave you." I then started to feel sorry for him a bit. I'm still annoyed because I have no way of knowing how much of that is true.

"Would like any help with the cleaning up?"

"No, it's alright, I can manage. Why don't you head back home and get some rest and I'll give you a call later on?"

"Okay then. I'll talk to you later then." Then with another kiss I left.

When I stepped out the front door however I wished that I had stayed at Luke's as the headache that I had originally thought was minor before increased when the sun hit my eyes. Sure it would have meant more trouble for me but I was now starting to feel quite ill.

I also know that when I get home there are going to be arguments which I would really rather not listen to and deal with whilst I am feeling like this right now. (In saying that though I never want to deal with them.)

I know that I will have to go home at some point and that it will be better to get it over with sooner rather than later. Also the sooner I get home and past my parents the sooner i can be in my bedroom curled up on my bed in the dark.

When i got home I started to wonder where my parents would be waiting for me. Would they be right by the door waiting and ready to pounce on me the minute I would walk through the door or would they be somewhere else like the kitchen or the living room.

I guess the only way I am going to know is by actually going inside.

I entered the house and found then in the living room looking very angry.

I am so dead was my last thought.
