Nicholas' POV
There was one fact, I loved Lucy. But lately it was hard to keep track of what was up with her.
Mom told me something that no one else in our family knew. Lucy's parents abandoned her. What I couldn't understand is why? Why did they leave? Why was it that my Mom knew? Why didn't Lucy tell me herself? Why doesn't the rest of the family know? Seriously, what was up with her?
Even though I knew Lucy would come around eventually, it still wasn't fair at all. Lucy wasn't known for keeping secrets. She was strong and she refused to let anyone see her soft side. Except I didn't want to be just anyone, I wanted to be the one. The one to wife her and protect her and give her my last name; with the outcome of her becoming a vampire by choice and all of my family approving. She had to be the one. I wouldn't stand for any other "happily ever after" that anyone tried to force upon me.
Besides, everyone had known Lucy all of her life, and these approaching factors kept running through my head. I needed to see her and soon. I needed answers and I wanted them right now. I only had the patience to wait until night time, where she would hopefully, respectively accept my invitation to talk. Everything had to be cordial but society only permitted the shortcuts, which frankly, worked for me. A simple text would suffice.
It read: Lucy. I need to talk to you. How about dinner and a movie? I love you, and we can tell each other anything, right?
Knowing Lucy, she would drop whatever she was doing to text me. And I felt that it was the truth. She replied: Alright. Love you too. Of course we can!
But I couldn't help feeling like she didn't mean a word, and it broke my heart.
