Chapter one – Welcome back students of Green!

Start of a new year. Everyone was happy; balloons all over the hall, people talking too much and Ella, the reason that I breathe.
I know that she's a SPLIT and I'm her guardian, which makes our love forbidden…But I feel unrestrained when we're close.
I walked into her, she smiled, embraced me, we kissed.
God I was so worried that I couldn't watch her steps closely in our holidays; maybe it's exactly why our kiss was so long and I felt so protective.

"- I missed you so bad!" – I said
"- Really? How much?"
"-More than you can imagine!
-You've decided to travel to New York, but didn't let me follow you…
-Why?
-It could have been dangerous"

She silenced me with her finger.

"- Relax, everything's fine
- You don't have to worry this much Leo"

We rubbed our noses softly and locked lips for a while.
Then, the alarm ranged; Ella gave me her hand and we walked together to the class.
What a perfect day! Almost…
Omer came to our sit to ruin another moment, as always. I was already used to it.

"- Hey, how are you guys doing?
- How was summer?
- Is everyt…"
"- Shut the fuck up, Omer"

It was kind of an automatic reaction…That I regretted later.
He left sad.

"- Wait, Omer!
- Why are you so rude sometimes, Leo?"
"- I'm sorry"
"- You're sorry?
- That's all?"
"- I SAID I'M SORRY!"

Everyone looked at us.

She was disappointed. I knew it.
I could hear her heartbeats, feel her breath, and hear her thoughts. Everything surrounded by anger in that moment.

"- I don't even know what I'm still doing here next to you"
"- Damn Ella, don't go!"

I've tried to stop her, but she pushed me away and sat with him. That little coward, miserable human.

12:30…

12:45…

12:50…

Why chemistry's such a long class? At least, it seemed to be.

"- Okay guys, tomorrow we'll continue…
- Welcome back again!"

Finally.

"- Ella, Omer… Wait!"
- I don't know what happened to me…
- I'm stupid, reckless, idiot and…"
"- Leo, forget it.
- I've studied your specie and know that your animal side's stronger than your hum..."

I almost punched his face. But Ella, again, interrupted.

"- Let's go Leo, enough!
- Bye guys"
"- Bye you two" – Our group replied

I didn't answer anyone.

"- Listen, I know that today it wasn't good how we expected, but I want everything to be alright between us
- So what you think about…
- Spending the afternoon in my house?"
"- With your family?"
"- No, silly!
- With me!
- We'll be alone…"

"- I was just kidding"
"- Well, I can cook for you!"
"- What?
- Since when do you cook?"
"- Since I got a boyfriend that feeds himself with blood"
"- Wait, wait…
- I eat other things too"
"- Yes, but your favorite plate's a little different"

I laugh. Then, we went to the Roozen's house.

"-Mom?
- Dad?
- Guy?"
- Told you, no one's here."
"- Better for us…
- For me"

I pressed her waist and kissed her neck with passion.
She was walking backwards and suddenly hit her head in the wardrobe.

"-Ouch!
- That was a warning, believe me!"
"- I couldn't control myself"
"- For a cold one, your blood's hot…
- Too hot!
- We should take it slow…"
"- Yes, I agree"
"- Sit here, and wait a little"
"- Okay, chef!"

She prepared some kind of ram with cheese. Amazing; even funny because of the tomato juice joke.
Later, we ate ice cream and watched a movie hugged on each other.

"- This movie sucks!"
"- It doesn't matter!
- I'm with you…"

She putted her hand in my chest, kissing me. Leaned her head and slept.
It was late. I could hear everything, every little noise. After all, the danger's out there, waiting…

"-Ella!
- We're home!"

Her mom opened the door and saw us on the floor.

"-Hey Leo…
- I didn't knew you were here…"
"- Don't worry
- I… I better go now…"
"- Would you like to star for dinner?"
"- No, thanks!
- But I would love some help to put her on bed…Don't want to wake her up
- She's tired"

She helped me and I left, kissing her cheek.

"-Leo?"
"-I didn't meant to wake you"
"- Are you coming back … Later?"
"-You mean, today?"
"- Yes.
- I'm having these nightmares lately and it would great to have you to calm me"
"-Okay"
"- At midnight?"
"- I'll be here"

Midnight.
I entered her room, she couldn't stand awake.
I lay down next to her and put my arms around her body. Of course I locked the door with my mental power; otherwise her parents could have a surprise and freak out.
