3 years seems like a long time, but I think its always seemed longer to me than most.
3 years since he left me standing in the woods.
3 years since my heart was broken.
2.5 years since I moved away from Forks to start a new life.
I left the day after I graduated. Charlie was sad to see me leave home, but happy I was getting on with my life.
I moved to Los Angeles. Charlie was thrilled when I got accepted to collage. Life for me was better being away from Forks.
My first and only semester I was just going through the motions. Studying just didn't seem to interest me anymore. Than the girls in my dorm insisted we hit a club one Saturday night. I needed to get out, try and meet new people and get along with my life so I tagged along.
Silk Road was amazing! Like nothing I had ever seen before, 2 levels of absolute style. It had a large crystal chandelier hanging over the empty space between the ground floor dance floor and mezzanine level. Light up crystals and on every wall, a designer interior and that was just the building. No wonder it was the hottest place to be.
That night was the start of my new lifestyle.
2 years later and I am the promotions manager at Silk Road.
Dante is my boss and Silk Road is his baby.. as am I. Purely in a brother - sister kind of way. He took me under his wing and has been looking out for me ever since. Little does he know that I know his secret. Why he's paler than everyone else. Why his eyes change colour. Why we've never really been out in the daylight together… He was a vampire.
I'm like a magnet for the supernatural. Though I have never breathed a word to him that I know what he is. That would mean I would have to explain how I knew and that would mean thinking about him.
Him!! The last 3 years had passed by uneventfully. I had stayed single in this time. Don't get me wrong, there had been some men.. but no one I ever let get close to me heart.
My lifestyle was different now. Thanks to Dante I made more than any other promotions manager I knew. But I also knew how to pull the crowds better than anyone else. I lived in a beautiful apartment in the most gorgeous building in town and had 2 great sets of wheels.
Shit, all this reminiscing was going to make me late for work. We were having a Midnight Party at the club. Tickets had sold out 3 weeks ago and we were going to be at full capacity so I had to get ready and get there as soon as I could. I had so much to do.
