Short begining but this is more of a kind of What's happened so far. This might not make sense if you haven't read In The Dark so i suggest you read that one first. So Yeah, that's all i have to say for now. I hope you guys like it!
It's been about three months since I last talked to Ashley. Three months since I had lost everything in my life. Funny how a simple move to a small town could change your life so immensely. I went from being a cheerleader, with the perfect boyfriend, and the perfect tan in L.A. to a girl who met a family of vampires, falling in love with one of them, to come to find out that Aiden, the first guy I met in this small town called Port Jervis, was also a vampire. He and his buddies, David, Frank, and Jack, decided it would be a good idea to attack Ashley and her friends. That was the day before my life went to hell.
"I get it. I know." She said loosening her cold grasp on my arms. She sighed and looked at the ground. "And you won't be alone, I'll be sure to have Carmen, Jayden and everyone keep a close eye on you. But now…with Aiden…" She stopped speaking and continued to look down.
"It's just complicated." She finished. "We will protect you Spencer, you and your family I promise." I hear her say.
"You mean" I took a sharp breath in as I felt a tear fall down my cheek. "Carmen, Jayden, Craig, Brandon, and Jacob will," I say coldly. "But not you." She turns her head to look at the wall off to the side. I just shake my head and brush past her slamming the door shut on my way out.
Since that day I haven't been myself, I haven't slept as well, haven't eaten as much. I did however see Carmen outside of my house every-now-and-then. I tried to ask her about Ashley but she ignored me and walked away, off into the shadows.
I alienated myself at school as much as possible. I was determined to be an ice cold bitch to everyone that tried to come up to me. The last thing I wanted was to make friends. Especially since Ashley made sure her classes were switched and she didn't have any with me. She wouldn't even look at me during break.
Aiden and his friends acted as if nothing had happened, they were still as loud as ever, cracking jokes starting drama.
When my parents started to notice how depressed I was being they pulled me out of that school, thinking that there were bad influences there. They thought that putting me in a school that I could go to in the mornings only would make everything better. They also bought me a new car, or well new to the family, not newly made. It was a 1999 Ford Ranger. They have been trying though, they asked me questions about my day, pretended like life was normal, acted as though they didn't notice how empty I was.
I've been going Port Jervis High School for the past two months. I did make friends here, deciding that the least I could do for my parents was pretend like I was getting back to normal, I even tried out for the cheer team. I was accepted but silently declined saying I was slammed with too many things. I told them I thought I would have enough time but was wrong. But I told my parents that I was just rejected.
Life was easy this way, living it the way people wanted me to, and not the way I wanted. I wasn't sure why it was so easy, it just was, and I was grateful I found a way to fix things for myself to take this knife out of my heart, or at least just numb the pain for awhile.
