Chapter Two: Birthday Eve
I walked into Sookie's house exhausted as fuck.
"Hey! How did everything go with Ryan?"
It took me about 5 minutes to figure out what she meant.
"Oh! Well it was interesting. He excepted my apology. Also he hates Eric's guts for him leaving so much."
At that moment I just realized that my love life was the Twilight book. I had a fucking love triangle!
I walked upstairs and plopped on my bed.
"Before you go to sleep. What do you want to do for your birthday tomorrow?" Sookie said
Birthday? Holy shit! I'm turning 16 tomorrow! I completely forgot about my own birthday!
"Uh I don't care! Also you know that I don't have to do anything. Actually I'm not a "party" person. I hate celebrating my birthday..." I said.
"What do you mean we don't have to do anything? It's your sixteenth birthday?"
"Sookie... I don't like parties especially ones that are all about me."
"Okay well why don't we just have a couple people over at Merlotte's like Sam, Me, Ryan, Lafayette, Alcide. The local people. Then you and Eric can do whatever you want."
That idea actually wasn't all that bad... To be honest I liked it.
"Okay! Fine"
I heard a knock at the door. I ran downstairs to see who it was.
I opened the door to see Eric with some flowers.
"Happy Early Birthday!"
I smiled at him... I mean why couldn't he wait tomorrow?!
"You know my birthday isn't until tomorrow."
"I know but I wanted to give you these."
"Wow! Thanks."
I grabbed his hand and brought him upstairs. He sat on my bed and I put his flowers on my dresser.
"So what was the real reason to bring me flowers?"
"Well... It was a sorry present. I hate myself for leaving you again. So I brought you flowers."
I couldn't deny his nice gesture.. from what I learned he hasn't had much time to take a lesson in romance.. but I didn't care about that. At least he had a heart and felt like shit for what he did.
"Since you bought me flowers then I should give you something in return."
Before Eric could say anything I gently grabbed his neck and brought him closer to me. Our lips touched gently... I missed this. I missed his cold skin against mine. Eric laid on the bed and I was on top of him.
I didn't know how far this was gonna go but I liked it. This was different from all the other times.
"Adrianna... Not yet."
We both got up and caught our breaths.
"Sorry."
"It's okay... I just want you to wait."
After he said that there was a long pause.
"What was the whole reason why you came here again?"
Why did he want to know that?! When I told him he laughed in my face.
"Why?"
"I just want to know."
"Well I came here to figure out who sells V for a living. I needed to know so
I could kill or stop the source."
Eric's face was whiter than usual. Did he know something?
"What's wrong?"
"What was your mom's name again?"
"Why? Eric."
"Please just tell me."
"Ashley Herrington. Why?"
Eric's eyes were wide and his face was white and he got completely stiff.
"I'm. The. One. Who. Sold. Your. Mom. V." Eric said slowly
My whole body went stiff. I was speechless. He ruined my life... He ruined my mother's life. He ruined my brother's and sister's life!
"Get out." I said calmly
"Adrian-"
"I said Get Out!"
"Adrianna! Please!"
"Get out! And I take back my invite!" I yelled.
I heard the door slam and I dropped to my knees and cried.
