Chapter Two
Time will heal all wounds
I haven't seen Travis for two weeks and it's driving me up the wall. I haven't seen him at school or at my house. The vampires haven't attacked my house. I think its because there is this gray werewolf in our neighborhood. The reason why I say that is because I hear a howl in the middle of the night and then I hear a scream. So I believe there is a werewolf in the neighborhood. All of this wolf talks makes me sad. God I miss Travis so much. I have to go diary I have to talk to a human being.
Love, Darla Lynn Rose.
Darla got off her soft purple bed and got her Apple phone. She went to the phone book on her phone and called Kelly Jacobson her best friend.
"Hey, Kelly. I needed to talk to someone." she said as she sat back on her purple bed.
"Oh honey is there something wrong?" asked Kelly in a concern voice.
"Yea. That guy I told you about, Travis he has been avoiding me. He hasn't come to school for two weeks." she said.
"Oh I'm sorry. Hey all you know he might be on vacation." told her concern friend.
"The last time I saw him he was upset." she told her as she began again
"It's all my fault."
"What's all your fault?" asked Kelly
"He told me that we couldn't be together, because I wasn't his type and his family doesn't approve of anyone who isn't his type." replied Darla as she got up again and walked around her room.
"Oh I see. There isn't really anything I can do being far away from you. I wish I was there with you." she said to her friend.
"I wish you where too. Travis would love to met you. I told him all about you." told Darla as a light bulb appeared in her head.
"I have an idea Kelly."
"What?" she asked.
"What if I pay for half of your plane ticket here and you pay for the other half." she said.
"Darla that might actually work! How dose next week sound." excitedly said Kelly as she jumped up and down on her bed.
"Ok next week sounds good." she said
"Ok next week it is." said Kelly as her and Darla hung up the phone.
Darla was so happy that she ran downstairs to share the good news with her mother.
"Hey mom guess what?" she asked as her mom looked at her.
"What Darla? You know I hate playing these guessing games." told the tall, blonde, brown eyed woman.
"Kelly is coming to Mill Creek next week!" screamed Darla as she jumped up and down.
"Really, that's awesome. You really need a good friend right now." told her mother Karin.
"Yea I sure do." she replied back.
"Is she staying here or in a hotel?" asked the sweet mother who looked like she was in her thirties, but she was actually in her mid forty's.
"She'll be staying here. Is that ok with you or do you have to ask Jared?" asked Darla as she rolled her big green eyes.
"It's ok with me. I don't need his permission for everything you know. Darla how come ever since that boy hasn't talked to you, you've been so upset. Do you like him?" she asked her daughter.
"FYI his name is Travis and yes I have been upset if you haven't notice. He hasn't called me and I haven't seen him for two weeks." sadly said Darla as she grabbed a pink vitamin water out of the fridge.
"I'm sorry honey. The saying goes time will heal all wounds. It will take time for your wound to heal. Why don't you go see a movie after school with me." she suggested.
"Your right. I'll go with you if we go see Fast and the Furious." replied Darla as she got her pink bag and started walking out the door with her mom right behind her.
"Ok that's a deal. I'll pick you up right after school." told the mother as her daughter and her got into their blue ford truck.
They arrived at school ten minutes later. Darla got out of the car and headed off to class, but she was stopped by Matt the vampire.
"So I hear that your little werewolf friend disappeared two weeks ago. To bad I guess you need a new man in your life."
"I don's see a man. I'll I see is a little boy. Get out of my way." demanded Darla as she got into his pale face.
"What happens if I don't?" asked Matt as he got closer to her.
"I'll kick you where I know its going to hurt. I may look weak, but I'm not. Plus I don't Travis to protect me. I can take care of myself." said Darla as she lifted her leg and kicked him in the balls.
Darla walked away from Matt who was standing there in pain. She just proved to him that she was stronger than she looked even thought it was a cheap shot.
She went thought the day without a sweat. She went to the movies with her mom for the first time in months, and she enjoyed it. When they got home Jared was sitting in the kitchen table drinking Vodka. His red hair stood up and his paleness made him standout in the creamy brown kitchen.
"Honey what's wrong?" asked his concern wife.
"I just got suspended from work." replied the drunk man sitting in the wooden chair.
"What why?" she asked.
"Because I hit James Grater. He told me that he was going to steal you from me. I don't want you to leave me. I love you Karin Glenn. Please don't leave me. I can't live without you." hysterically said Jared as Darla rolled her eyes.
"Oh honey, I love you too. I would never leave my most perfect husband. You heal all my wounds. I'm always here for you." she said as she comforted her husband who was still drinking the Vodka.
"Well I'm going upstairs. I'll see you tomorrow. Oh and good luck on him stop drinking. He dose this every Monday when you leave for a girls night out." told Darla as she walked up the stair case. She could still hear the hysterical man in the kitchen. She could also hear her mom comforting him and telling him that she would never leave him.
The last time Darla heard that much concern in her mothers voice was when Darla was crying in the bathroom when her father left. When Darla was ten years old her father said that he was going to a business trip for a while. A month later he came home packed up his stuff and left. He left without saying goodbye to her or her mother. Darla sat in her bathroom crying for days thinking it was her fault. She thought it was her fault because her dad would tell her if she didn't get her bedroom clean that he would leave. So everyday Darla would clean up her room and he would never leave except, that one day when he left and he never came back.
Darla laid on her bed day dreaming about when Kelly arrived. She wondered what she would show her in this little town and what they would do. She day dreamed until she fell asleep. Darla began to dream about the future.
"You promised me you would tell me the truth." yelled Darla as she threw a pillow at a leman haired girl.
"I thought if I told you, you would get mad and I was right." said a voice that seemed familiar.
"Your right. I can't believe you would do this to me. I HATE YOU. I want you out of my house and out of the town NOW!" yelled Darla as she took the leman haired girls arm and threw her out of the house.
Darla awoke to her alarm clock playing Mercy by Duffy.
