"Seth.. can I ask you something..?" she said while her eyes wandered out of the window, I nodded, stupid because she couldn't see it.
"Sure, that's why we are friends right?" She nodded and smiled, I wondered why she couldn't look me in the eyes this time. Did I do something wrong?, I held my breath while I ran over the day in my mind again. but I couldn't think of anything?
"I don't know how to ask this.." I noticed that her cheeks were a little bit red, it was kinda cute you know.. I've never seen her this way..
"Did you ever been kissed..?" She squeeked out, and stared out of the window again, afraid to look at me. My mouth fell open and I stared at her with surprise.
"Why.. Why the hell do you want to know that?" I asked, no I screamed even though it wasn't my intention to scream, But she caught me totally off guard.
" I was just wondering.." She smiled sweetly towards me, a little shy though..
"Ofcourse I kissed someone.." My voice was higher then normal, that was because I was lying.. But I didn't wanted her to know that. Deep in my heart I hoped she was looking up to me.. I didn't knew why exactly, but I just hoped she did.
"Ohh really?" She giggled and turned her eyes to her shoes.
"When?" Her voice was a little bit shakier then normal but I didn't noticed. I was trying way too cool to notice.
"Oh a while ago.." I said while I blew a bubble with my gum.
"but.."
"but what?"
"No never mind.."
"No just say it"
"No forget about it.."
"No! you can tell me AJ, you always tell me everything"
"But this is different"
"AJ..."
"Fine, fine!" She shouted and turned around so we finally had some eye contact. however her eyes were filled with tears, I stared at her with big eyes. What did I do?, crap!
"Why don't you ever kiss me..?"
"AJ..." that was all I could say, she had me speechless. I didn't knew what to say, and I noticed that my mouth was hanging open.. '
"never mind" she mumbled and walked towards the door.
"AJ wait!..." I screamed and she turned around, her eyes turned to the ground again.
"Would you like me to kiss you?"
"I-I said never mind Seth"
"Come here.." I said, but I walked toward her in stead of she towards me. Really confusing.. I slowly took her hand, with my other hand I forced her to look at me.
"Close your eyes.." I mumbled while I felt my heart beat in my throat. My hands were trembelings, and I felt so hot.. But she didn't closed her eyes, she just stared at me with those big beautiful eyes of her. So I slowly putted my hand in front of her eyes. I took a deep breath..
And an other one.
And an other one.
Quickly I closed my eyes, and putted my lips forward. I started to bend my head closer and closer.
my heart was beating like crazy..
The moment was coming closer and closer, my first kiss! and it was with AJ! that was just great.. and it was completly freaking me out.
The next moment I felt her hand on my chest.. and the next moment.
I fell on the ground just in time to see her take off. Confused I stared at her... I sighted deep and shook my head. Girls..

I glanced over to sam, who stared right back at me. It was the moment of truth we were standing in front of a brown door. The brown door. The brown door that kept me away from AJ. I swallowed but the lump in my throat didn't disappeared, I tried again but it just didn't go away.
"We can do this Seth" Sam mumbled who was standing behind me.
"Oh yeah why don't you get your ass over here and you ring this fucking bell" I snarled irritated. I wasn't really irritated just nervous, really nervous. It was just the two of us, because AJ's apartment was right in the middle of the sunlight, so our little vamp friends couldn't join us. And little sweet ness was so tired I decided it was for the best to let her sleep, even though she would kill me of she would find out. I swallowed again and took a deep deep breath, I finally found the courage to press the bell. The seconds passed and passed.. It seemed like years.
after a few minutes off hell sam suggested to press the bell again. I grunted my teeth and pressed again, this time we heard someone approaching. Slowly the door opened and an old lady came in view. i think she was around 96, or 97. Her hairs were really grey and the wrinkles covered her face completely, she looked really nice though.
"Ciao"
"Uhhm Hello m'am we came to see AJ" Sam answered in english. The old lady frowned before she suggest we should come in. She softly closed the door behind us and slowly walked towards the living room. It was a small old house, and everything was quite dusty. Spiderwebs were hanging everywhere but the spiders were already dead.. I sat down on the old muff couch next to sam. Her English was bad, and she had a really strong accent.
'Why you want to see AJ?"
"Well I'm her uncle, and this here is her old neighbour, we lost contact long time ago but we decided we should go find her, see how she is doing. See if we could help with anything.. "
"She told me she didn't had any family left"
"well we didn't had really much contact"
"But now you're gonna take care off her, right?"
"Yes madam" Sam replied while nodding. He meant it, because he really wanted to take care off her. He already talked to emily about adopting her.
"You promise?"
"Promise"
"good, that's good"
Then suddenly the door shot open again and she walked in, I just knew it was her because my body was reacting to it like a dog reacted to a cookie when he didn't ate for a week. She was more beautiful then I could immagine, her blond long hairs were tied up in a sloppy ponytail, her big green eyes that seemed to match perfect with everything she was wearing, that seemed to match perfect with mine, stared at me with curiosity.
"ciao" Her voice was like a soft breeze on a cool summerday, it was just what you needed, well what I needed. It was beautiful so melodious, it was like she was singing. She was so perfect, and she smelled so good.
"Uhhm AJ, It's Sam Ulley, and Seth Clearwater" Sam broke through the silence while punching me in the ribs.
"don't drewl man" he hissed towards me, so soft she couldn't hear. But I kept staring at her, her facial expression changed from sleepy to furious. In her beautiful green eyes grew more and more hate, if looks could kill sam would be long dead. But that wasn't the only thing I saw, I saw fear.. she was scared, and she was hiding it with anger.
"what are you doing here?" she snarled.
"I, We came here because we want to take you back to forks" Sam's nervous voice replied. I could hear that this was really hard for him, his tone was higher then normal, his heartbeat was higher then normal and there was the fact his hands were shaking, But not from anger this time.
"It's so like you to come to my house" She spitted out.
"AJ.."
"what the hell did you expected Sam?, that I would sweep my heart from the floor and just give it to you?"
"You don't know me anymore, I don't know you anymore so just get out, you never gave a fuck so don't act like you do now"
"Aliceïnde!" The old lady mumbled, AJ's eyes wandered off to the floor.
"But!"
"No buts Aliceïnde, you have to give them a chance, they came here all the way"
"I don't care" she hissed our way.
"Who the hell do you think you are Sam Ulley?" She shouted.
"Alice nde that's enough! go apologize right now young lady!"
"No!" AJ stormed out slamming the door so hard the whole house was shaking. The old lady who was still nameless to me stood up ready to follow her.
"just give her a little time, she's really confused right now you know.." her old voice whispered before she walked after her. Sam and I decided it was the best to leave right now.. we left the address from our hotel and took off, our hopes up.. We slowly walked back towards the hotel, both wandered off in our own thoughts.
AJ's POV
I slammed the door so hard the whole house was shaking, I needed to calm down, I needed to think clear. But this whole day was taking his toll, I just couldn't understand what sam was doing here. Why would he come all the way to italy just to see me?, I didn't knew him to well but.. "Grrr quit it out AJ!" I shouted towards the mirror. Nobody cares about you there! nobody!. they all left you in the cold, left you alone with.. him. My thought were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"you can come in miss cera" I mumbled, preparing myself for the next fight. She walked in even gracious as always.I just couldn't understand, she was 96 and still she had the attitude of a real lady. When she walked in you just had to look at her. She sat down on my old dusty bed, which I loved so much. I loved this house, everything about it. Because I belonged here.. This was my home. I finally found a place to call home, here in this sweet heart of miss cera.
"AJ we need to talk.."
"I know, I know"
"It wasn't really nice of you"
"I know.."
"They can't be that bad right?"
"Don't know.."
"AJ listen to me, I know this will come as a shock for you.. But I want you to move in with that Sam Uley"
"WHAT!?, NO!"
"AJ, honey, I don't have much time left.. look at this house, you can't live here.."
"But I love this house!"
"AJ.. I'm begging you"
"Does that mean.. you don't want me anymore?"
"Ohh honey ofcourse not, you're the daughter I never had. But please can you just give it a try, I just want you to be happy"
"I am happy here!"
"Ohh honey, you'll see what I mean. Now i'm going to call that sam"
"No please!, I will do anything to stay here!, anything!"
"I'm sorry AJ, it's the best for now.."
She stood up, gave me a kiss on the forehead and walked out. Warm tears rolled out of my eyes, I felt so empty right now.. I didn't wanted to go to forks, but deep in my heart I knew that it was the best. miss cera couldn't take care of me right now. I just needed to hold on a while, and then everything would change. I just needed to do what the voltari wanted from me. I stood up, wiped away my tears and started packing.

We just arrived at the hotel when my mobile phone rang.
"What's up lee?"
"Seth it's mom, she had an accident.."
