After such a long wait, here is the fourth chapter of The Betrayal of Ivy Vega… I'll be sad if you've forgotten me… Okay, on with the story! P.S- There is a fair amount of angst in this, I think…
Disclaimer: I don't own My Sister the Vampire. If I did, this story would have actually happened, and I wouldn't be writing about it on fanfiction.
(Brendan's eyes are going to be green, thanks to Whateva876 who suggested it.)
Two weeks later…
The tension in the air was thick. Olivia felt like she'd been inhaling it all week. Longing looks from Brendan, suspicious looks from Sophia, and sad looks from Ivy. Olivia, of course felt horrible, for almost sleeping with Brendan, and uh, ignoring Ivy. Olivia just could not speak to her sister, without blurting that she was falling in—almost slept with her boyfriend, and Olivia knew how deeply that'd hurt Ivy because Ivy's been in love with him forever.
But that was Olivia's head speaking. If she listened to her heart, she'd go to Brendan and think about Ivy later. Her heart yearned for his touch, his kisses, and his emerald green eyes, his everything. Olivia dreamt of the vampire each night, with burning want.
Olivia had taken refugee with Camille, and since Camille had never been one to judge, let Olivia float. Camille barley held onto Olivia's sanity, let alone her heart.
Olivia was losing it. Her mind, her sister, her biological father, and the guy she really liked. Olivia was so lost. She didn't know what to do.
"Olivia! Please! Talk to me! I miss you so much! Please!" Ivy begged for the fifth time that day. Tears prickled Olivia's eyes as she kept walking. Olivia heard Ivy's strangled sob, and nearly went to talk to her, if it weren't for walking into Brendan, and his green eyes regarded her with adoration.
Olivia snapped. Tears flowed out of her eyes and sobs bubbled to the surface. All of this was too painful to handle. She wanted Brendan so much, but Ivy's stricken eyes were permanently burned into her memory.
Concern spread over Brendan's face. He reached out to comfort her. Olivia shoved him out of her way, before bolting to the bathroom she and Ivy first switched in. (Forgot what it was called.)
She threw herself into a stall, not bothering to lock it, and bawled loudly, snot running down from her nose. Olivia wiped it away roughly. She dug the heels of her palms into her eyes, letting the pain sink in.
When Olivia's blubbering ceased, she realized that it had been the break before last period that she'd gone running in there. School was over.
Silently, Olivia left the stall, and observed her reflection in the mirror. Wet cheeks with mascara stains, and puffy red eyes. Olivia harshly rubbed away the mascara and ran her fingers through her hair. She pulled a rubber band from her wrist and pulled her hair through it. Olivia knew she looked horrible, but that was the least of her worries.
Tearless, she left the bathroom, and trudged down the halls, making her way out of the school. The school grounds were completely disserted, only a few straggling students stumbling about.
"Olivia!" Oh that voice. The one that was burned so deeply into Olivia's memory, she just couldn't let it float in the wind. It seeped into her, causing a tremor to run through Olivia's body.
Olivia clenched her hands. Her nails bite into her tanned skin. She paused, allowing Brendan to catch up with her.
"Oh, thank god, I was starting to think you'd lost your marbles." Brendan laughed breathlessly, reaching out to grab Olivia's wrist. Olivia stiffened and hands falling limb, finger nails caked in her blood. Olivia heard Brendan sniff, probably smelling the blood trickling out of her palms.
"Olivia…" Brendan said, voice shaking with concern, "What is going on?"
Olivia twisted to face him in a movement so fast… Faster than any vampire could. She snapped, "What do you think is going on? I'm betraying my sister by almost sleeping with her boyfriend! And then there is you! You! I just… I just can't keep falling in—" Olivia's voice caught in her throat. She was so not in… Let's just leave it alone.
"In what?" Olivia could tell Brendan was curious and smart. Curious, because he wanted her to say it, smart, because he didn't bring up the fact he was indefinitely on a break with Ivy.
Olivia dared herself to look into his eyes. They were so deep set, and such a dark beautiful green. Olivia's knees shook, almost buckling out from under her.
"In love with you." She whispered, casting her gaze to the ground, a dark flush adorning her cheeks.
Brendan's eyes widened. "Do you mean it Olivia?"
Olivia hesitated, but nodded slightly. "But you could never fall for me. I mean, you love Ivy… I'm nothing to you."
Hurt filled Brendan. He tilted Olivia's chin up, forcing her to look him in the eye. "I do love Ivy." Brendan had intended a 'but' to be in his words, but Olivia simply didn't hear it. Anguish shot through her, taking the rejection horrid. "But, you are something to me. Ivy is like… Like I guess my sister in a way… But you… You're different; you're the light to my darkness, the goodness to my evil. Olivia, your everything to me. No matter how cheesy that sounded, know that I love you." Brendan smiled when Olivia's nose crinkled up when he called Ivy his sister. But once he said I love you… Olivia's eyes softened, to the color of melting sapphires, so warm and beautiful.
"Brendan… How could you fall out of love so easily? I mean, what if that happens to me? If you fall out of love with me when a better vampire or human come along?" Olivia wasn't going to answer Brendan's confession of love till she got a straight answer.
Brendan observed Olivia with careful eyes. "Olivia, it won't happen to you. I will never love another human or vampire like I love you. Please, you have to believe me."
Olivia didn't fail to notice that he didn't answer her first question. "What about falling out of love with Ivy?"
Brendan paused, calculating his words so as not to hurt the fragile girl. "Well, to tell you the truth, I haven't been in love with Ivy since grade ten. I've been falling for you this whole time." Wrong answer.
Rage burst out in Olivia's eyes. "How dare you play my sister! She loved you with all her heart, yet you go falling in love with her sister? I can't—" Brendan kissed her, cutting off her words. Olivia's mind blanked. She couldn't remember a thing. Her brain melted and her heart flew out of her chest. It'd been holding onto very thin strings, but it was detached and free. Olivia dissolved into Brendan's warm mouth, wrapping her arms around his neck. Brendan pulled Olivia to him, the space in between the two gone. Nothing was held back in this kiss. Two weeks' worth of rage, passion and angst had been brought into the kiss.
Their lips parted, tongues melding together. Finally, they broke apart, completely breathless.
"I… Love… You…" Olivia panted, tangling her fingers into his curly black hair. Olivia had forgotten everything that had happened in the past two weeks, and was lost in lust and bliss. She was on the borderline. One more scorching kiss, and she'd end up in bed with Brendan, losing her virginity.
Brendan smirked. He brought his lips down, and kissed Olivia with such passion, Olivia nearly passed out.

Olivia woke with a happy haze clouding her thoughts. Olivia barley remembered what had occurred in the past few hours, if it weren't for the soreness between her legs.
Olivia was laying in between Brendan's arm and his warm body. She nuzzled his side with her nose.
A small beeping noise came from her purse. Olivia wriggled her way out of the crook of Brendan's arm and pulled her cell phone out of her purse. She had an important date. Curious, she opened the calendar, after unlocking the phone. Dread fill Olivia, happy faze evaporating. Today was May thirteenth. The calendar to Olivia's I-phone beeped brightly, with a side note; Ivy's b-day today! Mine too!
What a great birthday present for Ivy, Olivia thought bitterly, happy birthday Ivy! Your present is… I slept with your boyfriend! Cake anyone? That would go over well.
Horrified, Olivia collected her clothes and yanked them on. She glanced a Brendan, so peaceful while sleeping, before sprinting out of the Daniels crypt and back home, where she could wallow in self pity.
Finally! I got chapter four out! I'm sorry it took so long… I was grossed out when I typed that Brendan only thought of Ivy as a sister… *Shudder* who makes out with their sister? Eww… I'm in a good mood today; my boyfriend told me he loved me! Oh, and Olivia's phone is my phone! Yeah, I have an I-phone 4… And an I-pod touch… Jealous? Just kidding! About the jealous part any way. Okay, so review and tell me if you're still lovin' the story, or if I should drop it all together.
