Happy Turkey day, turkeys! Did everyone fill up on pumpkin pie and stuffing? I did! (ugh the gym is calling my name) I hope everyone is enjoying the story so far... there's so much to explain! x x


I slowly started to open my eyes to the darkness of my room. My room? I slowly looked around and felt instantly relieved when I realized I was in my room.

I lightly rubbed my eyes and started to sit up, trying to remember how I had managed to get to my room. The last thing I could remember was being in the car with Rebekah and... someone, Elijah, carrying me to my room?

I lazily pulled the cozy covers off of my body and stepped out of bed. I instantly felt chill bumps throughout my whole body as I stood there. My eyes slowly wandered down towards my bump, looking at my current outfit.

I was wearing the same outfit that I had been wearing all day yesterday. Gross. My hands were instantly placed over my growing bump when I heard my stomach growl loudly.

I made my way towards the closet and decided it would be a good idea to shower and put some clean clothing on. I rummaged through the closet looking for something comfortable to wear. My eyes wandered towards a long t-shirt and some leggins that were hanging in the back of the closet.

I quickly pulled the shirt and leggins from the hanger and walked into the bathroom. I slowly stopped in front of the large mirror in the bathroom, taking in my wild appearance.

My hair was puffy on one side and completely flat on the other. My shirt had a huge red stain on the front where I had spilled ketchup on it from dinner. And worst of all, I had a large drool stain on my face. Drool? Seriously?

I let out a loud sigh as I reached for a towel on the counter, not taking my eyes off of my face. My hand fell flat on cool, empty counter top. I glanced down at the empty counter where the towels usually sat.

"Seriously?" I huffed and walked back into my bedroom.

I gasped loudly when I realized I wasn't alone. My eyes instantly found Elijah's still figure. He didn't turn around from his current position by the window even though I knew he heard my loud gasp. Who wouldn't?

He was elegantly dressed, as always. His suit jacket, the color of the sky, clung to his muscular figure. His pants hung loosely around his legs. Standing still as ever, he looked amazing.

Amazing? Elijah looks amazing. I blushed at my own crazy thoughts. I felt like I was a teenager in high school, thinking boys looked amazing.

"You're awake." He spoke quietly as he turned around to face me.

I awkwardly looked down at my appearance, suddenly feeling very underdressed. Once again, I felt my cheeks start to heat up. Pull it together, I thought to myself.

"Yep." I took a small step towards him. "I'm awake."

"All of that shopping must have really tired you out." He mumbled. "My sister can get a little carried away."

"A little?" I laughed loudly. "We must have gone to about fifty stores!"

I heard him quietly laugh and watched as a small smile formed on his face. His smile. I couldn't control myself as my eyes wandered in the direction of his lips. I wonder what his lips would feel like on mine, I silently questioned.

Oh my God. Did I really just have that thought? Why did he, Elijah, have this strange affect over me? I haven't even known him for very long but yet I feel so comfortable when I'm around him. I slowly shook my head, annoyed by my confusing thoughts.

"Hayley." He suddenly spoke, interrupting my confusing thoughts. "Are you alright?"

"What?" I replied, trying not to sound too confused. "I um- what did you say? Sorry."

"Are you alright?" He questioned again. "I just asked you a question."

"I- um... need to sit down." I shook my head quickly and walked towards my bed.

I slowly sat down on the comfortable bed, sinking into the comfortable blankets. My eyes wandered in Elijah's direction. He walked towards the bed and sat down right next to me.

"Hayley." He lightly placed his hand on my cheek. "What it is?"

"Can I be honest with you?" I replied, suddenly feeling very brave.

"Please." He instantly replied. "Tell me what's on your mind."

The warmth from his hand spread throughout my whole face. I felt so calm and honest around him, but I wasn't sure if I should totally speak my mind.

As my eyes slowly found his, I saw nothing but warmth in them, and something I didn't recognize. Fear? His eyes were the darkest brown I had ever seen, so beautiful.

"I don't know what to say." I spoke quietly as I looked into his eyes.

"I think I know what you are trying to tell me, Hayley." He replied.

His thumb slowly moved from my cheek and lightly touched my lips. I suddenly felt something that I had never felt for him before; want.

"Elijah." I spoke in a hushed tone.

He quickly scooted his body closer to mine so our knees could touch. I felt my heart start to pound in my chest. I felt like I was going to crumble at any moment.

He squeezed my cheek slightly and placed a small but sweet kiss on my lips. The kiss ended just as quickly as it started. Elijah moved his head slightly back, parting our locked lips.

"Hayley." He spoke softly and looked into my eyes.

"That was..." I paused. "Sweet."

"I had hoped you would say something like that." He smiled lightly.

"Will you do it again?" I hesitantly asked. "Kiss me, that is."

Moments after the words left my mouth, I felt his lips back on mine. This time it was different, it wasn't sweet like it was before, it was filled with passion.

I moved my hands from there current position on my lap and lazily ran them through his hair. He moved his hand from my cheek and softly placed it on the small of my back.

We continued to passionately kiss for what felt like hours, but I knew it had only been for a few moments. Everything had happened so quickly it amazed me. We had gone from simply talking to making out on my bed.

I let out a quiet gasp when his lips traveled down my cheek and towards my neck. He placed soft kisses on my neck and I couldn't help but close my eyes by the feel. It felt so good, so soft and pleasant.

He kissed my neck another time and then paused for a moment. I thought he was going to stop but then I felt kis lips again, or so I thought. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my neck and I let out a loud gasp.

"Ouch!" I shouted and quickly opened my eyes by the pain.

The pain continued and I let out another gasp. Ouch, ouch, ouch! I closed my eyes and realized I was drifting off into a deep, dark sleep. The last thing I remember was something cool running down the side of my neck.


I woke up to my own loud, terrifying screams. My body immediately shot up and I slowly opened my eyes. My heart was beating at an uncontrolable pace. I looked around and realized I was in my room.

My heart started to slow down slightly when I realized where I was and that I was alone. Elijah. I moved my hand up and lightly grasped my neck where he had bit me, in my dream. It was just a dream, it was just a dream, I continued to tell myself.

My door suddenly flew open and I jumped back in the bed when I heard it hit the wall. I kept my hand firmly placed on my neck and I let my eyes wander to the open door. I suddenly felt a mix of feelings come over me when I realized who was standing in the doorway. Elijah.
