Sookie's POV
I don't know where that came from. Oh shit, he's looking at me. He's expecting more. Wait, he's pulling over now? Oh shitshitshitshit. My heart was hammering in my chest like it wanted to escape and run for the hills. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it all. I had fun with my new pet over the week, but it didn't come even close to the compassion and unconventional love I wanted to feel again. I felt so weak and needy to say it, but I wanted to be like everybody else. I wanted a family again.
"Sookie?" Did he just say something?
"What?" I tried to look nonchalant, utterly failing at doing so. Give me a break. I hadn't eaten in two days. Let's see you try to pull that off without food. I didn't think so.
"What do mean when you say 'I want to have a family again'?"
He was upset. It's not that Eric wasn't enough for me. I loved him to pieces, but the type of love I had lost couldn't be replaced by him. I didn't have anybody really left to care about me anymore. Nobody needed me there. Everyone's lives were just peachy without me. Amelia had gone home to New Orleans since she had no reason to stay in Bon Temps anymore since Tray had passed. Jason was practically living in Hot Shot now because of his new "abilities". Life had just continued on without me. It made me feel insignificant and alone. For years I had desired one thing, and just pushed it to the back of my mind. It couldn't happen. Not with Eric. He wouldn't allow it and he couldn't do it himself.
I sat shivering in the passenger seat. Thinking about what to do. I couldn't say what I was thinking, but it hurt me to try and keep things from Eric. Or are those his feelings through the bond? I was so confused and scared I did what my instincts told me to... I ran.
A/N: Hey everybody, I hope that you're all enjoying the story so far. Just for the record, Missy the cat is in the car with them. They didn't just abandon her at Sookie's house.
