A/N:
Hi everyone! I'm sorry this chapter comes out so late, I've just had a lot of things to do. I want to say thanks to everyone that has reviewed and I'm sorry if I haven't replied to your review yet, I will soonJ I also want to say thank you to meathxxx; I did indeed get good grades on my exams, maybe because of you and your comment :D I'm going to stop babbling now and let you read the story!
Chapter 5
I was swimming in darkness and there was nothing there, had I died? Or pass out?
I could hear voices near, maybe angels in heaven. Was I in heaven? Or, more likely, hell?
"What happened?" someone whispered.
"They can explain it, I'm going to take her to her room" someone, vaguely familiar said. Did I get my own room in hell? Shouldn't hell be, like, superhot? Because I didn't feel particularly warm… It felt as if someone had lifted me up and was carrying me and then I was put down on something soft, like a bed. Or a cloud… Maybe all those cleansing hours with my parents had helped and I was in heaven!
Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw someone looking over me. Nicholas? What was Nicholas doing here? Had he died to?
"You're here too?" I asked out loud. He looked confused.
"Where else would I be?" he asked.
"I don't know, planning my funeral or something? At least not dead!" I said incredulously. His eyebrows rose.
"First of all, why would I be planning your funeral? And secondly, of course I'm not dead! Well, at least not any more then usually" he said.
"So… I'm not dead?" I asked. He snorted.
"Nope, you just passed out" he said and I rolled my eyes.
"Is this going to become a thing between us?" I suddenly asked, noticing he was -yet again- over me in my bed.
"What?" was his smart retort.
"You know, you being over me in my bed every time I wake up" I said. I so shouldn't have said that, I thought to myself while I blushed. I didn't even try to hide it, he could sense my blood coming up and heating my cheeks. He smiled and leaned close, his mouth nearly brushing mine in a almost-kiss, very like our first one when we were being watched by vampires. But this time we weren't pretending and we weren't in the parking lot, we were in my room. In my bed.
" It could be, if you want to" he said seductively and finally kissed me. The kiss wasn't what I expected it to be, it wasn't hot or sexy, it was sweet and lovely and just as hungry as a hot kiss was. We clung to each other as if we were depending on it, as if we would die of we let go. And while we kissed I believed that I would die if I actually did let go. I put my hands around his neck, twisting them into his soft, silky hair. His hands moved from my face to my waist and roamed all over my body to get as much as possible as fast as possible. I bit his lips slowly and was rewarded with a moan and then-
"Has she woken up yet?" someone asked from the door.
"Ignore him" I whispered against his mouth. He drew back and slowly untangled himself from me.
" I can't" he said and got up, taking up his shirt from the floor. Wow. Did I take it off?
I sighed and stood up slowly, smoothing my dark green tunica out in the process.
Nicholas was looking out the window, holding the window sill so hard his knuckles got even whiter then they used to be. Oh. I tried to slow my heart rate down and slowed my breath as much as I could. Ever so slowly his grip on the window sill loosened and he got some color back to his hands.
"Im sorry" I whispered quietly to myself, totally forgetting the fact that he had super-hearing.
" It's not your fault, Lucy" he said.
"But it is, isn't it?" I said. Because it was, I was just a weak human and he was a bloodthirsty vampire. He opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted by another knock.
"Come in!" I yelled and took a deep breath. It was Kieran. Of course, everyone else could have probably heard what Nicholas and I were doing. But not Kieran, he wasn't a vampire. He was just like me really, in love with a vampire but only a mere human.
Maybe I should be nicer to the guy….
"Yes?" Nicholas asked, a annoyed mask on his face.
"Everyone is waiting for you" he said before turning around and walking downstairs.
Through the window the sun was slowly coming up. Wait, coming up? That couldn't have been right, it had just been night!
"How long have I been out?" I asked suspiciously.
"For two hours" he answered. 2 hours couldn't be right, unless… Did Nicholas and I make out for four hours?
"Wow" I said out loud. Nicholas turned to me.
"Wow, what?" he asked curiously. I was trying really hard not to blush but from the look on his face I was failing miserably.
"Um… nothing" I said and looked away.
"You're blushing" he murmured with a lazy grin before taking my hand to go downstairs.
"Am not" I muttered, sounding like a three-year old.
"Are too" he said.
"Am so not!" I said back and we continued that all the way downstairs, both of us unwilling to face what had happened before Kieran had knocked the second time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Change of scene-thingy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So basically we now know just as much as we did when we started this discussion, two hours ago" Quinn said and leaned back on the couch next to Hunter, who looked more relaxed know the she had before.
"Yepp" I said and took a sip of my coke.
"I just don't understand what he wants with Lucy!" said Sol and took Kierans hand.
" Sol, are you jealous? " Logan asked, smirking when Quinn and Connor snickered.
"Leave the girl alone, she is just worried about her friend" said Isabeu with a look that shut all of the three brothers up.
"Well, Im just as worried and I suggest that Lucy stays inside, unless absolutely necessary and then she will go with one of us" Nicholas said.
"Are you out of your freaking mind?" I said, turning to look at him.
"I can't be locked in here forever!" He looked at me as if he was considering locking me into a closet again.
"And don't you dare lock me in a closet again or I will break more the your nose, Nicky!" I added. He looked scared, but not as scared as he was of his mother but I wasn't complaining, someday I would be just as scary as Helena Drake. Who, btw, wasn't one of my favorite vampires right now, because of what she said.
"As much as I don't like that idea, Lucy, I think it's for the best, at least for now. Until we find another way or solve this problem it will have to do.
"Seriously? You can't do that!" I said.
"Yes, I can. Young lady, I have responsibility for you and your parents would never forgive me if something happened to you" she said so sternly it made me flinch.
"Yes, m'am" I peeped. This is going to be fun, I thought.
I was sitting in my room with Nicholas when I had an idea.
" Where is my cell?" I asked and franticly looked around 'till I found it on my bookshelf(what was it doing there?).
"What are you doing?" Nicholas asked.
"Calling Kieran" I answered.
"Why would you call Kieran?" he wondered.
"Are you jealous?" I retorted, trying not to answer the question. I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up.
"Mom, for the last time I've already-"
"Seriously?" I smiled. "Is your mom the only one who ever calls you?" I asked.
"Hamilton" he said.
"Black" I answered.
"What do you want, Im sure your not that lonely that you called just to chat"(A/N: Okay, I admit, I just re-re-re-read CoA) he retorted, his voice full of sarcasm.
"No, I need your help with something" I said. Nicholas looked suspiciously at me.
" Why would I help you?" he wondered.
"Because your Solanges boyfriend and Im her best friend. Besides, this isn't for me, it's for Solange" I said.
"What do you need?" he quickly answered. I knew Solange was out so I told him
"Solange never got her Sweet Sixteen" I said.
"So?"
"You're going to help me plan a party for her"
