It had felt like some dream that he'd woken up to not his usual hell. The pain was there sure, but Lexi had been there too. It was the first time even that somebody had been there afterwards. If he'd been back in Florida he'd just laid there on the garage floor till the pain was a dull ache.

Lexi had taken care of him and he didn't know when it happened, but she wasn't just a vampire. Some how she had became that second person in his mind that wasn't just a vampire, Caroline being the first. He couldn't deny that he was falling for her. He was still scared to go back there though.

The pain after turning wasn't as mortifying as that first time, but it didn't get easier. It just sped up, which at times hurt more. Breaking bones, relocating body parts in hyper speed almost made him sick. He just wanted to find something cold to lie down on until he felt better. He felt cold right now though and it was the best feeling possible.

"Hey are you okay?" Lexi asked, he'd been doing fine then he got back from the shower and he'd looked sick. She'd caught him getting him in the bed before he could hit the floor. The plan had been to leave because she was finding it hard to be in same room with him. She had wanted to touch him again and she got her wish. It just hadn't come in the way she'd wanted it to come.

Mason fully opened his eyes realizing the cold feeling was Lexi. She had her hand against his face and it felt so good. He didn't want to say anything because he really though he'd gotten some bad wolfsbane. He hadn't felt this sick before or weak. He wanted to nod tell her to leave, but he just shook his head. He managed to get a no out leaning into her hand.

"You know you scared the hell out me," she said in low voice that was barely there. Caroline had told her that Tyler ran about one-ten body temperature. She'd felt his touch when they'd first meet. Last night Mason's touch was red hot almost. She'd found a thermometer in one the bathrooms in the house. "Your temperature was up to one-thirty and you were shaking," she said.

She wasn't sure what to do, but she'd lain down beside him. "So you stayed?" he asked looking up at her. "Thank you, for staying," he didn't know what else to say. He'd wanted somebody to be there afterwards. He just never thought he'd willingly let some one that could kill him near. He didn't see Lexi as a threat though. Apparently the wolf inside of him didn't either because it was not even saying anything.

"I couldn't just leave you like that, I want to be your friend," she left out possibly your girlfriend; she'd do friends first if it meant one day she could have more. She didn't just want to be his friend though; she wanted to hold him like this every time he turned. She hoped he said no to just being friends. He shouldn't have to feel this weak or sick.

She knew that nobody got to see him like this. He was vulnerable and the fear in his eyes wasn't because of her, it was something else. "If you just believe that, maybe you can find a way to see I'm not her, I'd never do anything to hurt you, Mason," she looked away not wanting to have look right at him when he rejected the friends part.

She'd protect him, anything that he needed, she would be willing. It had nothing to do with him being her best friend's boyfriend's Uncle. That wasn't it and she couldn't keep lying to herself about it either. She was in love with him even if he never would be with her. She'd watched him sleep after he'd fell asleep. She'd held him till the fever finally broke wanting to take away the pain, take away the curse.

Mason watched her look away anywhere but at him. He reached up feeling a little less queasy and touched her face. He turned it back to face him, "I know you're not her, you stayed, you talked to me, I heard what you said," he hadn't missed her asking him as the wolf if they could possibly love her. "I want to love you, I just can't," he knew it wasn't what she wanted to hear, but he was too scared to go there yet. She didn't deserve to be a quick lay and leave. He'd closed off his heart from getting hurt again. He'd keep the fact he did feel something a secret because he couldn't risk it again.

She wanted to run away and hide for life because the just friends' line was like a knife. She wanted to love him like he never had felt, but he was still getting over the last love, even if Katherine hadn't loved him back like she would. "Friends," she said it even though she didn't want to just be his friend.

"I just can't hurt you, Lexi," he really couldn't because he did want to be more than just friends to her. He wanted her to be waiting on him after every full moon. He wanted her taking him home, make him feel better. The wolf was pissed at him right now, but he couldn't risk hurting her.

She leaned down against him whispering in his ear, she was over four hundred years old, she wasn't going to cry. There was no way in hell she'd be reduced to that, but it was going happen. "It's too late for that," she said before she was up and gone, before he could even reach for her.

She didn't stop running until she got to the boarding house. She went past Stefan not given him an explanation on why she'd disappeared on him. It wasn't till she got upstairs in the shower to get the dirt off that she finally broke down again. He didn't want to love her, even though she'd seen the way he looked at her. He still rejected what she'd said to him as the wolf.

It had been two days now, since the full moon and Caroline hadn't seen Lexi at all. She'd called, but hadn't gotten an answer. She was worried because she'd seen her leave with Mason. He'd gone down to South Caroline for the weekend. He wanted to catch some waves; it was what he did after the change apparently. She had left Tyler to find out what had happened.

They had been staying in mostly since then and when Mason got back that morning he still looked guilty as hell for something. She had tried getting it out of him, but he just ignored her, which she hated. She'd told Tyler to find out what happened because two of her friends were hiding something. He had refused to do it, but she couldn't be mad at him. They had never had a fight, ever; she saw no reason to fight with him.

"Hey Stefan, where's Lexi at?" Caroline asked walking through the house to where he was at.

"She's locked in her room refusing to come out like a fifteen year old," Damon said before Stefan could reply to Caroline. Lexi had become like a sister to him in last year. Sure he didn't show it, but he thought of her like that. It was the reason he had punched Mason in the face for causing whatever pain he had.

"Damon, leave it alone," Stefan warned he knew that Lexi didn't want to talk about it. He knew that she was hurting over something. He'd told her he'd listen, but she'd just wanted to be alone.

Caroline was confused because things had been going fine she thought. Lexi had taken Mason home; she thought it would lead where her friend wanted to go. Now they hadn't talked in two days and they were avoiding each other. She went to find Lexi because if Mason wasn't talking she'd just have to get it out of Lexi.

"Stupid move," Tyler said, he couldn't believe that Mason had really thrown the 'I want to be friends' line out. "She's not just a vampire, I mean sure she is one, but like Caroline, that doesn't make her up," he was little ticked off. He had no clue why though, but Lexi was his friend too. He got why Mason didn't want go there, but saying just friends. "It's like jamming a stake into her heart, u just used a sharp dagger instead," he added shaking his head.

"You're going to give me advice? The guy that was in love with Caroline Forbes from the time you were fourteen, but never said word one to her?" Mason asked, before he took the shot trying to hit the ball into the corner pocket. "You instead had sex with half the girls in the high school and few women that were questionable," he added missing the shot completely.

He couldn't think at all because his mind was on Lexi. He knew she'd wanted more than to be his friend. She'd left in a blur and he'd gone there later to say he was sorry, but it had led to a right hook corduroy of Damon. He hadn't meant to reject her like that; he should have told her he did feel for her. After that he'd just went to the beach for the weekend. He had to get away especially after the run in with Katherine.

"Says the guy that can't stop having the same dream about a certain girl and wakes up shouting her name," Tyler retorted back before he made his shot getting the ball in the pocket.

He had gone to wake Mason up for their morning run the morning of the full moon. He'd knocked on the door, but when he was about to open it he'd heard his Uncle saying Lexi's name, or more like shouting it. Caroline later told him about seeing Damon, but that had nothing to do with it. You already had to be thinking about that to get those kinds of dreams.

Tyler knew that for a fact because Caroline had given him one those dreams. After he'd woken up she'd carried it out. Hot hadn't begun to describe how it had felt in the dream, then when they actually had that moment. He'd passed out cumming and she hadn't even bitten him either.

"Just play, I can't go there,"

"Maybe those little moments when you watch her, or can't take your eyes off of her, actually mean something," Tyler said, but he would leave it alone, no need to piss Mason off right now. He picked up the beer he'd grabbed from the fridge drinking it. The other thing about Mason, he didn't care if he drank long he didn't get completely trashed.

He was glad that Tyler dropped it because he was already hearing the wolf's growls at him. He hadn't been able to stay on the board any. He was defiantly feeling something for her, but he didn't think he could go there.

He wanted to feel her touch again, the way it cooled the burning on his skin. He wanted to know how it felt to kiss her. He'd actually trusted her to not hurt him. He hadn't done that with any vampire besides Caroline. He'd let his guard down around her and she was the one that got hurt. If he could just take it back, go back, just say thank you, and then kept his mouth shut.

Lexi knew she had to get out of the room, but besides getting up long enough to feed she hadn't. She hadn't felt this much pain when Damon had fake staking her. She wished for that pain right now, not death though. She wouldn't let it drive her to think about that.

Stefan couldn't possibly know what she felt, but she had let him pick her up after she'd stayed in the shower till the water was as cold as she was. She'd wanted to feel the heat she'd felt, but it had been no use. She'd wanted to know why she couldn't have what everybody else had. Stefan had Elena, Caroline had Tyler. Hell even Damon was pinning after Elena, even if he couldn't have her.

Caroline put her purse down getting on the bed; the room was in complete dark. Lexi had her necklace so why it was so dark she didn't know. "What happened?" she looked at her friend trying to figure what had happened. She couldn't talk to her like she could Tyler or feel what she felt.

She had sensed Caroline before she saw or heard her. "I should never have said it, I just didn't think he'd remember when he turned back," she said looking at Caroline; she had said she was falling in love with him out loud. She was stupid to even think he'd want that. "I should have just left, I should just leave now, but I don't want to be out there alone any more," it had been why she'd stayed here.

She told herself it was because she had a place to stay and all. It wasn't though; she wasn't alone any more here. She had her best friend here and she had Caroline, Elena too. She thought she could find love. She was wrong again.

Caroline really was going to kick Mason's ass, couldn't he just say thank you and nothing else. Did he really have to just shatter Lexi's heart in a million pieces? She blamed Katherine again for everything. If she'd never meet Mason none of this would be happening.

She couldn't fix the past, but she would fix the present. Because she couldn't watch the mistake be made before the next full moon they would be together, she vowed. It was thirty days and counting before then and that gave her time.

The End this story more coming.
