Thank you guys sooooooooo much for all the reviews. Keep them coming. I don't think that I'll be able to update on any Friday because I have some things to do after school, but not till later so I'll try to give you guys a chapter but, don't be upset if there is not one here. I just wanted to let you know please don't be mad and don't hate Brydon. You can hate…. Tim…. I guess…. if you really want to. I'm not really sure if I should have just said that but oh well. Okay now here is, the chapter.
Packing
Surprisingly they both got to work. Tanya grabbed me by the arm and pulled me upstairs. We went into the guest bedroom, which had all of my things in it, mostly clothing. Tanya likes to shop over the computer because you can do it 24/7so she got me tons of things. She pulled a suitcase out from under my bed that I didn't even know was there.
" Sorry about you having to leave. Peder is a very sweet man along with his wife and children." She said.
" Children?" This guy has more then one kid?
" Oh well, I only know one of his son's. He has two. The other is the boy that was changed. Well the one son that I do know his name is Matt. He's 14 and can be a handful at times. He can be very wild. It will good for him to have an older brother." She said.
" Wait, the other boy is older." It wasn't a question. I said as I watched her put my clothes into the suitcase.
" Yes he's about your age. I don't remember exactly, maybe 18. I'm not really sure though. I know you, you can take care of your self."
I was quiet as I helped put my belongings slowly into the suitcase. " Thank you for letting me stay here and I'm sorry that I've thrown your lives into chaos. Its really horrible for me to have after all that you have done for me." I said to her.
" Oh don't even thank us we would have never turned you away. I really don't want you to leave, honestly but Brydon, he's…. he's…."
" He hates me." I said finishing her sentence for her.
" No he doesn't hate you. He's just confused and frustrated with this. I think that he really is upset with himself about biting you in the first place. I can tell that he really does like you. Any of us could tell that he does. I think he's just afraid of loving you."
" I don't know anymore." I said diverting my eyes from her.
" As for Decklen he won't part from you. I won't be surprised if he shows up here in a few seconds."
Just then there was a sharp knock on the door. Brydon was standing in the doorway. " Can I talk to you?" He asked quietly and gently. He was looking at Tanya as if telling her something.
" I'll be back later." She said then left the room.
Brydon came in and closed the door behind him. I turned my attention to the clothes on the bed.
" I'm sorry. I've been a real asshole and I disserve to be treated like one. You did nothing for me to treat you like I have for the last week." He said.
I couldn't say anything. I was just so shocked that he just said that he was sorry to me. I just looked down at the suitcase. He sat down on the bed next to the suitcase. We didn't say anything. He touched the ribs of the light aqua blue tank top that was lying on top. " Please say something." He pleaded.
" I honestly have no idea what to say." I mumbled
" Well that's a start. Ember," He said my name so delicately as if it was full of love. " I want you to stay." He said softly.
I looked up from the suitcase and into his eyes. " How do I know your not lying to me?" I asked
He was quiet for a moment, as if speechless. Then suddenly he spoke. " You don't. It's whether or not you find me honorable enough to be telling the truth." He said then got up and left without me being able to say a word.
Ugh why does he do that? He just says something then leaves without a response. I want to believe him but I'm not sure if I can. I know I have to be able to trust him if I want this, us, to go further. There's no hope left in that now though. I'm leaving. I'll most likely never see him again. That hurts to think that. Crap. That shouldn't hurt but it does hurt because I know he doesn't feel the same way I do.
