Zero didn't show up for class the next day, nor did he for a whole week. I was beginning to get worried about him. Did they lock him up in a cage? Yuuki had found out about what had happened and wouldn't shut up about it.

"Are you sure you're ok? I can't believe Zero would do that!" She kept on repeating day after day. She never admitted to being Zero's personal donar. The bandage would be off and on her neck constantly. I was starting to get tired of it. I finally broke.

"You know. You don't need to hide it from me." I stopped in the courtyard of the school, looking down at the ground. I hadn't been happy since that night. I didn't know, if I ever would be, not without Zero around.

"What are you talking about?" Yuuki asked, shocked. She had no clue that I had figured it out. She was oblivious to everything. She was always getting herself into trouble. Yuuki was the first one to be pushed by all those fan girls everyday. I looked up at her neck. The bandage wasn't there today.

"I know you're Zero's personal donor." I looked back down at the ground and began to walk again.

"How could you say something like that?" Yuuki yelled, while running after me.

"It's obvious. The chairman told me Zero had attacked you, and I just put everything together. Between the constant bandages around your neck, and how you're always worn out, Yuuki you don't need to hide it from me. I don't really care. All I want to know is if Zero is ok." That's all I really did care about. I was hoping Yuuki would tell me where he was, so I could go running to him. I missed him. I wanted him to know that would he be his friend no matter what.

"It really is obvious, huh? Zero told me to stop wrapping my neck up. Of course, I didn't listen." Yuuki laughed. I sighed.

"Do you know where he is?" I asked.

"Yeah, he's in the Headmaster's spare bedroom. You can go visit him, but I can come if you want."

"No," I almost yelled. "I mean. I need to talk to him alone. He has to understand that I'm here for him." Yuuki nodded. She had probably done the same thing. Zero didn't realize that he wasn't alone in the world. He had Yuuki, Headmaster cross, and me. I needed him just as much. I began to walk a little faster.

"Take the night off. I know how badly you want to see him." Yuuki sighed. She had a lot of work on her hands, but I quickly took the over. I ran my way to the Headmaster's building. The spare room was up two flights of stairs, but that didn't stop me. When I finally got to the door, I was out of breath. I knocked furiously.

"Zero. It's Juliette. Let me in." I yelled. I hoped he didn't ignore me. The door creaked open slightly. I couldn't even see his face.

"What do you want?" He asked. Why was he getting an attitude with me?

"We need to talk now let me in." I persisted.

"I don't think that's such a good idea." Before he even finished, I had kicked my way through the door.

"I guess we're just going to have to do this the hard way." I glared at Zero. His eyes were wide with shock. He should now better. I'm not Yuuki. I make sure people listen. I sat on his bed and sighed. "Why haven't you been coming to class? You're grades are going to start slipping." Zero didn't answer. "We've also needed you out there. Yuuki and I have trouble keeping those stupid girls under control. We don't have your bone-chilling glares to aide us." Zero had taken seat, leaning up against the wall beside me. There was a long silence. I kind of figured he wasn't going to say much. "Nothing's different Zero. Yes, I'm a little mad that you didn't tell me you were a vampire, but I'm still your friend. Nothing can change that."

"I had warned you. It was your fault." He said, coldly.

"Well I'm sorry, if I was trying to be so kind as to attempt to cheer you up a little. You're always so mopey. It's sad. I want to see you smile." I said. It was true. I knew he had a beautiful smile somewhere in him.

"Well, give it up! It's never going to happen. We're never going to be allies." With that, I stood up in an instant.

"How can you say that, when you're feeding off of Yuuki everyday? If you can be allies with her, why not me? I'm not begging you to drink my blood, but I am begging you to stop being so cold. We both need a friend. Just listen to me, Zero." I had sat down infront of him and grabbed his wrists. He wasn't getting away from me. At least I hoped not. Zero wasn't looking at me. He hadn't since I walked in the room.

"Yuuki has nothing to do with this." He objected.

"Yuuki has everything to do with this. You did the same thing to her remember? We need each other all three of us. I mean who, other than us, are going to protect her from that bastard, Kaname?" I bent my head down, so I could see his eyes. I knew that would get to him. "He is the one, who started all this."

"Why are you doing this? Why do you care?" Zero asked.

"For the same reason, why I yelled at you for not speaking to me, before. I want to be someone you can trust, Zero. I want to be someone you can have fun with. I want to be your friend." Tears were starting to fill my eyes. I felt like we were going around in circles. Could he ever trust me? Zero stayed silent. "If it's the only way we can stay friends, then fine drink up." I had officialy gone crazy for this guy. Zero pushed me away.

"Don't ever say that." He yelled. I was shocked. He didn't hesitate at the fountain.

"What else am I supposed to do, huh? It seems the only way you can get close to any body is if you're drinking their blood." I hadn't realized I had gone too far, but that didn't stop me. "It's like you're using Yuuki as a toy."

"Shut up! You know nothing!" Zero yelled back.

"That's right. I don't, but that's only because you won't let me in that claustrophobic bubble of yours!" My voice grew louder. I wouldn't be surprised, if Headmaster Cross could hear us.

"I don't want to be your friend! Don't you get it! You just barged in here out of no where, and I'm supposed to except that! Sorry, but that's not going to happen!" That hurt…a lot. It was like a knife had been stabbed straight through my heart. After everything, it was all just a lie. My words had become sobs and my anger had become despair. Zero walked to me. He stood there for a moment. "I'm sorry, but it has to be like this. It's the only way to keep you safe." He tried to put his hand on my shoulder, but I slapped it away. With one look and one word, I knew there was no chance of regaining friendship, but that didn't stop me. I glared at him, straight into his eyes and whispered one word…

"Asshole." I ran out the door. Zero and I were never meant to be.
