Chapter 8 - Jelousy Hits a Right Note
A/N OMG! Its been so long! I was reminded in an email about a pm...somebody asked me to do an update soon! So here it is for you :) so so so glad you like my stories it means a lot to me! :D I don't have an exuse for not keeping up!...I just forgot O.O :( which is depressing! But I'm back now! :D Jesse Drake xxx
LUCY POV
It was that girl. He was dating that girl. THE girl who put me through hell in primary...she made my days depressing for 7 years. Then we went to Helios~Ra and gained strength and confidence...and he was DATING her. I thought our connection meant something but obviously nothing to a heartless vampire like him. I then reminded myself that I too, was in a solid relationship. I loved Ross I could never, ever leave him. Unless...Nicholas liked me back...yes, I admit it I fell in love with this boy...and everything about him... His smile - so serious. His eyes - very meltable. His style - casually smart...?! His hair - tousled and black/brown. His complextion - beautifully pale. His nose - perfectly shaped. Need I go on? Just honestly and truly gorgeous. I might need to leave Ross after all if these feelings continue, and if, just if, these magical feelings and 'moments' continue to get in my everyday semi-normal life. I stake vampires...no biggie. Jesse was going to freak out if I let this freakshow girl into our home, but oh well if she comes with Nicholas then I'll take it anyday. I also noticed Sebastian's absence. That would also upset Jesse as I believe/have a feeling she has a strong connection with him almost as I did with Nicholas probably equally as strong in which I understand, she has a boyfriend but is in love with another and no bloody clue what to do. I turned my attention towards Nicholas. I smiled briefly in his direction while melting into his eyes...but from the corner of my eye came Rhian she smiled at me, but in that sickly sweet kind of way. The kind that I disliked with an over-ruling passion but if it was what Nicholas wanted then...I really, really needed to stop thinking about Nicholas and the effects he was having on me and instead remind myself how happy I was with Ross and that nothing should change that. After all me and Ross understand each other in a way nobody else could. He was my best friend and my lover. What more could I ask for? But Nicholas was like an irritable scratch in the back of my mind and probably would be for a while, but hopefully not for long. I gestured them inside and pointed in the direction of our living room. They filed in one-by-one and after checking my hair once over in the mirror then following them in.
Nicholas POV
I looked back into the hallway hoping to catch Lucy's eye. Instead I saw her fixing her hair in the mirror. I smiled to myself secretly hoping it was for me, but that was just a dream. I presume it would stay that way. Rhian by this point had taken my distracted movements as an opportunity to latch onto my arm like a leech annoying but with the right treatment possible to get rid of, leeches could kill...it wouldn't be her latch that would kill me that sickly smile could knock anyone dead and not in a good way. I smiled back though, in what I hoped to be an equally sickly smile. She didn't flinch. She was an expert. Yeuch. Lucy's mother's skin was young looking but her eyes were old and worn. I felt sorry for her. They were red from...well I'm no expert but I guess, lack of sleep and crying. It was scary how thin she was too. She was covered in blankets but you could still tell from her unnaturally defined cheekbones. No wonder they were angry. I'm quite surprised they haven't killed us yet. Yet. We awkwardly sat down on their leather couches. Not Rhian though of course not she thumped herself down like it was home. " Just make yourself at home then" Lucy said sarcastically " It appears one of you already have though.." that brought a small smile to my face. Rhian scowled. Obviously and Lucy's mum quietly hissed at her not to be rude. Jesse was nicer and slightly less sarcastic but only slightly. She started by saying " Thanks for coming guys, I guess." she was really weary and unsure. "I don't know if you know but a few years ago our dad was killed, not an accident, by your parents. Not you Rhian. And...emm...they claimed it to be an accident but really who could fully drain somebody and say it was an accident. That's about it really." Now we knew. We had kind of guessed it though, it was predictable and over-hearing our parents conversation pushed our theories forward, but still we were all taken by surprise. We had tea and biscuits and made awkward small chat and then out of nowhere Lucy stared at Rhian, then me, then Rhian and then back to me. Then she left. I didn't know where. 10 minutes later I started to feel ill emotionally or physically I had no idea but I got up and left for the front garden to...get some fresh air? I'm a vampire yes...but I needed to clear my head of the dramatic events unfolding around my life. I walked out the door to find Lucy there too. Sitting down on the front lawn legs hugged to her chest. I went over and sat down beside her. We sat in the dark with no conversation for a while until she spoke "Aren't you going back to see your darling o' dear Rhianna or whatever." she was jelous. It had worked. Just not in the way I had hoped.
" What about Ross?" I said.
"What about him?"
"He's your boyfriend"
"I know that and..."
"Your jelous of me and Rhian"
"That obvious"
"Yeah. It really was. You weren't the only one holding a jelousy grudge though.."
"Who?"
"Just some random guy I know..."
A/N Sorry it took so long, no exuse this time. Its not much and I'm not too sure what to do from here. Writers block is annoying. Really but anyway I hope you enjoyed it and I'll update soon as! Jesse Drake xxx Any suggestions very welcome :)
