A/N: we are so sorry for the long wait, but I'm not going to spout out excuses, probably because you've heard them all before…..hopefully it will get a bit more frequent now. I just hope you guys are all still out there…
Jez POV
As we were finishing at the fair, after going on all the rides. I couldn't help but wonder why Morgead actually brought me here, I mean I know he said that he might as well get it over with before I make him go reluctantly but my mind just wondered if there is another motive to this.
"HEY!" I heard someone shout in my face, which snapped me out of my trance and I saw Morgead right in front of me with his hands on either side of me, shaking me.
"Huh? What happened?" I asked him, hoping this will cover up, so he doesn't ask me about what I was thinking.
"Well we were walking back to the car and you just dazed off not listening to a word I was saying to you" he calmly replied.
"Oh, sorry I was just thinking about today and how much fun it was" I wasn't technically lying, I did seriously have fun today, but I didn't want him to know that I might be suspecting something else as well.
Morgead's POV
I believed she had fun today , but I knew her well enough to know that she wasn't telling me the whole truth and I also knew me taking her to the fair will cause some suspicion on her part. So I tried to get into her head to know what she was thinking. But no such luck she was blocking me out completely. I mean she shielded her mind so that no one could get into it and read her thoughts. I hate to admit it but she is better at it that I am, but no way am I going to tell her that or I will never hear the end of it.
So instead of perusing why she was blocking me out (however mad it made me when she did that) I won't ask her because I know if I did then she will ask me why I took her to the fair and try looking in my mind and I couldn't let find out the truth.
The rest of the ride was spent talking about the most random things ever; I just didn't want it to end. I had missed her a lot, not just romantically but even as a friend. She probably thought I was just going to drop her home after this but there was no way I was letting her go so soon. I had 24 Sundays to make up for, and that is only me and her time – we see each other every day, but that last 6 months without her drove me crazy. It had taken all my strength not to get on my bike and ride over to her just to see her.
"... so that was how Claire got juice all over my new leather jacket, I didn't talk to her for a whole week." Jez said – her torso was turned towards me so she could face me. "Are you even listening to me?" she asked trying to look angry, but it was coming out more like she was amused.
"Of course I am... not" I replied with a smirk drawing on my face.
"You are such a hypocrite, I minute ago you were telling me to pay attention!" she said joking.
After the fair was sat in a blissful silence as we always did when we were travelling. But this time it wasn't because we were on a bike, and the wind would capture our words, we were sitting side by side in a car just enjoying each other's presence.
Jez POV
5 minutes after the silence, Morgead started to slow down and park the car. Weren't we suppose to go home? But as I looked around, we were nowhere near home. In fact we were at our favourite hang-out, a little café called 'CHILL' .This was one of the places we kept a secret from the gang because, this is where uncle B used to take when we were kids, so we didn't want to share it with anyone. This café was all the way on the other side of town.
As we entered the café, I didn't question him on why he got us here, this is a place we always come whenever we want to talk about ourselves or just to remember the times when we were young and only cared what happened to each other and no one else. This place brought back so many memories.
"Ahh, look who finally showed up here after what 6-7 months?" the lady behind the counter shouted into the kitchen, as she saw us come in.
"Aunt Megan" I whined, she may not be our real aunt, but we have know her since we were 3 years old. I know it has been too long, but come on she knew me and Morgead too well to know that we would have come by if we weren't 'busy' with other things.
"Now, now Jez you know she has a right to do that, if you hadn't gone away for so long this wouldn't have happened" Morgead said sitting beside me, at our favourite booth, "isn't that right Aunt Megan?"
"Suck up" I muttered, knowing full well that he heard me.
"That's right Morgead, if this young lady doesn't keep running away and going all over the country to visit her cousin, she would have come to visit." As Aunt Megan was saying this Morgead just gave me a look 'see I am not the only one that misses you'.
"Well Aunt Megan, you won't have to worry about me going away for a long time, and I will come visit you very chance I get."
"That's all I ask dear. Ohh and also a couple of weeks ago Ash, Quinn and the gang stopped by, you might want to go see them soon too. Alright I will now shut-up and get your food."
God! Ash, Quinn I hadn't seen them in ages. Ash is my cousin and Quinn is his best mate, we use to hang-out all the time whenever me met up... it use to be just the four of us most of the time, two of them and Morgead along with me, if we got together we were inseparable. It would be so good to see them again.
"Ash and Quinn, I haven't heard from them in months, how come it is just when you come back, do they remember... I mean why not come when you are away?" Morgead said teasingly.
I flashed him my most adorable smile "well I am the only girl among us, better looking and the most important person in all your lives, therefore they give me more time, than they give to you."
Morgead just mumbles something, then goes on to giving the most adorable pout. I couldn't help myself and I burst out laughing and this caused him to start laughing with me.
The rest of the night was wonderful; we talked about what we did in the 6 months we were away from each other, how he broke up with Lucy, how I got 'together' with Hugh and just random stuff. We didn't realise the time until my phone rang out telling me I have a text message.
Hey, when you coming home? Important stuff to talk about… the boys are here and they seem to be trying to tell me that you're a vampire (like I don't know that already). Hugh
Huh? Why would Pierce and Val do that? I mean they know full well that Hugh is human and only Claire know about me being a half-vampire. They also knew full well the importance of not just telling anybody about our secret.
When I checked my phone, I saw the time it was half ten, we needed to get home. I wasn't sure what they were up to but I could tell they were up to something.
"Hey, Morgead lets head home, Hugh just texted me and something came up which I need to sort out now." I said.
"Sure, let's get going… what happened?" he asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing just some stuff" I don't know why, but for some reason I had a feeling that Morgead had something to do with it. The boys knew full well that me and Morgead had plans tonight so why would they go over to my house knowing I wasn't there?
We rode home in silence, every so often I could feel a tingle in my mind telling me that Morgead was trying to my thoughts, but as usual I successfully blocked him.
Morgead's POV
We were having such a blast, but that damn text had to ruin it. I could tell she was absorbed in her own thoughts, and she was biting her lip, a habit I knew she had when she was lost in her thoughts. I tried to see what she was thinking but she blocked me out, which bothered me slightly, she usually kept her mind open to me unless we were in a fight or something.
Finally she let her guard down and I heard a particularly loud thought she was having. "I am going to kill pierce and Val!"
That was when I realised that Val and Pierce had gone ahead with the plan , and it hadn't gone well.
"Yo Jez, you ok? You seem distressed." I asked her as I parked the car, trying to distract her from the situation at hand.
"Yeah I'm fine just need to do something" saying that she jumped out the car and ran up to her apartment. Before I could say anything or do anything she was out of sight. I knew once she got in there it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that I was also involved.
I ran up behind her after locking the car, and calling her name, but she didn't turn around.
Thankfully, because of my life as a vampire I was able to run up the three flights of stairs and reach her front door just as she opened it.
Val and Pierce were calmly sitting on the couch, while Claire and Pierce were sitting opposite them.
"What the hell is wrong with you guys?" she said, without even saying hello.
"Jez!" Val said in surprise.
"Since when do we just go around telling people we are vampires?" she said, confusing filling her voice.
Pierce didn't answer her and Val had that human in the headlights look. I sighed and rubbed my temples, guessing what was coming next.
Our silence confused her even more.
"Can someone please tell me what is going on?" she said in nobody in particular. Hugh got up and I tried to ignore him rubbing her shoulder.
"The only reason I can think that you would tell Hugh about the vampire stuff is that you wanted him to break up with me. But why would you-?" her voice trailed off as she began thinking in her her head. I could practically hear her mind working in the awkward silence in the room.
"That's why you took me to the fair!" she yelled accusingly and me. I wasn't quick enough to defend myself , which apparently was confirmation in her book.
"It wasn't like that—" I started.
"You lied to me! This whole night has been a lie! You were just trying to keep me away so these two idiots could do your dirty work!"
"Jez! Please list—" she wasn't going to let me get a word in edgeways.
"You know what, forget it, I don't know what the hell is up with you, but I don't care!"
I took a step toward her and she took a step back. Closer to Hugh.
"It was for you—" I tried again.
"I'm a grown up Morgead! I don't need you or anyone else looking out for me, or telling me what to do. Now get out of my house!"
Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. We always looked out for each other and her telling me she didn't need me anymore broke my heart even more than seeing her with Hugh. Her words sounded even harsher in the silence of the room.
"Dude, maybe we should.." Pierce tilted his head toward the door, suggesting we did as she said.
I looked to her again, trying to read any emotion radiating off her and waiting for her to take back what she just said.
"I'm serious Morgead," she said in a soft calm voice. I would rather she was yelling at me than being all calm. She turned around and walked into her bedroom closing the door behind her. Claire got up from her spot on the couch and followed her. Val tugged on my arm and I let me guide me toward the door. I wasn't quite sure what had just happened there, and I was still processing it.
"So I'll see you around?" Hugh said, before closing the door on me.
A/N: Poor Morgead =( Don't forget to review with your thoughts!
