That no good…..UGH I am so mad I can't even finish my sentences. I am so confused. He kisses me and then basically tells me I am nothing to him. I'm just a plain silly human, whatever. I slammed the front door. Aunt Dottie and Uncle Bob looked at me curiously. I went running up the stairs.

"Wait a minute! Kris what's wrong!" they shouted after me. Tears went down my face. I went up to my room and shut the door. I got in my pajamas, closed my blinds and door, and turned my iPod on loud. Someone knocked on the door.

"GO AWAY!" I said.

"Kris we need to talk." Aunt Dottie said poking her head through the door. I shook my head looking at her. My pillow started to get wet.

"There's nothing to say." I said. She walked over slowly and sat down on my bed. She rubbed my arm.

"I have something to say." She said with a slight chuckle. "You remind me of myself when I was your age. Someone hurt you and you shut yourself out from the world. I remember when my first boyfriend dumped me harshly and I did the same thing. But I still went to school and that's where I met your Uncle Bob. Everything turned out fine. I am sure everything will turn out fine for you." She said and left with the door closed.

The whole day and the next day I just lay in bed. I did nothing. I barely even ate. I just laid there. Moping I guess. Uncle Bob and Aunt Dottie would take turns bringing me food. They would ask me how I am and I would start crying again. By the end of the day my eyes were dry and I couldn't cry anymore. I actually got up for the first time. I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I heard a soft nock.

"I'm busy. Go away!" I told whoever it is. I started feeling sick. I turned off the light and opened the curtains it was a starry night tonight. I sat down on my bed.

"Kris it's me. Can I come in?" Tony's little voice called to me. I chuckled slightly.

"Come in." I said to him. He cracked open the door and his little face peeked at me. He walked in and came to me wearing his cape. He came to my bed and I helped him up. He sat in my lap and I held him like a teddy bear.

"Kris, why are you upset? Is it because of Gregory?" he asked me. I sucked in a breath.

"Well Tony, we…" I couldn't even finish. He looked up at me.

"Well what? Did you get in a fight?" he asked me.

"Yeah I guess you can say that." I said.

"Oh and uh, Rudolph and Anna want to see you." He said. I smiled.

"They can come and see me now." I told him. He looked towards the doors.

"You can come in!" he said and they walked in. I laughed. They sat on the bed too.

"Kris, oh my! Your hair!" Anna said. I smiled at her. It was in a messy bun with stands of hair falling out.

"Yeah, I know. I haven't been able to do it lately." I said. She nodded in understandment.

"Kris, would this be a bad time to mention Gregory and his family are staying the night in the basement?" Tony said cautiously. I looked at him.

"Uh…I guess." I said. My heart started to ache at the sound of his name. There was a knock at my door. Gregory stood in the doorway, looking down at the floor. I looked at him. His eyes lifted up and looked into mine.

"We better get going. Come on lets go play in Tony's room." Rudolph said and they all went running past Gregory. He took a hesitant step into my room. I got up off of my bed.

"Hey." He said. I stared at him. I started getting angry.

"After what you said to me all you can say is 'hey'?" I said approaching him he backed up against the now closed door.

"Yeah. Please control your anger. It's unbearable." He said wincing. I stopped a few feet away from him, confused.

"What do you mean control my anger?" I asked him. He looked at me with a sly smile.

"Well, I probably should have told you the other day. We vampires aren't really supposed to bite humans. See, you should only bite either human or vampire if you choose them as a mate, even if it is accidental. Once you've bitten this person you are connected in almost every way. You can feel this person, hear their thoughts, if they are apart from each other for a long time-for example 2 days- you start to feel horrible and then you realize you can't live without this person. And," he started to look down at the floor at this point, "the only way we aren't connected is physically." I looked away.

"You knew this the other day? Why didn't you tell me? Why were you angry with me?" I asked and he shook his head.

"No I wasn't angry at you. I was angry at me. I shouldn't have bitten you. I thought if we could be separated long enough everything will fade but it didn't."
He said.

"So this is why I can hear your thoughts?" I asked him and he nodded. "And why I have been feeling sick?" He nodded some more. I took a step closer to him. He couldn't even move now he was that close to the wall. I was so close I could see his chest move with each breath he took. I could feel it too. I could feel his emotions swirl inside him. The excitement, the fear, the hope, and lust? No, it's love. Now he took a step towards me and I kept backing up until my balcony doors open and I was leaning against the balcony. He was the one close to me now.

"Kris, I should have never said that stuff to you. I am sorry, truly sorry. I can't live without you Kris." He said and put his arms slowly on my waist and pulled me closer. He looked in my eyes and my arms slowly rested on top of his forearms. He leaned his head down low enough to where his forehead was resting on my forehead. I closed my eyes and breathed in the fresh air. "Kris, I love you."

He spoke softly. He leaned his head down lower to where his lips brushed mine ever so softly. He leaned in further and kissed me. A tear escaped the corners of my eyes as I gently pushed him back. He looked at me as if he wasn't surprised but disappointed. I looked up at him his head was hung down low and then he looked up to me, his blood red eyes glistening in the moonlight. I started shaking my head.

"No Gregory. Not after what you did. I won't forgive you that easily." I said. He halfheartedly smiled at me and wiped away the tears from my eyes.

"I understand." He said and with that turned around and trudged out the door. I turned and looked away from my bedroom door. I rested my elbows on the concrete balcony. I didn't care that my face was tear stricken. I just let the tears slowly run on my face freely. I don't remember moving from that spot, I guess I fell asleep and someone carried me in.
