The last chapter was really short because I wrote it at midnight and it felt like I had been typing for hours. So when I posted it I was rather surprised at how short it was... sorry and thank you to anybody and everybody out there that's reading this 3
"Ms. Lexi it's time for dinner you need to wake up! "said Rachel as she gently shook Lexi's shoulder.
Lexi rolled over and groaned "Just five more minutes then I'll get up just five more minutes."
"You can't sleep five more minutes. Terrence is already downstairs waiting for you!" Rachel exclaimed as she shook Lexi's shoulder again.
"Ugh fine I'll get up! " grumbled Lexi as she tumbled out of bed and walked towards the door.
"Your not going downstairs looking like that are you?" said Rachel as she looked at Lexi with amusement.
Lexi sighed and walked towards the mirror grumbling "What's wrong with what I look like? I look fin... Oh my god I look awful! "
Lexi gasped as she looked at her reflection in the mirror her long brown hair was so tangled it looked like a rat's nest.
"Rachel you could of told me I looked so awful!" Lexi growled as she started brushing her hair.
Rachel giggled and said "I didn't let you go downstairs did I?"
Lexi snorted as she threw her brush on to the bed and ran into her closet to change her clothes, she put on a pair of black shorts with a white tank top that had a heart on it.
" Ok lets go I'm starving! " said Lexi as she skipped out the door and down the stairs.
"Took you long enought to get here!"Terrence growled when Lexi skipped into the dining room.
Lexi glared at Terrence and said "Why you so grumpy Terrence your the one who said I needed to sleep."
"Not for five hours!" Terrence snapped as Lexi sat down.
"Well then what the hell am I suppossed to do? Everyone has just gone on with their life and left me behind. I have absolutley nothing to do here no one to talk to. I've read more books and watched more TV then I ever did in the last seventeen years of my life back home!" Lexi yelled as she stood up.
Everyone in the room stopped and stared at Lexi after her outburst.
"What just because I never complain you think I don't get mad? Well guess what I am as mad as hell my Dad practically sold me off to that Finn jerk to keep his RR out of prison! It doesn't matter how many times he says it was for his family I know he did it for his RR! He always loved them more then me." Lexi had started out yelling but towards the end of her speech her voice had dropped to a whisper.
"What does she mean her father sold her off ? Didn't she agree to come here on her own? " thought Terrence as he looked at Lexi in shock.
"Everybody leave the room!" commanded Terrence as he stood up and walked towards Lexi who was sitting in the chair her shoulders shaking with quiet sobs.
Terrence knelt down next to Lexi's chair after everyone walked out of the room and said "Lexi look at me."
Lexi slowly turned her head to face Terrence there were tears streaming down her face even though she hadn't made a sound.
"What do you want?" whispered Lexi as she quickly looked away.
Terrence stood up and picked Lexi up bridal style and said "Come on let's go talk."
Lexi didn't say anything but she buried her head into Terrence's shoulder and cried.
"Where are we? " sniffled Lexi as she finally stopped crying.
Terrence smiled and said "We're on the roof."
"W-We're on the r-roof?" stuttered Lexi as she wrapped her arms around Terrence's neck and cautiously looked down.
"Are you afraid of heights? smirked Terrence as he instinctively held her closer.
Lexi blushed and stammered "Of course not I was just wondering how we got up here without me knowing."
"I jumped" said Terrence calmly as if it was nothing.
Lexi stared at Terrence as if he had lost his mind and said "You jumped! from the ground? The house is like six stories high! "
Terrence chuckled and said "I didn't jump from the ground I jumped from the sixth floor balcony."
"Oh ok but, still that's pretty impressive" said Lexi as she once again peeked over the edge of the roof.
"Well I am a vampire so it wasn't that hard" stated Terrence calmly as he sat Lexi down on her feet.
As Terrence sat Lexi on her feet she quickly grabbed his arm for support and shivered.
"You really are afraid of height aren't you?" said Terrence as looked at Lexi's pale face.
Lexi sighed and said " Yes I'm afraid of heights I have been ever since I fell out of a tree when I was seven."
"Don't worry we'll go down in a minute but, I thought you might like to see this" said Terrence as he pointed at the night sky that was covered in stars twinkling like diamonds in the light.
"It's beautiful! " whispered Lexi as she looked up at the sky in awe.
"Are you ready to go down?" asked Terrence after they had stood on the roof in silence for a few minutes.
Lexi slowly nodded her head and whispered "I'm sorry."
"For what?" asked Terrence as he looked down at Lexi.
Lexi looked up at the sky for minute before saying "For yelling at you. I was mad at my dad and I took it out on you."
Terrence stared at the sky for a minute before saying "Why were you mad at your dad?"
"Because I haven't talked to him since I left the house. He hasn't called me to ask me how I'm doing. My mom and my best friend Anna are the only ones I really talk to." whispered Lexi as she started to cry.
Terrence was quiet for a moment before he said "You said your father sold you off to keep the RR out of prison what did you mean by that?"
Lexi sniffled and said "My dad has always loved the RR more then me or my brother. Do you know where he was on the night of my seventeenth birthday? "
"Where was he?" said Terrence as he held onto Lexi's shoulder to keep her from falling.
"He was out on a mission. My brother who is in college three hours away came home to eat dinner with me for my birthday but, my dad went out on a mission. You know he didn't even ask me if I was willing to come here? " Lexi said as she tried to sit down on the roof.
Terrence stared at Lexi in shock and said " What do you mean he didn't ask you?"
Lexi laughed bitterly and said " I woke up the day after my birthday and walked downstairs to here my dad telling my mom that I was going to come here and marry you to keep the RR and their families out of prison. Of course my mom and brother would of gone to prison too. You know if my dad had asked me if I would come here I would have said yes?"
"You mean you didn't really have a choice in coming here?" said Terrence as he wrapped his arm around Lexi's shoulders.
"Pretty much I probably could have said no but, I couldn't let my mom and, brother go to prison could I? Not to mention the RR's families. You know coming here isn't so bad I've learned lots of new things and I met you and Rowan and, Rachel thought it would be nice if you guys would talk more." said Lexi as she leaned into Terrence's side.
Terrence smiled and said "I don't understand how you can be angry one minute, sad the next and, then tell me your glad you came here."
Lexi grinned and said with a smirk "It's my specialty. Now can we please go down."
"Ok hop on my back" said Terrence with a smirk as he bent down so Lexi could climb on.
Lexi giggled as she wrapped her arms around Terrence's neck and said "The last time I had a piggyback ride was when I was ten!"
" Hold on tight! " said Terrence as he jumped off the roof.
Lexi gasped when Terrence landed on the ground and said " Oh my god that was so fun can we do that again sometime?"
Terrence stared at Lexi as if she were crazy before saying " You want me to jump off the roof again?"
"Not now silly but sometime I want to do that again it was really fun!" said Lexi as she rolled her eyes.
Terrence shook his head and said "You really are a strange girl. Your scared of heights but you want me to jump off the roof with you on my back again!"
"I told you it's my specialty" Lexi said with a grin.
Terrence chuckled as they started to walk towards the door and said "You are special that's for sure."
