Chapter ten
- I can't believe you've got the guts to call her now, after everything she's been through! Yeah, you get to talk to her, but I swear I'll kill you if... Alright.
Lissy's voice came from downstairs, followed by her footsteps as she walked up the stairs. I sat up straight on my bed when she opened my door, with the phone in her hand.
- It's Jonathan, she said shortly. I froze on place. What could he possibly want me? I couldn't let my hopes build up, just so he could break them like he had before. She handed me the phone, and I emidiatly put if to my ear, eager to hear his voice. Lissy was still standing by the door, looking upset. I gestured her to get the hell out of there, and she rolled her eyes before leaving me alone.
- Hello? I whispered.
- It's me. I regonized his voice instantly, and the feelings surged inside me, a mix of joy and sorrow.
- Can we talk? he continued. It was quiet for a moment. What did he mean?
- Ehm, sure. About what? I asked, confused.
- I... made the wrong decicion leaving you. Maybe we could talk and start things over? he said, and I was overwhealmed for a moment, unable to talk. He made a mistake! He wanted me back! I smiled my biggest smile into the phone; forgetting he was waiting for an answer.
- Julia? If you can't... I mean, if you can't forgive me... he said sounding sad, but I interrupted him.
- Of course we can talk, I smiled. I thought I heard him sigh, but I wasn't quite sure.
- Bye Julia, I'm leaving for work now, Lissy shouted, her words followed by the sound of the door, closing. A sudden thought hit me.
- Maybe you could come over? Lissy just left for work, I said. Jonathan hesitated, but then agreed. My smile went wider. He was coming over!
- So? I said, encouraging him to begin. He sat in front of me on my bed, and now I was eager to him to start talking. After exchanging all the polite phrases, the atmosphere in the room had changed.
- I understand if you don't want to... forgive me, but I am truly sorry I've hurted you. I didn't understand... It was so early... he said, his voice low at the end.
- What was early? I asked, curious. I didn't get that part.
- Us. I mean, we have known each other for only some weeks, and been on two dates. I guess our feelings were deeper than I understood, he said, while looking at me with a tormented glance.
- I guess they were, I mumbled, turning my gaze towards my hands instead, unable to look at him.
- How would you feel about us... starting over? he asked with a sudden, intense tone that made me look up and meet his gaze. His blue eyes were just as intense as his tone. I blinked, dazzled.
- Uhm... sure, I said. Very intelligent answer, Julia.
- Really? A smile played in the corner of his lips. I nodded.
He leaned forward, and put his arms around me. I sighed happily, and breathed in the smell that was one hundred procent Jonathan.
- I love you, he whispered in my ear. I smiled, and held him tighter. We sat like that for some minutes, before he let go, and looked at me with a peaceful smile.
- Though I am not sure you will... want to be with me, after hearing what I have to say, he said, serious. The smile disappeared from his face and was replaced by a worried expression.
- What is it?
- My family, they aren't exacly... normal, he began. I nodded. That much I had figured out on my own.
- What are they, then? I wanted to know, curious and terrifyed at the same time. My intunition told me it wasn't good. Jonathan hesitated.
- They are... he dropped his eyes and suddenly became very intrested in his nails.
- Vampires.
