A/N: Here's another chapter, enjoy!!
"Julian!" Jesse groaned, obviously annoyed at the interruption.
"It is my room Jesse, and I will not have it de-purified by your sinful actions." Julian said, jokingly. "Now, LET'S GO SWIMMING!" He exclaimed, snapping out of his serious mode, and into the more hyper Julian I've grown to know and love. He grabbed me by the arm and pushed me into my room, closing the door. "HURRY UP AND CHANGE." He screamed from the other side of my door excitedly. I went to my dresser and put on my bathing suit, put my hair in a high pony-tail, grabbed a towel and walked out of my room. What was the point of taking a shower earlier that day, if I was just going to end up back in the pool a couple hours later? I walked into the hall and looked for any sign of my new vampire….family. What surprised me was that I had more trouble thinking the word family then the word vampire. I continued walking towards the stairs when I felt two cold arms snake their way around my waist, and I could feel his abs on my back.
"Boo." Jesse whispered into my ear.
"Was that supposed to scare me?" I laughed. I could feel his lips on my neck. Ironic, no? I laughed at my thought.
"What's so funny?" He murmured against my skin.
"Well, with the new information I have received about you being a vampire and all, I find it quite amusing that you are kissing my neck." I couldn't control my laughter any longer. I was clutching my sides, and surely turning purple. Jesse released my waist and backed up.
"If you prefer me not to do that, I will oblige." He smirked still backing away. I didn't like the space.
"No, come back." I said, pushing my bottom lip into a pout.
"You look so cute when you pout like that." Jesse said, holding onto my waist again, this time from the front of my body. I locked my arms around his neck as he kissed the tip of my nose.
"Oh my GOD, can I not leave you two alone for FIVE MINUTES?!" Julian screamed at us from the top of the stairs.
"Not now Julian." Jesse said through clenched teeth. I started laughing again. You have to love Julian, though he seems to show up at the worst times. I unlocked my arms from Jesse's neck and walked to him.
"Come on Jules, I thought you said you wanted to go swimming." I said, grabbing his hand and dragging him downstairs. Once we made it outside, I finally understood why there was a big tent-like thing covering the pool. Makes much more sense now. "Julian you go in first. Tell me if the water is cold or not." I said, while moving slowly to the edge of the pool to dip my toe in. I felt someone grab me by the waist and pull me into the water. I screamed, but all I heard in response was laughter. Once I got all the water out of my eyes, I saw Julian and Jesse laughing endlessly beside me. The water was cold…to me. "SO-OH NOT FUNNY!" I screamed, stretching the word 'so' into two syllables. It was pretty funny though, and before I knew it I was laughing too. We swam there for a while, well I mostly watched them race, at super-speed might I add. How was I supposed to judge who won when they were moving so quickly, all I could see was water splashing? After I determined that Julian had won, (only because he was pouting and I felt really bad) I went back to my room and took yet another shower. This time when I came out, there was no Jesse on my bed, and no strange family secrets that I needed to know. Instead I saw an iPod on my bed. Jesse must have dropped it. I looked at the time. 8 pm… that couldn't be possible. I looked out my window and sure enough, it was dark outside. I sat down on my bed and put the headphones in my ears. I pressed shuffle and a very, very familiar song came on. In fact it was my favourite song.
It started, I closed my eyes and started singing…
I'm
staring at a broken door I've been waiting here
so l Running
through the monsoon A
half moon's fading from my sight Running through the monsoon Hey! Hey! I'm
fighting all this power Running
through the monsoon Through the monsoon
There's nothing left here anymore
My
room is cold
It's making me insane
But now the moment seems to
have come,
I see the dark clouds coming up again.
Beyond the world,
To the end of time,
Where
the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm,
Into the blue,
And
when I loose myself I think of you,
Together we'll be running
somewhere new
Through the monsoon.
Just me and you
I see a vision in its light
But
now it's gone and left me so alone
I know I have to find you
now
Can hear your name, I don't know how
Why can't we make this
darkness feel like home?
Beyond
the world
To the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting
the storm
Into the blue
And when I loose myself I think of
you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
And nothing can
hold me back from you
Through the monsoon
Coming in my way
Let it send me
straight to you
I'll be running night and day
I'll be with you
soon
Just me and you
We'll be there soon
So soon
Beyond the world
To the end of time
Where
the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And
when I loose myself I think of you
Together we'll be running
somewhere new
And nothing can hold me back from you
Through the
monsoon
Just me and you
Through the
monsoon
Just me and you
"You sing beautifully." Jesse said, standing in my doorway. I blushed almost automatically.
"Um, thanks." I said, still embarrassed. He walked forward and sat at the foot of my bed.
"I've been looking for that." He said, gesturing to the iPod in my hand.
"Oh, here." I handed him the iPod, but he didn't take it.
"Keep it if you like; I have another one in my room." Jesse said, chuckling.
"Thanks" was all I managed to say. He lay back so that he was lying across my legs. I just looked at his face. His perfect features. His eyes; black pools of endless beauty. He turned his head so that he was staring into my eyes as I was into his. He smiled that gorgeous smile of his.
"What?" He asked with an amused tone in his voice.
"Nothing, nothing." I said in my sing song voice.
"No, tell me." He said, sitting up now and leaning closer to me so that our faces were just inches apart.
"Nope," I chuckled back.
"Please?" He said all too innocently. It literally took all my will power not to give in to his gorgeous eyes, but I held my ground.
"No." I said finally. Jesse got an evil look in his eyes as he leaned onto me some more.
"No one says no to me." He said with a Transylvanian accent. I started laughing again.
"I believe I just did." I said, with our lips just inches apart now.
"Do you not know better than to argue with a vampire Mia?" He whispered.
"Oh because you are so scary." I laughed.
"We could argue this forever you know, so why don't you just tell me." Truth was, I couldn't exactly remember. It's not easy keeping your thoughts in check whilst in such proximity to someone like Jesse.
"I would tell you; only I don't remember what it is I was trying to keep from you." I whispered, our noses were now touching.
"That's alright then," he said chuckling, as he moved his lips the rest of the way to meet mine. He moved back a bit to let me breath (on the count of how he really didn't need to), and I saw his eyes flash red. Then I remembered, 'his eyes go red when he wants something'. I laughed.
"Okay now you have to tell me what's so funny." Jesse said, his lips pulling up into a smile.
"Your eyes, they go red when you want something." I whispered while giggling.
"Or someone." He corrected as he kissed me again, this time more passionately. He pushed me back from my sitting position on my bed, as his body pressed against mine. I let out a little sigh as he kissed my jaw. I could feel his lips move into a little smile.
"Not AGAIN?!"
"Julian, GET OUT!" Jesse screamed. Julian just laughed at his reaction.
"I will not stand for this kind of behaviour Jesse." Julian said all too seriously as he grabbed Jesse's arm and started pulling him out of the room. Jesse threw his cell phone at me discreetly as he was being dragged out. I walked out after them, a bit short of breath since my heart rate was going as fast as if I had just run a marathon. I saw a chair positioned across from where mine and Jesse's door was.
"Julian what's the chair for?" Jesse asked from his door. Julian sat down on it and pulled out his PSP.
"I'm going to sit here all night, so no un-holy things happen." Julian said, completely serious. Jesse's face was in total shock and Julian was more focused on his game.
"You've got to be kidding me right?" Jesse said.
"Nope," Julian made a popping sound on the 'p'. I just laughed and closed my door. I heard Jesse's door close as well. Then the phone on my bed started vibrating. I walked over to it, and answered.
"Hello?" I said, unsure if I should be answering Jesse's phone.
"I miss you already, and you're only a door away." I heard Jesse's voice on the other side of the line say. Is he cute or what?
"Oh really?" I questioned.
"Yes really." He sighed.
"Well, I'm just going to go and put on the skimpiest underwear I have and go to sleep." I said, trying to suppress laughter.
"And I thought I fought dirty." Jesse chuckled. "Do you want me to go and hurt my brother to get into your room?" He said, laughing.
"Maybe, maybe not." I replied teasingly.
"I'll go with the maybe." Jesse said.
"Don't hurt Julian!" I almost screamed. "And I'm already in my p.j.'s, I was kidding about the skimpy underwear."
"That's alright, I still would rather be there with you, then here in my boring old room. See you in a bit, and I won't hurt Julian." He said while hanging up. I assumed he was bluffing, so I walked back to the iPod lying on my bed. I put the headphones back into my ears and pressed shuffle again. Another all too familiar song. I started singing again.
I dig my
toes into the sand.
The ocean looks,
like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket.
I lean against the wind,
Pretend that I am weightless
and in this moment I am happy.
Happy. I
wish you were here I lay my head onto the sand I wish you were here The world's a
roller coaster I
wish you were here. I wish you were
here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I
wish you were here
The sky
resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.
I'm counting
UFO's.
I signal them with my lighter.
And in this moment I am
happy, Happy.
I wish you were here
I
wish you were here
I wish you were here
And I am not strapped in.
Maybe I should hold
with care,
But my hands are busy in the air.
Saying
I wish you were...
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you
were here
"Your wish is my command." Someone said from the shadows of my room. Jesse.
"How did you get by Julian?" I asked, once again blushing.
"I was just faster then he was." That's when I head Julian pounding on my door.
"GUYS! COME ON, IT'S NOT FUNNY LET ME IN!" Julian screamed from outside my door.
"You locked the door?" I asked, smirking.
"I'm brilliant am I not?" He said moving toward me. He lay down beside me, as I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Brilliant indeed." I sighed. I felt him chuckle a little.
"Sleep…" He whispered into my hair. He kissed the top of my head, and I fell asleep almost automatically. I guess the days information tired me out more that I had originally thought.
