After I admitted that Jake and I were Soulmates an eerily silence fell in the room. I didn't really want to look at anyone so I started to shift my gaze towards the back of the room.

'Is that a security camera?' I asked, breaking the silence.

'Well that was totally random,' Shelby pointing out the obvious but looked anyway to where I was point at.

'Should we destroy it?' Jake asked with mischievous glint in his blue-green eyes. We all rolled our eyes at him. Shelby and I looked at one another and I nodded. We were thinking of the same thing. We thought that Jake's idea was good but we didn't want to admit it.

'Well we could destroy the tape,' I said

'Well you would think it would be weird that there is suddenly no footage of what happened this evening,' Xavier said in a kind of scholar kind of way. Before I could answer him, the power went out. I smiled and got out my torch and turned it on.

'Well I was going to say that a sudden black out could cause the cameras to not work and they wouldn't get suspicious...but I guess a black out just came,' I smiled at Xavier and walked into the little office to try and find the computer that the security cameras were hooked up to. Once we found it we got the tape an "accidently dropped it and stepped on it".

'Oh carp!' I said as I looked at the time on my phone. I read a minute to midnight. I was so grounded at least for a month when I get home. Shelby looked at me with a confused looked. I showed Shelby my phone, she groaned.

'We are in deep shit when we get home,' Shelby muttered to no one in particular. The boys just smiled at us. I really want to flip them off but controlled myself but Shelby didn't have much self control and flipped them off. This shocked Xavier but made Jake grin like the Mad Hatter. I gritted my teeth but kept walking.

'So who should take who home?' Shelby asked. We standing under the COLA since it were pouring down rain and I don't think we wanted to chat next to our cars when it was pissing down raining.

'Well I think you girls should go together while Jake and I go together,' Xavier said. I cocked my eyebrow at him.

'I don't think that's an idea,' Shelby and I said at the same time. Jake and Xavier both frowned at us.

'Why?' They said at the same time. I was about giggle but was (unbelievably) control myself and gave them me reason.

'You will guys will most likely fight each other and kill one another.' I said simply. We argue for about ten minutes and finally came up with a decision. Jake was going to drive me home in my car, since I yawn at least four times in under two minutes and Xavier was going to drive Shelby home. We didn't really agree with it but we all tired and didn't really care so stuck with it. So we braced ourselves for getting wet and ran towards the cars. While running I had to give Jake my car keys which was hard since it was still windy blowing my drenched hair into my face but I didn't without even stumbling. Once we got near the cars Shelby and Xavier got in straight away and drove off but Jake took forever to figure out that you at to put the keys in the lock to unlock it. Once he opened it I did a facepalmed and got in. I was so cold that I was shivering when I sat down in my seat. Jake gave me a smile.

'You know it is still summer, right?'

'I know but it is raining and I am freezing' I said through my teeth since I they would probably chattered together soon enough. Jake just chuckled and gave me his black hoodie. Unbelievable that it was drenched from the rain. But I accepted the hoodie and put it on. It smelled like him which smelled kind of salty, like the smell of beach. 'Why isn't your hoodie drenched?' I asked once I was warm enough. He chuckled, which made my heart do a couple of somersaults. Stupid heart, I thought to myself.

'Because it was in Xavier's car?' he simply said. I was going to ask him why he was in Xavier's car but saw that he was faraway thinking about something.

I had to give him directions once we were in my suburb. When I saw my house I pointed out that was my house he parked in the driveway and got out and opened my door. I tried to not blush since no one has opened a door for me but I failed and blushed anyway. He kind of went into...bodyguard I suppose you'll call it. It was nice to have someone close by. When got to the front door of my house I turned the knobbed and found out it was locked. I asked for my keys back since it had my car keys as well as the keys for the house. I opened the door and walked straight to the kitchen. I found a note.

'Where's your mum?' asked Jake.

'Well it says she ate some nuts and she had to go to the hospital.' Jake just nodded. My younger sister- Shannon- was allergic to nuts so we had to be careful but I guess she found some nuts and ate them. I put the note down and turned and was going to my room but Jake was standing in the way and scared me half to death. I was about to say that he shouldn't sneak up to people and scared to death but instead he interrupted me by kissing me. It was first sweet but I didn't want it to be sweet. I wanted to forget about everything, like my dreams, my sister having to go to the hospital, my dad with the army and knowing about the Night World. I only wanted Jake and that was only it. I pulled him into my bedroom while trying to not break the kiss. I pulled away from the kiss panting slightly. He smiled at me like the Mad Hatter and started to kiss across my cheeks and down my neck (we were on my bed by then) but he pulled away.

'Why did you pull away?' I asked a bit upset. He sighed.

'I haven't feed for a while,' he said simply. I gave a puzzled looked but I got it. I totally forgotten he was a vampire. I came up with an idea. I pushed my hair out of the way and turned my head a little bit away from him. He looked at me angrily. I knew he wanted to feed from me, it showed in his face but he didn't want to hurt.

'I trust you not to hurt me,' I said quietly. He gripped my waist and pulled me closer to him. He moved one of his hands away from my waist to under to my chin and he exposed my neck even more. I kissed my neck, his mouth getting wider until I felt a hot sting, like a bee sting and suddenly I was pulled into Jake's mind. It was dazzling. It was a blue-green like his eyes and sparkled like the ocean. Jake, I thought. And then I heard Jake's mental voice. I didn't want him to leave this place. It was like heaven for me.
