Hey guys, sorry this took so long to update, and sorry again that it's not very long, I'm trying to crank out a bigger one. This took so long because I re-wrote it so many times, so I hope this one's enough. I was listening to certain songs when writing this, because I think it adds to the chapter, so I thought I'd tell you what they were. Mayday Parade - You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds, Muse - Glorious, Joshua Radin - Closer, and One Republic - Come Home. Very good songs, I love these , so I'd defintely recommend listening to them. Thank you to everyone who reviewed, I love you guys. I updated my profile again, so please check it out, and I deleted my other story, it was just unbelievable crap so I've taken it off. Anyway, hope you enjoy,please review so I can make my writing better for you guys, so you'll enjoy it more, toffee fudges of love xxxxxxxoooooooo :)

I stared at the phone uncomprehendingly before the woman snatched it out of my hand, moving from her chair to my side in one swift, fluid movement. She shoved it back at me. "Answer it."

I brought the phone to my ear with shaking hands, unable to believe what I was being forced into doing. I could hear Jared's panicked voice yelling down the line.

"Kim! Oh God Kim, where are you? What's happened? I swear Kim, I swear on my life, I'm going to come and get you. I promise, you're going to be fine. I'm so so sorry Kim, Kim please I, I... Kim..." I didn't know what to say. I could hear the pure, unbearable agony in his voice. I wanted so badly to tell him everything was fine, to assure him he didn't need to worry. I wanted to be able to tease him about how adorable he sounded, or how cute his excessive worrying was. But I knew everything was not fine, and his excessive worrying was necessary. It was all I could do not to start sobbing.

"Jared, I-"

"Tell him to come and get you." The woman's hard, cold voice, interrupted me, and she pushed a piece of paper at me, with an address on it.

"Jared, I- I need, I need..." I couldn't do it. I couldn't ask him to walk into a death trap for me. I didn't want him to die for me. I didn't want him worrying over me. I was just a stupid, unimportant girl. I wasn't worth this, any of this. I wasn't worth this woman trying to kill me so she could kill Jared too, I wasn't worth her time. I wasn't worth Jared's pain, I wasn't worth his love. I wasn't worth any of this.

"Kim, Kim, I need you to listen to me." Jared's voice blocked out my thoughts, and I tried to concentrate on the deliciously husky noise he was making. I nodded, knowing that although he couldn't see me, I wouldn't be able to speak without crying. "Describe to me where you are. We're going to come and get you. Is Victoria there?"

"Victoria?" I managed to whimper out.

"The woman that took you. Her name's Victoria."

I nodded again. "Yeah, she is."

"Right. What's she told you to do?"

"Umm, she wants me to tell you where I am." The woman, Victoria, was looking at me intently, her head tilted to one side. Something in her eyes warned me that if I didn't follow her instructions soon, there would be trouble to pay.

"OK, good. Where are you?"

I gulped and read off of the piece of paper, hoping my voice wasn't trembling too badly so that he couldn't understand what I was saying. When I had finished reciting the address there was a pause.

"Crap."

"What, why?"

"That address, that's Emily's old flat. She moved out of it a while back, when she moved into the house Sam had for her. She went back today to try and sell it, she had visitors interested in buying it, she said."

I didn't understand. "And..?"

"Emily's gone too." His voice was hard.

"Oh," I said, simply. I didn't know what else to do.

"Yeah. Sam's worried sick, trying to find her. Same as me. Once you'd left, I ran around the rez for hours trying to catch your scent. But the bloodsucker's overpowered it. I couldn't find you Kim, I-I couldn't help you, I, I didn't know what - what to do. I was lost. Everything went cold. Without you."

"Same here. But I may be cold because of the vamp sitting next to me." I tried to cheer him up, laughing at my own feeble joke without finding anything funny.

He obviously appreciated it, laughing too, but without any meaning behind the sound. "My darling little Kim. What will I do without you?"

"I, umm, live your life without all the hassle I guess." I was fighting back tears, a battle I was losing, as demonstrated by how my voice broke at 'hassle'. I couldn't contain the idea of not being able to see his gorgeous smile. I woke up every morning with a goofy grin on my face because of that smile. I went to school because of that smile. I lived for that smile.

"You're not a hassle Kim," he replied softly. "You never have been, never will be." His voice was soft, and he sounded dismayed I would think that.

"Yeah, because having to try to save someone from a vampire who's going to kill her isn't a hassle at all," I managed to sniffle out.

"Please don't cry Kim, I'm going to make sure nothing happens to you," he seemed appalled.

"How Jared? How on Earth are you going to do that?" The situation was hopeless. Depression was sinking in on me. I'd always hoped I'd go to Heaven, if I tried my best to be good. Now I didn't care. Anywhere away from Jared was my own personal Hell. Wherever he was, was where I wanted, needed, to be. By his side.

"Don't worry Kim. I'm coming to get you," he stated, determination rich in his voice. "Nothing's going to happen to you."

"I-I'm not so sure Jared." I could feel tears brimming behind my eyes. I couldn't imagine how I would get out of this alive.

"Kim. I'm going to make sure you're safe. Nothing will happen to you. Do you understand? Nothing. I'll make sure of that, if it's the only thing I can do for you. I promise I will live my entire life making sure you're safe." I could hear the heart-wrenching torture seeping through his words, the absolute determination dripping of each letter, and the tearing anguish that his promise would not be broken.

"Jared," I needed him to at least be partially prepared for what I could inevitably see happening, "Jared, I- you need to let me go. I don't see how you can possibly win."

"Kim-"

"Jared, you need to stop trying to get yourself killed for me. I'm not worth this."

"Kim, you are worth this. You're worth anything. For you, I'd cross the ends of the solar system and bring you back a star, as long as you were happy. You could sit and watch me as my heart imploded, and I wouldn't care, as long as you were safe and happy. As long as you were near me. You mean everything. I'd catch every single star in the Universe and out them all together, but they wouldn't shine as brightly as you do. They wouldn't even compare to how staggeringly astounding you are to me. They wouldn't mean as much as how you blush when you're nervous, or how your face lights up when you laugh at my jokes, no matter how bad they are. They wouldn't be as mind blowing as your smile." His voice had retreated to a whisper. A whisper with desolation dripping from every syllable. Tears were streaming down my face. I needed him beside me, with a feverish passion. I need to see his heart stopping smile. I needed his hand around mine.

There was a pause. I had no idea how to respond. "I hate to interrupt this little love fest, but you're using up my credit." Victoria was smirking. I stared up at her. I'd never hated someone before, but looking up at her superior face, I felt abhoration boiling through my blood. "Say goodbye then."

"Jared, I need to go." My voice was a whisper.

Jared growled. "Just remember Kim, you're going to be fine."

"OK."

His voice dropped to a virtually indecipherable level. "And Kim?"

"Yeah?" My voice was shaking, I was crying freely now, savouring everything he said in case it was the last thing he said to me.

"Whatever happens, you have to remember you mean everything to me. I love you so much Kim. More than you could ever understand." His voice was a hoarse whisper.

"I know. I love you too." I was trembling, the impact of his words crushing down on me.

I heard a howl as I flipped my phone shut. My heart ripped in two at the sound, my soul oppressed by the unbearable agony.
