RACHELLE'S POV

When the words escaped my lips I regreted them. Alec left, hurt and confused. I bit my lip.

Why did I say that?! I wanted to follow him, but I couldn't. Jane gave me a look. A look that wasn't angry, upset or hurt. It was something inbetween.

My stomach growled as I looked through the fridge. Bacon, eggs, sausages, salads and heaps of other meal options were fresh and ready for me to eat.

I was about to grab for the bacon and eggs but instead I grabbed the orange juice and took a big swig. I couldn't eat. My stomach growled in protest to the lack of food, but it hurt and felt odd.

Tears streamed down my face. Alec. Why oh why did I hurt him?

ALEC'S POV

I wanted to punch into the walls, make them crumble around me. I was pissed. At myself and Rachelle.

Why did I say those stupid things? Why did she say those things about my mother? Without even thinking I smashed my fist into the wall, rock falling off of the wall.

My fists shook as I scratched them across my face. Rachelle didn't need me doing this to her. I didn't deserve such kindness.

I didn't deserve her. I wanted her and I loved her. But I shouldn't. Maybe I should just find someone else.

I went into my room and slammed the door behind me. I then put in a DVD and watched it.

RACHELLE'S

I hung out with Matt and Jane for the rest of the day. For some reason they had gotten close.

"I finally beat your highscore in Fruit Ninja," Jane joked as we sat in C.C. And Lucas' lounge room.

"Okay, in what mode?" Matt asked slyly.

"What do you mean?"

"There's three modes. Classic, Zen and Arcade. I only showed you classic mode."

Jane went quiet. I smiled, holding back a laugh. They really got along. Maybe a little too well.

The day dragged on. I didn't talk much, Ashleigh gave me space. Checking up on me every half hour. She was convinced I would kill myself.

I sat there most of the day, watching movies and playing pool. It wasn't until Cynthia came back from hunting I talked to someone.

"One week," she said with a smile.

"One week? Till what?" I asked her, confused.

"Till your sweet sixteen!"

My face fell. Mum wasn't going to be there. Tears welled in my eyes. Alec was right it was my own stupid fault that she was dead.

"What's wrong?" Cynthia asked innocently.

"Do you have to ask? Mum's gone and it's all because of me!" I cried out, running out of the room.

I was going to the one person I needed. The one person who could make me feel better.

Alec.

ALEC'S POV

I was watching Saw six when suddenly my door opened. Heidi was wearing a short orange dress with a corset and didn't close the door, she left it ajar.

What in the hell did she want? I didn't need her around to remind me of my failed love life.

"Get out Heidi," I sneered, venom forming in my mouth.

Heidi clicked her tongue and "Don't be like that. What's wrong baby?"

"Nothing it's none of your business."

Heidi didn't say anything. Instead she came over to my bed and pinned me down. I was about to push her off when she kissed me, shaping her body in a way to fit my own through our clothing.

Her lips moved against mine, her tongue running through my mouth. What brought all of this on? I thought she was done with me.

Soon enough I was kissing her back, letting my tongue roam into her motuh. She was taking off my shirt as I started to undo the restraints on her corset.

My mind was elsewhere, I couldn't muster a single thought. My instincts were taking over and I didn't know how to stop them. It wasn't until I heard a gasp that I stopped.

A stream of black hair and the smell of blood passed my ajar door. Rachelle.
