"Alexander," I murmured when our lips separated for a split second. And then he was kissing me again, and I was kissing him back.
"... stop... you're hurting her..."
"You're not..." I thought back to him.
"Oh god... I`m sorry... so sorry. I didn't mean to do it, I swear. I tried, I told you this was a bad idea... Katherine, oh God, don't die..."
His body jerked once and then I felt nothing. I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see him. I levered up on my elbows to look around the room breathlessly.
It was empty.
I stared at the open door.
"Katherine, oh God, don't die..."
Chapter 28
The rain started to fall in heavy sheets just as I let my door close behind me. Staring at nothing in particular I dropped my purse and keys on the counter and made my way upstairs. In my room I kicked my heels off in the general direction of my closet then dropped face-first onto my bed.
When my phone vibrated, I distractedly pulled it out from under me and stared at the text from Erica.
Told you so ;P
I glared at the screen, contemplating sending a strongly worded text back, but decided in the end that it wasn't worth it. I set my phone face-down on the bed then rested my cheek on my hands and closed my eyes.
And felt his lips on mine.
I shot up on my elbows and looked around my room. The rain was pattering heavily on my window, but other than that, there was no other sounds in the room. With a defeated sigh I dropped back down again.
Then jumped a foot in the air when my phone started to ring. With my heart pounding I answered.
"Hello?" I asked then waited as a scratching sound came from the other end. The seconds ticked by and a low groan sounded and I nearly pissed myself.
I knew I shouldn't have watched the Grudge.
Thunder sounded outside and lightning flashed blindingly bright.
"H-hello?" I repeated and the groaning sound came again.
Oh my god.
I was about to hang up and go hide under my bed covers when:
"...Congratulations, you have just won a 4 day vacation to Tahiti, from West Jet airlines. Press 1 to claim your vacation and to learn more about this amazing—"
I cursed then hit the end button and threw my phone somewhere on the ground, hoping that the think carpet would keep it from shattering. I crawled up my bed still in my dress and dropped my head down on a plush pillow.
In seconds I slipped into sleep.
._._._._._.
In the dream I was on my back in long green grass. The sky above was clear and blue, and birds flew about. The sun was shimmering through the tall trees.
In the dream Alexander appeared at my feet, looking as freaking gorgeous as ever. He smiled at me then dropped down to hover over me. He kissed my lips lightly then brushed his lips along my jaw and down my neck.
In the dream the storm clouds suddenly came drifting in out of nowhere and thunder rang out in the clearing. There was a sharp sting at my throat and I realized that Alex had bit me. I was struggling under the pain, but he didn't seem to notice.
"Alexander, you're hurting me..." I thought to him, but I got no response.
After a few moments, I started to feel lightheaded.
"Help," I gasped through parched lips, but no one came.
In the dream Shane appeared over Alex's shoulder.
"Shane, help me," I pleaded to him, but he just looked at me with his cool hazel eyes.
It was then that I noticed that he was holding a shiny silver gun in his hands. His eyes followed my gaze then returned to mine to smirk.
"You can't escape death my love," he said, his strong Australian accent reminding me of what attracted me to him in the very beginning.
"I`m sorry I didn't tell you," I said, eyes filling with tears as I started to go numb.
"Didn't you think I had the right to know?" he asked, cocky smile replaced with a furious scowl. "Did you think that I would love you even after you told me?"
The first of the tears started to leak out of my eyes as I nodded miserably. The movement sent pain shooting up my neck because Alex was still biting me.
"Well you were stupid. It's a shame things had to end like this, I kinda wish I'd fucked you first. But oh well."
And in the dream Shane aimed the gun at me and fired. And I screamed and screamed, but no one came.
._._._._._.
I shot up in bed gasping. It was now dark outside, and the rain seemed to have stopped. I looked around my room then down at the dress I still wore.
After my breathing had calmed down, I lay back down again and stared up at the ceiling. I hadn't dreamed about Shane in two years. I squeezed my eyes shut and thought back to the day he had broken up with me, also known as the day I turned 14.
Now that I thought about it, 'broken up' was too light of a term. He didn't 'break up' with me, it was more like he dumped me and tossed me aside like a useless piece of trash.
I rolled to my side and stared out my window at the moon. I met him in December of 2008 at the ski lodge we went to during winter break. He was 3 years older, a 10th grader who happened to go to the high school right next to my middle school.
And as if the prospect of dating an older guy wasn't tempting enough, he was also tall and so damn hot with his curly dark blonde hair and hazel eyes. He had a swimmers build, long, lean, and wide-shouldered. And to top it all off, he had an Australian accent.
Yea, I was in heaven.
It was the first time that a guy had ever caught and held my attention, and naturally, I wanted to be with him.
Despite the protests and threats from my brothers, we got together that winter. And when school started again in January, he would drop me off at my school in the morning and he'd kiss me, in front of everyone, and tell me that he loved me before he headed off to the high school.
I was smitten.
He was everything any girl could ever want in a first-time boyfriend. He was right out of a romance novel, and I loved him with all that I had.
And I thought that he loved me back.
He sure acted like it. He was with me all the time and he wasn't the kind of boyfriend who'd ditch me for his friends. In fact, he loved showing me off to all his friends, well actually, he loved showing me off period.
I didn't think much of it, and besides, I got a kick out of showing him off too.
But then came his concerns about how my brothers and Erica and Nathan were always hovering around me, that we couldn't get any alone time, just the two of us.
I told him that I was the youngest and only girl of a family of 5 parentless children. He couldn't argue with that, right?
But he did.
He decided to 'talk' with them about how they were being too protective and that they should let me live a little.
Too bad he didn't know that they were so protective of me because they had learned that I was a Chosen only a few months before. But there was no way I was going to tell Shane that, he'd think I was a freak.
And boys like him, hot and popular, didn't date freaks. I knew that he would drop me and move onto the next girl vying for his attentions in a heartbeat.
It was the first time I ever felt that insecurity, so I kept the whole Chosen thing a secret. A couple of months later, he was getting really fed up with my brothers.
He threatened to break up with me if I didn't get them to stop hovering, and that was the last thing I wanted. So I talked to my brothers who told me clearly that they didn't give a flying crap about Shane or what he wanted.
When I went to Erica she told me that I should tell him the truth, and if he really loved me, he'd be okay with it.
I thought about it and decided that I would. I mean, he loved me, he would except me the way I was .
Boy was I wrong.
I told him one afternoon after we had seen a movie. He just looked at me for a moment then started to laugh. He pulled me to him and kissed me hard.
"I love your sense of humour," he had said, smiling.
"I`m not joking," I had told him when he tried to kiss me again.
This time he pulled back and looked intently down at me. I don't know what he saw, but whatever it was, his eyes widened and he took a step back.
"I don't get it." He had said, and I explained it to him again, told him that it was only a stupid story, and that it probably wasn't even real.
But it was too late.
The look on his face told me that he thought I was a freak. No longer did he shoot me that sexy grin.
"Shane," I said and stepped towards him, but he stepped backwards again.
"Don't" he'd said sharply and I'd stopped abruptly at his tone. He turned around and walked away, leaving me alone in the dark park staring after him.
"Shane!" I had called after him, but he didn't look back.
Two days later it was the day before my birthday and Shane was supposed to take me out to dinner. I dressed up in my new dress and waited for him to come by and pick me up.
He never came.
That night I cried myself to sleep and woke up on my birthday with a pounding headache. I didn't want to get out of bed, but I had a party planned for today. Later that day, my party was in full swing, but I wasn't into it.
Shane didn't come.
I cried myself to sleep that night too. The sound of something hitting my window woke me up in the middle of the night. When I looked out, I had seen Shane standing outside my window throwing rocks up at my window.
I smiled my first real smile of that entire day as I raced downstairs, careful not to wake my brothers.
I knew he would come. He wouldn't miss my birthday.
I threw the backdoor open and ran to him and threw my arms around him. I was expecting a hug back, but it never came.
Instead, he gripped my shoulders and pushed me away. I had looked up at him, hurt and confused.
"Where were you today? And yesterday? I waited." I had said and he just looked at me.
"What's wrong Shaney?"
"Listen kid," he had said in a distant, slightly bored tone. "Hate to break it to ya, but this is over."
I stared at him open mouthed.
"Wha-what are you talking about?"
"You know what I`m talking about."
"But—"
"But nothing. You're a freak, and I can do better. So see-ya."
He turned and walked off into the dark and I remember how my eyes filled with tears.
He had just broken up with me. I loved him so much, but he just threw me away. I remember sinking to the ground as my sobs started to shake my body.
After what seemed like an eternity, but was probably just a few minutes, the porch lights went on and a half asleep Damen came out the backdoor. When he saw me he had rushed forward and pulled me into his arms, rocking me.
In a short while all of them were kneeling around me, and Erica and Nathan had shown up as well. They cursed him, threatened him, and damned him to hell, but none of it would fix my broken heart.
And despite the fact that I know that I've gotten past that particular hurdle in my life, I still couldn't help the tears that fell from my eyes as I tried to fall asleep once again.
