The sunlight woke me up in the morning with a big smile. Since the Godric1 protein was already growing up in the lab and it would take a few days I decided to spend the day at home preparing for exams and the interview.
I had a few days left to finish my first semester exams so I decided to give my best effort in this final steps.
I spent the day studying, eating, playing with Sam and even went for a job. At night I was not visited by Godric which surprised me since he did mentioned he would start paying me nightly visits again.
I just reached the conclusion that he probably just got hung up on work or some conversation and used to night to do some more studying.
Unfortunately, the next four days resulted in the exact same result. Godric never came by and visit which only led me to conclude that he must be very busy with the preparation of the interview which would be in two days. I knew nothing was wrong since not Eric nor Nora came by. So I just continued with my life, finally finished my exams and realized my roommates would be coming back soon.
Now we had a period of 2 weeks of holidays so I could enjoy myself for two weeks, even though still alone, and then Joy and Rita would be back and no more lonely Joana!
I would be able to not worry about school and studying for a while. I logged on to facebook to see if there were any party's in the university or with people from my class. But most people had gone to their parent's homes and left partying for the first week of classes.
Typical. I thought getting ready for another day of routine.
By the late morning I was fed up and called Anthony to go to the lab and see if the protein was ready.
When I reached Godric's next I had to deal with all the human companions' questions about the diner I had with their sheriff. I tried my best to explain them that we were just friends, but most didn't buy it.
It can never be. He would never think of me differently. And so I won't dream about what cannot be. I thought.
After managing to reach the lab I saw that the protein was ready to collect, so I set all protocols so that the protein would be ready tomorrow night. Just in time for Godric's reveal.
Having done that, I was completely free to do whatever I wanted, so I headed back my house and there I spent the afternoon preparing for the interview.
I was pretty sure that Godric was taking the necessary measures so that it would be safe for both of us tomorrow.
I went to bed at eleven, feeling a bit bored but nervous for the day that was to come.
And then I fell asleep.
Soon it was morning.
"Today is the day" I said to myself as soon as the alarm clock rang. I got up as fast as a bullet and started to decide what the best clothes to wear were. After two hours I had finally decided for a beautiful outfit my mother had given me for very special occasions.
It was a light blue dress, and a beautiful golden coat. I took a shower and got dressed. Looking at the mirror I felt pretty enough and formal for the interview. Didn't want the whole world to see me in sweatpants right?
The day went by so sloooooooooowly I was actually pacing in the living room waiting for 8am. It was now 4pm.
After ten minutes of pacing I can hear a car. I go toward the entry of the house and find Anthony parking his car. I basically sprint towards the car, being so anxious. Not forgetting to feed my pet rat before I had left.
I greet Anthony and am very happy that the sun is nearly setting. I haven't seen Godric in forever! Okay it was just a week, but it seemed like forever.
I reach the house and it is as if no one knows what is about to happen. Everyone is acting normally and living their normal life. I hurry to Godric's office and knock. I am greeted by Isabel and she appears to be the only one that knows what's going on, as she looks at me with an understanding look.
The door opens and I enter. Godric appears in front of me and has a worried look on him.
"I have been thinking on whether we should make this public already. This might bring enemies back". He said. "I am sorry I have not visited you yet, I have been extremely busy trying to find trustworthy humans and vampires and picking a good place for the interview." He grabs both my hands "Can you forgive me?"
"There is nothing to forgive Godric." I said. "And yes, we should make this public now, regardless of the consequences. This will only bring light into other peoples lifes. Vampires, humans, they need to know!."
He debated on it for a while but then seemed to agree. He told me who would be conducting the interview and where it would take place.
He had chosen the top of a building actually, the one he had tried to kill himself in the first place actually. I was not expecting that, and hope that the protein would not fail me or I'd be responsible for the death of my true friend, and the Sherriff of thousands of vampires on world wide tv.
Now the nerves had come. There is no space for errors today.
We still had the whole night to get ready. Both I and him took separate ways, I had to go and get the protein ready and he was making is final adjustments for the exposure of the experiment.
I used the next four hours to rehearse and prepare everything. I was ready. But it was still very early.
Everyone still seemed calm, and did not know anything. I had been complimented on my looks by many vampire and humans but not by Godric yet. Not that I needed that of course.
I sat down near a couple, and felt a little like the third wheel but I had to make the time pass. I had the syringe in my purse and my speech written down also there, just in case.
The hours passed and each couple or individual vampire eventually went to rest. Then It was just me. It was now 7 am. And then Isabel comes to me.
"I wish you the best luck for today. I trust you Joana. You will change the world today. Take good care of Godric." And she hugged me.
"I will do my best" I answered.
She went to her room. And the Godric came out of his.
How glorious he looked.
Dressed in white, it was a beautiful suit he had own. I had to admit. He looks pretty hot.
He extends his hand, and I accept his invitation, holding his hand. We now walk towards the car, where our faithful Anthony was waiting.
We ride in silence. All of us with our own thoughts of what would change in the next hour.
Godric breaks the silence.
"I forgot to mention how stunning you look Joana. You look beautiful". He said, and touched my hair pulling a lock back.
I blushed. "Thank you. You don't look bad yourself." I grinned.
He smiled.
And so we reached our final destination. And sun was almost coming up.
We leave the car and Godric flies me to the roof. We enjoyed our flight, he flew slowly this time. Perhaps to save my hair from total disaster. And as we flew up he carried me in his arms. And then we locked our eyes together and smiled.
And we landed nicely on the roof, where a handful of people were. Mostly reporters and some security guards.
And now was time.
