- Title - Falling Again.

--------

I woke up the next morning. It was Saturday. Stretching and cracking my back, which felt really good, I yawned loudly. My mom was gone for two days. I could call on Legato...wait. "I'm no longer with Legato," I murmered to myself as I got out of bed.

The blood spot had vaporized in the night, it wasn't there. I really missed him this time. But, I knew I wouldn't want to face him after what I had done. First, it was Rai. Then it was Chris. They both died at my expense. Now, my sins had to be let go. I had a full life ahead of me now. But, I as so...lonely.

I wandered into the living room and the answering machine was blinking. I pressed the button.

"Nicole, hi. This is Lynn. I'm having a party tonight, hope you can come. It's at seven thirty! Ta ta!"

I sighed and deleted the message, what the hell. I can go party, date and even kiss. I didn't have Legato anymore.

--

"Nicole! You made it!" Lynn exclaimed as she opened up the door.

A large crowd of teenagers from my school were here. I spotted Vash, his spiked blonde hair very noticable. He walked over and smiled. "Nicole, sup?" He asked.

Lynn shoved him away. "She already has a hook up!"

"Not anymore," I muttered.

Lynn looked at me with dissbelief. "How?! What the hell happened?!"

"Uh..we broke up. It didn't work out."

I walked past her and entered the living room where the largest group was. I was grabbed by the waist by a strong arm and gasped in surprise. It turned out to be Darin. "Hey baby!" He said with a smirk.

I punched him playfully in the arm. "What the hell do you think you're doing, slick?" I inquired.

He shrugged and hugged me. "Just dancing with my closest friend."

I danced with many guys that night, but no hook ups. I walked through the snow that night, pulling my coat tight around me. I watched the ground, making sure I didn't step on any ice. "Nicole," a voice said.

I looked up and Legato was standing there. Tears pounded against my eyes, but I blinked them back. "Go away, Legato. I don't need you!" I yelled, walking briskly towards home.

But, I wouldn't make it home. I blacked out. Maybe it was because of the cold. Or because I had to much punch at the party.

I opened my eyes, I was in a dark room. It wasn't my room, either. The bed was a silky black color. "Legato," I said through clenched teeth.

My head hurt and I fell back onto the pillow. I felt exhausted. "Rest up, my love," Legato's voice said with worry.

I rubbed my head. "What do you think you're doing?" I inquired.

"Just...taking care of you. You collapsed out in the snow."

"You should leave me alone!"

I heard Legato breathe in shakily. "I didn't want to leave you out in the snow...by yourself. To freeze to death."

"I don't give a damn anymore, Legato. You are out of my life...out of my heart."

I sat up, glaring at him. He shifted his weight and looked back at me. My heart clenched when I saw all the hurt and sorrow. Had he been crying?

Had he killed more vampires to just get away from his pain?

The pain I had inflicted on him. The pain I caused when I hit him. The pain I made him endure while being with me. I now started to hate myself. My hands began to shake suddenly and I stuck them under the covers, hiding them from Legato's view. "Love...haven't you done enough? I know you are hurting. I can see it," Legato said with a crack in his voice, he sounded as if he had been the one who hit me.

I couldn't find the words. My body moved without my mind. I was suddenly in Legato's arms, crying and apologizing. I could feel his chest heave, he was also crying. Next thing I knew, we were kissing on his black silken bedcover.

"Legato," I whispered.

He stopped kissing my neck and gazed into my eyes. "Yes?" He asked, worry in his yellow eyes.

I turned my gaze away from him. "Am I just a guinea pig?"

I looked into his eyes again, searching for answers which would be or not be answered. "No, you are not."

I smiled up at him and gave him a polite kiss. Running my right hand through his blue hair. He let out an almost silent purr, sounding like a kitten. I gave out a small laugh and laid flat on the bed. Legato ran his hands up my arms and intwined his fingers with mine. "I don't want to lose you again...," he whispered as he neared my ear.

"I think I'm falling again," I said as I closed my eyes.

His lips toyed with my earlobe and his fangs brushed against my jawline. I think it would last this time. "My love....never leave."

I sighed and tightened my grip on his hands in response. I didn't want to lose him again, or even remember what he had loved me for. All I wanted was to be with him, never go back to reality.

-- To Be Continued. Oi, short chapter. Sorry! But it's late...and I got up at noon...and I'm tired. My brain is not functioning right. So, I'll work on the eight chapter soon ^^;;;.
