PART 12
I sit bolt right up in bed, gasping for breath. I look around, and see the familiar shapes of my room come into focus. I look at my window, and see that the sun is shining through my closed curtains, the digital clock by my bed says ten thirty.
"It was only a dream, that's all." I say to myself. "But it felt so real, like the kisses, they felt real." I add.
I pull back my bed covers, and swing my legs over the side of the bed. I head towards the bathroom, and my feet feel as though I've been walking all night. Or dancing, I think to myself.
I turn on the shower and step under the steamy spray of water, trying my best to wash away the memories of the night before, after what happened at Damon's apartment with Bonnie. If only I could wash away the memories, I think to myself. The tears erupt from my eyes, as the memories start replaying in my head.
An hour later, I stand in front of the mirror in the bathroom brushing my waist length ginger/ blonde and mahogany hair, which is usually wavy, but is straight because it's wet.
I leave the bathroom and get dressed. Looking in my wardrobe for something descent to wear, I come across one of Damon's leather jackets, one that he let me wear because it was cold one night. Then when I gave him it back, he told me to keep it, because it 'looked better' on me.
I finally settle for a low cut white, long sleeved top, with a red embroidered pattern across the top of it, and a pair of lace up blue jeans, with my high-heeled black leather shoes.
I make my way downstairs and into the kitchen, and find my mum and dad talking to someone. I sigh and whisper to myself. "Twenty – two years old, and I'm still living at home."
As I step into the kitchen, I see the back of a familiar, pin straight, black haired head.
"Shit." I whisper the curse to myself; as soon as I do, the figure my parents are talking to turns around, and I come face to face with a red, tear stained face.
"What are you doing here? Who the Hell do you think you are, coming here after I told you to stay away Damon?" I demand, marching over to the vampire who's now my former fiancé.
"Can we talk? Please?" the teary eyed vampire asks, looking away from me.
"Fine! But afterwards stay the Hell outta my house and away from me!" I reply with poison in my voice.
