Chapter 16

As happy as a gay man in a strip bar

I stepped into the hotel, and was ambushed. I was jumped on by ravaging things that I couldn't recognize. They clawed me and I cried out, I wanted them to stop I needed them to stop. Then I recognized what they were.

"guys! Cut. It. Out." I sobbed laughing wildly. My three friends were stripping me and throwing party clothes on me. A tiny dress and ballet flats. Clunky jewelry, and huge hoop earrings.

My three friends forced me into the cab, blindfolding me. god! I'm really getting tired of all this not seeing crap. I knew where we were before they allowed me to see. I smelled the sent of beer and women whistling. Oh my goodness. They did not take me to a strip bar. How lame. If I throw up I can get out of this easy.

They undid my blindfold, "TA DA!" they screamed. Oh they did, how wonderful. "enjoy." they pressed.

This is utterly gay, what kind of man would slide down a pole naked? GAY!! oh well. I maneuvered myself to a seat by myself against the wall facing away, I reached in my purse for my ipod. Finding nothing. They snatched my ipod, pure torture. "hey." I looked up, the most adorable boy was standing in front of me. He had light skin and was tall and lanky despite a tent of muscles framing him. He had curly black hair and cute dimples in his cheeks he had a really cute smile and big blue eyes. "I'm Larkin."

He was smiling shyly at me, oh my gosh he was gay. I cant believe I hadn't noticed it before. I shook my head giggling, "I'm Bella." he shook my hand smiling.

"are you okay? You are alone and you look sad so I thought I'd come over here and see what happened." I smiled, what a sweetheart. Maybe he'd want to come to my wedding, I shook my head, I had to cut it out. I didn't want all these random people I'm just meeting showing up. "who is he?" "oh no!" I shook my head no, my hands flailing everywhere. "I'm getting married tomorrow and my best friends dragged me here against my will!"

His smile widened, "tell me about him." suddenly I started jabbering like I had know Larkin for my whole life.

"well his name is Edward Cullen, he is strong kind of pale he has bronze hair and topaz eyes. He is really strong and a great runner. He is um…18 like me. He does the most romantic things for me and I love him to death. I fall a lot and since I've met him I don't think I've fallen on my face once. He always catches me."

Larkin's eyes were sparkling, "he sounds wonderful, and gorgeous! You are so lucky! And frankly so is he! If I weren't completely gay then I would be definitely hitting on you right now." I laughed, shaking.

"can we go outside and talk for awhile?" he nodded grabbing my hand, in a very girly way, and dragged me out of the bar. I saw Angela eyeing me and I took out my cell phone, he's gay. was what I texted her. oh! Okay have fun! she texted back. I would have fun I liked him a lot. Like a girl friend that's fun to look at. Hehe.

We made it out into the darkness, the cool air feeling good on my face. "ah the fresh airs nice, I have to admit that I cant stand beer breath. No boyfriend of mine will, or has, ever been a drinker." I giggle-agreed with him.

"not that I've had much of a real relationship before Edward, or any relationship at all." I muttered, he looked at me shocked.

"but you're so much fun." he booty bumped me, I giggled booty bumping him back. Oh great another thing I be leaving behind, but it was all worth it. I just felt so heartless.

"yeah, well. You are not looking for a fun girl so I don't think you have any say what so ever. Before Edward no man has shown me any interest." I said matter-of-factly.

"really?" for a gay guy he really seams to care about my relationship well-being.

I nodded, "well dang you must of hung out with some really dumb guys. Or gay." he poked me, laughing.

"not gay, I'm sure." I laughed, "plus they're all in Phoenix." he pouted a bit, and I giggled wildly. We wondered into an ally and we were cracking up by then.

I heard a shrill laugh and saw a pale girl come out of the shadows. She was definitely a vampire, her eyes glowed red and she was whispering "food." I gasped, I didn't know how to protect Larkin, I didn't want him to get hurt. I put up my hands ready to fight her, knowing there was no way I was going to win against her granite skin. She had long wavy brunette hair she had skinny lips and her complexion was perfect. She was wearing tarred jeans and a baggy UCLA hoddie. Her hair was matted and her lips pulled back away from her venom coded teeth.

"Christina I told you not to come into town." Larkin whispered shrilly. "my sister." he explained.

"your sister is a vampire?" I blurted.

"you know about vampires?" he asked curtly.

I nodded, "Edward is one."

He gasped, "how does he stand to be around you? Without feeding. Chrissy is having a horrible feeding problem. She says if it wasn't for my gayness I would be dead by now. Gay blood doesn't appeal to her apparently." he scowled.

She laughed dryly. "he is a vegetarian. He only feeds off of animals. Love is deeper than blood." I added the last sentence warily, wondering why he had brought me here. Did he want me to get eaten by his sister? I hoped not, I really needed to live to make it to my wedding.

"really, that works?" he asked hopefully.

"stupid boy! Of course it doesn't! she just doesn't want to be killed! But she smells divine!" she lunged for me, Larkin getting in front of me her fangs sank deep into his chest. I gasped. He cried and Christina ran away.

I healed him close to me, I was sobbing and he was screaming. I didn't know what to do for him, he just screamed "fire! Bella it-it BURNS!" I sobbed harder whispering words of reassurance. Three or four hours later Christina returned.

"you must leave," her eyes were topaz and I gasped, vegetarian. "this will always be the worst day of my life, Isabella I apologize. I will help my brother and thank you for introducing me to this new life style. Maybe we will see you again someday." she nodded to me.

We both noticed at that moment that my nails were digging into his flesh as he was sleeping in my arms. Tears were streaming down his cute baby face. That look brought on fresh sobs. I pulled him closer refusing to let go of him. "he sure grows on you huh?" I nodded.

"I barely know him but I feel like I'm loosing my best friend." I chocked is this how its going to feel for Jake? I pushed the thoughts from my mind. I took out a pen from my purse and scribbled something down on a sheet of paper. "have him read this." I let her take him from me the note read:

Larkin,

I only knew you for tonight, but I think we really clicked. I will be a vampire soon, I want to meet you. I want you to know I'm always here. And I want you to become a veggie vampire only feed off of animals. Please do this for me L I will appreciate it greatly. One of Edwards sisters has visions I will show her your picture and she will be watching for you. I love you like that utterly adorable gay brother I always wish I had. Okay I hadn't wished that until I met you!

Xoxo -Bella-

I scribbled down the cell phone number and handed it to her. I kissed the top of his head and maneuvered back into the strip bar. Surprisingly that sounded great right now, compared to another amazing person practically dying trying to save, stupid old boring-not-worth-saving me.
