Sadly I do not own Vlad, Henry, Meredith or Joss.

One call I will never forget

I stepped out to feel the cool crisp October air on my pale skin. I don't know why but I had this strange urge to go see Meredith. I knew that I shouldn't, I mean not after I left her at the Freedom Fest heartbroken. Why? Why? WHY did I even do that to her? I mean I know why but did I really have to do that? Fuck I messed up. I had no idea that it would hurt this bad to be with out her. Not seeing her everyday, it made me feel like there was nothing to wake up in the morning for. Knowing that I caused her pain made me feel terrible. She was everything to me, and still is. I just can't believe that I did that to her. But then yet again it was for her safety, and all that I want is she to be safe. Ugh, I can't get this out of my damn head. I need to get off this subject. I sprinted to Henry's house, thinking that some how he can cheer me up. I nearly knocked the door off by banging on it so hard. I saw the door fly open; I could feel the gust of wind that flew in the house as the door opened.

"What the fu- Oh it's you. Why are you banging on my door like someone is going to kill you?" Henry said with a smirk on his face.

"To get your attention, I know that if your not at my house your in your damn room playing video games, like the loser that you are. " I said jokingly while walking inside.

He laughed for a little while, and then grew very serious. It was kinda funny how fast he changed moods, but I didn't laugh.

"Why so serious?" I asked him with a cocked eyebrow and a curious voice.

He took in a deep breath and let it out while resting his hand on his neck for comfort. It took him quite some time for him to start speaking again.

"Yeah, Um. I need to tell you something, something that happened last night." He said as if he was disappointed.

"Ok? What is it about?" I asked

"It's about Meredith. Sh-" I cut him off

"Are you effing kidding me I came over here to get my mind off of her, I know that sounds weird, but I just don't want to start putting myself down for what I did to her." I said kinda angrily, but was not major pissed off.

"Dude just listen for a minute." He sounded fucking flamed out of his wits.

It frightened me I had never really seem him that way, and I never want to again. I let out a huff of air.

"Ok, fine talk, I'm listening." I said while shrugging my shoulders.

"Alright good, Ok…. She called me last night, balling her eyes out."

What? Her? No, that can't be. She's always a happy frilly little girl, she never cries.

"What? Her? Why!" I said eagerly.

"Hey, you said that you were listening, not talking." He said half joking but half serious.

I shut my mouth for him to continue.

"Thank you. Anyways, she was crying really hard. I asked why she called and she said that she didn't even know, she meant to call you but calling me seemed like a better suggestion. I asked her why she was crying but she never answered me. We were talking for a while then out of no where she started talking about you and how much she still loves you and wondering why you did that to her. Then she stopped crying right after she said that and whispered into the phone something along the lines of, "I really can't go on with out him, Henry. Is there anyway that you could you know, tell him how much I care or tell him that I still want him in my life, anything that makes him happy, please Henry please that would mean so much to me. I just need to know that I can have him in my life again." Then she hung up on me."

He shook his head. The open his mouth to speak again.

"Dude, you really need to be with her, she's a living wreck without you. You should have heard her I was about to start crying myself of how bad it was." He said with disappointment in his eyes.

Oh my god. She really does love me. And I did that to her? I really did fuck up big time. I fell to the floor, I was to overwhelmed to stand. Just as my butt hit the floor, Henry's face shot up with surprise and fear, he leaped forward to get me up to my feet again. He put my arm around his head on to his shoulder for support. He carried me to his couch, then threw me onto it.

"Dude, are you ok?"

It took me about two minutes to answer him.

"No dude I'm not, I'm not ok. I fucking destroyed her." I said about to cry.

My head fell into my hands. Tears began to fall down my face. I couldn't stop them, there was no way I could. Henry put his hand on my shoulder for comfort.

"You have to get her back, I know that you still love her, you just have to. I mean come on when the fuck are you going to find another girl who likes you let alone loves you?" He said jokingly.

Some how that brightened up my mood, I laughed. I rose my head up to look at him.

"Yeah I know, but I had a reason for doing that to her. I don't want to hurt her. That would be the end of me." I said with a serious tone looking at him with my eyes brows raised.

"Yeah, I know, I know, but do you really want to hurt her emotionally?" He asked.

"No, I don't that's just as bad. Fuck man I don't know to do." I said nearly irritated.

"Well you have two choices. One; you can get her back, make her the happiest girl in the world. Two; you can not do anything with her like you are doing now and ruin her life." He said suggesting me to do the first one.

"Ha ha, very funny. Dude trust me it's not that simple. And when the hell did you start caring about her?" I said with confusion.

"Just recently actually, I think last night it was when I started to really care towards girls, and how much they can care about shit that I never even put my mind on." He said kinda serious but more jokingly.

"Ohhhh ok." I said with denial rolling my eyes.

"But seriously, you can make two people happy out of this." He said with determination nodding his head towards me, while putting his hands in his jean pockets.

"Yeah that is very true, but what if I get to close and I can't control myself from feeding on her?" I asked so fast that I couldn't even comprehend it myself.

"Whoa, man don't get that crazy. You even know for a fact if you thought of her that way you would push that thought out of your head so fast that you wouldn't even remembering that you did it. You did it before. Well,… not the forgetting thing but you pushed it out of your head." He said.

"Yeah that's true but I also pushed her along with it. Making sure that I wouldn't think of it again." I said about to leave because of how pissed I was.

"Yeah but you didn't hurt her." He said while pointing at me with a I told you so tone.

"Ugh, Dude I know but I could have." I blurted out with out even knowing.

"But you didn't and that's all that matters, so just try again for her, and like 10% for me. PLEASE!" He said interlocking his fingers into a fist as if praying.

I took a second to think it over. He was right I wouldn't hurt her that is for sure. So I think that I could do this. I let out a breathe of air and parted my lips to talk.

"Yeah, Ok, fine. I'll do it. But for her, not for you." I said looking at him.
