Ethan's POV
-Alright, here's the coffee. Just ask if you want a refill.
-Thanks, Joshie – Benny winked - You're the best.
-Whatever – answered the waitress, walking away to other tables.
Benny, Sarah and I took a deep breath at the same time. The rain outside banged at the thick glass with a muffled sound.
-Look, Liam – I said – We've talked about it and have come the conclusion that you deserve to know.
-Yeah – Sarah nodded – I know we've only met you for one week, but we planned on telling you sooner or later. Anyway, Benny has a solution in case you want to forget what we're about to tell you, so I'd prefer to tell you now because it's something you'll have to deal with a lot if you plan on keep sticking with us.
After chasing Rory through the whole school, Erica had agreed to help us lift the curse. Of course, Sarah helped too after we healed her. But I told her to concentrate on gathering all posessed girls in one room. I don't want to sound possessive, but I didn't like the idea of her kissing other guys, so I thanked god Erica was there to finish the job…
And here we were now: Benny, Sarah, Liam and I, talking over a sandwich at the diner place, about to tell our newest ally the fact that three of my friends were vampires, that I was a seer and Benny was a spellmaster.
-Say, Liam – Benny asked – Do you believe in the supernatural?
(A movie and two seasons later…)
-So… - Sarah asked – How are you dealing with this much info?
-I think I get it – Liam answered.
I couldn't be more surprised. I expected some gasps, a bit of hysteria, some "I'll give you my blood but please don't kill me"… but all he said was that he got it. Was that all?
-Talk about open-minded people…
-Well, I might be an outsider, but I was born here in Whitechapel, and no one does without hearing the stories. Besides, you have fangs and Benny can do magic.
-I haven't shown it to you yet.
-That's ok, I still believe you.
-Wow, Liam. I don't know what to say – I said – I mean, not everyday you find out that your friends are… like this.
-I think it's cool. Well, I always thought that those things were out there. I didn't want to believe that reality was only what I saw. I'm glad you proved me right today. Also, what you have and what you do… it's almost like stuff superheroes do.
-You think of us as… superheroes? – Benny asked – Man, that's so kind.
He put and arm around Liam's shoulder and smiled. I could see Liam was taken aback, but didn't try to break free. As we went outside the diner place, I recalled the vision I had the day I met him, but I didn't feel like thinking about it now. Right now, I felt as we were connected by something unbreakable.
-Oops – said Liam when we were outside – my phone's gone, I think I left it at the diner. I'll be right back.
-Ok, we'll wait – Sarah said – but hurry up before it starts raining again.
He disappeared into the diner.
Joshie's POV
-I guess you have questions.
I lifted my head from the table I was cleaning and saw him.
-So… it really was you, Liam?
-Yeah, I live here now.
-Is that so? I'm so sorry you're going through all this.
-It's ok, I'm fine. I just wanted to let you know I was here.
-Wait – I fished a piece of paper from my pocket and scribbled on it with the pen I took orders with – My address. Come to me if you need anything or just want to talk.
-Thanks, Josephine.
-It's Joshie now. Say, Liam… who was your… maybe one of those three?
He bit his lip.
-Sorry, gotta go – he said, and left just as it began raining again.
