ChapterTwo

TheWhole Truth

I woke up feeling dazed then after a few minutes I was awake remembering the whole charade from last night and how Will told me his immortal story... and how (gulp) it was my turn today!

Before Will arrived I decided I'd have a shower then I found a nice v-necked top with my best jeans and ugg boots. Of course I had to do my make-up and get breakfast and it was already twenty to eight. Luckily I got it all done with only seconds to spare.

Will turned up dead on eight and I forgot who I was for a second as he surprised me with a kiss as I opened the door.

When I remembered everything I finally spoke.

"Hey, babe."

"Hey, gorgeous."

"So then, what we going to do today?"

"Ah. You still owe me an explanation of... your immortality."

"Oh, crap. Yeah...Well come in, sit down and I'll tell you the story."

"Okay then."He walked in and sat down on the couch.

"Well...you see, my mum and dad are human but my mums mum was not as it skipped a generation for my mum.

"We can see some ones whole life, their past, present and future all through one touch but the future can change through a change of decision.

"We are called lifemebers and we do have a heartbeat, well actually we have three but we don't have blood, all we have is water running through our veins ."

"Oh I was expecting something worse than that but I have heard of your kind before."

"Cool then you may know of the war we won against the vampires."

"Of course."

"Well in some parts of the world it's still going on."

"Oh well it doesn't matter at least it's over here. So carry on about the way you are."

"Well naturally I can see your future which is why I said about considering us being together but it would ruin our friendship. I saw us breaking up and never being friends again but after the promise it all changed so that we stayed friends and eventually got back together once again."

"Oh right. If that's it I would have promised a long time ago."

We started to laugh then my dad came down and hushed us.

"Hey, you two love birds be quiet we are trying to sleep. Go out or something."

"Yes dad." I turned around and rolled my eyes. "Come on Will let's go out somewhere."

"Okay then where to?"Will asked as I grabbed my coat and threw Will his.

"Um I was thinking some early shopping down town. Bye, dad."

"Okay then bike or car?"

"Um you have a car? What? When? Er... Car please."

"Sue anyone would think you were a gold fish with your memory. I got a car the other week. Come on." He grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door and sure enough there was a large blue shiny 4X4 sat out side my house, I was gob smacked, "Oh my god. Its lush."

"Yeah, just get in 'cause I've changed my mind about town. I'm going to take you out on a surprise trip."

"What? Where are we going then?"

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you would it!?" He drove off quickly down the road and put the radio on which we sung along to. He pulled up outside his house. "Wait here, just one minute please."

"Okay." He ran in then came back out putting something that looked like a wallet.

"Let's go."

"Um, what was that you just put in your pocket?"

"Nothing for you to worry about, love."

"Fine." He sped off again, us singing along to the music.

I looked around and it took me a minute to realize where we were.

"You are not taking me there are you?" I asked pointing to a huge cinema.

"Maybe...They have a romantic movie on I thought you might want to see."

"Oh, you shouldn't... I mean, yeah I want to see it but you shouldn't take me to go see it!"

"Too bad." He pulled up and got out quickly to let me out then he held my hand and we walked in.

"Two tickets for valley of destiny please," he said to the woman behind the desk.

She gave him the tickets and he handed her the money. He pulled me to the far top corner seats in the theatre, probably so that he could make a move and no-one would see.

The theatre was almost completely empty when the film started.

Will held my hand with one hand and had the other wrapped around me. It was nice but I couldn't help noticing how serious our relationship had gotten so quickly.

Just as I suspected he did make a move mid-way through the film, it was a long kiss one that I'm sure is illegal in some countries or at least should be!

The film was quiet good, from what I saw of it anyway. Valley of destiny was about two people who became very in love bit it was incredibly soppy.

After the film was finished it was quarter to twelve so Will being Will took me to a nice restaurant for lunch even after I tried to tell him no.

When we had finished out spaghetti he took me back to his.

"Hey Steve." I said cheerfully as we walked in.

"Hey Sue. Did you kids have fun this morning?"

"Yeah dad, she tried convincing me to not take her to all these fancy places."

"Oh well, at least you had fun."

I suddenly remembered the message I had for Steve from my parents. "Oh yeah. Steve, my mum and dad asked if you would like to come over for dinner?"

"Uh yeah. That sounds good. What time shall I go up?"

"Now if you want, then your just in time for the footie game."

"Okay then and I'll take them beers I've got in the fridge." Steve went and got the beers and then his coat. "See you kids in a while."

"Bye Steve."

"Bye dad." Steve walked out to go to my house.

"So... On our own now then." Will said with a cheeky grin on his face.

"Yeah, but we don't want to go too fast and plus my mum and dad will want us up there."

"Okay. Just remember you don't have to do anything you don't want to do and I suppose your right, when shall we go up?"

"In about an hour. I'm not finished with you yet!" I pulled him to the sofa and sat him down and I sat on his lap and gave him a kiss. "So Sunday tomorrow up for another bike ride up the cliffs?"

"Well as long as it's with you I don't mind."

"Ah I don't know I was thinking with my mum 'cause I think I'm busy." I laughed sarcastically.

"Haha. Sounds cool, what time?"

"Urm, shall we say about nine 'cause I need to drink five litres off water on Sundays to keep it in my veins, so that way I can drink some before we you get here."

"Cool. So ride to the cliff with a picnic?"

"Um, yeah sounds good." We both smiled huge grins then he decided to pull me in for a huge French kiss. When he was finished and I could see, hear, breathe and speak again I said, "Well we better make a move before they wonder what we've been up to... if you know what I mean?"

"Yes but it would be funny to see their faces."

"I guess you're right, we can mess our hair and I can put on fresh lip-gloss." I messed up his hair then redone my pony tail so it was a side messy one then I redone my lip-gloss and we both laughed.

I got up and grabbed his hand to pull him up and we got our coats then went to get into the car.

"Go get in the car I'll be out in a minute."

"Um, okay."

I went and got in the car and sat down. Will came out a few minutes later and locked the door behind him but he had a sudden bulge under his jacket. He jumped in quickly as it was raining.

"Close your eyes and turn around so your back's to me." he said once he was sat in.

"Err, okay!?" I said confused then done as he said. I then heard something open then felt an ice-cold object on my neck.

"You can open your eyes now." I opened my eyes cautiously. "What do you think?" He then asked.

I looked down and found a solid gold chain with a heart on the end with diamonds on. "Oh my god it...it...its beautiful. You shouldn't have."

"I know, but its to show my love for you."

"Awww, all you had to do is tell me. I love you, babe."

"I love you too, come here." I gave him a kiss and a hug because it was the most beautiful necklace I'd ever seen – and I've seen a lot of necklaces – and it must have been so expensive. "Come-on we better go, do you think our hair is messy enough?" I asked giggling.

"Perfect." We laughed about our little prank then Will sped off so that the journey to my house that was meant to be ten minutes only took five. I wasn't too sure that our prank would work as Steve was a mind reader but I hoped it would.

We walked in trying to hold a straight face and as far as it looked no-one had a clue about the prank.

"Hey all." I shouted as we hung up our coats.

"Hi, kids. Did you have f..." My dad trailed off, it looked like he had noticed our hair. "Um, maybe it did happen. And to think we trusted these two enough not to do it!" Me and Will started to laugh as we put our hair back to normal then I hugged Will.

"Ha it worked. How could you be so gullible?" I looked at Steve and it looked like he new the plan as he was laughing with us.

"What you didn't...?"

"No, dad. I might be in a relationship but I'm not irresponsible. I'm going to stay that way for a few more years."

"Oh...right. So you just played a trick on us. Great. Steve did you know about all this?"

"No if I did I would have told you wouldn't I?" He turned and winked at me and Will just enough so that my mum and dad couldn't see.

I would have preferred to have had this conversation with my mum other than my dad but either way I was going to get a 'sex' talk from one of them after Will and Steve had gone.

"So are we going to finish watching the game because I really want to see us whip spurses' ass?" Steve said suddenly.

"I guess your right Steve."

My dad and Steve went into the living room and watched the game, my mum went into the kitchen so it was just me and Will left in the hallway.

"You can go watch the game if you want, I'll go keep my mum company."

"Oh okay." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and he went into the living room and I joined my mum who was watching the news in the kitchen.

My mum was sat on a stool and I laid down on the small cushioned sofa by the window and within seconds I was inside one of my dreams or nightmares. Which? I wasn't sure... until I woke up screaming.

I had dreamt that I had my hand on Stevens shoulder and I could see him and Will by a dead body, which I then realised they had just killed. They were vampires and the war between lifemebers and vampires had started again.

It was then I woke up, I was in my bed but everyone was around me and it looked like Steve had just read my dream because the expression on his faced showed fear and worry, maybe because we won the last war in this part of the world but this time, to me, it looked like they would win as I am one of the very few lifemebers living around here now.

"Um... Are you okay, love?" My mum asked worried.

"I'm fine, just a weird nightmare that's all." I replied, even though I was telling myself the second part. "I'm tired can I go back to sleep, please?"

"Of coarse, darling, come-on now. Night, love."

"Night, darling." My dad said.

"Night, Night, Sue." Steve said still looking and sounding scared.

"Night, Sleeping beauty. Love you."

"Night, love you, too, babe." I gave him a kiss then laid back down and fell asleep again.
