Carolyn

Chapter Five

Hope you like it!

Andy had clung onto Carolyn for the whole night, he was just scared to let her go, that small kiss that they shared before she drifted off into sleep had sealed something between them. Even if it was just a friendship forever or something more, it didn't matter to Andy it was special no matter how serious that kiss was and he knew that he would never forget the connection of their lips.

Carolyn's eyes were moving under her closed eyelids, Carolyn done this every morning right before she was about to wake up. Andy didn't necessarily consider this weird that he knew what her eyes done before she was about to wake up he preferred to think of it as caring and it shows that he knows his best friend very well. Her eyes soon fluttered open and she looked up at Andy. This was when Andy realised that she didn't hate him for being a vampire as the smile that she flashed at him was filled with warmth and happiness. She shuffled slightly until she was sitting up more and rested her head on Andy's shoulder.

"Do you forgive me?" She asked. Andy was confused. He didn't know what she had done that had made him angry. How could he ever be angry with someone like Carolyn? She was perfect and nothing she done could ever make him angry with her. It was practically impossible.

"For what?" I asked. Carolyn looked up at me with a confused look on her face. It must have been pretty bad then considering she was shocked that I didn't remember what she had done.

"Do you forgive me for kissing Jake?" She asked. That was when it all came running back to him. Last night Jake had told him to get things to start a fire and he had went but when he came back he saw Carolyn and Jake kissing. It angered him a lot but he could never blame Carolyn for that and he could never hold it against her.

"I don't have to forgive you, I never blamed you" he whispered into her hair whilst she wrapped an arm around him. She had been so emotional over these past few days that it almost ruined him to see her sad anymore.

"I'm sorry" She wept. He wrapped his arms around her and sighed. He didn't want her to be upset ever again and now it was happening again.

"Don't be please" he sighed. She looked up at him with big blue eyes that reduced him to almost a puddle. Her eyeliner had smudged from her tears but a weak smile was beginning to spread across her face which was a start to making her happy again. Andy bent down slightly and kissed her forehead ever so lightly.

"Let's go get breakfast" Carolyn finally said. Andy nodded slightly and slid out from under the duvet and gestured for Carolyn to go first. She stepped out of the comfort of her bedroom and out into the cold hallway. She was bare foot and was only wearing her jeans and a hoodie. Every time she took a step the floorboards would creak but she wasn't bothered anymore because Andy was by her side to keep her safe just like he always would. They walked down the stairs together and into the kitchen. Carolyn got a small fright when she walked in and saw Jake sitting in one of the chairs at the kitchen table. He had his head in his hands and looked frustrated with something. When he heard Andy cough slightly he turned to look at them. He looked physically tired which was unusual and he hadn't done his hair or make up which was also unusual. He tried to give a weak smile but you could tell that he had been up all night racking his brain over something.

"Hi" He croaked. It looked as though he was ready to break down and cry any moment soon which made Andy feel quite sorry for him which was something else new to add to the ever growing list.

"Jake, what's wrong?" Carolyn asked whilst taking the seat next to him and watching him intently.

"I was thinking about last night" Jake admitted. You could tell easily if you looked into his eyes closely that he didn't want to admit that but he couldn't lie about it either so he had to tell the truth about what was making him so upset and agitated with everything. Carolyn took his hands and looked into his eyes.

"It was a mistake" She finally said. She looked as though it pained her to say it but she also had to get out what she was saying so she just came out with it and hoped for the best. Jake looked upset but he wasn't angry which made a change. This thing must have really shaken him up.

"I think differently but please say we can all be friends" Jake said whilst looking at Andy for the first time that morning. Jake looked closely at Andy and sent a silent message with his eyes. He was practically begging Andy to help him with getting back on track and just asking him to be a friend.

"Come on please cheer up" Andy said whilst sitting on the side of Jake that Carolyn wasn't sat at. He put his hand on Jake's back and patted it in a supportive way.

"God I need to pay for my sins" Jake groaned with a small chuckle at the end of it.

"How are you going to do that?" Carolyn asked with a small laugh herself.

"By being a nice person" Jake said getting up. He wrapped his arms around Carolyn in a friendly hug but that didn't stop Andy from getting a surge of jealousy. Jake walked over to Andy and rustled his hair in a belittling way before leaving the room.

"That wasn't very nice" Carolyn called after him.

"Yeah whatever" Jake called back. He smoothed his hair down with a scowl on his face.

"Little sod" he muttered under his breath causing Carolyn to giggle. He gave her a confused look but was secretly glad that she was finally showing some happiness. She smiled finally before she stopped her giggling fit and returned to the normal Carolyn that Andy knows and loves. She walked over to the fridge and pulled out one of the sandwiches left over from last night and bit into it. She was tired as hell and couldn't wait to finish her breakfast so she could lie on the sofa and just rest for a little bit longer. It didn't take long for her to be at her wished place. Andy could tell that she was very tired so he took her over to the small two-seater sofa and put her down. He was about to walk away when she tugged on his hand and made him sit down next to her. He smiled and put his arm around the edge of the sofa whilst she put her head in his lap and flicked through the channels on TV. It was comforting for Andy to just exist with Carolyn. Nothing else in the world mattered anymore the only thing that did matter with Andy was the fact that he was making Carolyn feel good about herself again.

"Thanks for everything" Carolyn finally said. Andy was confused. He didn't know why Carolyn was acting as though he had done so much for her in his eyes he needed to do more to make up for the fact that he had been lying to her about who he really was. Well not really lying just not telling her a major part of his life that could have changed everything about them.

"I haven't done much at all" he said truthfully. He needed to stop Carolyn from saying all of these nice things to him when he didn't deserve it at all.

"You have" Carolyn said persistently.

"Oh ok then, explain it to me" Andy said seriously. She sat up now and looked at him intently. She was set on proving how nice he had been to her and how good he had made her feel.

"When I was running around the woods so angry at you, you came back to help me and even when I resented you then you never gave up on me and you kept trying to get me to talk to you again and that was when you turned irresistible, so thank you" Carolyn explained. She had a smug look on her face when she thought that she had won the mini argument but Andy had more to say on the matter.

"It was the least that I could do after everything that I put you through. I had led you on and made sure that you wouldn't find out the truth. The only reason that you know about my dark secret is because you were too important to me and I didn't want you to be put in danger because of my foolish idiotic ways" Andy rambled. When he looked back at Carolyn he knew that he had stumped her and she was too baffled to even contemplate saying anything else. Her face finally began to get some of the colour back and she had the same carefree nature that she had, had just a few moments ago when she was lying down on Andy's lap.

"Well when you put it that way" Carolyn laughed. Her laugh was contagious and soon Andy couldn't stop the bubble of laughter that escaped him. He played the conversation that they had just had back in his head and that was when the grin was planted on his face. Carolyn was still laughing but after a couple of moments of the grins life she stopped and looked at him. She knew that he had more to say now so she stayed silent while Andy said what needed to be spoken out loud. "You called me irresistible"

"Yes I know I did" Carolyn said. She had expected it to be more interesting than just repeating what she had said and trying to confirm that what was said came from her. She rolled her eyes and sat back slightly as she relaxed a bit more.

"In what way am I irresistible?" Andy asked with a cheeky smirk. Carolyn laughed a laugh that came from the gut and playfully slapped his chest. Once she had calmed down she managed to answer the question that Andy had presented her with.

"Not in the way that you are probably hoping for" Carolyn said seriously but she broke down in laughing fits again and had to practically clutch her stomach from the pain of her laughter. Andy didn't see the funny side of it at all. Although he had passed it off as a bit of fun he did actually want to know if she found him irresistible in a sexy way. He had to know now so he took her chin in his hands and made her face him.

"I'm being serious" He finally said. The laughter suddenly stopped as Carolyn realised what he was saying. "Do you comprehend this" Andy said. Carolyn nodded slightly and then went back to thinking. She had always found him irresistible in that way but the problem was admitting it. From what she had seen of Andy in these past few days he had been more than just a little bit interested in her. Hell he even shared a bed with her last night. She pressed her lips to his and just let herself go. He seemed to relax a little bit more and managed to summon up the energy to kiss back. She was so fragile that he thought he might break her but Jake had managed it so why couldn't he. It was easy this whole kissing lark. It was very simple when his lips moved she followed and that's all there was to it but the thing that was real magic was the chemistry between the two kissing. Carolyn pulled away from Andy and stared into his eyes just waiting for a response that didn't look like it was coming.
