Okay, chapter 7! I only own Alex and Will. Aw, they sound so cute together! But no twilight for me. And again, sorry this is taking a long time, but I'm running a little low on inspiration.
"Alright shoot. What do you have to tell me?" I said, still a little suspicious.
"I love you." Will said.
"WHAT! I didn't expect him to say that at all. I never expected anyone to say that ever! Is this a joke? Should I be laughing? No, he's not laughing. What am I supposed to say to something like that? Am I saying all this out loud? I hope not."
Will smiled. "You are saying it out loud Alex."
"Oh great. Now I'm really an idiot."
"I don't think so." He replied.
"Well, in that case, umm… Maybe I kinda liked you too." I said, shakily. "But that doesn't change anything."
His face went from relatively happy to sad in an instant. "It's not like I wanted this. I just wanted to go think, out in the woods, in the little clearing; you know it, when I got bit. Then another vampire pulled that one off me. They said something, but I was in too much pain to hear. But I remembered everything you had told me about vampires, and I knew what was going to happen. I thought about you, and that gave me the strength to pull through."
"Its good to know that you're alive-ish. But I heard you out, so just go. Leave."
"You don't understand!" He seemed to be getting angry, but then he caught himself. "I didn't want this. On top of hating my existence, it's humiliating. I sparkle in the sunlight! I hate myself!"
"I do understand. I can tell that you're not happy about this, but just let me be. I am going to go now." I gathered my things and walked out.
Once I had checked out and gone back to the car, I was in a foul mood. I was literally seeing black on the edges of my vision. My best friend was one of them now.
"What's wrong Alex?" Alice asked me as we started driving out.
"Nothing." I said it so strongly, though, that she knew I was lying.
"I know that something's wrong." She said, in a weird tone of voice, like she knew what had happened.
"How much do you know? I said suspiciously.
"Not too much. Just that there was someone waiting for you in that room. Who was he and why did he put you in such a bad mood?" She replied.
"How did you know that?" I asked.
"An answer for an answer. Who was he?"
"I don't want to talk about it." I said, intensely.
"If it was something Edward could use against you, I'll know soon enough." She replied.
"If he does, I swear…" I let my threat go unfinished, imagining all the things I would do to him.
"You should just tell me." She said, like she knew something was going to happen.
"Fine. It was Will." I said.
"I don't know who Will is." She said, obviously expecting a reply.
"I know." I said.
"All right, but Edward will know the second we get home."
"Technically, I answered your question. So how about you answer mine?"
"All right, and to show that you should trust me, I will not answer cryptically at all. I can see the future."
"And that's not cryptic?" I asked.
"No." She said, cryptically.
Okay, no stupid questions this time. Lucky you! Please review, and keep reading!
