Sequel to You Bring Out the Best in Me
Zane's P.O.V.

He falls to the ground. I want to scream but for some reason I can't; it all just stays inside of me. I have to shut my eyes to block out what's happening. It doesn't help. I can still see the light through my sealed eyelids as his soul is taken. Her voice is echoing in my ears, cold and mocking. She says that he is ugly; worthless…I'm going to hit her. I know I am. My hands clench into fists and then….then…

A pair of lips pressed firmly against my own, snapping me awake again.

I sat up and began the day by banging heads with my boyfriend.

"Good morning to you too, sleeping beauty." He grumbled, rubbing his forehead. I knelt up to get a better look at him, checking he was ok. We'd probably both have matching bruises there this time tomorrow.

"You'll pay for that." He smirked. I started to shuffle away from him slightly. I knew he'd never hurt me and he was only messing around, but there is more than one way to torture someone.

With one swift movement he grabbed me by the ankles and yanked hard. My legs shot forward but my body tried to remain still, the result of which was me lying flat on my back, completely at his mercy.

"Stop, no!" I begged as he began tickling me. He paid no attention and let his fingers continue to dance over my sides and stomach.

"Please! It tickles!"

"That's the idea, Zane." He sat himself down on my legs to keep me pinned. "You should have thought about that, shouldn't you?"

"Yes Vellian! Now let me go!" I don't usually go in for begging but I happen to be very ticklish. Particularly on my ribs. Of course, he knows this from countless nights spent tracing every inch of my body, learning it like a treasure map.

"I must say, pleading is a very attractive look on you." One of his hands had made its way up to stroke my face and hair. This was his mistake. With a single turn of my head I was able to bite his finger.

He let out a shriek and sat up allowing me to start steadily wriggling out from under him. Before I got very far however, his hand fastened on my extra large shirt, the only thing I wear in bed, and held me in place. I used my last resort. I gave him what he refers to as 'the demon eyes of doom'. They're not cute enough to be puppy-dog eyes, but they still always weaken him.

"You were talking in your sleep last night…again." He placed his bitten finger against my lips for me to kiss.

"I thought it would have stopped by now." I sighed.

"It's alright." He shushed me gently. "You went through so much."

"You too!" I reminded him quickly.

"I let her take my soul just to save you. It was worth it." I couldn't help but blush. "Are you sure you don't want to talk to someone about these dreams?" he asked for what seemed like the thousandth time.

"I'm fine! I'm not weak." I took his finger in my mouth as I finished speaking, which gave me a few minuets to think.

He worries too much. If there is one downside to having someone know your body so well is that, you get the slightest of scratches and they know. Vellian knows the exact position on my leg that I have a scar which I got from climbing over a chain link fence when I was younger. I ended up with six stitches and a scar that would probably last a life time. He knows what my fingers look like if I've been biting my nails (a secret that remain between just him and me). There's the odd birth mark on my arm which almost looks like half a broken heart. More recently I have gained two, smallish yet deep wounds to the side of my neck. I don't remember Camulla ever biting me, but I guess she must have done. I suppose it's just my brain having selective memory.

I don't need to explain any of these, but a few days before he came to pick me up from home, I fell out of the tree house that me and Syrus have had since we were kids. I go up there to think and I lost my concentration and fell. I had to plan my outfit very carefully so that none of the bruises and cuts would show until that night when we would be a safe distance away from my dad.

As predicted, my boyfriend hit the roof, jumping to the wrong conclusions straight away. I practically had to hold him down to prevent him phoning the police and told him that he'd got it all wrong. He didn't believe me and said I was probably just scared of what my dad would do to me if I told anyone. I got a bit annoyed then. I'm not scared of anything. I told him he could check my bruises to make sure none of them looked like hand prints and that he could take me to the school nurse to get checked out as soon as term started. Unfortunately, I had forgotten how seriously he takes things. He made me take off all my clothes and examined my skin until he was satisfied they weren't man made.

I was brought out of my reminiscing by Vellian removing his finger from my mouth.

"You should get dressed." He said, climbing off of me and sitting beside me on the bed.

"Aww, gone off of me all of a sudden?" I teased. He chuckled and ran his fingers through my hair.

"No. if you wish to then by all means, go ahead and walk out there in front of all the students in nothing but a shirt." I'd forgotten that today was going to be the first day of term. I'd been here a full week; just me and him. My parents thought I'd gone to stay with some friends for a bit, I couldn't exactly tell them that I was off to spend a week on an island with just me and my former teacher.

After a quick shower I got dressed and left Vellian's room to go watch the students arriving back. It was great to see everyone again; Jaden, Chazz, Alexis, Bastion, Atticus and Syrus obviously. I was even almost glad to see Slade and Jagger again; who had came to drop off their younger brother in their private helicopter. Speaking of which, I think Chazz and Jaden managed to break a school record. No one has ever had to go to the school nurse within two minuets of arriving before. The second Jaden saw Chazz he ran at him and flung his arms round him. Chazz obviously wasn't expecting this and fell. That would have been it, if he hadn't been standing on a hill, as he was the pair went rolling down the hill and collided with a tree at the bottom. Laughing was easily one of the most un-evil things Slade and Jagger have ever done, even if it was at their younger brother falling down a hill. I had to control my own laughter, reminding myself that it was supposed to be a secret that I was there. Well, for a little while longer at any rate.

I never get nervous. Never. Not once. And yet, I still had a feeling like something is gnawing away on my stomach. I had a right to be worried though, how would you feel if the whole school was about to find out that you're in love with someone...someone like Vellian? He was my teacher for one, secondly, he is a lot older than me and thirdly, I think a lot of the students will think I've lost my mind. I don't care about any of these things. I'd have been happy to tell my friends and family ages ago, except I didn't want Vellian to loose his job over it. I just hoped that they won't be too utterly disgusted.

A hand squeezed my shoulder.

"You ok?" he asked me. "You've gone quiet. Well, more than normal." I nodded and smiled, letting him kiss my forehead.

"If you've decided you don't want to do this, its fine. Just tell me now." He locked eyes with me and the gnawing feeling melted away. Of course I wanted to do this. I nodded my head to show him I was ready.

I stood off to one side, watching as he stood up on stage making some start of term announcement. My eyes scanned over the students. I noticed Jaden and his friends, both him and Chazz were sporting black eyes. No one noticed me though.

"Before you leave, I have an announcement I'd like to make." I took a deep breath and then walked up onto the stage to stand beside him. Everyone had gone silent, staring. We didn't say anything; I just wrapped my arms around him and let him kiss me deeply, right there, in front of everyone. There was a collective gasp from both pupils and teachers.

We broke apart and looked towards Chancellor Shepard who was just staring at us open mouthed. A few months ago and we could both have been in serious trouble. A teacher having a relationship with his student isn't just something you can lose your job for. You can end up in prison if the student's family press charges! Still, I'm not a student any longer. I'm Vellian's lover who just happens to have once attended the school where he teaches. Shepard knew that too because he just made an odd grunting noise and closed his mouth again. Then he smiled.

"Me and Zane are in love." Announced my wonderful, beautiful and now publicly known, boyfriend. "And he'll be staying here this term and longer if he still wants to."

"Of course I do!" I didn't even have to think for a second. I turned on one of my trademark smirks. "You didn't think you could get rid of me that easy, did you?" and then we were once again lost in a deep, passionate kiss. This kiss was different from any other I had ever received. You know in children's shows, when two people kiss, hearts fly around them, confetti falls and love music plays? Well that kiss was defiantly one of those kisses. Only, there was a strange roaring in my ears. Oh god, don't let me faint. Not now. I thought. But then we broke apart, and I opened my eyes. The raring was the rest of the school.

They were cheering for me, Vellian…for US. I could make out odd words of what they were saying, and they were only good things. If anyone was disgusted they were keeping it a secret. Someone was whistling, possibly a certain boy I know in a red blazer. A hand stroked over my hair and down my back. I reached round and took it in my own before it could go any lower.

"Not in public." I scolded, smirking again. "Just because we can now doesn't mean we're going to." He just raised one eyebrow.

"in that case, we'd better go somewhere more private later." I was glad only I could hear this. "Right now Mr. Truesdale, I do believe we have an appointment with the school nurse." And he led me off, one arm round my waist.

End Oneshot

Chan: phew! When I started writing this I thought I'd upload it within a day or so of starting it, but no. three whole pages on word, that's a lot for one of my oneshots. There might be another sequel to this Oneshot at some point, but I have other plot bunnies to be made into oneshots.

Chazz: and she also has The Sound of Silence she's working on too. –Grumbles-

Chan: yep, so look out for that soon. Please leave a review if you read.
