Chapter 1: part 3: The Beginning

Adam's P.O.V

I was pulled back to reality by Darren's voice on my answering machine. "Hey Adam, Its me! I was just calling to see if you were okay, you seemed kinda mad today. Anyways, call me back when you get this! I love you! Bye." Why had I just stared at the phone instead of picking it up to talk to him? I had been too wrapped in my thoughts to register the slightly sticky mess inside my jeans and my exteded fangs.

"God just thinking about him makes me so damn horny." I quietly said to myself. I got up and walked to my shower and got in. By the time I got out of the shower it was almost dark. I walked from the bathroom to my room without bothering to cover up, which I later regreted when I turned on my light and saw Christi sitting on my bed. I calmly walked over to my dresser and got a pair of boxers and sleep pants out to wear. After putting them on and ran my hand through my hair, and turned to face her with an upset look on my face.

"What are you doing here?" I said "And how did you get into my apartment?"

She looked at me with sad puppy eyes, hoping that they would help her case. "For one, I wanted to talk to you and for two, you didn't lock the door." She sat motionless as she spoke.

"What is there to talk about? Its been only hours since I broke up with you." my voice was starting to raise.

She bowed her head and said, "I still love you,...even if you don't love me." tears had started to fall from her face as the last part came out. I kneeled down and took her face in my hands, lifting it as I spoke to her, "Hey don't cry...please don't cry. You know I hate it when you cry." There had been a faint hint of a smile before only more tears reamined. I wrapped her into a hug and slowly stroked her hair.

"Its okay now, so please don't cry..." my voice now starting to crack with tears gathering in my eyes. I lifted her head up again and kissed her on the forehead. "I'll always love you...only now its a different kind of love. More like love for a best friend I guess you could say. I'm sorry but thats all I feel for you now."

Christi's P.O.V

His voice only echoed in my ears, I didn't want to believe what he had just said to me. "Now, do you want me to walk you home Christi?" He said, acutal concern in his voice.

"No, I'll be fine." my tears had stopped and I stood to walk to the door, "Thank you for telling me this, I won't bother you anymore." my voice was emotionless as I could manage, but you could stil hear the hurt in it.

Adam's P.O.V

I watched as she walked out of the door and heard my front door open and shut again. I hoped that she would be alright, but I figured that I'd follow her home anyways, and maybe ask her mom to keep an eye on her for a little while. It couldn't hurt...could it?

Christi's P.O.V

I walked out of his room, leaving him behind me, only one thought pressing on my mind...I would leave him alone...forever. The rain was coming down even harder now and thunder was beginning to sound. I stuck my hand into my pocket and ran my fingers over the razor blade lying in there. My mind was made up the very second he confessed his feelings for me had changed, I had planned for this outcome. I am going to take my life...tonight...

I turned down the street, heading towards the neighborhood park, instead of going home.

Adam's P.O.V

I watched as she turned to enter the street going towards the park and picked up my pace. My heart racing faster with every foot step. I had a feeling what she was going to do, I just hoped that it was wrong.

Christi's P.O.V

I entered the park and went to sit under the slide canopy to escape the pounding rain. I sat ther for a few moments shivering from the cold. I pulled the razor blade out of my pocket and ran my fingers over the shiny surface of the metal. My hands started to shake.

Adam's P.O.V

I don't know how but I was able to get so close to her without her realizing it but I did. But when I saw a glint of metal in her hands and then her hands started to shake, I had to stop her from doing anything to harm herself. "Christi!" I shouted. Her head shot up and turned in my direction. Her hand tightened around the razor blade. The smell of iron and the sight of crimson liquid sliding down her arm is what made me leap onto her from five feet away. I had forgotten that I hadn't showed her my vampire side although since my eyes were red, she probably knew now.

She struggled but I managed to keep her pinned down with one hand so that I could use the other to remove the razor blade from her hand, exposing a deep gash in the palm of her right hand, and alot of blood. She had tears streaming down her face while I fought the urge to lean down and start licking up the blood from her hand. I closed my eyes for a moment and shoved that part of me to the back of my mind and kept it there.

"Why are you doing this?!?" I shouted at her, while grabbing my shirt and ripping a strip of cloth off to wrap up her hand. She answered me in quiet sobs "You said that you didn't love me anymore, not like I love you." she said staring at her hand. "How did you do that?" Her voice now curious.

"Your coming home with me, we'll get this cleaned up" I said holding her right hand,"then we'll talk, okay?" I said after I finished tying the last knot of cloth for her hand. "Does your mom know that..well about us?" She just shook her head. "Okay then when we get back to my place, I will call your mom and tell her that your going to stay the night because of the storm." I said.

I pulled her into a hug and she buried her face in my chest. "Okay, lets go." I picked her up, cradling her, and carried her home.

Hi its me again! This one wasn't as long as the last one but of course you know why. Anyways things have been hectic and I'm going back to work soon so the updates are going to be few and far between, so please be patient. Thanks for reading! Oh yeah...
