Lolita

At first the phone kept ringing but when I was finally sure it would go to voicemail he answered. "Hello?"

"Lysander? Its Lolita"

"Oh hey, are you alright? You sound weird."

Was it that obvious? "Um yeah. Hey are you still in town?"

"Yes, why? Want to hang out?"

"Yeah kind of. Meet me at the park near my house?"

"Sure. I'll be there In 10." He hung up.

"Gosh I hope this helps..." I murmured. I tried waiting patiently but it was completely useless. My mood had been ruined. I was crying inside a tube at the playground when he found me. I admit being found like that was so awkward I couldn't help but laugh at the same time. "Sorry I didn't want you to find me like this." For a moment I could see the confusion in his eyes, I didn't think he knew what to do. I got out of the tube and sat with him on the swings.

"So what's this about?" he asked.

I explained to him about the whole memory loss thing and everything, it was quite funny that he looked at me the whole time as if he was waiting for me to cry again. After I was done Lysander carefully hugged me.

"You know sweetheart, maybe you should just apologize and start over with him." He said softly.

I pondered for a moment and decided he was right. Nothing else would allow will let me feel at ease. The rest of the afternoon we went to the arcade and I treated him to dinner.

When I got home I looked for Charlotte. I found her in the kitchen covered in blood.

"What the hell?" I said surprised.

"I was just trying to get some chicken blood, I'm running out. So what do you want?" she said normally.

"That's gross. Poor chicken…" I pouted. "I was wondering if you had Alexander's phone or email or whatever."

"I don't. They kind of live next door. Why?" She said with an eye brow raised.

"I just wanted to apologize…" I murmured.

"What?"

"I wanted to apologize..." I said just a little bit louder.

"Would it kill you to speak a little louder?"

"I just wanted to apologize! Okay? Gosh. Ill just go next door."

She burst out laughing. "its like 11 pm. Isnt it a little too late now?"

"Not in vampire hours…"

"Maybe not to them but you have been awake since morning, isn't that a little unhealthy? Besides we are visiting some humans tomorrow so you have to be on your best behavior." She told me while wiping a little blood of her face.

I groaned. "Fine mother."

"Sassy girl." She murmured.

I arrived at the campus at around noon with a suitcase on one hand and a phone on the other. Summer was finally over, and I was content. I needed a break from home. The only thing I regretted was not apologizing to Alexander that whole time, we didn't even speak to eachother. I was glad I would get to see my friends after 2 months. Once I was assigned a dorm I went straight there to leave my stuff. We met up at a bookstore inside the campus. We had a tradition of always coming her every morning to drink something in the little coffee shop that was inside it. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the store, it looked like any other but my favorite part about it was the green and blue striped wallpaper, something about it just made it more appealing. Alexiel and Heather were already waiting for me in a four person table, which was odd considering there were three people tables they could have chosen.

"Hey, what's up? Is Yuki coming as well?" I asked as a sat down.

They greeted me with a hug. "We ordered hot chocolate for you~ Oh no, that's not it. Alexiel wanted to introduce her new male friend." Heather said with a wink.

"Really? I'm happy for you! Did you meet him during break?"

"Actually, yes! And he's more than just my male friend, he's my fiancé! He's so dreamy. He just went to the bathroom but he will be here soon! Ah, I can't wait for you to meet him." She gushed.

We continued chatting and catching up until Alexiels fiancé returned. Which was hilarious really. I mean, it's not every day you find out the guy you thought was your fiancé ends up with one of your best friends.

"Alexander?" I said shocked, almost choking on the hot chocolate, by the way. Honestly, the last time I talked to him was when we fought after I took my sisters potion. I did try to apologize but I couldn't figure out how. The rest of break I had spent my time with Lysander, trying to come up with ways to do it but in the end I had run out of time and never got the chance.

"You know Alexander, Lolita?" Alexiel asked confused.

He looked at me. "Well do you? Or have you been to busy with your fiancé?" He said, his voice full of accusation.

"Eh?" Had he lost his mind? Last time I checked he had been my fiancé but damn no one tells me anything anymore.

"You know, Lysander."

"Lolita you have a fiancé? That's wonderful why didn't you tell us?" Heather exclaimed, oblivious to the situation.

I didn't know what to say. Was Lysander my fiancé? He could have been, I had spent so much time with him maybe Mom changed it… but I would have thought she might have told me…

"But..." I blinked just to make sure i wasn't dreaming. Which was a high possibility at this point. "Lysander?" I asked. He nodded.

I realized now what a mistake it had been to put off my apology to Alexander. During my time with Lysander everyone must have assumed I had fallen in love with him. I realized while I was trying to apologize that maybe I did like Alexander. From what I remembered, in elementary he had been so sweet. Maybe... Just maybe the reason he acted so weird when we met again during break was because he was so confident that I wouldn't reject him… If that was the case then I must have caused him so much pain… And now he's engaged to my best friend, and there was nothing to be done about it.
