Chapter 11:

||Juliet's POV||: I arrive at the Russo residence, feeling so calm. I'm so used to their foolishness that even if I mess up on something, it's not as bad as their mishaps.

I knock on the door and take a step back, leaving space from me and the yellow door. Justin opens and exclaims, "Juliet! You're just in time! Everyone's here. Butterfly kiss!" I lean in bat my eyelashes against his.

I then turn around and see the whole family giving us an awkward look, most likely Melissa. She's not used to it, though! Alex just comments, "Ew! You two may be meant for each but you guys are just so... Ugh!"

I then sit down next to Melissa and ask, "So, Melissa, are you going to be a wizard like Max?"

She shakes her head and said, "I choose a vampire! It's something that totally relates to me, Max approves it, and Holly is going to help me through it."

Max nods his head and said, "I love her to death and if she is willing to do this, then I'm okay with it!"

The family and I open our mouths in awe, some in shock (Mrs. Russo and Alex comes to mind) and Mason commented, "Well I think that's sweet! Alex, didn't you say she was going to be a mermaid?"

She shrugs and said, "Well if she's a vampire, then I'm okay with that! I mean, I have the mermaid scale and if you don't want it anymore, then I'll just keep it in a safe in the lair."

Justin snatches it from her hands and yells, "Hey! Those are fragile and hard to clip off of a mermaid! I'll put it in the lair."

We then begin to eat, leaving an awkward silence. I then ask, "Wait, then who's going to bite you?"

She shrugs, giving me an I don't know expression. "I haven't really asked anyone and Holly refused! She thinks it's really weird for her."

I nod my head and then say, "Well then how about I do it? It'll only take a few seconds...before you get knocked out and feel doozy with maybe some side effects!"

Her face gives me a smile and said, "Sure!" I know it must be weird to volunteer to bite someone's neck but that is just how life goes on!

We then continue eating and when we finish, Max and Melissa decided to go upstairs to the room.

||Melissa's POV||: I follow Max right behind him. He opens the door and gestures, saying, "Ladies first!" I narrow my eyebrows, thinking, He's now that polite? I then say, "Why thank you!" I then walk, still keeping watch of him from the corner of my eyes.

I then see him staring at something. "Hey, stop looking at my bottom!" He laughs and I just think, Oh wow, Max! So sneaky. -.-

I start getting disgusted with myself, thinking of all these pervy thoughts in my head. I sit down and see that his room is spotless. He cleaned for once!

I sit on his bed and take off my heels. Max gets something from his back pocket and bends in one knee in front of me. He ties his shoe lace and then holds up a blue box from the ground.

He then said, "Melissa, we've gone out for weeks and–" Mr. Russo passes by his room and spots us. He pops his eyes open and runs to Max, interrupting him by saying, "NO! What.. Are you doing?" Max narrows his eyebrows and says, "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm just giving her something!" Mr. Russo said, "Yea but you do know you're too young to be hitched, right?"

Max, still confused, asks, "What do you mean by getting hitched? Is it like going to a rodeo or something?" Mr. Russo slaps his forehead with his palm and asks, "Just what are you giving her?"

Max gives a slight smile and hands me the box. He says, "Yu'll just have to see. Open it!"

I gently pull apart the black ribbon and lift the blue top. I then see a small silver infinity ring tucked inside a red pillow. My smile grows to the largest I've ever smiled.

I say, "Max! This is beautiful!" He lifts the ring and turns it over. It read in beautiful cursive, "Max and Melissa forever" three diamond studs line up on each side of the quote.

"Aww," I say, "Max, I love it! Thank you!" I hug him and kiss him, falling for the world. He slips it on my forefinger of my right hand twines his fingers to mine. Mr. Russo sighs of relief, putting his hand over his heart.

I take out my polaroid and he asks, "Want me to take it?" We both nod heads as I hand him the camera. He snaps the picture and gives it back to us with a smile.

All of a sudden, he called out, "Honey! Max's room is stuffy, I need tissues!" He walks out with tears filling his eyes of joy. I smile warmly and take out the scrapbook.

I label it on the scrapbook, Last Moment Before A Vampire. I put in today's date and let Max print out the picture.

We then hear Juliet call out, "Melissa, Max! Come down here! I'm going to bite you!" I then hear Alex comment, "Wow, I never thought I would hear any of those words in real life!"

I come down and see Juliet tell Alex, "Well our lives aren't normal!"

She then walks to me and drags me by the hand. She gently moves my hair away from my neck. She places her hands in-between my head and neck, and on my shoulders.

Justin asks, "Are you ready for this?" I nod my head. Mason said, "Wow, this is some... Night!" "Hey, we count this night as normal," Alex said, "You should've seen other nights where... Okay imma stop talking now!"

I hear my breathe coming out myself. Inside, I'm screaming. I'm like, Are you kidding me, Justin? I am ready for this but I'm freakin scared to death!

Max then holds my hand and whispers, "Don't worry, I'm here for you!"

I close my eyes and hear Alex say, "Go ahead!"

||Max's POV||: I can feel that she is nervous, stuttering. I held her hand to let her know that she is going to be alright. But to be honest, I don't know if she will!

Juliet says, "Ok... Here we go..." She then sinks her teeth onto her skin. Melissa squints her eyes, trying not to scream from the pain but she starts to lighten up.

Justin turns away. Disgusted, yelling, "Ew! Ew! Ew! What kind of world do we revolve around?" Alex just laughs at him, saying, "A world where they sell your dolls!" He exclaimed angrily, "They're action figures!" I couldn't help but chuckle

Juliet then releases, wiping her mouth of blood. Melissa then collapses onto me, so I let her stay in my arms. "That is awesome," I say, "Watching a vampire bite a person.. 4D!" Justin, Alex, and Juliet give me weird faces and roll their eyes.

"Although, there is still some blood on her neck." I say. Juliet raises her hand and said, "Oh I'll get that–" Alex and Justin interrupt, "NO!" I carry her bridal style to the couch and I just let her sleep on my lap.

Alex takes out her wand and zaps Melissa's clothes to sweats. I ask her, "Can you change my clothes too? You know the lazy me!" She rolls her eyes and zaps me into my sweats.

Juliet says, "She will stay asleep like that for tonight and she'll wake up tomorrow morning by around 9 am and such! But watch if she gets anxious in the morning because that means she can feel the pain, which is good! That means I bit her, hard."

I nod my head and just let her sleep. I lay down and move her body next to me. I put around her waist and pull her closer to me. I then close my eyes, falling to sleep.

Melissa's now a vampire. This should be good! Right?

Author's note: I know the ending is cheesy. Deal with it.
