Chapter 3

"Hey, Ashley wait!!" James said as Ashley was getting a snack out of the fridge.

"Wait, what're you eating?" James asked.

"Pickles with peanut butter. You should try it." Ashley said dipping a pickle into the peanut butter jar.

"Ok, that's weird. Most people dip celery in peanut butter. Not pickles." James said, making a face.

"Well I'm not most people!" Ashley said munching on her pickle.

"Well, ok. So, you never gave me an answer from outside." James said. Ashley swallowed her pickle.

"An answer to what?" Ashley said. He took her hand, which she now looked down at.

"Do you want to go on a date with me?" James asked, now rubbing her hand with his thumb. Ashley swallowed hard.

"Umm...." Before she could answer, he kissed her. She pulled away. And moved back.

"Where are you going?" James said. She moved back. He got close to her again. His face was 2 inches from hers. She wrapped her arms arounds his neck and kissed him one more time.

"Get in the hot tub. I'll meet you there." She said seductively. He put his hand on the counter so he didn't fall over. She turned herself back to the fridge. He swallowed hard and gasped. He muttered "Nice ass.", and walked outside. She laughed and took the chips out of the cupboard.

"Hey give me those." Edward said. He tried to grab them out of Ashley's hand but she moved back.

"Nice bikini." Edward said flirting with her. He tended to do that to get his way.

"Hey, stop. I have a guy now." Ashley said moving back more, with the chips in her hand.He smiled.

"A guy as in.........a boyfriend?" Edward asked mischieviously.

"Sort of." Ashley said. Edward's eyebrows went up.

"Yes." Ashley said. Edward smiled, yet again trying to grab the chips from her. She smiled and ran. He chased her around the counters. She finally climbed on one of the counters and sat down with the bag of chips in her left hand dangling high in the air.

"Very funny, Ashley. Give me those chips before I kiss you. Your brother will be pissed if I do." Edward said.

"You think I'm joking, I'm not. I will do it if that's what it takes." Edward said trying to reach for the bag. He finally kissed her. When she wouldn't give up the bag, he deepened it. She finally gave the bag to him and he pulled away.

"Thank you." He said and walked off sticking some chips into his mouth.

"I bought them." She muttered.

"I heard that." Edward said. Ashley laughed.

"Yeah, of course you did." Ashley said, then laughed again. Taylor came inside with a towel around her.

"Hey. Your brothers went skateboarding, if you care." Taylor said and threw the towel on the couch and came over to where Ashley was.

"No, I really don't." Ashley said. Taylor dipped a pickle into the peanut butter jar.

"Of course not." Taylor said. Just then they saw someone by the window, outside.

"Who's that?" Ashley said as she was trying to see who it was, but it was too dark outside.

"I don't know. But this is what I hate about glass houses. Everyone can see what you're doing, EVERY minute of the day! But glass protects vampires so....." Taylor said Ashley squinted her eyes to see what the guy was doing.

"Wait....what is he doing?" Ashley said. Just then they heard galss shatter. It came over from where that guy was. Ashley hopped off the counter.

"You, asshole!!! You'll be getting a bill from my insurance!" Ashley yelled at the guy on the floor, who was now covered in glass. He looks like someone they know.

"Ouch." The guy said and got up. Ashley looked at his face closely. It was the Korean dude in their class named Jake.

"Jake!!?" Ashley yelled. As soon as Taylor heard Ashley say Jake, she ran over to where they were. James came in the front door, along with Alex and Cole.

"You know, we really need security." James suggested....more like implied. Ashley looked at him and crossed her arms.

"I thought you were skateboarding." Ashley said, now looking at Alex and Cole.

"Well, we were but James came to get us when he heard glass break." Cole said. Ashley just stared at them.

"You couldn't knock on the front door?!" Ashley yelled at Jake.

"Sorry." He said. Everyone walked back over to the kitchen and Ashley went over to the other side of the island.

"So, what kind of blood do you drink?" Jake asked. No one seemed to notice what he had just asked.

"Oh, I drink O+." Ashley said. Everyone looked at her but she was staring at the counter and didn't seem to notice what was going on.

"So, you guys are vampires?" Jake said and laughed.

"How did you know that?" Ashley asked then slapped her forehead.

"Nice going." Taylor said and dipped another pickle in the peanut butter.

"So you guys ARE vampires?" Jake asked excitedly.

"Yes." Everyone said seriously.

"But you're sworn to tell no one." Alex said. Jake nodded.

"Of course I won't tell anyone." Jake said. Alex nodded. He looked at Taylor and Ashley who were now eating.

"Why are you guys eating? Are you two like not vampires or something?" Jake said and made a confused face.

"We're allowed to eat." Taylor said. Jake's eyebrow went up.

"Really?" Jake asked. Everyone nodded.

"So, can you drink soda? Or anything besides blood?" Jake asked. Once again, everyone nodded. His eyes went wide.

"Yeah we can. We just have to make sure we drink 3 glasses of blood a day, 'cause we have to live off it." Ashley said. Jake nodded.

"Hmm. Interesting." Jake said.

"Vampires in the east coast are different from vampires on the west coast. We had advantages and disadvantages. So do they." Ashley said.

"Ok. I have time, you can tell me." Jake said. Everyone looked at him.

"Hey, you guys are my friends. It's only fair to know." Jake said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Ok. Vampires in the east coast can eat and drink. Other, than blood. But we have to make sure we have at least 3 glasses a day. Because as I said before, we live off blood just like ALL vampires. We also have our disadvantages to. We can't go out in the day AT ALL. Otherwise, we burn to a crisp." Ashley said. Jake laughed at the last sentence. Everyone looked at him.

"Sorry." Jake said and turned his head.

"And, we don't sleep." She said. Jake looked at her closely.

"AT ALL." She said. He nodded.

"I didn't say it was a disadvantage though. So, on the west coast vampires CAN'T eat. They have to have a certain amount of blood a day like us. But they have to drink more. Maybe they don't have a certain amount a day. I just know they live off of it to. They sleep in freezers, NOT coffins. And they can go out in the day, just not for long periods of time." Ashley explained and paused, as Jake was now processing everything.

"Wow, that's really interesting." Jake said and smiled. Everyone just looked at him.

"You think it is, until you get turned into a vampire. Speaking of turning, we all get turned the same way. The vampire bites your neck until your unconcious. The vampire then bites their arm and they pour the blood into the human's mouth, therefore turning them into a vampire. Sometimes they live, sometimes they don't. It all depends how much blood the vampire took from them. That's why we're way more careful then humans, no offense." Ashley said. Jake nodded.

"So, how do you guys die?" Jake asked. Everyone paused for a moment.

"Well, the west coast vampires can get killed from fire, decapitation, silver, or too much sun, which can happen eventually. And the east coast vampires can't die, just like in Twilight. But we CAN die if we go out in the sun." Ashley said. Jake nodded, but then got confused.

"Wait, what about this glass house? How does the sun not get to you?" Jake asked.

"Funny you should mention that." James said.

"Well the vampires are invincible as long as they're inside. Meaning, the sun's rays can't get to the vampires, even if they're in a glass house." James said.

"That's really cool! Is it like that for west coast vampires?" Jake asked. Everyone shook their head no.

"So, can you die by a cross or garlic?" Everyone laughed.

"What?" Jake asked.

"I told you. We can only die by the sun. That's the bigger difference between the east and west coast vampires. But, now we're in trouble." Ashley said. Everyone looked to the ground.

"Why?" Jake asked. Alex turned his head to the one side of the broken house.

"Oh, sorry. I'll have that fixed. What's your repairman's phone number?" Jake asked. Everyone looked at him and made a face.

"The same as yours dude. Except you don't get a repairman to fix some glass. You have to call the Window Company. Or the glass house company" Alex said and laughed. Everyone looked at HIM now.

"This is serious, man." Cole said.

"Do you want to help?" Taylor asked.

"Of course! I don't want you to die because of something I did!" Jake said. Everyone smiled.

"Here." Taylor put the phone book in front of him and turned to the correct page.

"Call this number." Taylor said and pointed to the number.

"Ok." Jake said and dialed the number.

"They said they would be here at 3:00 AM, since the closest Glass House company you have is 3 hours away and their company is in Georgia." Jake said.

"We're vampires we heard everything he said." Alex said. Taylor lightly smacked him on the arm.

"What city in Georgia?" Ashley asked.

"Albany. They said it was like 3 hours and 20 minutes away." Jake said.

"Ok. Estimated time, 3 hours and 20 minutes. They should be getting here around 3:30 AM, I guess." Ashley said and smiled.

"Thanks Jake. Just don't do that again!" Ashley said, then smiled.

"Ok. Sorry guys." Jake said.

"Apology accepted." Everyone said.

A/N: This was about the longest chapter I've written out of both my stories. But, I hope you liked it. Also, Albany, GA really is like 3 hours away from Jacksonville. I spent 20 minutes researching it. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I should be making Chapter 4 tonight. Please review! Thx! :D
