I'm sorry, guys! ^-^" My dad has been home for the week (he fights fires, so...), and he likes to hog the computer. Not to mention I just had surgery the other day, plus it's hot, so I haven't felt up to writing. But because I love you all (and I love to write), here's some more. :3 enjoy!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&on with the story! :D

ETHAN POV

This was all just too ridiculous.

Benny, who never really liked anyone sincerely, was fighting over Dimi with Rory. I had a vision about this the first time I met Dimi. In the vision, she was a vampire, which freaked me out until I realized that she wasn't already a vampire, but Rory bit her and turned her into one. The vision wasn't just about that, though. It had something to do with Benny and Rory also. I was confused at the time, but when I asked Sarah about it she assured me that it was probably nothing. Well, guess what? It wasn't nothing.

I knew what the whole problem was. Rory and Benny both liked Dimi, and they were both breaking the guy code by going after her. I could understand why they like her, of course; she was pretty and had a great personality... not that I would think of her as anything more than a friend. I already had someone else in mind.

I figured out a few seconds later that Dimi knew that. "Hey, Ethan?" she said out of the blue. She was spacing out while she talked. I looked up. "Yeah?" I asked, confused. I had never really had a deep, philosophical discussion with her before, and I was a little fuzzy on her reasons for why she did.

Her eyes stared at nothing. "How do you feel about Sarah?" My face heated up. Did she know? "What about her?" I asked, my voice cracking. She looked at me, but I avoided looking her in the eye. "Do you like her?" she asked, point-blank. "Well, I, uh, she- uh, yeahhh..." I stuttered. "She's a great friend." Mentally, I was beating the shit out of myself. She's a great friend? What was I thinking?

Dimi looked back at the ground. "Oh," she said. I stopped walking. "Why?" I asked. "Does she... like me?" Dimi looked up. I could tell by her expression exactly what was going on. I glanced to my left. "Hey, look," I said, dropping the conversation with a nervous chuckle. "there's the roller rink."

As we entered the colorful, round building that smelled like feet and old pizza, it felt very awkward to be with Dimi. She was my friend, and I should be used to hanging out with her since I'd been doing it for over a month now, but there was this awkward silence between us. I had to find Sarah and Jane, fast.

Eventually, I caught Sarah's blue tee-shirt out of the corner of my eye and I led the way to where she and Jane were seated on a brightly-colored bench. Sarah got up and walked toward us with a smile. I couldn't help but smile back. "Hey, guys!" she said. "You here to rescue me from rollerskating?" I smiled inwardly. She's bad at rollerskating? I thought. Maybe I should help her out. I shook that thought away, remembering the sour feeling a half hour ago. "No, sorry," Dimi said, sitting down at one of the empty tables. Sarah sat down as well, so I gladly took the seat next to her. Dimi and I explained everything that had happened to Sarah, who listened with an expression that just got more and more tired looking. I felt bad that Sarah always wound up saving our asses, espescially since the boy is always supposed to be there for the girl. Not that I'm sexist, of course. If I, say, married her, we'd have a united front. I mean, it's not like women can't- "Ethan?" Sarah said, looking at me with her big brown eyes. A lump formed in my throat and my palms started sweating. "Ethan?" she asked again. I swallowed.

"Uhm, sorry," I said nervously, looking away from Sarah and at the table. "What were we talking about?" Dimi rolled her eyes. Eventually we just decided to stay at the roller rink until Benny and Rory would be gone.

We left at about nine when Jane was whining that she was tired. Dimi (who was surprisingly great with kids) picked her up and carried her home, even though Jane was eight years old. I suppose vampire super-strength has its perks.

Dimitri walked about 20 paces ahead of us the whole way, content with carrying Jane, and obviously deep in thought. Sarah and I talked in low whispers. "So," she said, hands in her pockets. "This whole thing is pretty crazy, right?" I nodded. I always felt so nervous around her. It wasn't fair how awkward I was, compared to Sarah, who was so amazing. I decided I needed to talk to her. "Sarah?" I said after thinking about it for ten minutes. She looked up. "Yeah?" I sighed, and stopped walking so I could look her in the eye. She stopped too, a confused look on her face. I wasn't sure what to say now that she was looking me in the eyes, and I was staring back. I was pretty sure I loved her; if love felt like you were falling off the Empire State Building and landing on a trampoline, and then falling again to land on something soft every time you looked at them. I sighed. "What do you think of me?" I asked, not letting her escape my stare. Her cheeks blushed. "What do you mean?" she asked. That bugged me a bit. "Sarah, you know exactly what I mean..." I said. I felt tired; not physically, but mentally, and I didn't want to play games when I was talking about something so serious. She looked like I felt. "Ethan..." she said, choking up a bit. "We're... just friends... okay?" She looked away and started walking home with a fast pace. My feet were glued in place. I shut my eyes, a sudden headache coming with the realization that to her, I was just a dumb kid.

So much for our united front.

owwwww, heartache! D'x

but keep going, my children... it won't hurt for long! n_n
