"Ashley?"
I couldn't answer her.
I was screaming, but no sound was coming out of my mouth.
My eyes are wide open and staring at her.
She walked over to me and sat in front of me.
She took my hands in hers.
"It's going to be ok Ash. Do you want me to get you some more blood?"
I nodded, glad that she hasn't run out the door and left me to die.
I drank the fourth packet and leaned into Spencer.
The pain started getting better and my stomach even started to heal.
It wouldn't heal completely though.
"Ash, tell me what you need."
"F…Freeee…Freesh… bl… blood."
Then I expected her to run. But she didn't.
She took off her jacket.
"Spence, what are you doing?" my voice was shaking and weak.
"You said you need fresh blood, and the way I see it, I'm the only source you have."
"But I won't be able to stop."
"I trust you Ash."
"I couldn't. I'll just jump someone on the street."
"Ash! You aren't strong enough!"
"But I'll kill you!"
"I'll stop you." she held out her wrist.
I could see her pulse. It was too fast.
She was scared.
"Spencer, tell me you aren't scared that I will kill you."
"I know you won't kill me Ashley. I'm scared you might die if you don't get over it and bite me!"
I held her arm with both hands.
Slowly, I lowered my head and sunk my teeth into her arm.
She winced at the pain and I couldn't help but feel really guilty about this whole situation.
But I started to suck.
She hung her head and I knew that she was trying not to pass out because of the pain.
Her blood tasted sweet, like warm honey.
I could feel her getting weak.
I know I have to let her go soon or she will die. But I can't.
"Ash." She whispered.
I let go immediately.
"Why did you stop?"
"Spence, any longer any you would die."
"But that felt really good."
She looked really pale and I hated seeing her like this.
"It tasted really good too Spence."
"So what's the problem?"
"The problem is that you are like really weak and have almost no blood left."
"Oh. I can't believe you didn't tell me you were a vampire!"
"I can't believe you didn't tell me you were gay."
"I'm sorry. But the reasons I didn't tell you I'm gay seem really stupid now. I mean, you had real reasons why you couldn't tell me the biggest thing in your life."
"Spence, your reasons were real reasons. Its just I had a bigger secret."
"I guess. Can we just be like completely honest with each other from now on?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Let me see if your stomach has healed."
I lifted up my blood soaked shirt to show my toned abs.
Her fingers reached out and ran all over my stomach.
I shivered at her touch and closed my eyes.
Her fingers stopped on my stomach, just above my belly button.
Her breathing got deeper.
I opened my eyes and moved into her.
She moved into me.
Our lips were less than three inches apart.
My phone rang.
"Who the hell calls at three in the morning!" Spencer asked, slightly upset.
"It's my friend from Europe. He hasn't got it in his head yet that there is a time difference."
"Why would he call though… so early in the morning, where ever he is it must be pretty early."
"I don't know."
I answered the call but quickly told him in the politest way possible to piss off.
"He wanted to wish me happy birthday."
"It's your birthday?"
"Yesterday."
"I'm so sorry I forgot your birthday!"
"No, no! Spence, you didn't forget it." I walked back up to her and grabbed onto her hand. "I never told you."
"So how old are you really?"
"Three hundred and twenty three."
"Wow!"
"I know."
"That must have been so cool. I mean, you were alive through some of the best… wait, why do you look like you are sixteen?"
"Because that's how old I was when I got turned."
"So young. I'm so sorry Ashley. That must have been so hard."
"It was. But I mean, I spent the last fifty years staying away from people. I didn't want to watch a new group of friends die."
"Oh." Her head lowered. I lifted her chin up with my finger.
"Spence, I don't know why but I feel like, really drawn to you."
"Yeah, I feel the same."
"But I have to be honest with you, I don't know what I want yet, or what to make of what I am feeling."
"Me neither."
"But I'm glad you didn't completely freak when you found out my little secret."
"Ash, you are my best friend. I will stand by you until the end."
"Thank you Spence. That means a lot."
"And if you ever want fresh blood again, I'll never say no, alright." She blushed slightly and I just smiled at her, pulling her into a hug.
"Love ya Spence."
"Love ya Ash."
"You need to rest now, you have lost a lot of blood."
"What about you?"
"I will sleep during the day."
"But what about coffee this afternoon?" she pouted.
"I guess I could always sleep now."
"Good."
The pulled me by my hand into my bedroom and asked if she could borrow a change of clothes.
We changed and fell asleep together.
