I'm really sorry for the really late update. I have been getting worse with updating but luckily it's finally the weekend I can get back to work before I go to sleep. I'm not that tired which is why I am taking the time to do this…well that and I haven't updated in two days. I also apologize for any mistakes in the last chapter and yes this story is mainly based off of the movie; if that isn't clear…well now it is.

Chapter Eleven: My Vampire Boyfriend

I'm never a girl to be completely mushy and in the moment but somehow I'm just lying here next to Freddie just staring at him. There were so many things about him that fascinated me that I couldn't help but stare as I pondered over them. I never liked thinking but somehow he always seemed to have my mind running. It was amazing how much he influenced who I am as a person.

I'm sure I had helped him with some aspects of his own eternal life. He seemed so sullen and upset with everything that went on around him and who would have thought that the girl that caused him the most pain in his blood thirst would be the one to lay next to him in a meadow. The sun shone brightly overhead as the rain clouds passed over.

Freddie's skin glimmered in the sunlight giving him a nearly angelic glow. I don't understand why he hated the most amazing traits of his character. I would kill to have the life he had…but that's just me. Me and Freddie are two totally opposite people and I think that's what draws me to him. His perfect face and grace was a bonus to what I had already begun to like.

He saw me as an equal which was another bonus. I hadn't been treated like that in a while. Not even Dani can treat me the way he does because she knows what I'm capable of. Somehow it's switched with me and Freddie because I knew what he's capable of and that's a lot compared to my simple human body.

How could one guy be so perfect? Only heaven knows and how could I have claim on him is a miracle in itself. I know that I deserve a lot because I'm the Samantha Annette Puckett but when it comes to Freddie I can't help but feel…undeserving.

I strode across my room and picked up my phone. I had twenty missed calls, eighty percent of them from my mother. I was lucky that Dan hadn't told her about the statue incident because that number of calls would have been multiplied by one hundred. I rolled my eyes as I scrolled down my missed calls. The last few numbers were people I would actually get back to.

Dani had called me, probably wondering why I wasn't in school yesterday and Jeannette had also called. I was surprised to see that Travis had called me twice. Who gave him my number because they were so going to die. I let out an agitated sigh as I deleted the messages he had left. Last number on the list was Freddie. I couldn't help but smile at this point.

I have never been so smiley in my entire life and it felt weird. Usually I would smirk or crack a half smile, but ever since yesterday I had been smiling genuinely like a normal person would. This was something to get used to and Dan had given me strange stares all night after he had grounded me for two days for skipping school all during yesterday and returning home after he got home from work. I had been with Freddie the whole time but Dan didn't need to know that.

My smile softened as I remembered the time I had spent with Freddie, just talking. He wasn't just my boyfriend now, he was my best friend. We couldn't keep secrets from each other and every once in a while he would ask me what I was thinking. Not being able to read my mind frustrated him to some extent but I still had some things he didn't need to know.

By now I was aware of many important things that would change my life from this point on. One of them was that I had to keep the Shay family secret. I couldn't let anybody know or the consequences would be tremendous. The next one was that Freddie had an extremely strong thirst for my blood and that being careful was a main priority for his sake. Finally, my third conclusion, I was simply head over heels, completely in too deep, unconditionally in love with him. This was a first for me but I wasn't going to let it scare me. I'm Sam so I can't be shaken easily.

I nodded to myself, making a silent pact with my conscience that I wouldn't let this hinder me in any way shape or form, fear wise. I had nothing to be afraid of. I glanced at my clock and noticed that I was just about late for school; like I cared. I heard a honk from outside in the front yard and I furrowed my brow. I was hoping Dan would have left so I had an excuse not to go to school on time.

I made my way to the window and my mouth gaped open when I saw Freddie waiting outside for me. It wasn't him that had me gawking; it was the car he was leaning against. Just a few days back he had a Ferrari Enzo but this one was much better looking. I recognized it instantly as the Bugatti Veyron, which was extremely rare. Only about one hundred of them existed in the world.

He waved at me and I smirked before quickly snatching up my backpack and leaving the house. I guess I wasn't going to be as late as I intended. Freddie drove like a maniac but only because he had at least fifty years of experience…no adult supervision needed.

Freddie pulled up in the school parking lot where I saw Dani beating up on Travis while he laughed. Jeannette was actually sharing a book with Ethan which surprised and scared me at the same time. If Ethan was reading, the end of the world was near. Most of the students were gathered back there, probably waiting for the bell to ring. People stared at the car and I couldn't help but smirk. I was sitting in a million dollar car with a trillion dollar boyfriend, why shouldn't I feel a bit arrogant?

I stepped out the car and Freddie came around the side of the car and smiled at me as he gestured towards the school. I understood now why his manners were old fashioned but that didn't mean I had to like them. We walked together and as soon as Dani's eyes landed on us her eyes widened but she was beaming nonetheless. Jeannette was smiling brightly as well while Travis just stared blankly. Many people were staring actually, including Valerie and Jake.

"Why is everybody staring? Do they have a problem?" I muttered under my breath as I shot a death glare in one boy's direction. Freddie chuckled lightly and took my hand within his and began to gently stroke the top of my hand with his thumb.

"That boy wasn't staring he glanced." He said smartly. I turned my glare on him and he pulled me closer to him before wrapping an arm around my shoulders. My glared instantly vanished and I smiled slightly. Freddie glanced over at Valeria and Jake and smiled. Carly who had joined them with Shane by her side smiled back. "I'm breaking all the rules while I can. I am going to hell anyway."

"You are dumb." I muttered while rolling my eyes. He chuckled and rubbed my shoulder.

"Yea but you like me anyway." He retorted smartly. I gave him a blank stare as we entered the school building and he just beamed at me childishly.

"Like I said, you are dumb." I sighed shaking my head as a playful smirk pulled at my lips. He laughed again before holding me tighter but not tight enough for me to get broke in half by his iron tight grip.

"So do people have to be dying to become like you?" I questioned as I threw a pebble into the river that streamed through the forests that Freddie and I were in just two days back. It had been on that day he had officially told me his secret…well more like I told him I knew.

"No, that's the case only with Spencer. He's a very compassionate and child-like character so he wouldn't do this to someone who actually had a choice." Freddie explained as he jumped from one rock to another with ease that was at least six feet up. I did my best to follow.

"So…how long have you been…you know; a vampire?" I asked as he stopped and took a seat on a moss covered rock. I took a seat next to him and stared at him expectantly. He looked frozen in a permanent state of contemplation.

"Well it was around nineteen eighteen. Spencer was a doctor to my family, well me and my mother. She was already dead and her last words were 'save my son' because the unknown sickness we were plagued with had infected me and I only had days to live. Spencer complied with my mother's wishes and infected me with his venom…" He explained. I furrowed my brow in interest and slight confusion. Did he mean that Spencer had given him eternal life through venom?

"What was it like?" I asked hesitantly. Freddie glanced at me and cracked a forced smile. I didn't want to seem like I was prying but this was just way too interesting and I would want to listen for hours if I could.

"It was the most horrible experience of my life and I was scared out of my mind by what Spencer could have done now that I look back upon that day." He said honestly as he stared out into the river. My confusion was getting the better of me now.

"What do you mean? Didn't he just have to bite you and then, bam; instant vampire?" I asked. I seemed to only be speaking in questions. If I asked this many questions in school I would not be getting bad grades.

"Not exactly…when we taste human blood we go into some sort of frenzy and it is nearly impossible to stop." Freddie said in a matter-of-fact tone as he glanced at me. I scrutinized him for a moment as I let the words sink in.

"But…Spencer did stop." I muttered. Freddie nodded solemnly as if he had some hidden regret. Why would he want to have been killed? That would have gone against his mothers wishes.

"Yes he did. He had done it before…to his younger sister. Carly was the first person he transformed. She had been penalized for associating with cold ones and was claimed as a witch. They tried to kill her but Spencer transformed her just in time. Then I was next…then his wife Chloe." He said leaving it at that. I didn't care how Valerie got transformed or when, and Jake didn't matter to me either. Shane interested me though but I rather not go into other people's private life. I had already pried enough

"So is Spencer the reason you don't drink human blood? Because of his own example of compassion for life?" I asked. Freddie shrugged before nodding slightly.

"He's not the only reason why I don't want to be a vampire. Our family is like vampire vegetarians. We only feed off of animal blood and that would be like a human only living off of tofu; it will keep you strong but it will never really satisfy you." He explained. I nodded in understanding. It was good to know the reasons why and most of my questions were being answered up front now so I no longer felt that burden of sudden annoyance.

"What about those animal attacks…were they…" I trailed off and he nodded confirming my suspicions. I shook my head feeling a bit hurt.

"Yes, they were actually other vampires. My family has come into contact with many other vampires from time to time." He said with a shrug. I let out a sigh. My father's friend was killed by a vampire; that was upsetting; even to think, especially since there are vampires like Freddie who don't kill.

"So can everybody else in your family read minds too?" I asked folding my hands. He pursed his lips before shaking his head frantically. I quirked an eyebrow at him waiting for my next explanation.

"No, it's only me. Carly can see the future though." He said as he locked eyes with me. My heart skipped a beat. How many times had I mentioned how much I loved his eyes.

"Was she nice to me because she saw me coming?" I asked as my mouth curved up into a smirk. Freddie rolled his eyes at me.

"Carly's visions are subjective but when we started getting closer she had gotten something. She told me so when I got home two days back." He said with a slight smile. "But the thing is the future can always change."

All done and it's only…1:05 in the morning. Ugh I am so tired. Thank you peoples who read this chapter and I hoped you liked it. I tried my best and I didn't want to stick too close to the plot of the movie although I sorta did. Darn me. Well I let you do what ya gotta do and Pweez review.
