'What in the world was I doing?' my thoughts were saying to me, it wasn't like Erik to break the rules, actually I have never seen him break any rules and now that he is part of the staff, it was really way out of character.

Few words were said to one another as we made our way to Erik's car but that came to a stop as Erik stood purposly in front of me.

"Why don't we walk?" He asked with a crooked smile that would make me melt inside.

"You're kidding right" I blurted out, I bit my tounge, maybe he was serious and I would love to walk but with all this awkward energy around us, I didn't really feel like walking like some loved up couple.

Erik scanned me, looking me down and then back up, wow weird.

"Yeah" he joked while adding some fake laughter into his voice, as he put one of his hands through his hair, he opened the car door for me, I was beginning to think this little outing was a bad idea. Erik muttered something under his breath as he closed the door behind him.

As we drove out of the school gates like a bunch of uncontrollable teenagers, not a single car was on the road, it felt as if everything was in slow motion. Oh wait, that was just Erik's driving, one hand on the wheel while the other resting behind my head cushion.

My eyes wandered around the car as I tried to come up with something to say.

"Where are we going?" I asked, it was all that seemed to matter to me. Then again where could we go in the human world that was not closed at this time at night?

"Wanna grab a bite to eat?" He asked, smiling.

"Sounds good" I answered.

"Okay, pick someone"

I watched him sort of confused to what he just said "You mean... pick a place?" I asked slowly.

He scoffed "No silly, a person on which we can feed on of course! Now I don't know about you but I like that girl over there, fresh" He pointed out the brunette past out on the side of the road.

Okay, my heart was beating at a really fast pace as my mind was gathering images of me and Erik drinking off the poor girls's blood. But then I thought about my imprinting with Heath and how I enjoyed his blood too much, I didn't want to happen again. Erik watched my reaction still smiling.

"You're kidding right?" I repeated "W-we can't do that, I thought you of all people-" I paused.

He laughed lightly "Calm down, I was kidding" he said chuckled to himself. I guess this was for his own entertainment, I didn't feel in the laughing mood.

Erik had parked around the corner from my usual hangout, well it was the fast food restaurant I enjoy so much but I still did not get why Erik had to park so far when these streets were so empty at night, to prevent theft?

Our hands were wandering by our sides as we walked the short distance to the restaurant.

It was pretty dark with only the street lights to keep us company, every often as we walked under and past the street lights I would get a glimpse of Erik's face, it almost seemed to look... troubled. As I observed his face posture, Erik started to relax a little, probably noticing that I was watching him, he looked back at me, his eyes dropping for seconds and then back up to my face, slowly he smiled at me as he slipped his hands in mine, it was pleasantly warm. Our hands in each others only lasted a few short minutes as we arrived as the fast food retaurant, I released his hands and went inside.

"This is becoming a habit of yours" the guy behind the counter said, he smiled at me as if he had been waiting for me.

"Scuze' me?" I questionned.

"You tend to come here at a certian time and..." his eyes shifted behind me... Erik.

"Would you like your usual?" He asked me, I smiled back, I have a usual here, awesome! I nodded back, my smile never fading, I was glad I was wearing concealer!

Erik came up behind me putting his hands around my waist "I'll have the same, please" suddenly... my smile faded.

"Coming right up, sir" he started tapping away on the cash register, I noticed how he had dark brown eyes, it looked as if they were black but in the light you could just about see the pupils, even though he had the company hat on, his brown curles were coming out of it, he looked... cute, he had to be a few years older than Heath if he was aloud to work at this time of night. He reminded me of Heath.

I tried scoffing as much as I could into my mouth, it was making my jaw and throat hurt from all this hard work, I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings, but as I caught a glimpse of Erik, it was appear that he was watching me with fascination, his face looked so troubled I dared to ask him what was wrong.

"Where's the fire?" He asked, sipping his drink.

I paused, burger and fries flooding my mouth as I tried to understand his words.

I painfully swallowed the huge chunks of food, "What do you mean?"

He sighed, "Never mind that, I have been meaning to ask you-"

Before he could continue, I started coughing like mad, I felt as if the food that I rapidly tried to digest was screaming at me to come back up and be chewed more gently, in other words, I was going to throw up.

I clapped my hands in front of my mouth but I was still coughing, this was so not happening!

Erik shifted from his seat and sat by me, one hand rubbing my back as he tried to get me to calm down, he held out my drink of brown pop, I willingly took it and started drinking until the food went back down.

"Are you okay?" he asked still rubbing my back.

I let my head fall, I felt my cheeks go warm "Sorry" I mumbled.

Erik chuckled lightly as he stopped rubbing my back and hugged me tightly as I felt his warmth.

The hug lasted onto a few short seconds but somehow I could still smell his cool scent as it filled my nostrils getting rid of that bad fast food restaurant smell... if that even existed but in my case, it did.

My phone started to ring in my pocket, forgetting that I had Erik sat next to me, I answered.

"Why did you leave Heath and go off and do some "hankey pankey"?" Aphrodite shouted down the phone, how did she get my number?

"I'm not doing any- look this has nothing to do with you, later"

She scoffed "No wait-" she said as I shut the phone on her.

I slid the phone back in my pocket, "Who was that?"

"Oh thats just Aphrodite asking about-" I Paused as I looked up at him, his eyes full of curiosity.

"About?" Erik asked.

After a few seconds I answered him "Asking about... nothing, just being her usual self, you know" I convincingly smiled.

I decided to change the subject "So, what was it you wanted to ask me?"

"What?"

"Before I was... choking" I shuddered at the embarrassing moment "you said there was something you have been meaning to ask me, right?"

"Oh right! Its... nothing really"

I guess we both had our secrets today.

"Maybe we should head back" I suggested.

A small frown came across his face but disappeared "Sure" he said silently.

We hardly spoke to each other in the car on our way home, as we arrived at the gate, a white van sped past us coming out the gates, I noticed how the logo looked like a piece of lego, funny.

Erik opened the car door for me and then closed it behind me, he caught my arm as I tried to walk off and pulled it so I was leaning on the car.

"I had fun tonight" he said resting his hands on the car beside my shoulders.

"Me too" I said quietly because I didn't really believe it.

Before Erik could lean in for what I was guessing a kiss, I spoke "I'm really tired, I'll talk to you later"

I used a little force to move Erik's arm out of my way and wait straight to Heath.

His bed was empty.

"Aaron, where's Heath?" I asked.

"No idea"

I walked out the room and had a little think to where he could be.

My mind went blank.

Again, my phone rang.

"What do you want?" I had no paitence.

"Well excuse me for trying to be a good frienemy to you and knowing more about you and your boyfriends and where they could be for example Erik's in his classroom and the other one has gone walk abouts and its probably all your fault? Well I was just trying to be nice for once but since you can't be a little bit nicer to me...-" I started to doze away from her conversation, wow she speaks way too much at a fast pace.

"Wait! Go back! Where's Heath?"

"He's gone"
