A/N: Again, many; many thanks for your beautiful reviews, I love them. I must warn you now my internet at home is currently down, (story of my life or what) so my updates might be pretty hectic. I will try to keep them as consistent as possible but sometimes technology can be such a bloody nuisance. I'd like to say thanks a bunch to my fantastic beta/best friend Jessie for her opinions and for teaching how to create authors notes (yes, I was that confused) I thought there was a little box you clicked and they would pop up….. I was wrong. Ideas, Theories, criticism, comments and above all reviews are both welcomed and appreciated. Read on and if I don't get a chance to update before Christmas. I wish you all a merry and pleasant Christmas filled Laughter, joy and lots of sugar . Now Lovely's read on…
The awkwardness grew as we drove home in tense silence. I could practically hear their thoughts. And all of them were screaming 'Why is she smiling like that' or possibly 'Lucky knows how to smile?'
Oh if only they knew, I had hit the gold mine. But I couldn't tell a soul; especially Hunter. If she knew I had Quinn's number she would freak. Hunter had taken the Drakes sudden departure better than I had but it'd still hurt her. She told me that Quinn had actually broken up with her the night before they left, but didn't tell her why only that they couldn't work anymore. She says she moved on but I hear her sobs late at night, sometimes I wonder if I should tell her that I know she still cries but I instantly decide against it when I see her in the morning. Besides I'd be absolutely miserable if I had someone come up to me a said that my sorrows had kept them up the night before.
The tension was becoming to much. With an exasperated sigh i began distributing the burgers to everyone trying very hard to hide the blatant phone number inked onto my hand, unfortunately nothing could get past Alices keen eye.
"who's number is that on your hand?" snapping my hand back, i blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "what number?" Smooth or what. "the number on you hand" Alice replied leaning over my shoulder to get a better look. I sat on my hand. Which of course intregued her more. The only way i was going to escape Alices game of a million questions was to Lie. Convincingly.
"Alright" I sigh trying not to smile at Alices triumphant smirk " There was a cute guy in the resteraunt and he gave me his number."
Alice giggled, Pleased that my lie would sustain her need for answers and gossip i opened my burger and took a large satisfying bite. Nothing better than a lie and a cheeze burger after vampire hunting. The thought of my bed awaiting me in our two roomed apartment sent a jolt of excitment through my stomach. But a Phantom ache stopped me from rejoicing.
The thought of lying alone in bed was fantastic except for the alone part. I was alone to my thoughts, alone to hunters tears and Alone to the throbbing of my shredded heart.
Of course though as we pulled into our small garage and headed to our tiny home, the others were oblivious to my inner turmoil. And so i went to bed alone.
