Ross's POV
I ran up to my room and went digging through my old things. I found an old rifle, some old pictures, my mom's old jewelry box, my father's old hat (it was his favorite... I wasn't letting it go), and some old magical stuff that my parents had collected when I was still mortal... I had never believed in magic or any of the supernatural until I had met Rodney. I couldn't find anything that would help Hayley. S***! I thought, wasn't there some dream protector? I could swear there was one here! I felt a slight wind blow pas the back of my neck "What's that stuff?" came Hayley's curious voice. I smiled and turned to her.
"Some old things I've had for a lloonngg time now" I answered.
"Cool! *points to jewelry box* What's that?"
"My mom's old jewelry box"
"Oh... sorry Ross"
"Nah, don't be..." I stood up "If none of that had happened" I took her hands "I would have never met you" she smiled at me.
"That istrue"
"Isn't it?"
"Hey Ross?"
"Yeah?"
"Why hadn't you wanted to be a vampire?"
"Because I didn't really like the thought of living forever... having to watch everyone you know and love die, just to meet more people and have them go too"
"Wow... I never thought about that...and to think, when I was younger, I would alwaystalk to my younger cousin Izzy about how coolit would be to be a vampire"
"She ever believe you?"
"Not really... she thought fairies were cooler"
"Well, I have to admit, being a fairy would be waycooler then being a vampire"
"I disagree"
"Why so?"
"Because... I think vampires are way sexier"
"Really?"
"Totally"
"Well aren't I getting lucky these past few days?"
"Well-"
"Don't say it"
"I won't"
"You're thinking it, aren't you?"
"Maybe"
"Oh my God"
Hayley looped her arms around my neck and pulled me over, right above her face. "'Oh my God' as is I'm crazy, or 'Oh my God' as in just kiss me already?" she asked, her eyes sparking.
"Ah, a little bit of both... more so the second one" I answered playfully. I leaned forward to kiss her when she flashed over behind me, luckily I didn't stumble this time. "Gonna have to catch me if you think I'm so crazy" she taunted, and then I was behind her and locked her in an over the shoulder hug.
"You're no the hard to catch" I taunted right back.
"Then how come it took you 20 minuets the other day?"
"I let you"
"Did not"
"Did too"
"Did not"
"Did too"
"Did not"
"Did too"
"Did not"
"Did too"
"Oh, just shut up and kiss me" she said, managing to slip herself around to face me. I leaned over and she looped her arms back around my neck. Eventually, I just felt her go limp. I immediately pulled back and looked at her, worried out of my f***ing mind right now. "Hayley?" I said kneeling down and laying her on the floor gently. "Hayley, are you okay? Hayley? Hayley? HAYLEY?!"
