I was brought out of my thoughts by the shrill ringing of my cell phone from my bag in Peter's room. I swore under my breath and hurried to find it realizing that I had probably been ignoring texts from my dad Charlie.

I picked up the phone and breathlessly answered "Hello?"

"It's about time you picked up your phone," came my dad's gruff voice from the other end of the line.

"Sorry I've been really busy, but I'm fine though," I tried to assure him.

"Where are you? Have you got somewhere to stay?" My dad asked, still worrying.

"I'm in a motel in Texas, I'm fine dad really, look I've gotta go but I'll call you later."

"You better do," he muttered. "Love you kid."

"Love you too dad, take care." With that I pressed the end button and made my way back out to the living room.

Jasper and Peter were sat on the couch, talking a mile a minute, literally with their vampire speed. Probably catching up on all the years they had been apart. Jasper still looked sad but not as desolate as he had earlier.

They looked up as I walked in and not wanting to disturb them I said, "I'm gonna go take a shower."

Peter nodded giving me instructions to the bathroom and I left quickly to allow them to carry on talking. I stopped by Peter's room to get some fresh clothes and my toiletries.

When I got out of the shower I wrapped myself in a large fluffy towel, and went over to the sink, picking up my toothbrush.

I came out of the bathroom dressed in clean clothes feeling refreshed. It was then that I realized I was hungry, famished actually.

I padded back out to the sitting room, seeing the boys were still in the same spot where I'd left them, and still chatting away. I hated to interrupt them, not that I had to, as my grumbling stomach alerted them to my presence.

"I don't actually have any food in the house." Peter mumble sheepishly.

Well duh, why would you? I thought to myself.

"Fancy a trip to Walmart?" He carried on, "We can stock up."

Jasper didn't enquire as to the reason why Peter would need enough food to last me for a bit so I assumed he had been filled in on the situation.

As Peter stood up he looked at Jasper and said, "You wanna come?"

"Nah," he replied, "I could do with a hunt." It was then that I noticed his eyes had flecks of black starting to appear in the gold.

After Peter parked my car in the parking lot, having refused to let me drive, we got out and grabbed a cart and began to make our way around Walmart.

We filled the cart up, buying everything from fruit to frozen foods, Peter assuring me that he had a fridge and a freezer in his house, no doubt to keep up appearances.

He insisted on paying for it all which made me feel guilty, but I wasn't willing to start an argument with a vampire in the middle of Walmart.

As we had piled the shopping into the trunk of the car, our hands brushed shooting electric shocks through my skin that I didn't understand, I looked up to meet his eyes but he quickly looked away, carrying on packing the shopping away.

I knew he'd felt it but he obviously wasn't willing to talk about it so nothing was said.

Once we'd gotten back to his and packed all the shopping away in his surprisingly well equipped kitchen, I made myself a pizza that I wolfed down so quickly it was a wonder I didn't have indigestion.

I had then started to yawn, which had prompted Peter to insist I go to bed even though it was only nine.

I knew there would be a lot to sort out tomorrow; we still had Victoria to deal with but after all that had happened I couldn't find it in me to worry about her yet.

We'd sort things out tomorrow and worrying about them now wouldn't do me any good, so instead I fell asleep to the thought of Peter's strong arms, and the electric shocks that I could still feel lingering on my skin, a small smile curling on my face.

For the first time in a year I slept through the night without nightmares, screaming or crying.
