Chapter 3 (Allyssa's POV)

I had just gotten home from Derek's when I got a text from Isaac, I know. That's all the text said. About what? I didn't realize I was holding my breath until I got a text back, The bite. And I could smell that you were in the apartment, I'm coming over to talk, be there in five.

I didn't reply knowing he was going to be here soon. I put my hair in a messy bun. I turned on the TV while waiting and Harry Potter was on, so I watched that until Isaac got here. I heard a knock on the door and turned the TV off. I opened the door and he had his back to me.

"You wanted to talk?" I asked, even though it sounded more like a statement. He turned around and he was crying.

"Yeah, can I come in?" I felt a pang of guilt when I saw that he was crying. I moved out of the way of the door and let him in. He slowly stepped over the thresh hold. "I know about the bite, and I want to know why you didn't tell me."

"Well you never really gave me a chance, and I thought you would be upset if you found out. And I didn't want you angry at me."

"And I know you kissed Derek, too."

"Okay, first, he kissed me right after I asked him for the bite. It was a quick kiss and I'm sorry. I like you both; I just don't know who I like more." I didn't mention the fact that I think I might like Scott as well, I mean yeah I thought he was cute but I have never really hung out with him. And, he is still in love with my cousin, Allison.

"I'm guessing Derek told you to do what makes you happy, and I'm telling you the same." I hesitated, scared that the next thing I said could break Isaac's heart.

"How about, we call Derek over here and we can talk about this together? To sort this all out?" He nodded, and I made the call. "Derek says he'll be over in ten minutes." Isaac's face got hard.

There was a knock on the door a couple minutes later and Derek walked in before I even got to the door.

"You guys wanted to talk about our situation." I nodded. "Okay, talk."

"Well, I like you both, a lot! And I want to be with you both but I know I can't. You both make me feel so happy, it's just I don't know what to do and I know you both want me to be happy, but you also both want me to be with you and I know that if I choose one, the other one will get hurt and I don't want either of you hurt because then I would be miserable knowing I caused that misery. And I know you say if I choose the other one, you won't mind as long as I'm happy, but I know you will care and that we won't be friends anymore, and I just wouldn't be able to handle it if one of you hated me." I breathed in heavily. "Okay I'm done your turn to talk Derek." He looked at me and hesitated.

"Okay, earlier Isaac asked me if I was in love with you and I lied and said I didn't know. I do know, and I am, which means that no matter who you choose I could never hate you, never." He finished quickly. I turned to Isaac.

"Okay, I do believe I like you, but I don't know if it is just my way of getting over Erica and losing her. So I think for now, no matter how much I like you and you like me, you should choose Derek, until I know what my true feelings are. And before you get worried, I won't hate you for choosing him. I want you to be happy." I walked over to him and hugged him hard.

"Thank you, Isaac." I looked at Derek. "Are you okay with this?" I asked him. He picked me up and spun me around. I laughed like a school girl. "I'll take that as a yes." He kissed me on the cheek. Isaac smiled a genuine smile. "Derek, what does this make us?" I asked, not wanting to ask if I was his girlfriend.

"This makes us together, as a couple." I smiled at that. God, Derek was gorgeous; and he was all mine! Officially! I just felt bad for Isaac, what if he was lying just to make my decision easier?

"Isaac, we'll still be friends right? And you stay the night and stuff, you can stay in my brothers room when you do?" Isaac nodded, I turned to Derek. "Would that be okay with you?"

"If that is what makes you happy then yes." I smiled and Derek kissed me, then Isaac left, leaving Derek and I alone. We sat down on the couch and I turned on the Xbox and put in Black Ops 2.

"Ready to get your ass kicked again?" I asked jokingly.

"You won't win this time." We sat like that, playing Xbox for hours and by the time we were done it was around 10:45. I kissed Derek on the cheek.

"Wanna stay the night?" I asked with a smile. He kissed me. "Is that a yes?"

"That's a hell yes." I smiled and we went upstairs to my bedroom and I fell asleep in his arms. That night my dreams only consisted of Derek and I.
