"When You Find True Love, Never Let It Go.. Because Who Knows.. It Might Not Come Back..-Unknown"
I stood for a moment, waiting for my que to call his name once more..But it never came, my head was silent. I smiled to myself and began to walk across my room to my door, grasping the handle tightly. I needed something to eat, all of this mind telepathy was making me hungry!
I sure didn't want to see the boys, but then again.. I needed to eat. The sun was setting, and I had stayed in my room all day.. Maybe I can go have snack in the hot tub, relieve my nerves for a while.
And that's exactly what I did.
I dressed in blood-red tank top(Get it, I'm wearing a tank-top, that's red.. Hehe) and a pair of black swimming bottoms. I walked downstairs, went into the kitchen, grabbed a root beer from the fridge and a big bag of salt and vinegar chips from the cup-board and headed to the pool area. Ha! If a nice warm hot tub can't make me feel better, I don't know what will..
I trudged down the hallway, trying my best not to run into anyone on the way to the pool. I wanted to be alone, without disturbances from vampires.. They scare me, plus, I needed a lot of time to just chill out and think.
I was almost to the pool area when I bumped into my poor mother. Her eyes were casted towards the ground, so I literally bumped into her. Sad really.. She looked so upset. Maybe it was because of me..
"It's not because of you.." She began, Her mind reading skills went ignored.. She pulled me into a hug and at first, I flinched at her touch at first, but then began to think.. This is my mother.. She will never hurt me. This is soft-hearted Lucy Emerson we've talking about here!
I wrapped my arms around her, both root beer and chips still grasped into my hands. I felt warm tears graze my eyes as I shut them at once. Feeling my mother's hug brought me back to reality.. She would never let anyone hurt me.. She was my protector. Even if she was now a vampire, something I hated.. She would not hurt me, she loved me.. I could see it in her eyes.
A million thoughts ran through my mind at that exact moment.. I had so many questions to be answered, and maybe this could be my mother, daughter bonding time with my mom.
"Is David really my mate.. Is that real?" The words came tumbling out of my mother uncontrollably. That was one of the biggest questions I wanted to know.
I felt her nod as she gently whispered :'Yes' into my ear, making me shudder slightly. The truth was out.. My mom never lies to me. I knew that every question I wanted to ask her, she would anwser honestly..
Sure she never came out and told me she was a vampire and that they existed, but.. She never lied, something I know she would never be able to do.
"I know vampire exist mom.. David showed me." I sounded so childish, but I didn't care. I needed my mother more than ever now.. I was like the little teenage girl reflected in the mirror.. But right now, I could care less..
"I know." She whispered, on the verge of tears. I felt a single tear escape my eyes as I dropped the plastic bottle to the floor, along with the bag of chips, hugging my mother closer. I felt myself going into sobs in the blink of an eye, but my mother held me close. I forgot about going swimming, I forgot about the beast everyone but sam and I were.. I started to remember what makes a family.
Love.
"Does he love me like Max says he does?" I whispered, remembering the conversation they had while I pretended to be asleep. I knew they wanted me to hear, so I didn't mind telling on myself out for such a thing. Everything they had said that night, I had needed to know.. So.. I don't think mom minded either.
"Yes." She answered. Thats when she started to hug me tighter. I can remember all of those conversations about falling in love with a boy that I sincerely thought was pointless at the time.. But in the end, it wasnt.. And now I understand that.
I understand the lesson my mother was trying to explain to me my whole life..
Love.
I was 13 years old the very first time I had asked my mother about love. It was the night of my very first school dance, and a boy named Richie had asked me to go with him.
When he had walked me home that night, on my doorstep he had kissed me on the lips tenderly, as if I were one of his mother's fine tea cups that could break if dropped.
At that very moment I felt butterflies dance into my stomach, and fireworks explode beneath my eyelids.. I thought that was love.. But it wasn't.. It was a type of love, puppy love, but it sure as hell wasnt true love.
I had smiled as I pecked him on the cheek and walked inside to a smiling Lucy Emerson. Her face was filled with delight as tears grazed her deep set chocolate browns. I had no idea why she was crying.. And smiling.. Everything was so confusing.. I had just had my very first kiss, while my mother was almost in tears.
Thats when she took my hand and sat me down at the kitchen table and we had talked about love.
It was just the two of us that night, just me and mom. Both Sam and Michael had been over to their friend's house, while I had just gotten my first kiss on the front porch in Phoenix. That was an amazing night, I could feel it in the pit of my stomach. It was a beautiful moment, and both my mother and I knew it. She was over protective, but delighted at her daughters first crush. I could remember her very words as she hugged me goodnight.
"I can see by the look in your eyes that you have a crush.. But I can also see that you don't love him. True love is very hard to find missy.. So when you get it.. Hold onto it.. Promise?"
I smiled and hugged her tight.
"Promise."
Right than I had made a promise to my mother that I was bound to keep. When true love comes, don't let it slip through your fingers.. And I defiantly wouldn't let my mate slip through my fingers. We were made for each other, and we both knew it. I loved him and he loved me.. It might take a while to get use to the idea.. But it's always gonna be there..
David.. was always gonna be there..
Authors note: Soo.. Another short chapter, but it fits in the story line, so I put it there. It's all gonna add up for missy and lucys strong bond as mother and daughter.
