Okay I have so much in store for this chapter =). Hopefully you like it as much as I liked writing it. Really I think this chapter will leave you sitting at the edge of your seat. Well here is chapter 12.

Chapter 12

When I got home, mom and dad were home. Early. That was the problem. They were having a heated conversation. I don't think they noticed me walk in. Justin wasn't anywhere in the main room so he was probably out or in his room, hiding from something. Then they noticed me. Mom and dad both looked at me. Uh oh was I in trouble?

"Alex, we have to talk. Please sit down." mom motioned towards the chair. It looked like she had tears in her eyes. So did dad. What had I done that was so bad? I mean I was a bad kid but not so bad I made them cry. So I sat down very casually. Then mom dapped her eyes with a tissue.

"Mom, dad what's going on? You're scaring me." my voice came out shaky. My whole body was frozen. I took a deep breath. They both looked at each other. It seemed like they were speaking telepathically. That was a bad sign. Very bad.

"Maxc called us today. He told us he saw you and Justin kissing. We already talked to Justin about this. We immediately came home when Max told us." Dad explained. So that was Max that had seen us. I knew something bad was going to happen. I can't believe he would tell. Everything was falling apart.

"Mom calm down. It was probably Mason." I lied. Mason and Justin look nothing alike but i but if you turned away really quick you could mistake it for him. Mom laughed and shook her head.

"No no it wasn't Mason. I know you and Mason broke up. This is your brother though. Can't you find someone who your not related to hun. PLease." mom pleaded. Obviously she was really upset about this. I would be to I guess.

"I'm sorry mom." was all I said. Then I got up out of my seat, towards my room. That's not where I ended up going though. I ended up in Justin's room. He looked up from his computer. His hair was all ruffly like he had just gotten out of bed.

"Alex, are you ok? I'm surprised Max told. I mean I didn't think he would see us." he blurted. I silently closed the door behind me, locking it. It was true. Max usually made a loud announcement when he was coming down for food. He was almost never quite.

"I know I know. Mom and dad are really freaked out. I don't know what to do anymore Justin." tears welled up in my eyes. Justin came over and wrapped me in his arms. My tears were making his shirt wet. He hold me close, really close. Then he looked at me and kissed me. As much as i loved him, I broke away from him. My parents had somehow found out and now it was risky for us to still be together like this.

"Alex. are you okay? I know what mom and dad said but that doesn't mean you have to stop loving me." he sighed, brushing a piece of hair out of my face. It was true but it felt like I had to. We could never be together anyways. It was a forbidden love.

"I know but it feels like it. Maybe I need some time to cool off." I said. Justin nodded. Then I gave him one last kiss before going to my room. It was dark in my room. Maybe too dark but I didn't care. Life sucked at this point. If there was only someway we could be together. Maybe there was some spell for it. Hopefully a spell that wouldn't screw up.

"Juliet! You're here." a cheerful voice said in the background. Juliet? What was Juliet doing here? Oh no mom did not invite her. This was just great. So all night I had to watch people talk to her and watch Justin be with her. Isn't life just grand? No way was I going out there now. I would probably end up hurting someone. Juliet for example. Even though she is a vampire.

Hours later, I was still locked away in my room being miserable. Mom had come in once to ask if I wanted something to eat. No thanks was what I had said. Now it was ten and I don't think she had left yet. She just loved to hang around here. So when the house suddenly fell silent, that was when I finally thought everyone had gone to bed and she had left. Finally. when I walked into the main room, Justin was sitting on the couch. He looked pretty miserable, too. So I quietly sat down next to him, He didn't even look at me.

"Justin what happened? I know they brought Juliet over. They're trying to brainwash you. Please tell me what's wrong." I pleaded. he didn't even look at me when I talked to him. it was like he was trying to ignore me. Whatever maybe they're brainwashing had worked. Maybe I had lost him forever now.

"Fine. I guess you don't care anymore. they're trying to brainwash you and it's working." I spat and walked away. But he grabbed my waist, turning me around. I fell right on his lap. I didn't break though. He didn't love me.

"Alex, it didn't work. I'm just scared that's all. I'm scared that they'll take you away from me. I don't want that." he whispers and I nod. That's what I'm scared of to. Justin brought me closer to me. His hands rested on my hips. Justin was giving me this look. It was his thinking look.

"Justin what are you thinking of? Hopefully it isn't anything stupid." I asked. Usually I was the one thinking of something stupid but I could tell his idea was reckless. Then he smiled.

"Alex run away with me." it was a plain and simple request. No not even a request, it was more like an order.
