He's Just My Everything

The Nurse

~Ethan's P.O.V.~

I carried Erica though the hall, trying to keep a human pace. Her head was bleeding... it was on my fingers, trickling down to my knuckles and dripping, dripping down into the floor. My fangs were dropped in the bloodlust and I felt my eyesight getting stronger every drop. My eyes were glowing. I was hungry. Then, another form of lust came over me as she moaned in pain, gripping her head. Her moan, was, oh...

No. I can't. Not her. Not Erica.

I was there, at the nurse's office. I hesitated, hearing no heartbeat. Was she in there? It's so hard to tell. But I heard her uneeded breath, her humming. Oh, I wanted to drain Erica so bad, but instead pushed open the door. The nurse looked up, startled. She smiled sweetly. Then saw my eyes and looked understandingly toward me.

"Can I help you?"

"Erica. Her head's bleeding."

"Why are you carrying her?" Because I want to. Because I like her a lot. Because she let me.

"Because she can't... she doesn't have balence."

"Hey." She mumbled, offended.

"I mean, she hit her head really hard. I think she might have a concussion."

"I'll be the judge of that." She said sternly. She swiped her hand toward the bed, so I sat her down. I didn't know what was going on though her head, but I took her glasses off. She can't see this. She can't see me like this. Not yet. She looked confused.

"Why you do tha'?"

"Shh..." I said, stroking her hair. Then I pulled away and saw the blood on my hand. I panicked and looked at the nurse. Her face grave, she handed me a towel and whispered, "I think you should wait in the hall. You're not fed enough to be around her."

"No." I said sternly. "I wanna stay. How do you to it?"

She smiled sweetly at me. "Practice. But you, my good Ethan, need that. She's bleeding. You might bite her."

I sighed, and after a staredown with her, I looked away and went in the hall.

I stayed close and listened though the door. Not much was said. Plus, I couldn't concentrate. I put my head inbetween my knees, trying to put my fangs away, to control my eyes. To control myself.

"OW!" I heard suddenly. I jumped up and opened the door, to see Erica holding her head, sitting up, glasses on, and Mrs. Velma pouring something on the wound.

"It's alright, Miss. Jones. I have to disinfect your head." Erica whimpered, but nodded. Mrs. Velma looked at me sternly, and I walked out, returning to the wall. Finally, Erica walked out, stumbling, but walking. I put my arm around her waist as she stumbled once more, and turned to look at the nurse peeking though the door. She handed me two slips of paper.

"Take her home. Make sure she rests, and give her two of these tonight, and in the morning. So, I'll see you tomorrow. Erica stays home. It's on the sheet. But you have to come to school, Ethan. Good day." She left. I sighed and looked and Erica, who was smiling dopily at me.

"You know, you're really kinda pretty." She mumbled. I cracked a smile.

"So are you, Erica. I just can't tell you yet." She smiled more, before looking away and stumbling toward the door, which I closely followed, afraid she'll fall. She was looking back at me repeatedly, fluttering her eye lashes and smiling flirtily. I couldn't help but be startled at this behavior. She continued toward her house, still being weird with me.

It was when we were almost home that she turned toward me. I froze. She pressed against me, her hands on my chest, as well as her cheek.

Right against my unbeating heart.

I tried to push her away, trying to push her away from my secrets. But she had me weak.

"Erica, what are you doing?" I finally asked. She looked up, still staying close enough I felt her lips brushing my chin. I kept my head up, keeping her from what could kill her.

"You're always teasing me. It's my turn." Her lips trailed across my jaw. I couldn't stop the way my knees buckled. I held myself up by pressing myself against the wall behind me. This helped Erica, unfortunately. She pressed against me once again and kissed me. On the lips. With her own. And I did the only thing a vampire could do.

Give in.

We kissed a while, me pulling her closer by her hips, her hands running though my hair. She was so rough with me, while I was trying not to be. She was so seducing. So mesmerizing. I had finally come to the concusion that I was gonna hurt her when my eyes started glowing. I pulled my hands away and tipped my head up.

"Erica, enough. Please." She seemed to have went limp, falling to the ground. I caught her. She was unconscious. I sighed and kissed her forehead, carrying her home.

~Erica's P.O.V.~

When I woke up, I was on my porch. Laying on it. But I had a pillow. When I looked up, I saw my head resting on Ethan's lap. I blushed furiously when he smiled at me.

"About time you woke up."

"Why are we still outside?" He hesitated.

"Well, I don't know where you keep the key. And I didn't want to go though your stuff." He smiled sheepishly. I narrowed my eyes, trying to remember what happened. I got small flashes...

Flirting...

Hugging...

Kissing...

Wait, I kissed Ethan!?

Wait again.

Hugging Ethan.

There was no heartbeat.

He didn't go though the door, when the keys are right there in my pocket.

No.

I handed him the keys as I sat up, then he also got up and unlocked the door. It swung open slowly, and Ethan just stood there, staring forward. Then he looked at me, smiling.

"Ladies' first." No. This is one thing I learned from him. Vampires need invited in. I smiled sweetly.

"No, go ahead. I need to water the flowers. Check on Cheeseburger?" I turned away and pretended to look for the watering can.

"I'll come with you." He said quickly, closing the door and following me. I turned around, almost bumping into him. My eyes narrowed, I reached for his chest. He took a step back.

"Ethan, go inside." He looked so desperate.

"Is that in invitation?" He asked quietly. I felt tears swell in my eyes.

"You're a vampire, aren't you?" I whispered. He looked ashamed. "How could you do this to me?" He seemed to be struggling with his words.

"Erica, I was gonna tell you. You needed a friend, and I wanted to be that friend. One you can count on. And you didn't turn me away. I controlled myself for you." Ethan whimpered. I swallowed, looking away toward the door, then ran to it. I sprinted with everything I had, wishing I was just a bit more in shape. He stayed were he was until I was there, before he flashed over to me. I squealed and launched myself though the door.

"Erica, you can concider me as dangerous as you thought I was before you knew." He spoke softly, but I knew he wasn't as calm as he sounds.

"No, I can't." I whispered.

"Erica, vampires won't hurt you. At least, this vampire." I thought of Jesse, then tried not to puke.

"No, I can't." I repeated. "I won't ever talk to another vampire. I vowed that last time." He looked confused, but I ignored him. "I'm sorry." I started closing the door.

"Me too." I heard him say before I locked it. I stumbled over to the kitchen and got out a packet of hot cocoa. I fixed it in the microwave, thinking things over. Then flipping them over to what bad could come from Ethan.

No. That's exactly what I thought about Jesse. What could go wrong? I shook my head and fed Cheeseburger. I jumped when the microwave beeped. With it hot in my hands, I went to the door and gasped. Ethan was sitting on the porch, head in hands. I went into the kitchen.

"What the Hell am I doing!?" I asked myself aloud before fixing another cup of cocoa. Both cups in hand, I went to the door, and, putting one in my armpit, opened the door. He didn't move, but did tence up.

I closed the door behind me and stood, afraid to move.

"May I apologize?" I whispered.

"No." He said. "May I?"

"No." I sat next to him and handed the cup to him. He looked up at me with a smile.

The most charming smile that showed much joy, his eyes were closed. I copyed him, knowing Jesse could never, ever smile in such a way.

And I wasn't the least bit scared to close my eyes. He would keep me safe, not keep me from being safe.

Right?

This concludes chapter five. I would have put this up earlier, but I lost my Flashdrive. I found it, though.~TrampledRose
