I see everyones upset about Sarah's 'intentions'. But, are they really what you think? I'll be the judge of that.

Also, just wanted to clarify: It's a tradition to vampires to give your lover your next meal or two. That's why Jesse sounded so cocky about it. I forgot to mention it.

I do not own MBAV, nor am I getting paid for this.

He's Just My Everything

When Tragedy Strikes

~3rd Person's P.O.V.~

Ethan Morgan stopped playing with his little sister after his confrontation with Rory.

He went to his room and stayed silent all night, turning things over in his mind again and again. Could he? Would he? Should he? Ethan Morgan was at a loss.

Suddenly his alarm went off, and he jumped to the ceiling, eyes almost bulging out of his head. He let it go off for six minutes, trying to calm down.

Jane came in and turned it off.

"Ethan, school. Get off the ceiling." She looked at him worriedly. "Erica will be there."

"Erica..."

"Erica. Yes. She'll be waiting for you to pick her up. And Benny will be coming by soon too." With everyword, Ethan drifted down to the floor. He took a deep breath and stood.

"Thank you, Jane." He whispered, kissing her forehead. "I almost lost it there."

"He can't hurt you unless you let him." She whispered, giving him an encouraging gaze. Ethan shivered and rubbed his arms, suddenly affected by the cold tempoture of the house.

"I know."

"Do you know what you're going to do yet? For Sarah?"

"No."

"Alright."

"I'll see you later, Jane."

"Goodbye."

~Anon. P.O.V.~

It was finally time for school.

I have been waiting all night for this, sitting in the mansion. When time came for the vampires keeping up with life started leaving, I grabbed a gun off of the table in the Dining room and left.

My victim was bound to be there.

~3rd Person's P.O.V.~

Erica Jones woke up from a dreamless sleep, streching her arms and wriggling her toes.

She slipped on her glasses and barely had time to look at the clock before it rang. She jumped a little and sighed in embarrassment. She hit it off and got out of bed, getting ready. She scarfed down breakfast, then barely had time to go outside before Ethan and Benny were by her porch. Ethan seemed distant.

"Good morning, Erica. How'd you sleep?"

"Great, thank you." She said as they started to school. "Can you believe today's the last day of school? Then sweet Winter break!"

He smiled, but his eyes were glazed over. "I know, right?"

"Ethan, please. What's wrong?"

His smile gave way. He looked absolutely insane.

"He has Sarah." He whispered in her ear, so Benny couldn't hear. He thought Benny had enough meltdowns lately.

"He... has Sarah? What do you mean?" She whispered back.

"I'm not sure yet."

"...I guess we'll see, then." Erica said, choking down her panic for the boys' sake. Her hands started shaking, so she put one in her pocket, and held Ethan's tightly with her other.

Suddenly Ethan made a sharp turn into an alley.

"Screw it. Benny, meet you at school."

"O-okay." He started running toward the building, face pale.

He kissed her passionately. The old Erica wouldv'e cringed away, told him that she wasn't ready. But this Erica wasn't scared of the intensity. She was scared of him being taken away from her. Scared that she would be taken away from him. Scared because they were being picked off, one at a time.

She kissed back, hard. She gripped onto his shirt and pulled him closer. She ran her hands down his chest. Before she knew it, his tongue was asking permission inside. Instead of refusing, she opened her mouth eagerly.

His taste was indescribable. It seemed he pulled away too soon.

"We're gonna be late." He said, pulling back. Erica panted with want. Disappointment ran through her body, though she knew it was for the best. She adjusted her glasses. Ethan kissed her forehead lovingly, in that way that made Erica sigh with happiness. "I'm sorry I came on so strong."

"Don't be." Erica said, smiling.

They continued to school.

When they arrived, they immetiately gripped each other's hand. Erica looked around quickly. She gasped quietly when she saw Rory, talking calming to a cross-armed Gwen.

Gwen was upset that Rory never came back lastnight.

"Gwen, I had important, last-minute business. I can't tell you how much I regret being a procrastenater. I promise it will never happen again."

Gwen allowed her lip to wobble. "Rory, I had just gave myself to you." She hissed quietly. "And as soon as it was done, you left. And you didn't come back. Does that tell you anything?" She jabbed a finger on his chest. "In case it wasn't obvious enough, we are over."

She started to stomp away, but Rory stepped in front of her, grabbed her waist, and pulled her against him.

"Wait."

He kissed her hard on the lips. Gwen didn't move, nor react. When he pulled away, he whispered, "Please, let me try again."

Her response: She punched him right under the jaw. He flew into the hallway and knocked down a student.

"Don't ever try something like that again." She growled. Then walked away.

Rory whimpered. "But I love you." He said under his breath.

"Hey, Rory." Ethan said as he stood, rubbing his jaw.

"We just did it before I came to your house." He said, then the words came tumbling, an uncontrollable stream. "I didn't go back, like you told me to. I left her while she was trully being herself with me. Not the Gwen that everyone told her to be. The Gwen she only showed me."

"Ror, I'm s-"

"Don't apologize." He snapped. "It's all your fault. If you hadn't Turned me, I wouldn't have met her."

"What?" Erica said, shocked.

"Better to have never loved, then to love and lose it, right, Rory? Because if you really loved her, you wouldn't feel that way." Ethan said coldly. Rory snarled, eyes flashing.

"Just so you know, I'm a full-blood, now. You did this."

Erica stayed quiet as he stomped away. Not wanting to press the subject, she started to go her locker.

Ethan was at her side instantly, explaining. "I had to Turn him, Erica. He had no venom in his system and the bite was to his jugular. If I didn't, he wo-"

"Ethan, please, I get it. I promise I'm not mad. It's okay. You did the right thing. Rory's making his own choices."

"I know, but..." His eyes drifted. Then his expression was pure terror.

"Oh my God." He barely whispered. Erica shut her locker and looked to the entrance, where all attention was turned to.

Sarah Fox was walking into school, arms linked with... Jesse.

Erica dropped her books.

The two were followed by Aiden and Jasmine, then ones and twos came in afterwards.

She and Ethan were staring at Jesse's face. It had a thin, white scar that ran down from past the hair line to below his collar. As if someone threw water and it left a scar.

And they both knew, it was exactly water that did that. Holy water.

Sarah's eyes showed no fear. Just daring brown orbs. Sarah looked at Erica and she gasped, every instinct in her body telling her to run. But Sarah smiled, said a few words to Jesse, then struted toward the fear-riddled couple. As soon as she was in front of them, her expression showed pure terror.

"Sarah, are you two-" Erica started shakily.

"I couldn't say no." She said, trembling slightly. "He was so convincing. I believed him. He told me he loved me. I'm surprised I healed after all he put me through last night." Her entire form was shaking now. "I can't get away. I'm struck. I'm trapped. Erica, help me."

"Sarah?" Jesse said from behind them all. The three of them tensed.

"I have to go." Sarah walked away, acting like none of that happened.

~Sarah's P.O.V.~

At lunch, I sat with Erica and Ethan, telling Jesse I had to keep the act up for my food.

I sat by Erica, sobbing without tears.

"I'm sorry, Sarah." She said quietly.

"It's not your fault." I whispered. When suddenly there was a plop on my other side. Bubbles, nutmeg, basil...

Benny.

"Hey there, cutie." He said, winking. I stared at him for a second.

"Hi?"

"Saw you hanging out with that Jesse dude. Are you guys dating?" He put on a pouty face that almost pulled me into a better mood.

"I thought you were avoiding me." I said, barely a whisper. His face turned serious.

"That was before I realized you were being forced with the guy that hurt you."

I was taken aback. "How do you know that?"

"Rumors. From the way you act behind his back, I figured they were true."

"I hate him, Benny." I found myself saying under my breath. "I can't be around him one more second. He's hurting me, Benny."

His eyes widened. "What?"

"Nevermind." I couldn't meet his eyes. "Stop flirting with me. It's suicide right now."

"Sorry, but I'll take my chances." Suddenly his lips hit mine, and the world shuddered out of focus. I simply focused on him. Oh, how long I waited for this...

"Excuse me." I flinched so hard I almost bit down on Benny's lip.

"Hello." He said, looking daringly up at him.

"Jesse, if it wasn't obvious enough, I think we're over." I said, a sudden burst of courage manipulating my tongue.

"Over?" He raised his eyebrows. Everyone at my table was baiting their breath. I was suddenly aware of Ethan's absense. A chill went down my back at the thought of being by myself on this.

Then suddenly he nodded. "Okay. Over. But I'll see you at the mansion, right?" His face remained blank, but I knew instantly the Hell I was gonna get for this.

"Of course." I whispered, at the same time Benny said, "We have plans."

"What?" Me and Jesse said together. Benny stood, glaring at him.

"We will be busy." They glared at each other, and I couldn't breathe. Good thing I didn't need to.

Suddenly, Jesse adjusted his jacket. "Watch you're back, bitch. 'Cause I'll be biting it." And he left.

~Anon. P.O.V.~

At last, the final bell rang, indicating school was out. Everyone rushed out, but a few people, as hoped for, lagged behind. Then I followed the four out; Benny, Ethan, Sarah, and her.

After a while, I threw a stone by them, into a bush beside them. For extra effect, it landed on a stick and snapped it. The group stared collectively.

"Stay here." Ethan whispered as he crept toward the bush. I quickly stepped out from my hiding place, pulled out the gun, and aimed. Sarah turned and saw me.

"Jasmine!" Everyone whipped toward me as I pulled the trigger.

~Erica's P.O.V.~

The bullet hit me in the stomach. I cried out and collapsed, blood draining quickly. Everyone spoke at once.

"Erica!" Ethan shouted, running toward me.

"You bitch!" Sarah shreiked.

"Oh my God, Oh my God, oh my God..." Benny said shakily.

"Why?" I croaked as Ethan stopped short by Sarah, who kept her distance.

"You know why." I heard Jasmine say, voice quaking with rage. "You took everything from me! The guy I wanted, my popularity, my best friend!" She controlled herself. "Now, if they don't manage to save you, you will die. And if they do, you will never be the same. Goodbye." And she was gone.

"What can I do? What can I do?" Benny asked repeatedly, hovering over me.

"Nothing." Sarah breathed.

"But-"

"Benny, we either Turn her, or she's dies." Ethan said.

"Ethan, we can't-" Sarah started.

"No, you can't. But I have to try."

"We're not strong enough!"

"I have to be!"

Sarah stayed silent. I was barely concious. But suddenly, fangs peirced my wrist, and my scream peirced the sky.

Muha! This chapter was long! I'm home alone all day, so there might be another update from me today. Review to show attention won'y be in vain! ~TrampledRose
