CHAPTER 7

Hey guys! I'm really really really sorry for not updating! I have been super busy. But I am BACK!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the plot.

ENJOY!

The day went by fast. Jack kept hitting on me. How did this guy just come in and change my life? It's so cliché… I was at my locker and about to go home when I felt a presence behind me. "What, Jack?" I asked. "I'll pick you up at 6:30. Wear something nice, but comfortable." I rolled my eyes. "Fine." I huffed. "Where are you taking me, anyway?" I asked. "It's a surprise. "Great. Now your scaring me." I said. He chuckled.

"Need a ride home?" He asked. "No." I replied. Suddenly I was picked up by the waist and slung over someone's shoulder. "JACK! PUT ME DOWN!" I shouted as he walked to the parking lot. "Nope." He said. He got to the car and opened the door. He dropped me in the passenger seat, closed the door, walked to the other side of the car, and got in. "I'm driving you home." He stated. "Thank you caption obvious. I couldn't tell by the way you kidnapped me to your car!" I yelled. He just chuckled.

Jack started the engine and drove to my house. "Who do you stay with?" He asked. "My aunt Ella. But she is always on business trips for work. I don't blame her. She has a teenager and a toddler to support at only twenty-five. She isn't even married! She does have a boyfriend though. His name is David. He is really nice. But seriously. My aunt went from having to support herself, to having to look after me and my sister. And my sister has cancer. It's really hard work. She is on a business trip right now. She won't be home for four more days and my sister is at our grandparent's house. So I'm home alone for the time being." I told him.

"Well if your home alone, I'm certainly not going to leave. I'm staying the night." He stated. "What?! No! I will be just fine! You are NOT staying the night." I said. "Too bad. I'm staying over after our date. No buts. I need to make sure that you are safe." I rolled my eyes. "I'm always safe. Don't worry about me. I have been staying home since my parents died. I'm use to it." I said. "I don't care. I want to spend time with you." He stated. "Fine. There is obviously no competing with you." I rolled my eyes.

"Good." The car suddenly stopped. "Remember. 6:30." He said. "Ok." I said while rolling my eyes. I walked to the front door and got my keys out. I unlocked it and walked in. I put my bag down near the couch and walked into the kitchen. I passed time by doing boring things like eating a snack, watching TV, reading magazines. It was 5:30 already and I decided to get ready for my date with Jack. I walked into the bathroom and took a shower. I then walked into my closet with a towel wrapped around me. I looked through my clothes. Then I found it. The perfect outfit. I took it and put it on. It was a white netted sundress with white flowers on it paired with a white cardigan. I put on golden sandals and straightened my hair. I pinned my bangs back with a golden colored barrette that matched my heels. I looked in the mirror. Perfect.

By the time I was done, it was 6:15 PM. So I still had fifteen more minutes until Jack came to pick me up. I plopped myself in front of the TV and turned it on. I wasn't even watching TV as I was thinking of what has happened in the past few weeks. It has been three weeks since my parents have passed, I was a mess for a week and then this new guy comes along and just changed my life. He put me back on track. In only two freaking weeks! And the biggest surprise is, the guy is a fucking vampire! He says he is my fucking soul mate. And you know what is worse? It's true.

Jack was my soul mate. Whenever he is next to me, I just feel happier. When he touches me, even the slightest bit like poking me, I feel sparks shoot up and down my body. I just can't help but believe that Jack was my soul mate. I was cut off my thoughts when the bell rang. I looked at the time. 6:30. Sharp. Good boy, Jackson. I walked up to the door and opened it.

I gave Jack a small smile as I let him in. Once I closed the door, I turned around to see him staring at me. "What?" I asked as I looked down at myself. Was there a flaw in my appearance? "You look beautiful." He said. I blushed a deep pink and grabbed my golden colored cross-body bag. "Let's go." I said. "Ok." He said as we walked out the doorway. I closed it and locked it. We walked to his car and got in. "Where are we going?" I asked. "It's a surprise." He said. The engine started and he drove off.

"Kim, I want you to meet my family." Jack suddenly said. "Y-your family? What are they like? Where do they live? Do you have siblings? Would they like me?" I shot questions at him, scared at the thought of meeting his family. "I have three big brothers. Jason, Dylan and Tristan. Jason is eighteen, Dylan is nineteen and Tristan is twenty-one. Our house is deep in the forest. It is not very hard to get to because there is an open path that leads right to it. Our parents adopted all of us because vampires can't have children. The only way a vampire can have a baby is to have it with a human. My family would love you Kim. They just want me to be happy. If you are capable of doing that, that they will automatically love you. Don't worry." Said jack.

I nodded. The car halted and we came to a stop in front of the forest. "Wait are we meeting your parents? NOW?!" I asked, panicked as I was not prepared. Jack chuckled. "No. But the place I am taking you to is in the forest. Follow me. Jack led me through some trees and we came to a small path. He led me to the path and we came to many big trees with vines hanging down from them, covering everything behind them. He led me to the middle two trees and opened the vines. I walked in and gasped. My jaw dropped. It's so beautiful! There was a small beach like clearing. It was very small and was pretty private.

There was a river on the other side of the beach. There were trees behind us so nobody could see this wonderful scenery except for us. "Jack… I-I don't know what to say. It's so beautiful! I can't believe places like this actually exist!" He chuckled. "There's more. Come on." He led me to a small blanket with a picnic basket on it. "I hope you are hungry." I nodded in excitement as he chuckled. Jack opened the basket as we begun our first official date.
