Part 8

Linda's P.O.V.

Run Linda, run ordered the voice, he will catch you! I tried to run but something was holding me back. Suddenly I realized that I didn't want to run, not away from him. I loved him. No he is dangerous, said the mysterious voice, but I wasn't listening because I saw him. For that moment there was nothing else but him, his eyes, his lips, his teeth... I understood my mistake! I ran but he was everywhere!
I woke up screaming...Steve came running into my room. “ Oh thank God, you're finally awake” he said in relief. He gave me a big hug and then continued: “We were so worried about you. You were in a coma-like sleep and you didn't wake up. The doc said that he couldn't do anything but wait. It was terrible...the waiting I mean”. “ How long have I been sleeping?” was the only thing I asked. I couldn't bare questioning what happened. I remembered enough but I didn't know what they knew. “ It's been a week! Everyone was so upset...your friends were here almost every day and Jensen never leaves. He actually stays here, in the guest's room.”


Ah! my dear Jensen didn't leave me alone for a moment! The thought warmed me. “ I wanna see him” I told Steve and my cheeks were reddened. He laughed slightly and went downstairs. After a couple of minutes I was hidden in Jensen's embrace. He gave me a kiss in the forehead and told me “ Don't you ever do that to me again”.
He slowly got up and turned his back to me. I hold his hand. “ Don't leave” I said. He was what I needed after all this mess. “ I can't stay, there are others that want to see you awake...but I will come later” he promised. I- unwillingly- let his hand.

The moment he got out, Alicia came in. “ I'm so glad, my love” she cried. “ Shhh! It's all gone” I tried to calm her, “ It's nothing. I'm fine!”

After a while making sure I was okay she left the room. Without knowing what to do or think. Vampires were real. And I understood it twice. Daryl was right Brandon was dangerous. I had to protect them. I didn't know how, though. I wasn't a superhero. The only person who could help me was Daryl and again he wasn't here. “ Hey there!” it was Jensen again. I smiled when I saw him. He managed to make me feel better. That's why I loved him. As a friend always, I think. I was pretty confused about everything lately. “ I'm so glad you are okay.” he sat next to me at the bed. I hugged him again. I don't know why. It's been a long week and I needed someone to make me feel better. I just stayed there for a moment with my face hidden in his shoulder. “ Don't make me this worry again.” he hugged me tighter. “ You know how much I lo-” he stopped before he could say that word “ I care about you.” He loved me?! I mean I had understood it, but it's different to think something from to hear it. So different.

“ I'm sorry.” I whispered.

“ I don't care as long as you okay.” he stopped hugging me, but still kept his face close to mine. Our noses almost touching. “ Please don't get mad at me for what I'm going to do.” he said looking at my lips, then my eyes and again my lips. I knew what was going to happen.

He kissed me...

He put his hands behind my head and kissed me deeply. I didn't do anything. I didn't know what to do. If I kissed him back maybe I would give the wrong idea. Maybe lately I liked him more than a just friend, but I was sure that I was in love with someone else.“ I'm sorry!” he stopped. “ I just wanted you to know how I feel about you.” he sighed shaking his head. “ I'll see you later.”

I didn't have the time to say anything. He left. Even if I had the time I wouldn't be able to say anything. I mean, what could I even tell him? That he was a good kisser? I had to figure out what I felt before I talked to him again. And that wouldn't be easy.

After 2 hours sitting on my bed changing the channels in the small television in my room someone knocked the door. “ Come in!”

“ We thought that you needed some company.” I saw Nicole and Mackenzie standing at the door holding two bags. “We brought ice cream!”

“ I didn't break up you know!” I said jokily. I was happy to see them.

“ Hey everyone loves ice cream!” Mackenzie threw me a red pillow from the sofa next to the door. That's how she always was. Crazy. But we all loved her.

We stayed in front of the TV, watching Twilight. Nicole loved that movie and she made us watch it. I found it really romantic, but if I told her that she would laugh at me. That kind of relationship I was looking for. A one that the both of us would do and give everything for each other. I almost cried when Edward was with Bella in the hospital, the oath of love that he gave her was really romantic and kind of familiar. It was an odd feeling but... I thought that someone had promised me eternal love. However I couldn't remember who or where. “ Hey sleeping beauty? Did you listen a thing from what I said?” asked Mackenzie . “ Sorry” I replied, “ I was daydreaming, I think”

“ Are you in love?” she teased me. “ Is there something what we need to learn?” yes, there is, but what could I tell them? That a vampire bit me, twice? Or that I felt like I knew a guy that I met about 2 weeks ago?

“ Well the-the-re is something.” I stuttered. “ You know Jensen kinda k-kissed me!?”

“ WHAT?!” Mackenzie almost screamed. “ You let us watch this awful movie and didn't tell us?”

“ YEAH FINALLY!... Wait, what's wrong with the movie?” Nicole hit her with a pillow.

“ It's a story for little girls that dream of true love. WE ARE ADULTS!”

“You aren't 18 already and you act like a kid. What are you? 5?”

“ Hey, guys! Sorry to interrupt but I'm the one who got kissed!” I said. “ I need some help here cause I don't know what to do!”

“ What exactly you think you should do? Kiss him of course!” Nicole said like this was the easiest thing to do.

“ But he is my best friend” I replied in a low voice.

“ He didn't act like a friend but as something more. We told you before, he likes you!” said Mackenzie calmly and Nicole added: “ You should give me a chance”

I nodded in agreement. That's what I should do!

After that nobody said a thing. It was pretty late so we decided to sleep. We threw our blankets in the floor and laid down. “ Sweet Dreams!” we said together.

Daryl's P.O.V.

I was outside her window watching her sleep. I've been there long enough to hear that Jensen kissed her and she would probably give him a change. Some hours ago I was ready to leave her. But now I would do anything to win her all over again. I wanted to call her mine. I knew that what we had was true love and it was impossible to forget it.

I couldn't control myself any longer. I wanted her, to feel her lips, to stroke her hair, to hear her heartbeat... I managed to leave my place in her balcony, but I had to get Erin 's advice. I ran back home and I found her sleeping on the couch. I woke her up slightly, trying not to scare her. She opened her eyes and looked at me with relief. “ I thought you wouldn't return. I wish you would.”

“ It's okay! Go to sleep now! We'll talk in the morning.” I said and left for Linda's house. I needed to do one last thing, before I fell asleep. I was there within minutes. I opened her room's window carefully and stepped inside. Thankfully she had left their “hand-made” bed so I wouldn't wake up the others. I carefully approached her bed. I stood there for a moment, admiring her angelic face. She was so calm, that's what had captured me in the first place. She was different from everybody else I knew. I stepped closer and I leaned above her face. I kissed her. The moment that our lips touched, I was unable to stop myself. A new kind of hunger grew inside me. I wanted more of her, her touch, her face, everything. I forced myself to get away from her before I would woke her up. It was hard, but I managed to do it.

Linda's P.O.V.

I suddenly woke up. I saw a dream. A really weird dream. But if it was just a dream why did I have the sense of his lips on mine? Why was I thinking such things? I shouldn't think of him while I decided to date another boy... You are crazy Linda, I told to myself, go to sleep, I ordered and... obeyed. Now the only thing that mattered was Jensen and our relationship!
