True Loving

Chapter 8

After leaving the vampire girl in the hall I went to my class. I was really late, but the teacher just ignored me. The rest of the day went by in a haze. I was in a terrible mood and just wanted the day to be over-before I killed someone. When the last bell finally went off I wanted to yell at the top of my lungs, freedom! And run for the hills or this case my car.

I got out the front door and could see the car it was almost in my grasp, I wanted to sprint to it, to just get away from here. Urg I really hate school. I started walking faster. I noticed how everyone around me were huddled in groups talking and saying goodbye not even in a hurry to get away. I focused on the car again and walked even faster, but then someone grabbed my arm and tugged me back. This person will be loosing an arm in seconds.

I got turned around to see TJ. I took a deep breath to calm myself, because I needed him and well there are a lot of people around us who would witness me ripping his arm off.

I could kill all of them too, create a town m******e and kidnap the four guys my dad want, but that would take a lot of work and would be difficult for only me to do. And my sisters won't go against our dads orders. I think the pissed look on my face scared TJ a bit.

He smiled at me, tugging my hair behind my ear.

"Hi babe, I missed you today. I hardly got to see you at all." He was trying to sweeten me up for something, I could tell that, by only looking at him.

"Yeah I know, I was kinda busy, and I'm tired now and just want to get home."

"Well okay I'll make it fast. There is a party tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?"

"But it's Monday and there is school tomorrow."

"Yeah but there is never a good enough excuse to not party a bit." I can screw with his mind, but he'll always be a man. Men are born already programmed: alcohol, girls, cars and party.

Okay maybe not all of the men, but most of them, anyways.

"Come on babe everyone is going!"

"And by everyone you mean?"

"The whole football team, the cheerleaders, your sisters and all the people who are in our crowd." Yes our group the self centred bunch. But this could be a wonderful time to play with Ethan and Ian.

"Okay sure Baby, I'll be there just because you asked me." I looked at him through my lashes and gave him a teasing smile. I got on my tip toes. I was a few inches away from his lips.

"Well I have to go." I whispered letting my breath caress his lips. I turned and tried walking away. He grabbed me around my waist and pulled me back against him. He brought his lips down against my neck.

"That wasn't nice, you are driving me crazy." I got goosebumps all over my body from his breath on my neck. I turned around in his arms.

"You need to earn it." I said boldly.

"Oh really or I could just do this." He held me tighter. And kissed me, I stayed strong and didn't kiss him back. He bit my lip and when I gasped he deepened the kiss. I was pressed against him. This was nice being kissed in front of everyone not needing to hide away like with Ethan.  I pulled away and started walking to the car making it there this time. Only to see my sisters talking with their boyfriends.

'Make it quick I want to get home.' I send to my sisters. They kissed them goodbye and got in the car. We took of.

"You are in a fantastic mood." Veronica said sarcastically.

"I just want to get home, and sleep a little before I have to get ready for the party."

I'm a real teen girl full of mood swings and sometimes I think I drive my sisters crazy. Veronica has always tried playing mum with us. I love her for it. Everyone needs someone to talk to, someone to help them through the puberty years, she didn't have anyone.

I've always felt so bad for her. She was the oldest and had so much responsibility just placed on her. Both Seriena and I turned to her with teary eyes and fears. Then when our dad showed up he should have helped and made everything better. We we're his little girls we looked up to him and he just shut down, leaving us without a father too. Veronica had to grow up super fast. And I was thrown into training and becoming the girl who was destined to take over.

He threw them to the side. I could feel the tears silently rolling down my cheek. We stopped at the house and I rushed up to my room. I couldn't let my sisters see me like this.

I fell on my bed and let the tears ruin my pillow. I drifted of when I didn't have any more tears left.

"Oh Analize I'm so disappointed in you." I was in my dad's office. His hand pulling through his hair as he was shaking his head letting his black hair fall over his forehead.

"What now?" I rolled my eyes. The door behind me creaked as it open, so I looked over my shoulder and saw Drake walking in.

"You are acting so human, you have become weak, hesitant and unreliable. Crying about stupid little things from the past. I'm warning you, you better fest up and stop this weakness that is growing inside you."

"And as for that no good human you are dragging along, you better get rid of him or I will." He sneered at me.

"Father it's thanks to him that Ian wants to commit to me, and why Ethan is acting jealous."

"Yes, but it is unnecessary for you to be with him it makes me sick the way he touches you." Drake said.

"Who asked you for your input in this discussion and for your information, I enjoy it." I said to pester him.

"Analize!" My father gasped

"Analize!" Drake hissed.

"Can I get back to sleep now or are you going to keep me from my beauty sleep." My father sighed and let me fall back to sleep. When I woke up I felt so much better. I just needed a bit rest this weekend was a busy one.

"So did you sleep well princes?" I looked at my window and saw the vampire chick sitting on the window sole smiling at me.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She smiled at me. Once again what the hell usually when you threaten to kill someone they don't come your way unless they have some sort of a death wish.

"Well I thought that you could maybe use some help while you are here, you know a second hand, another pair of eyes."

"What makes you think that I need any of that or you?"I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Well if I could find out where you lived just by your aura, who knows what else can find you, I know you can protect yourself, but still. And then there is Ethan, TJ and Ian of course."

"Ah of course."

"Yeah think about it if I spotted you Ethan and TJ did too, What makes you think no one else did."

"I took care of Churl."

"Yeah I know everyone thought he died since he hasn't send out any gossip in awhile."

"And you could use a friend princess." She had a point everyone at least had one friend and with her I won't have to hate it so much since she is a vampire.

"What's your name?" I asked her, I could see the smile on her face was genuine.

"Tracey." I nodded.

"Okay Tracey, I'll give you a chance, but you should know I kill when I don't like the outcome." She gulped while nodding.

"So are you going to the party tonight?" I asked her, I saw her hesitating and I could tell she was feeling uncomfortable.

"I wasn't really invited."

"Well I just invited you, I need to show off my bestie don't I and I could use your help keeping tabs on the guys, but TJ is picking me up so you need your own ride and date."

"Uh okay I'll go work on that."

"You do that." She disappeared out the window. I got in the shower, letting the water pour down my body calming me. That's when I got my great idea.

'Seriena I need a dress.' I send her a mind picture and finished my shower.

When I got back into my room I saw the black ripped dress I wore in Ethan's dream on my bed. I got dressed and then curled my hair just like in the dream. Tonight he'll be reminded of his fun dream. I'll tease him good knowing I'll be there with TJ. I did my make-up nothing big just a black smoky eye, eyeliner and mascara. I just finished when I heard the doorbell. I looked in the mirror and sighed. I hate this feeling, the feeling like nothing is going right, my curls weren't at their bounciest and my make-up took forever to get right. I walked out of my room and down the stairs. TJ was sitting on the couch with Jake and Allan, waiting for my sisters and me.

I walked in their line of sight and I swear TJ almost choked on his own saliva, that was good because I felt so self conscious tonight. TJ got up and gave me a quick kiss just before my sisters stepped into the room. Seriena was wearing a dark blue dress and Veronica a vibrant red one. By the looks on the guys faces I think it was safe to say we looked hot.

"Well I was thinking we could all go together. I'm here with my jeep and we'd all be able to get in." TJ offered.

"I think it's a great idea Baby." I interjected and everyone nodded. We arrived at the party when it was already going on full blast. The front door was wide open, since people kept coming and going. We got out of the car,  the guys joined us. Jake and Seriena were holding hands. I have to admit that they looked in love. Allan had his arm around Veronica's shoulders. It actually looked like he was drunk. Veronica gave him enough affection for him to want more, but I could see that she really hated him. TJ threw his arm around my back, holding me by my side, this was a classic move I recognized from when I was with Drake. Holding a girl like this tight to your side said: she is mine and I'm not willing to share, back the hell of. I shook my head, but kept quiet. We walked into the house. The music was loud and you could hardly hear anything other than it. Everywhere you looked were empty bottles and red cups. I took a look around the room and saw people just sitting around listening to the music and whispering in each others ears. TJ pulled me to the next room, where the music was louder and everyone was dancing. This room had a sliding door that lead outside. From where I stood I could see some guys playing drinking games and some girls offering body shots. I looked around again and saw Tracey walking in with some guy. I pulled free from TJ's hold and started walking over to her, I saw Ethan coming from the direction I was going, as we passed each other I made our hands grace. He looked at me and I gave him an encouraging smile. I kept on walking until I got to Tracey, giving her a big hug and smile.

"Okay lets talk, but smile and laugh like we are the best of friends gossiping." She nodded. We walked a bit out of earshot.

"Ethan is staring at you." I turned and looked at him. He was frowning he remembers me like this, but not from where. So I needed to help him remember. I sent the memory of the dream to him.

Dream flashback

"You have been a real naughty boy, Ethan." I placed my hand on his naked chest.

"Really, really naughty." I trailed my nails down his six pack and back up. His muscles pulled tight under my touch. I looked up at his eyes biting my bottom lip. He smiled at me, he tried to grab my hips to pull me closer to him but I slapped it away.

"No you were mean to me remember, I'm desperate." I took a step back and flipped my hair over my shoulder and placed my hands on my hips. It showed off all of my curves.

"I..." Yeah he doesn't have an excuse.

"Just think how much fun we could have had. The way your hands could have roamed over my body how I could have kissed your lips with my body tight against yours..."

"You know I didn't mean it Babe." He grabbed me and pulled me against him. His lips crashed against mine. My arms went around his neck, my hands pulling at his hair.

He bend down and kissed my neck. I pushed him away.

"Tisk, tisk, tisk. Bad boys don't get gifts." I turned and walked away swaying my hips again. Before I left I send him a kiss over my shoulder.

"Be good!"

End of dream

He looked shocked after remembering, I saw him reaching for something strong to drink.

He downed what ever was in the cup.

"Okay so I need you to keep an eye on Ian, since I can't see him anywhere and TJ is keeping a close eye on me."

"Yeah I heard Ian was here and that Jasmine was following him around like a desperate lost puppy."

"Urg I hate that girl she is a problem, new idea find her and keep your eyes on her." I told Tracey who's face pulled up in displeasure.

"Can't I just eat her?" Tracey exclaimed. I frowned.

"Its sounds better than saying can I drain her." I burst out laughing.

"No find her and come and get me, same with Ian. I'm going to have some fun screwing with Ethan." She rolled her eyes and left. I started going back to TJ, but first I bumped right into Ethan. He caught me before I fell to the ground. When he steadied us I whispered in his ear

"Be good." The same words from the dream. After that I left. I could feel his eyes following me so... I walked up to TJ and kissed him, stopping whatever conversation he was in.

"Let's dance." He was shocked and you could see how his ego was boosted by all the stares his friends were giving us.

As I turned to walk to the dance floor. My eyes met Ethan's so I did the rational thing and winked at him. I danced with TJ, my eyes not leaving Ethan's for a second. Sure the dance floor was full of teens grinding against each other and it should have been a turn on, but messing with Ethan meant so much more to me. TJ grabbed my hips and turned me around so I was facing him. I guess he noticed Ethan staring. He kissed me while swaying us to the music. When I got to turn again I saw a slut trying to get Ethan's attention. She was kissing his neck her hands on his chest.  I felt an urge to kill her, but I'm going to play fair, human style. When the song ended TJ dragged me back to his friends. I got a Text shortly after.

Nice moves, but your body would be much more fitting against mine -E

I texted back

Nice slut she is undressing you as we speak  -A

Meet me somewhere! -E

Can't I'm TJ's date -A

The texts stopped after that. TJ made sure he held on to me in one way or another, for a guy to be so insecure that he has to hold on to me so no one else had a chance. I saw Tracey waving at me. I let go of TJ's hand well I ripped my hand out of his.

"Where are you going?" He whispered against my neck after he had grabbed me by the waist.

This really is Drake all over again.

"I'm going to talk to Tracey."

"The freak? Why?"

"Because she is my friend, now let go." I was pissed and he could hear it so he let me go.

"Hey so?" I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Well I took care of Jasmine, she just pissed me off so much that I lost it." I burst out laughing, I actually liked this girl. She has a no bullshit attitude.  Between laughs I asked.

"What did you do to her?"

"Let's just say she is going to have a massive headache when she decides to wake up."

"Well I bet she deserved it, and what about Ian?"

"He's way at the back outside as drunk as a skunk." I sighed.

"Okay wait here I'm just going to tell TJ that I'm going to hang out with you for awhile." She nodded, but I felt her hesitation again. I walked back to TJ. Come to think of this, I'm not even enjoying this party. All I'm doing is working on the mission.

"TJ I'm going to go and hang out with Tracey."

"No I don't want you too, I want you to stay here with me." He had my wrist in his hand holding me there, insecure bastard.

"TJ let go I'm not your possession, you can't put me on a shelf like one of your trophies." I ripped my arm out of his hold and stormed back to Tracey.

"Lead the way." We started walking through the house past different rooms. We were way at the back of the house when I got pulled into a dark room. Tracey jumped into action and had the lights on and Ethan by the throat against the wall in seconds.

"Trace let go!" I yelled and she let him breath again.

"Wow miss freak has some strength."

"Shut up Ethan, don't talk about my friend like that."

"I didn't know she was your friend." He eyed her suspiciously.

"It's funny how TJ's ex is your friend." I rolled my eyes at him. Then I got an idea.

"Ethan will you do me a favour?" I walked to him placing my hand on his chest, and looked up through my lashes at him.

"Why do I have a feeling that someone's not going to like it." I kissed him.

"You will like it." He looked over me at Tracey. I walked to her handing her my phone whispering in her ear. Then I walked back to Ethan. I went on my tip toes and whispered in his ear.

"I just want one little picture, so I can make a tiny point to TJ." He was having a battle with himself in his mind. I grabbed his head and kissed him with all I had. Tracey was standing close by so I looked directly at the camera. After she took the photo Ethan took over. He swung us around pressing me against the wall. My hands grabbed onto his shirt, my nails digging into his chest. His hands on my lower back holding me to him. Tracey cleared her throat and we pulled away from each other.

"We were going to Mr skunk remember." I nodded and quickly kissed Ethan goodbye.

I send the amazingly hot picture to TJ with the words "I'm not your puppet you can't control me." Tracey laughed at the text. We walked through the kitchen and out the door. I saw Ian lying on the ground. I walked over while Tracey turned back to the house. I sat down next to Ian.

"What are you doing on the ground looking at the stars when the party is inside?"

"I'm searching." He stated simply.

"Searching for?"

"My brother, my grandma always said when someone dies they are the brightest star up there, but my brother has been dead for two years so I figured he'd be duller, but that makes it hard to find him." I looked over at him as he frantically searched the night sky. I laid down in his arm, rapping my one arm around him. I looked up at his face and saw him looking down at me.

"I don't want sympathy from you." He slurred a little.

"I won't give it, only my understanding." He laughed loudly.

"You're smooth, you play me like ... like, oh I don't know a guitar." I giggled, because it sounded funny.

"Analize what are you doing out here when your boyfriend is inside, showing you off to his friends and enemies?"

"I felt you needed me more than that jackass at the moment."

"You said no sympathy." He scowled.

"I'm not giving you sympathy I'm out here because I want to be. And I understand how you feel, when I lost my mom I felt so alone, it felt like a piece of me broke inside. I physically felt a pain, a burning sensation where my heart is." I took a breath.

"I still do every time I think of it, every time I see something that reminds me of her. My dad never talked about it and we weren't allowed to."

"I know what you're feeling Ian I've been there, time and time again, I understand." He took my hand that was over his body with the arm I wasn't laying on.

"Why did you come here? It wasn't because of my brother, because you didn't know about him."

"My friend told me you were drunk outside and alone and I was worried."

"That means you cared."

"Of course I care Ian I'll always care when it comes to you."

"You don't care enough to dump him for me."

"Well I won't worry about that, because I'm thinking after tonight he won't want anything to do with me."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah I did something really bad, now do you drink often?"

"Nah only at parties like these. My mom and dad don't allow alcohol and they gave a photo of me to every place that sells strong alcohol, I know right they are suffocating me."

"My brother died from some kind of infection caused by his kidney's that stopped working from alcohol abuse after he lost his 17 year old girlfriend that was expecting his baby when he was 18."

"After he died we moved here, where no one knew about it, until TJ found out and he told Churl who send it to everyone."

"Why didn't TJ tell you?" He asked searching my face for an answer.

"I told him I didn't want to know, I don't like gossip, the person has to tell me themselves."

"You're so different, you don't care about gossip, you don't share a lot and you are friends with Tracey." He was slurring all the more now and not really making sense, I think he was getting tired.

'Trace come and help me with Ian.' She was there in seconds.

"Did you just do what I think you did?"

"Yes, Ian did you come here in a car?"

"Yes my car is outside." We held him up and walked to his car. We drove to his house with him sleeping on the backseat of the car.

"Okay Trace I need you to get him in his room without waking him and without letting his parents hear you." She nodded. We walked back to my house after that. I wasn't in the mood to go back to the party and we didn't really think about transport back. When we got home I send my sisters a mind messages explaining everything to them. I fell on my bed. Just relaxing and going through my text's.

What the hell Analize!! You cheated and texted me the prove!

Where are you ?

Are you still with Ethan?

Who took the picture it was Tracey wasn't it, she wants to come between us babe.

Okay I just saw Tracey, so you weren't with her

Are you with Ethan?

Come on Babe I'm sorry I don't know what came over me, I'm not usually like that

We can still make this work, I saw Ethan and I know you aren't with him where are you? I want to explain to you and tell you how sorry I am

Okay I get it you need time to forgive me we'll talk later.

And his later was 10 minutes after his last text because then he started calling me,  I have 20 missed calls from him.

Babe I'm worried are you okay, just let me know anything I just need to know that you are safe.

That was his last text so I send him one back.

.

That's all he only needed prove right.

"I like your style princess, I thought you would be all stuck up and have daddy do everything for you."

"Nah I like handling things and when it comes to playing games you can always count me in."

"Well I guess I should go."

"No, why don't you stay we can have a sleepover. I've never really had one."

"Ah okay yeah sure." I got myself some PJ’s and threw a pair to her.

"So tell me the story of how you became a vampire?"
