Chapter 33: Chapter Thirty Three

Chapter 11

What could go wrong?

I've realised that I didn't write this story as well as I had thought and wished. It kind of goes up and down and up and down which now that I think about it is quite annoying, which is probably why the chapter's aren't getting as many votes as they used to. Anyways I'm sorry guys that it's not been going that great. It's almost finished, so there's only one chapter left. I hope that you enjoy it and thank you for reading :D

I ran into the house, not bothering to say hello to either Jasmine or Danny before locking myself in my temporary bedroom. Throwing myself onto the bed, I cried again and prayed that I would fall into a black hole. I wasn’t sure how long I was crying for when I began to hear people arguing outside; one of the voices sounding extremely like Stephen.

“I’m going to see her whether she wants to see me or not!” Stephen roared.

“Don’t you dare go near her! You’ve hurt her enough already,” Jasmine screamed.

“Jasmine calm down. I really don’t think that stressing out is great for you right now,” Danny insisted.

“Don’t tell me to calm down. This bastard thinks that he can just run into our home after breaking my best friend’s heart for the second time!” Jasmine defended. As much as I wanted to run in to defend myself, I couldn’t pull myself out of the bed and just wanted to be alone.

“Don’t you dare call my Stephen a bastard!” Another woman interfered causing me to sit up straight. Had he brought his other woman to our house? How dare he?!

“Who the hell is she?” Danny questioned, this time sounding as angry as Jasmine.

“That’s what I need to explain to Melanie. She’s got the wrong idea,” Stephen stated.

“Don’t touch her!” He yelled after.

“I’ll touch the hoe that you chose over my best friend as much as I want. This is after all my house!” Jasmine fought.

“Jasmine stop! Stephen where are you going?” Danny shouted after everyone.

“Melanie open the door!” Stephen growled, slamming his fist repeatedly on my bedroom door scaring me.

“Go away! I don’t want to see you!” I cried, unaware that I was actually still crying.

“Melanie please don’t cry. Let me in so that I can explain,” Stephen pleaded.

“No.” I replied, snuggling closer to the back of the bed. The yelling continued outside when suddenly there was a loud bang that echoed around me. Opening my eyes, I saw Stephen breathing heavily, placing my door back on its hinges before locking the door again.

“You broke my door!” I breathed in disbelief.

“Jasmine is gonna ---,” I started only to get cut off when I was quickly pulled down on my bed so that my arms were held above my head by Stephen’s steel grip as he towered over me, his dark eyes burning into my soul.

“Melanie I almost killed you. I lost control on our date. I mean, I didn’t even ask to drink from you! What if I killed you? I don’t even know what I would do without you...” Stephen shook his head.

“You’re doing pretty fine right now,” I retorted, surprised by his confused face.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about but I needed to get myself under control again. I was scared that you wouldn’t want to be with me if I told you that I couldn’t control myself so I just asked for us to be apart for some time. I didn’t realise until today that I hurt you Melanie. I never meant to hurt you.” Stephen explained.

“You broke your promise Stephen, you told me that you’d never leave me again but you did,” I cried.

“I’m sorry Melanie,” Stephen apologised, kissing away my tears as he continued to hold my hands above my head whilst keeping my legs inside of his, restricting my movements.

“You’re not forgiven Stephen so stop kissing me,” I sighed as his lips continued to leave tingles on my skin.

“Who is that woman that you have outside of my bedroom?” I quizzed since he didn’t stop kissing me.

“Oh, it’s probably a bad time to introduce you two, but she’s my mum,” Stephen smiled.

“You expect me to believe that? She looks like three years older than you,” I laughed humorously.

“Have you forgotten what I am? We don’t age Melanie that’s why she looks so young. Why would I lie about something like that?” Stephen reminded me, frowning, an expression that didn’t look attractive on his lips.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know...” I mumbled, feeling stupid.

“Melanie I love you with everything inside me. I would never cheat on you or even be able to move on without you in my life. Why do you think I’ve been trying to get us back together? I’d kill myself if I had to lose you a second time because I almost lost control again. Please forgive me,” Stephen declared.

“Stephen could you let go of my hands so that I could kiss you please,” I asked, grinning widely. I was about to slap him for not simply telling me the truth when I noticed a small bruise already on his left cheek. I had been too hypnotised by his black eyes to notice.

“What happened to your cheek?” I asked, placing my hand gently over it but still causing him to wince.

“My mum slapped me when I told her that I said we needed a break,” Stephen sighed sadly.

“Good, cause I was just about to do the same thing. Tell me the truth next time,” I smiled before he lowered his lips onto mine, simply brushing them over mine.

“Kiss me Stephen,” I pleaded before he pressed his lips hard against mine, forcing my lips open so that our tongues could move in sync. I placed by arms around his neck, pulling us closer and deepening the kiss in the process.

“This is why I lose control Melanie, it’s like your body’s calling me,” Stephen groaned, pressing his body closer against mine just as the door was busted open again.

When Stephen’s body was pulled away from mine, the look that he had on his face scared the life out of me. A growl left his lips and I quickly jumped out of the bed in front of him before he charged at Danny who didn’t even looked fazed by his growl, where as Jasmine’s expression seemed the total opposite.

“Stephen calm down,” The woman instructed in a strict voice which caused Stephen to slowly calm down.

“I don’t care what you are, just stay away from Melanie.” Danny scoffed. He knew?

“You don’t care what he is?” Jasmine frowned, staring back and forth between Danny and Stephen.

“I almost killed her Danny. What the hell was I supposed to do? Say hi Melanie, I almost killed you yesterday but I’ll be fine today?” Stephen retorted.

“You almost killed her?” Jasmine screamed.

“Yes Jasmine, I’m a vampire,” Stephen hissed, flashing his fangs at her.

“Huh...” Jasmine managed to get out before fainting.

“Stephen!” I growled, slapping him on his other cheek.

“She’s pregnant man! You can’t just shock her like that!” Danny raged, attempting to fan her back to consciousness.

“Pregnant?” I whispered. Why hadn’t she told me? How could I not have known?

“I’m sorry we didn’t tell you ---,” Danny started, looking sincerely apologetic but I was sick and tired of being apologised to. I should been the person apologising.

“I know why you didn’t tell me, so don’t apologise. Everyone needs to stop apologising.” I insisted. They didn’t think that I could handle it because of my miscarriage. I understood.

“Lie her down on the bed. I’ll speak to her when she wakes up,” Stephen’s mother suggested.

“So you’re the wonderful lady that has captured my stupid son’s heart. I’m sorry if he’s caused any problems within your relationship. He’s not very smart when it comes to girlfriends, hence why he’s gotten a bit of a whack from me.” she smiled.

“I am standing right here,” Stephen commented.

“And so am I, waiting for my fiancé to wake up,” Danny added, surprising me once again.

“Fiancé? Damn it Danny, when were you guys gonna tell me any of this?” I complained.

“When you were happy again?” Danny asked.

“How far along is she?” I questioned, ignoring his answer.

“Three months,” Danny smiled proudly.

“Well congratulations,” I stated, pulling him into a warm hug.

“Hands off my girlfriend Danny before I break your arms,” Stephen warned.

“She hugged me!” he defended.

“Girlfriend huh?”I grinned, liking the sound of it from his lips. The last time I had heard him call me that was in college. I was suddenly against the wall, with Stephen pressed against me and felt slightly lightheaded.

“I hate it and love it when your that fast. Oh and I love you too,” I informed him, earning a soft, warm kiss.

“What happened?” Jasmine wondered, gaining consciousness again. I guessed that it was time for explanations, on both of our parts.

"Melanie, could you come to speak to me for a second please," Stephen's mother whispered, pulling me to the side, away from the guys who were talking to Jasmine.

"I know how much you love my son and since you know what he is, the only way that you two can live happily for the rest of his life is if you become one of us. I know that you probably didn't think about it, but I think that you should," She explained seriously.

Become a vampire? I had never thought of that but if I wanted to be with Stephen forever, then I guessed that it would be the only way. Except, would I want to live drinking blood for the rest of my life?
