I was running home from school, I hated staying after school on friday and talking to people...unless it was Henry.
The only problem was that i had't seem him for 2 months. Were we still together? Probably not.
Was i ever going to see him again? Probably not. Was i going to be a loner? Probably.
The only possitive thing was, that my body and face had healed and i was back to the normal me. Except i was lonely. Henry made me feel warm, even thhough he was ice cold.
He kept me safe, even though somewhere deep inside of him, something evil wanted to kill me. I was okay with that though. I love him. Well lov-ed him, im not so sure anymore.
One single tear poured down my cheek, i wiped it away fast, i had to move on, he was not going to keep me under a shaddow of pain and sorrow. I would move on. And i will.
That saturday my phone rang, my heart stopped, it did so whenever my phone rang. I guess i always had a slight hope that it might be him calling. It never was.
"Hey, Wanna come out for lunch with me, and a few friends?" Marcy asked, i could tell she was smiling.
"Sure" I said.
"Okay, meet me at 'The Little Cafe', in...15 minutes?" She asked.
"Yep" I nodded slightly to myself.
We hung up.
I put on jeans and a T-shirt, ruffled my hair, and set off for 'The Little Cafe'.
Marcy waved at me, beside her stood two girls, they were taller than us, but most people were.
I sighed, how was i going to survive meeting new people.
"Hi, I'm Lissa" The smaller of the two said, she had golden curls, that stopped at her shoulders.
I smiled, "Leah"
"Hello there, I'm Natalie" The tallest one said, she was pretty and had a big grin on her face. Her hair was a really nice shade of red with was in plats.
I smiled, "Lea- I just said it, sorry, memory like a gold-fish"
Natalie laughed, "Your funny"
"And pretty" Lissa said.
I shook my head, they laughed.
We ate some sandwitches, then walked to Marcy's. SHe insited we went to her house to watch a movie.
I liked the girls, they were nice, a lot like Marcy.
"Do you go to our school?" I asked quietly.
"Yes, but we are in completly opposite classes" Natalie said.
"Which is a shame, because you two are both very nice, and it would be good to have a chat with you in class" Lissa said, then giggled.
I half-smiled.
I walked home, it was dark. I didn't care about what Henry had said about the ally, i really didn't care anymore. I cut down, and ran for it.
I liked my mortal life, and didn't want to change, but i thought about it.
If i were imortal, i could sniff henry out, and find him. nah thats stupid, he left for a reason, i shouldn't barge back into his life, he had probably found a sexy vampire to sleep with I mean spend his imortal life with, oh, god. Now I'm miserable. Good job Leah.
I shook my head. I hated my thoughts sometimes.
I was almost at the end of the ally way, when i ran straight into someone...or something, it was hard as rock.
"Owch" i muttered, "Sorry" I said.
Silence.
I moved to the side, and started walking again, as i was walking away i heard a familiar voice.
"You never listen, do you" They said.
I turned, my eyes almost popping out of my head.
They snickered, "Leah?" They were making sure it was me.
"Yes" I said, "Henry?"
He was suddenly right before me, "Yes"
I wanted to hug him, but i remembered. We weren't together.
"Bye now" I said, then started walking away.
I turned and left the ally way, i heard footsteps behind me, even though they were quiet as a mouse.
"Why are you following me?" I asked loudly.
"Oh, umm..." He stuttered, "Could you hear me!?" he seemed shocked.
"Yes" I said happily.
I turned around, "What is it?"
"I thought you would have said more than 'yes', and 'bye', thats all" He blurted out.
"Nope, i mean...we aren't really...anything, there is nothing to our relationship..." I trailed off.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?" He yelled.
I backed away, "You left me" Tears started over flowing my cheeks, crap. I held my breath to make them stop.
He obviously noticed i was crying, "Im so sorry, i had to...there was so much blood!" He said, feeling guilty.
"For so long" I choked.
"Yes, or i would have killed you" He snapped.
"Well, i wouldn't have cared" I said, i was being stubborn.
"I would have, because..." he trailed off.
"Bye" I went to walk away.
"So that's it?" He asked after me.
"Maybe" I said sneekly, "You do have all the time in the world, right?"
I could tell he was curious, "What on earth are you on about, are you drunk?"
"Forget it" I walked away.
I walked fast, he ended up beside me, "What?" He asked.
I was crying, no sobbing is more like it.
"Why are you crying?" He asked, suddenly worried.
"Because" I worked up the courage, "Because i missed you" I blurted out.
"Aww, Leah, I missed you way more, and you wanna know something?" He said.
"Whaaat?" I gasped for air.
"I love you, and im sorry i had to leave" He smiled slightly.
More tears flooded out of my eyes, but this time they were happy.
He loves me, he wants me, everthing is...good.
"I have always loved you, and im glad your back, are you going to stay?" I asked, i had managed to stop crying.
"Yes, You need a protector, you fall over enough" He said, "And a lover" He raised his eyebrows up and down.
I stepped up onto the kirb, he kissed me, i kissed back eagerly.
We were kissing for some time, until a car beeped at us, it was dad. shoot.
I pulled away, my cheeks must have been crimson.
"Leah!" He yelled, "I called you a billion times, where is your phone?" He asked angrily.
"Uhmm...sorry, i must have left it at Marcy's" I said in a small voice.
"AND WHO IS THIS!?" He jabbed a finger in Henry's direction.
I hesitated, "This is Henry" I stuttered, i wasn't sure wither to say Boyfriend, so i left it.
"Nice to meet you, maybe this wasn't the best time, but it is nice to meet you, im her boyfriend" Henry said.
"Oh, Hello, Leah. IN THE CAR!" He shouted at me.
I went into the car without a sound, i smiled at Henry, he smiled back.
So perfect.
"Henry, he seemed nice, were you having fun?" Dad asked.
I blushed, "He is nice"
We ended it at that, thank the lord himself.
Everything seemed to be back in order, for now.
