come. I wasn’t going to be rude besides he isn’t a bad guy.” I insisted.
“Yeah, I wish he was. Or that he wasn’t so good looking at least. I mean you can’t be funny, nice, smart, and good looking.” Aaron said and I rolled my eyes.
“Yeah you can. I mean you are all of that and more.” I said, and he smiled.
“You’re too perfect.” He said and I laughed letting go of him.
“That’s a good one.” I said, and he tilted my chin up.
“Your life isn’t perfect, but you are.” He said, and I wrapped my arms around him again kissing him .
“We better go back.” I muttered, and he looked at me grinning as he started letting us sink down.
“That swim suit is amazing by the way.” He noticed and I blushed.
“Thanks. If you didn’t have all those bandages you wouldn’t look too bad yourself.” I teased, but he winced.
“I know it was stupid. Can we let it go?” He said harshly, and I nodded not saying anything.
“I’m sorry.” He said right as we neared the water. I nodded again as he handed me down to Chris. He rose a few feet quickly brought his winks, and fell into the water.
“Wet wings are the worst. That’s why he did that.” Rose murmured, and I nodded.
“Are his wings gorgeous especially?” I asked and she nodded.
“His wings are special.” She said admiringly.
“Got a crush on my boyfriend I see.” I teased, but secretly I actually wondered about it. I would feel better if I left him in the capable hands of Rose. If I could keep myself from getting jealous about it that is.
“No, no,” She said blushing, “just his wings.”
“Alright sure.” I said as Aaron wrapped his arms around me. He looked at me curiously, but I just shook my head. We all splashed around in the water for about thirty minutes before Adrian left. Then an hour later I got out of the water.
“Well, I love you all, but I need to get out of this light.” I said before hugging all of them tightly.
“You’re giving us all goodbye hugs.” Krista muttered, and I faked confusion.
“Well, I’m leaving.” I pointed out and she shook her head.
“No, it feels like goodbye for a long time.” She said hugging her boyfriend who I’d only given a hesitant pat on the arm.
“Who knows?” I laughed a long with her boyfriend and Aaron. Chris, Rose, and Krista all seemed to feel the same way though.
“Is there something you need to tell us?” Chris asked.
“Yeah, you’ve been sketchy lately.” Rose said siding with him and I crossed my arms.
“I can’t believe this. I have a group get together with all my best friends, and it has to be because I’m never going to see them again?” Yes I answered myself. That’s exactly what you’re doing.
“You’re right of course. I’m just saying you can tell me anything.” Rose said shaking her head clear of suspicion.
“Yeah me too.” Chris said putting a supportive hand on my shoulder.
“You know I’m here for you.” Krista said, and I nodded.
“Thanks everyone really, but I just want to take a nap. Honestly, I’m so tired.” I said with a yawn. I turned away walking myself to my dorm. I got to my room closed the door behind me, and sighed as I leaned on it. I was keeping secrets again. I was lying to the people I cared about most again. All of the lying and hiding things was getting old. It was tiring and painful.
It wasn’t fair. I was leaving them for good. They probably would never see me again. Well, Rose would, but the rest of them… I don’t know if I’d even be able to hang out with any of them again without crying at good bye. Leaving was going to be harder than I thought.
Chapter 10: Face Facts


I was startled to hear a knocking at my door, and groaned as I stood up to open it. Before I could say a word Adrian pulled me to him kissing me in the middle of the hallway. All though my mind was screaming that it was stupid to kiss in the hall, my body melted against his. I lifted my hands running them through his silky hair. He kissed me roughly pulling me as close as he could. We only pulled away when I yanked back from him at the sound of a door. I looked around, but I didn’t see anyone.
“Did you hear that?” I asked Adrian breathing heavily.
“No, what?” I slid my hand into his pulling him into my room.
“I thought I heard a door.” I whispered in panic, and he frowned.
“I’ll check. I’ll be right back.” He slid out of my door, and I paced for five minutes waiting for him to come back.
“I didn’t see anyone.” He said after he walked in, and closed the door behind him.
“Okay good.” I mumbled, and he pulled me to him again.
“I loved spending time with you today.” He whispered in my ear, and I shivered.
“Me too.” I stated inadequately making him smile. Something was off about it though.
“You loved spending time with Aaron too.” He said his smiled gone.
“I, yes, I did. It was amazing to fly.” I agreed with him.
“Yeah, I bet it was.” He murmured picking me up, and I wrapped my legs around him immediately. “I was terrified.”
“Oh yeah? Were you?” I asked smiling and he smiled too as I pressed my lips to his.
“I love you.” He set me down.
“I love you too.”
“Well, I’m going to bed. You need to sleep too.” I nodded resisting the urge to role my eyes.
“Straight to bed I promise.” I couldn’t resist the sarcastic comment as I sat on my bed, and he laughed before turning out my light and leaving. I closed my eyes sliding under my sheets. Sleep came instantly.
The thunder struck the ground again, and I flinched. I looked over at my tormentor’s red eyes, and then at the basement door as it shattered.
“Hand her over.” Adrian hissed at him. My tormentor attacked Adrian, and it looked like he was winning.
“No Ian.” I whimpered, and his eyes locked on mine. He shoved against the vampire with all his might sending him crashing into a wall. I looked away, but I heard the ripping of the vampire being torn apart. Then I felt Adrian’s strong arms picking my flimsy body up in his arms. I started sobbing uncontrollably. Whether it was from joy or fear I’ll never know. I just cried.
“It’s okay sweetie. It’s okay. Don’t cry; I’m here.” He whispered kissing my forehead. Everything went black for a second, and the scene had changed.
“Hand her over.” A strange man with dark hair ordered Adrian.
“Never.” He said holding me tightly.
“Take her.” He ordered, and a few men came over grabbing me from Adrian.
“Ian no!” I screamed and cried and kicked as hard as I could reaching for him. He reached out to me, and there were tears in his eyes.
“I’ll find you.” He promised.
“No don’t take my baby. Please. Don’t take her.” My dad said crying for the first time in front of me making new tears come to my eyes.
“We’ll take good care of her.” The strange man said taking me from the recruits who’d ripped me from Adrian’s arms.
“No, don’t take her. Allie, I’ll find you one day. We’ll meet again sweet heart; I promise.” My dad said reaching out to me and I stretched to him our fingertips brushing against each other.
I woke up with tears in my eyes, and rubbed them dry. Every night I had gotten closer to seeing all of my past, but it wasn’t until tonight that I got to see my father. His sad brown eyes as he watched me get taken. I sniffled, and looked at my clock. It was midnight, and I stood up. Surely the others were up by now. I looked at my soaking wet bed, and groaned before changing out of my swimsuit into a comfy sweater and skinny jeans.
I walked into the hallway, and knocked on Adrian’s door only to get no answer. I sighed walking into the crisp night air. There was no one I could tell about it. No one to comfort and console me. New tears sprung to my eyes as the bitter realization that there was no one I could truly trust and tell everything to hit me. I walked over to a tree and sat down under it.
Well, there were plenty of people I could trust, but I couldn’t tell them for their own safety. I didn’t know what my dad was capable of. I stood up making a rash decision as I walked to the angel lobby.
“Which way to Rose’s room?” I asked the sleepy desk clerk.
“Down the hall and on the left there’s a stair case. She’s on the second floor room 103.” She answered me with a yawn.
“Thanks very much.” I said walking down the hall, and running up the stairs. Her room was at the end of the next hall I turned down. I knocked for a few minutes before she answered.
“I’m coming.” She snapped opening the door. “Oh it’s you. Do you know what time it is?”
Then noticing my face her voice softened, “Are you okay?”
I sniffled in response and shrugged.
“Are you gonna come in or what?” She asked standing aside, and I walked in standing in her room awkwardly. I looked around her room, but I couldn’t see much since the only light on was her lamp.
“What’s going on Ahnallie?” She asked concerned, and I sat down taking a deep breath. I was having second thoughts, but it was too late. I knew that everything was going to come out like it or not.
“I’m cheating on Aaron with Adrian.” I blurted out, and she turned the light on her face the perfect picture of shock.
“Are you serious?” She asked in horror, and I nodded burying my face in my hands as if that could hide my shame.
“I wish I was kidding. Well, actually I was with Adrian first, but god it’s all a mess.” I said shaking my head, and she sat down in a chair across the room.
“Wait so, do you like Adrian or is it just a hot mess situation?” She asked after a minute.
“No I’m in love with him; with both of them.” I said and she grimaced.
“Of course. How did this happen? Not that I’m surprised, but when did it start?” She asked and I shrugged.
“A few months ago, when Ciaran kissed Elle. Afterward I confronted him, and he kissed me. Adrian made him get off of me, and when I went to my room he followed me. He told me this crazy story, and I believed it. It
