Vampiress by Destiny B. Rose (epub e reader .TXT) 📖

stopping by so suddenly." Scott said, "I should've called." Rose stood there, frozen. She didn't know what to say or what to ask. Why was her ex-boyfriend at her front door? Stopping by for a visit? Or to torment her some more? "What do you want, Scott?" Rose asked. "Look, I know I messed up." Scott exclaimed, "But, I didn't mean to hurt you. I thought things were going good, until you broke up with me." "Going good?" Rose said, "You being a jerk and a bully to everyone around me was 'good'?" Scott looked down at his feet. He didn't know what else to say. He'd come over to apoligize, but some part of him knew it was going to turn into an argument.

"I'm sorry. That's all I came to say." Said Scott. He then turned and started down the steps to the driveway. "Wait!" Rose demanded, "Why are you sorry?" Scott turned and looked at Rose. She was so beautiful. He was so lucky to be with a girl like her but he blew it. So, why couldn't he just say that? "Scott?" Rose asked. "Yea?" Scott looked up, "Oh, yea. Well, the thing is, I knew I was being a jerk. I thought if I did that you would think it was cool and want to be with me even more. It was stupid. I should've just listened to you when you told me to stop, instead of turning it into a huge arguement." He looked down at his feet again, "I guess what I'm trying to say is, I miss you. And I want you back." Rose was stunned. She didn't know what to say. But, she was with Ashton, he had to know that, right? "Scott, I'm sorry." She started, "But, I'm with Ashton.."

Scott looked up for a brief minute then turned and ran down the steps, onto the driveway, and to the road. "Scott! Wait!" Rose called after him. But, he didn't stop. He hated himself for doing this, all he wanted was her, and his best friend took her from him.

When he got home he ran straight up the steps to his room and slammed the door. He didn't care if his mom heard him all he wanted to do was die. He locked his door and went to his dresser. He pulled open the top drawer to reveal his pocket knife. What could he do? Live with the pain until it went away? What if it never went away? He slid open the knife and examined the sirated edges. "I'm sorry, Rose." He lifted the knife and brought it down hard.

Rose tried his cellphone, his house phone, his Facebook, everything. Scott wouldn't answer. Why had he wanted her back all of a sudden? Didn't he hate her for what she had done to him? She tried his cellphone one last time and when he didn't answer, ran downstairs and got her car keys. 'Good thing 15 year old's can have their permits.' She thought to herself. 'Better not get caught driving without an adult.'

She got in and started the car. Rose knew inside this was a bad idea, but it was a faster way to get to Scott if something had happened. She drove down the road past April's house and past Ashton's. When she finally got to Scott's road she saw atleast three cop cars pulled up in the driveway and an ambulance. She pulled into the driveway and got out. The first thing she saw was Scotts mom on the doorstep, ready to pass out. "Mrs. Dunham! Are you alright?! Where's Scott?" Rose exclaimed. "He..he..he had a knife and he.. he" Mrs. Dunham started crying uncontrollably which looked like the 15th time to day because of her red, puffy eyes.

Rose bolted into the house and up the stairs. She didn't know which room was Scott's so she figured it was the one busted open by police officers. She ran inside and found two paramedics wrapping Scott in gauze and cloth. "SCOTT!" Rose cried, "What did you do!? WHY would you do this!? What were you thinking!?" Scott wouldn't look at her, and a police officer tried to escort her out "Get your hands OFF me!" Rose screamed, "What happened to him!?" "Ma'am, it seems your friend tried to commit suicide. If his mom wouldn't have panicked because his door was locked and he wasn't answering, he'd probably be dead.

Rose couldn't believe what she was hearing. She ran downstairs and out the door, ignoring Mrs. Dunham's attempts to call her back over. She started her car and drove down the street. Rose pulled into a driveway, ran up to the front door, and frantically started ringing the doorbell. When the door open Ashton stood in the doorway. "Rose. What's wrong?" Ashton asked. Rose couldn't help it, she ran into Ashton's arms and squeezed him. "It's Scott!"

"Who's this?" Rose looked up and saw a girl about her age standing in front of her. She looked angry. "I'm Rose." She said, "Who are you?" The girl looked surprized, as if Rose was SUPPOSED to know who she was. "I'm Victoria. Ashton's sister." Before Rose could say anything else, Kaitlyn came around the corner asking who was at the door. "Kaitlyn?! What are YOU doing here?!" Rose exclaimed, angrily. "I HAPPEN to be here on a date!" Kaitlyn snarled, "With MY boyfriend." She grabbed Ashton's arm and pulled him back.

"Wha-what?" Rose said on the verge of tears. Ashton looked up at her. "I'm so sorry. This is why I said I couldn't see you anymore, I was afraid I would be too into Kaitlyn and do stuff with HER while WE were together." He paused, "I never meant to hurt you." She looked at him, then fury came over her instead of sadness, she exploded. "Wow! You know what!? I came here crying into YOUR arms because your best friend just stabbed himself because of ME AND YOU! And I come here to find out that you're CHEATING on me!? Fine! You can have Kaitlyn! I'm DONE!" Rose ran from the porch and cranked up the car.

'Why?' She thought, 'Why does EVERYTHING happen to me!? Ashton can have a nice life and so can Kaitlyn! Right now, I'm just worried about how Scott's doing.' Rose drove down the long road to Scott's own street and turned. The police cars were no longer there, but the ambulance was. When she turned she didn't realize how fast she was going or how there was a huge puddle where it had just rained. She lost control of the wheel and the car spun out of control. She heard the car hit something then, black.

Chapter 11: Forgiveness and More Rowans

When Scott woke up he was in a hospital room with four white walls, a white ceiling, and white furniture. 'Does EVERYTHING in a hospital have to be white?' Scott thought as he examined his new living area for the next week and a half. "Scott? Sweetie, are you awake?" It was Scott's mother, Mrs. Dunham. "Hey, mom. Yea, I am." He replied, "Has Rose been here yet?" Mrs. Dunham bit her bottom lip. "No, honey. That's what I came to tell you." Scott's eyes got wide. "Rose was in a car crash. She totalled the car coming back to see if you were okay." "What!?" He cried, "Is she okay!? She's not hurt is she!?" She grabbed Scott's hand to calm him down. "Yes, sweetheart, she's fine. Maybe some scrapes and bruises here and there. But, she'll be alright. They're letting her go home today."

Scott sat straight up. "Can I see her?" Mrs. Dunham sat quietly for a while then said, "Yes. I'll go see if she's up." She left the room and Scott sat and waited.

She didn't know what had happened. All she remembered was driving to Scott's house, then the turn, then, nothing. Rose finished brushing her hair and put the brush back in the over-night bag her mom had brought her. She leaned over the sink and splashed some water in her face. 'What have I done now?' She thought to herself.

Rose jumped as she heard a knock at her hospital room door. They had the liberty of giving her the one she was born in, Room 119. She opened the door to find Mrs. Dunham standing there looking as happy as ever. Which was odd to Rose as she would've thought she'd been very depressed. "Oh! Hello, Mrs. Dunham. What a surprize." She said. "Yes, well, Scott wanted to know that, when you were ready, if you'd come and see him before you go." Rose looked back at the clock, 12:35. Her mom was supposed to pick her up at one o'clock. "Yea, sure. Definitely."

Rose followed Mrs. Dunham down three very long hallways and up an elevator until they got to Scott's hospital room. 'Room 452, how conveniant.' She thought to herself. "Scott?" Mrs. Dunham started, "Rose is here to see you." Scott turned his head to face us and Mrs. Dunham walked out of the room to the hallway. From the screen of the TV, she could tell he'd been watching Grey's Anatomy. 'Ironic.' She thought and laughed to herself.

"What's so funny?" Scott asked. Rose had come into the room just minutes before and she was laughing at him? "Oh! No, sorry. I was just..thinking." Rose said. Scott relaxed, "Oh. What were you thinking about?" "Oh, nothing important." She answered and sat down in a white plush chair next to the bed. "Are you sure?" Scott asked, a little uneasy. "Positive." Rose smiled and Scott smiled back.

"Yes." Rose said, suddenly. Scott looked confused, "Yes, what?" Rose blushed and looked down. "Yes, I forgive you." Rose leaned down and kissed Scott on the cheek. When she pulled away, Scott pulled her back in and kissed her. They stayed that way for a while and not once had Rose wanted to pull away. It was her first kiss and she loved every second of it.

"That's it! I can't take it anymore!!" Riquel fumed, throwing a beer bottle at the stone wall and smashing it into pieces. "That stupid little girl got away from US!? The Rowans!? We had her in the palm of our hands and we let her slip through our fingers!" He slammed his fist down hard on a wooden antique table and broke it in half. Bilks looked at the broken table and said, "That was our mums, Ricky." "DON'T call me Ricky!" He shouted. Bilks shrunk into the big, throne room worthy, red velvet chair.

Riquel calmed himself and popped his neck. "I do apoligize for my unruly behavior." He said looking around the room, "I'm going to bed. Goodnight." As he was walking away Siara spoke up, "Always leave it to Ricky to go to bed while we TRY to fix a problem." Riquel
