You rise, I fall, I leave with nothing... nothin' at all.

"Stupid luggage." I muttered, to myself, as I pulled the large Louis Vuitton trunk out from under the four poster bed I'd been sleeping on while staying with Kaci this summer. It wasn't the luggage's fault that my flight was already booked and I was finally leaving in a few days to go back to Shreveport. And that I didn't want to go. But inanimate ( Read more... )

"Uh. No." I shook my head at her when she made me her offer to let me stay here in Kaci's room. Like I even wanna stay here with Lacey. I don't think so. If I wasn't gonna go back home I'd just go stay with Caleb. Lacey was what made staying here fun. I wasn't about to hang out here on my own. I crossed my arms at her as she patted the bed like I was the favorite family pet that was just gonna kiss her and watch her leave. I don't think so ( ... )

I rolled my eyes. She was so spoiled sometimes! It was just an offer. Lexi didn't seem all that ready to go back to her dad's and be around him and her brother, so I felt awful about leaving her here. I thought the least I could do was make sure she still had somewhere she could be on her own terms. Then again, the name Caleb comes to mind ( ... )

"TaeBo?" I asked her, arching one perfectly tweezed eyebrow in her direction. "Ew. How many times does Billy Blanks really need to oil himself between takes? It's gross." I said before I realized I'd gone totally off on a tangent which was so not my fault because Lacey was the one who brought it up. "And why wouldn't your parents let you? You could stay with me if it would make them feel better. My dad won't care." I said with a shrug. And as long as we didn't tell the Collins' that my dad was a vampire we would probably be okay ( ... )

"Probably because I just turned 17 last month, and they don't know your dad, and this is California," I replied, givin' her a look. What was the big urgency? I wasn't exactly thrilled with the whole thing. I mean, I have a boyfriend! A boyfriend who lives in California. If there was any way I thought my parents had double lobotomies and would go for it, I'd be staying here. And believe, I wish they had had those lobotomies. It would explain them still not remembering my birthday ( ... )

"Oh my God, are you dense?" I asked her, exasperated as I put my hands on my hips. "I pushed you off a friggin' balcony and you landed on your feet! You still think I'm crazy." God, she was supposed to be my best friend. A little faith in me, please. "And no, God. I'm totally not a vampire slayer. No offense but I'm like way more special than you are now ( ... )

last_to_believe September 1 2007, 03:37:51 UTC

"It could have been a fluke!" I argued, a little pissed that she called me dense. I'm not dense! She's just totally crazy all of a sudden. Pushing me off of the second floor and talking about vampire Slayers and how special she is. She's special alright! God.

I bit my lower lip a little when she offered to take me to find a vampire. I wasn't so sure it was a good idea to go anywhere with her until she came to her senses. Or like, take a Xanax or something. I was worried about her! Beheading? Holy water? Fire? No thanks.

"Wait," I said, holding up an arm to stop her. "Let's say I choose to indulge you. We are not telling anyone. Especially not your Aunt Kennedy. No offense, but everyone bitched about her on the trip to Greece. They all talked about how hardcore she was. And this is my Senior Year. Wherever I spend it, I'm not spendin' it getting bossed around by some girl only a few years older than me on a power trip." I explained in no uncertain terms. "Besides, I have a boyfriend too. I'm not giving anything up to go to that ( ... )

osborn_heiress September 1 2007, 03:50:36 UTC

We weren't telling Kennedy? That was just like way dumb. Okay, I knew my aunt could be a little intense sometimes. Luckily for me and Tyler we always tended to bring out the gentler side of Kennedy but I wasn't stupid, I've seen her around the other girls. Sucks to be them. I didn't blame Lacey for not wanting to go down that road but slayers need someone who knows what they're doing to tell them what to do ( ... )

last_to_believe September 1 2007, 05:09:10 UTC

"No telling anyone," I insisted. "Even if you're not completely crazy, I want nothin' to do with this whole thing. I'm a 17 year old girl. I shop at Nordstrom and Bloomie's. If this is real, then someone out there has made a huge mistake."

Besides, I didn't want to talk to a stranger about something like this. That's what I had Jude for. Lexi was my person, like they say on Grey's Anatomy. Not that I was worried about any of this anyway because look at what the Hell she's talking about. Vampires.

Lexi drove like a maniac, which is how Lexi always drives, and I just sat there with my perma frown, waitin' on the worst. Like I said, vampires. Though, I don't know, maybe this makes sense in some really weird way. Jude kept skatin' around the whole magic bubbles issue. But they were real. I saw them. Could vampires be that far removed ( ... )

osborn_heiress September 1 2007, 06:04:34 UTC

Whoa. She actually didn't do too bad with her first one, I was even surprised. It was all instinct and to be honest I never even really expected her to be able to land on her feet when she fell either. I thought she would land on her ass but that she wouldn't die and that would be good enough. Some stupid vampire grabbed me by the arm too like it wanted to bite me but I just shoved it away from me ( ... )

last_to_believe September 5 2007, 10:15:16 UTC

I was going to kill Lexi. If the vampires didn't kill her first. Or me, for that matter. There were so many of them, crowding around me like a bunch of hungry animals that hadn't been fed in weeks. Grabbin' at me like I was the latest kill. And sure, I'd kicked that first one's ass, and gave them all a run for their money. But there were too many of them now. I'd kick one off just to have another in its place before my eyes even adjusted ( ... )

osborn_heiress September 9 2007, 04:24:56 UTC

"What? No drink?" I called after Lacey when she stormed out of the bar. God, what was her problem? At least I was honest with her which was a whole lot more than anyone ever did for me. Maybe I'm not good at breaking the news gently but Lacey was born to be strong, she just needed someone to show her ( ... )

last_to_believe September 9 2007, 08:59:35 UTC

What now? I frowned, wondering if maybe there was another vampire gathering nearby that she could throw me at. When I told her to show me a vampire, I didn't mean a whole bar full of them! And I definitely didn't mean to announce that I was a friggin' Slayer either. Could've done without that part ( ... )

osborn_heiress September 11 2007, 00:10:01 UTC

"Oh please. I wouldn't let them really hurt you. Besides I had to make you believe me. When they were hitting you, you hardly felt it, huh? You don't have a scratch or a bruise on you, Lacey. You're built for this kinda stuff. It's cake." I shrugged. She still didn't look that convinced. "Sorry. I guess I grew up around it. I knew I was special from the day I was born. I didn't know how to break the news gently or whatever. It's no big deal ( ... )

last_to_believe September 30 2007, 01:45:02 UTC

"It's not cake." I argued. "Maybe I'm built for it, but my life was hard enough without the added complication of having some stupid destiny to fulfill or answer to." I know, poor little rich girl. To most people, my life probably didn't seem that complicated or hard. But then again, most people hadn't met parents. So they had no idea just how much money couldn't buy. Including happiness. Especially happiness ( ... )
