chapter 10: so... i broke something

Carolines pov

So Chris showed me the letter, and I was so freaking angry. I knew part of fangs past, but I didn't think she would do something this drastic. But I was so pissed off, I just ran outside and well I kept punching a tree, and after quite a few hits to it I accidentally made it fall down. Out of shock, "S**T" so I just ran back to the bus, and shut the door really quick. Out of breath, the guys just look at me and I said, " h-hiiii. When do we have to leave?" Chris said, " in a few moments. Why?" He looked at me, I just awkwardly smiled, then said, " funny story actually, but to put it this way, I broke a tree." He looks at me wide eyed, and then Ricky came out and said, " so that was probably what we heard fall then."

But I then felt something drip from my hand, I look to see my knuckles were all scraped and red was dripping down my finger. So I said, " I will be right back." I had brought a roll of gauze, because I bring it for emergency reasons, but I grabbed it and went to the bathroom.I tried to clean it in the sink, and after a while I heard a knock on the door. And I replied, " come in, I am in a small predicament." When the door opened, I saw Ricky and I smiled. He said, " you alright?" I looked down to my hand again, the looked at the mirror, out of surprise he gave me a hug and rested his head on my shoulder.

I just smiled and sarcasm came away, " may I help you?" I said, trying to look over. I felt him smile. He replied, " Caroline, can I ask you something?" I nodded a little, he continued, " well, there is two things: one, will you go out on another date with me and two-" I looked back to the mirror, and his eyes, were like caved in, I tried not to panic, but I turned around and said, " well I can give you an answer in a moment just I have to go out of the bathroom." I pushed him out of the way and I was still trying to wrap the mesh around my hand, but I ran out and I felt my anxiety takeover.

" guys, I- something is up with Ricky." Two of the guys quickly got up and I tried to explain, it is just my fear I don't know what to do. Then one of them asked I didn't know who though, " what's wrong? What happened?" I felt shaky, I couldn't control my thoughts, and my mind was just scattered around. " I was trying to clean my hand, then Ricky came i-in and everything went-t d-down hill." I wasn't sure what to do, it has been a very long time since I have felt this way. The last time this happened was when I was in high school, walking home after school. I shook the thought from my head, and was brought back to reality falling to the floor smacking my head. I curse, " ow, dammit."

Fang's pov

So I was on a plane back to Philly, and I was so lost in thought I was home before I knew it. But I called a taxi after I grabbed my bag and stuff. But the taxi fare was only fifteen dollars. But once I got in the house I thanked the cab driver and I dropped my stuff after I locked the door. So the bad thing was I started to think out loud. " okay, now I have to grab my stuff well most of it." So I walked up stairs, and I wanted to start a new life. Just I was wondering, what, or how are they going to be when I am gone.

I doubt they would do anything fang, I really don't think that they even cared about you. You are nothing to them, now just keep doing what you are doing. And run away.

I make my own choices, and this was my choice, and I don't need anyone's pity, not even you. So here's a damn news flash: get the f**k out of my head. And don't keep popping in. Got that you idiot.

Meow, someone is pissed.

Caroline's pov

So I got up from the ground and I saw nothing but the bus I was the only one in there, and there was no one there, and I walked around and went to the back, I saw fang, she said, " I did this for your own good Caroline. Where you really my friend, or did you just use me to get close to them."

I shook the thought and I was brought back to reality when I heard mumbled yelling, " care, care, Caroline, come on stay with me." I had a fuzzy vision but I saw ghost by me and Chris and Ryan trying to hold Ricky back, and I started to have clear vision, I asked, " what happened? Ow that hurt a lot." I started to adjust and I asked, Chris. " what is wrong with him?" Chris growled, " I don't know but I think your blood had a aftershock on him." I looked down, this is all my fault. I am the one to blame.

But didn't we have to go to the next venue. So I started to have fuzzy vision, and walked to the bunk alley and I mumbled walking past, " let him go. It is not his fault." He growled, and looked at me. I walked to the very back and I found the one thing fang forgot it was still in plastic, so I grabbed it and started to play with it. I then took it out of the plastic and well I guess you can figure, I only did it once, and I heard a slam on the door. I quickly hid it and grabbed my covered hand and put it over my arm.

I wrapped my hand to look like a mummy so it was okay, but I opened the door. And saw Ricky and ghost. I said mumbling, " what?" Ghost looked at me and said " Ricky wanted to talk to you." I nodded and replied, "okay, thanks and I think I will be okay. So you can go." He nodded and left. Ricky came in and shut the door then sat down.

I asked, " what?" He moved closer to me, and said, " Caroline, I am sorry I scared you. I- I just don't know what came over me. I guess since I guess what Chris would say I am still new to this, but Caroline, I am so sorry. I just want you to know, we may not be dating or anything but I love you." He gave me a hug and fear and courage took over so I said, " Ricky, that is very sweet, but I- one moment" I got up and opened the door a crack and shut it again, and replied, " I can help with control if you want. Besides when was the last time you fed?"

He looked down and said, " two months ago." I was shocked and smacked him in the back of the head and said, " I may not be normal or a vampire but I do know that, vampires can do with out for about four to five weeks, not two months. Ugh. You adorable idiot." I slightly screamed at him and I saw his eyes were fading to black again, I rolled my eyes. And removed my hand from my arm and said, " you are lucky I trust you. And you break my trust I will break you."

He looked at me with his eyes black, and I rested my hand on his shoulder and he just took a big inhale and his fangs were showing, I felt my heart skip a beat. But I grabbed my hair tie and put my hair in a pony tail, I moved closer, my heart racing and nodded, as I moved my head to the side a little, everything, I let out a gasps.

Ricky's pov

I went to apologize to Caroline and the next thing I know is I say I love her, which I do very much, but my hunger was taking over again, she was my world, she moved her arm and I took a breath in and she put her hair up and moved her head, she nodded saying okay, I moved closer, my fangs were revealed, and I just let my hunger take over, but I didn't want to hurt her. It was this electricity that I felt between us, and I think I want to ask her to be my girlfriend. I pulled back and she said, " you okay?"

I nodded but replied, " I should be the one asking that. But are you?" She nodded and said, " Ricky, i want you to let me know, if you can't control your hunger let me know. Okay. I want to help you control. It might take a few tries, but I want to help. I want to do it for you and your state off mind. Promise me you will come if you can't control okay?" I nodded and I had my fangs exposed and her blood still on my lips, but I gave her a kiss, she was surprised at first, but she kissed back, and I felt her smile a little.

She pulled back, " I love you Caroline." She smiled and said, " I love you to Ricky." I smiled, and it was really nice to hear that, but I wanted to ask, " Caroline will you go out on another date with me?" She smiled and nodded yes. So here's me on the inside, ' yes, yes. Doing a victory dance.' On the outside, happy and smiling.

Caroline's pov

So I wanted to help Ricky with control, so I told him, and he understood, but me and him kissed which was why I felt sparks between us and fireworks going off in my head. But he also asked me on a second date, which was a score for me. He is the most, cutest, funniest, adorable, and romantic guy on the planet. In my opinion of course. But I thought it was nice. But I think I heard Chris yell, " we are leaving so make sure no one is outside of the bus." I saw Ricky roll his eyes. And it made me giggle.
