"Hmm i can think of several. Do you want me to name them," he yelled as he glared at her walk away. His eyes never leaving her.

Stacey froze, both feet planted firmly in the ground. There were tears in her eyes and her voice quivered. "Yes," She whispered, "I would love for you to name them."

Nate shuffled his feet,"Fine." He looked up through his deep dark eyes and said sternly,"I could kill you. Actually at one moment or so i wanted to kill you. I suck overly as a boyfriend. Not friendly. Hmm..lets see i've killed about 200 people and im what? only 16. Yeah and i am a vampier, you and i cant date anyways." His voice softened as he looked back down at his shoes,"Do you want me to say more?"

Stacey swallowed and held back the tears. "No." She whispered. She collapsed against a tree and put her hands over her eyes.

He said in a much softer voice,"Now you know what you have to do and what i think you deserve. Go get married to Aiden. He'll love you in ways i cant." He moved by her side and put out a welcoming hand,"You know its true," he whispered.

Stacey slowly took the hand he had held out. "I know, Nate." She said softly. "I know all too well. I just wish things could be different."

Nate said almost over an whisper,"Things are different... for the best." A small smile formed on his face but he never let go of her hand until a couple of seconds too late.

Stacey looked at the ground. She didn`t say what she wanted to because she knew he would just tell her she was wrong and blame it on himself; she hated it when he did that.

"And you are wrong," he teased, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
