On my way back to the dorm I got a little turned around. I ended up on the roof. It was beautiful the night sky was so clear. I could see a beautiful crescent moon. I must have went up one to many floors. No one is up here, it's so peaceful.
The roof space was large flat and had a short gate around the top. It's a little cooler up here then the garden. The view is way better, I'll definitely be coming back here. With a jacket. Despite the cold, and tired I've always loved the night sky. I can't help but admire the view, it's breath taking.
Suddenly I feel someone touch me.
"you look cold." Alex said.
"I thought I was alone where did you come from?" I turn to face him he has his hood down. He has black hair and red eyes, his skin is pail white but not as pail as Devin. He is handsome in a dark way.
"I was just coming in and saw someone all alone." he is trying to sound creepy does he want people afraid of him?
"It is cold but I've always loved the night sky. The day sky is so bright, you miss all this."
'she stinks of wolf. I bet she will take back wanting to be friends'
"I'm use to it, the sky is boring"
"maybe your just not looking right."
He looked at me like I had three heads. 'she is weird'
"come I'll show you."
I grabbed his hand and lead him to the center does the roof. His and was so cool.
'I know they told her to say away, they always warn the mortals.'
I look back and smile I don't want him to think I'm afraid. Because I'm not. I stop and look up then set down, I pat next to me to tall Alex to set down. once he does I lay back, pulling him back too. The roof is so cold I try not to let my arms touch it.
"alright look up at the sky."
"ok" ' it's still just the sky.'
"now relax your eyes don't focus on anything,
breath slowly,
focus as far out as you can.
Its like looking in to an endless pool of stars."
'she is freezing, I can tell she really likes the night but why is she still out here.'
"Alex, I need to tell you something."
'Here it comes. At least she's going to tell me to stay away, most just act like I'm not there after the Wolfs scare them off.'
"it's about being friends"
'its for the best.'
"Thank you."
"For what?" 'That doesn't make sense, didn't see that coming'.
I sat up the roof is just too cold.
"Thanks for being my friend. I know you said I was annoying, and talk to much. I'm happy I talked to you." He took his hoodie off put it over my shoulders. Despite his cold body temperature the hoodie helps
"I'm sure you know I was told to be afraid of you, but I'm not. Despite everything I don't feel a reason to be afraid of you."
"but you should be" 'i can make her afraid.'
"I'm not. Why should I be?"
'its better that she is afraid then to have her close. I know as soon as she sees my real face she will run.' he move so fast, he grabbed me, tight and his face twisted, his eyes bright red, his teeth became longer, he opened his mouth wide and leaned to my neck. 'just scream an be done, I know your scared, of me, everyone is.' I hugged him tightly it's so sad that he doesn't think he should have friends.
"it's ok that we are different, I know you are not going to hurt me." I continue to hug him. " Now I'm not letting go till you hug me back."
'Whats wrong with this girl? Does she have a death wish or could she really tell that I was bluffing.'
It took a couple minutes for him to hug me back.
"see was that so hard, now if you are done trying to scare me it's late and I need sleep." I smiled, his handsome face was back.
"You really want to be friends with a vampire?"
"I don't know, but I want to get to know you, Alex. If I'm right about you, we will be friends in no time."
"You really believe that don't you?"
"Yep" I walk to the door and offer him his hoodie back.
"keep it" 'your much cuter when you don't smell like Wolf'
"Thank you, see your a nice guy." It's a nice hoodie, it's warm not that I've had it on for a minute. It does smell nice, kind of sweet.
'is she smelling my jacket?'
Oh my goodness he saw me. I couldn't help it all the thoughts about smelling. that's embarrassing. I turn quickly and walk inside.
"Goodnight!" I say quickly as I shut the door. I set down against the inside of the door for a couple seconds. That's embarrassing I can't believe I smelled his hoodie. With him right there. It does smell good though. I quickly go back to my dorm without getting lost again. Tara is fast asleep. I try to me quiet, I go to my deck and turn the light on. I set down to draw, I put my juice on the desk, with my muffins. I quietly get my pencils out and my iPod. I wanted to draw the new side Aaron with his shirt off. I couldn't get Alex's twisted face out of my head. His eyes looked so painful. Who hurt him? Why does he think he is a monster that should only be feared? Why is Aaron so determined to keep me away from him. Alex could have hurt me but didn't. He didn't even think of hurting me. I definitely think Aaron is more attractive, and overall more pleasant to be around but Alex I feel like he really needs a friend. It feels so nice hugging him, and he smells sweet. I only draw Alex's eyes before I fall asleep.
