Sarah's POV I don't answer that question. I can't...I just look into his eyes, pleading as if hoping he'll understand. How am I going to tell him that it was my own father?! He seems to understand my intentions. He stands up from his seat and comes in front of me, he actually kneels so he can be at the same level as me. Damon: Sarah, if you don't help yourself how can I help you?! Sarah: I am sorry, I just... can't. He lifts his hand to touch me. This time I don't pull away but when his fingers touch my skin it's like electricity hit us both... He immediately pulls his hand back and so do I. I know that we are both surprised because of the look in his eyes. What is wrong with us?! We stay there for a moment staring at each other literally saying nothing. Then he stands up and clears his throat… Damon: Ahem. I will be outside for a minute…if you need to call someone to tell them you are alright or anything, call from that phone. He points at the phone on his desk.
Sarah's POVI go to my room and take a quick shower before changing into the PJ's Rose has given me. Everything is silent, everything seems normal. Today must be the second day I am here. Yeah, that must be it...I don't know how I should be reacting to the realisation though. When I understood that I was about to get sold at an auction like I am an object I thought my life would end there...that was it!There is no way out! Or so I thought. But those people?They treated me like family and even though I don't know if this is going to continue I feel way more normal than I ever did at school, with so called friends or my excuse of a father around. But when I left Damon's office I had a really weird feeling, difficult to express or describe...I lay on the bed thinking of how my life changed in a moment. Sarah: For better or for worse.I don't know yet, but something is telling me I'll find out soon.The next morning I don't wake up myself, Rose is trying to drag me out
Sarah's POVI take a bite too and I definitely agree! We finish our meals faster than expected.Rose: We should do that more often. Sarah: I would get used to that. Rose's phone buzzes and a reminder appears on the screen.Rose: Oh shit I forgot that! Sarah: Is everything alright? Rose: Yeah.. just I have to write an essay, as I told you I am homeschooled and I have not typically graduated yet...I really have to do this essay or my mum is gonna kill me!Sarah: Okay! Don't freak out! Do you need help?Rose: Nah, I'm good.She stands up.Rose: I will see you at six.Sarah: Six? That's two hours before the anniversary party!Rose: And we need them to get ready! And you also need to meet the band members!Sarah: Whatever you say, boss.She chuckles and turns to leave. At the last minute, she turns and faces me with a smile.Rose: Hey, Sarah...Sarah: What?!Rose: I'm just really happy I met you. She seems like she wants to say something else.. but she doesn't. She
Sarah's POV The moment the door closes behind Damon, I wrap my arms around myself in an attempt to tame the cold that washed over me. When he is gone I can’t help but feel like there is a void I have to fill. In his arms, I felt safe. Now, I don't. Thankfully the time has come and Rose storms into the room, holding two dresses. I didn’t realize how time has passed but it was already six. Rose: Surprise! Now girl! Get ready to shine! Sarah: Yes, ma'am! I catch up on her vibe immediately trying to shake my feeling of discomfort away as I stand up. Rose: Come on, come on. Sarah: You really are excited about that event huh? Rose: You have no idea! My parents hire professionals for our hair and makeup but I send them home and do not worry we did pay them for their time and what they’d do to us! The satisfied look on her face and the way she says it makes me burst out laughing. Sarah: *chuckles* And why's that? Don’t you like your hair done by professionals?! Rose
Sarah’s POV She punches me playfully in the arm and I giggle. She is embarrassed because I am right! And for the first time, I find myself wanting to learn who’s the one who got my friend acting like that! Sarah: Alright! I won't ask any more questions. Rose: I — She is about to answer me, and truth be told I am really curious! But then her mother enters the room without any particular notice. Vanessa: Look at you! Two gorgeous ladies! Rose: Thank you, mum! Sarah: Thank you, Vanessa, you look great as well. And she does. Her makeup is a beautiful combination of earthly colours on her lips and eyes. Her hair is wrapped up in a slick chignon bun on the back of her head and her body is covered by a lace crème fitted dress that covers down to her same matching colour pair of heels, on her ears hanging a short pair of pearl earrings. Vanessa: Thank you, dear! Although I don't believe anyone will outstand you! Rose: Nah. Don't complain you look good for your age. She
Sarah’s POV She points at Jake, a guy whose skin colour is a beautiful little darker shade than Rose’s which only makes his grey eyes pop brighter when he looks at you. His hair was a high ponytail of Rasta braids, and his outfit was a pair of jeans and a light grey t-shirt. Rose: So this is Jake, our drummer and he has been in this band for a long! We have known each other for three years now! I smile and then she points at Trevor, a conventionally attractive man. His blue eyes are in perfect sync with his light skin tone and his somewhat blonde short hair. He has a very friendly smile and his white shirt with his dark grey pair of pants would give you the impression of a pa top student. He salutes me in a military like way and I smile. Rose: Trevor! The guitarist and one of the most likable guys you'll ever meet! Trevor: That's true! I'm adorable! Sarah: I can already tell! Rose: And last but definitely not least, the charmer of the group, our keys, Daniel! Daniel:
Damon's POV I watch Sarah walking down the stairs with my sister and it takes me all I have not to gasp like a fool allowing my eyes to stay glued on that stunning woman before me. She is a sight of beauty and grace. I can’t help but admire her even more than I was intending to. I look at her up and down, in an attempt to try and take in as much of her as I can. To think that not many days ago she was about to get sold to some perverted man who would ruin her stunning purity...and now she is here, in my house, for my eyes only even if it is for ever lasting moments. We lock eyes and I feel like a total asshole as they introduce themselves to Camille. The woman I have invited to be my date has nothing on the beauty itself that is standing before me. What takes me out of my daze is Camille leaning into me. Camille: Baby? Damon: Um, what is it? I turn to look at her, still feeling the piercing dark brown eyes of the beautiful angel on me. Camille: Aren't we going to your o
Jason's POV James: Son, I need you to behave tonight. No funny business. Jason: Relax, dad. I'll be a good boy. Actually, not really, well, it depends on the situations we are going to find ourselves in. Sierra Stillman: Are my boys ready? We need to go or we'll be late. My mother’s voice brings me out of my thoughts and I look up to find her watching approaching us with a wide smile. I feel a knot in my stomach not sure how to feel with the way my family so easily have moved on when they should have burnt Tenners and whatever they loved to the ground! James: Only Simon isn't. Simon: Wrong! I'm ready, pal! My younger brother appears in front of us with a sleepy face. Sierra: Simon! Simon: What? I smile at my brother's reaction. We and Tenner's has been like family, we practically have grown up together. I and Damon have been best friends for years but things have changed and the only thing I want is to get over the formalities and return to hating the man I once
