Victoria After a while, he pulled up to the front of Dino's and I slowly got out, basically waddling across the parking lot and going inside. "Hi, How are you?" I asked the cashier, who seemed surprised that I came in bubbly at this hour."I'm doing alright, Ma'am. What can I get you?" She asked, sitting upright and giving me a small smile."I'll have a blueberry muffin, some orange juice and a chocolate chip cookie." I told her, watching her put in my order before stepping back and allowing Ryder to get something.As he dug in his pockets for his wallet, I took that opportunity to pay with my own money. Then I grabbed my stuff and walked toward the booth I always sat in. Ryder slowly strolled over with a blank expression on his face after realizing that I had paid."You're so nice it hurts my heart." He grumbled jokingly and I laughed, grabbing my cookie from inside the bag."I can't help it." I responded honestly and he shook his head, putting cream onto his bagel."What's really

LandonMy eyes drifted to the ring on her finger before I took her hand, inspecting it. It didn't fit the same way it did before as her hands had become thinner. She'd never understand why I did the things I did or why I was so protective of her. But it was for the best.Maybe she'd understand some day or maybe she won't. But what was more important to me was her remaining safe, away from the evil that was waiting around every corner for her.I sighed, letting go of her hand and grabbing my phone before making a single call. Once I was finished I put my phone away and upon taking her hand again, noticed how hot it had become.Reaching up, I placed my hand on her forehead, confirming that her skin was burning hot. I got up and went into the bathroom, dampening a towel before bringing it back to her and placing it on her forehead.This was just another side effect that she'd have to get through and the only good thing here was that she was asleep. Adjusting her body, I placed the covers

"You sure you don't want money?" I asked playfully and he pinched my hip, only adding fuel to my laughter before I placed my lips against his cheek, looking as though I was about to kiss it but instead blowing to make a fart noise before pulling away with an accomplished smile and he stared at me for a while before he breathed out a short, deep laugh.Landon's voice was so deep at times it genuinely made me feel as though I was vibrating from across the room and whenever he was trying to speak quietly or whenever he was tired, it'd get impossibly deeper."I don't think this can fit anywhere in my house, though." I frowned, turning back to the painting and his hands landed on my hips from behind."Leave it at mine." He responded emotionlessly and I turned my head to the side to glance at him."Are you sure?" I questioned, not wanting him to feel obligated to take this large piece just because it made my house look like a dollhouse.He replied by nodding curly and I gave him a smile."T

Victoria We got out of the car and Nathan threw his arm over my shoulder and led me toward the door. People greeted us as we passed by and I honestly wasn't used to this. As we got inside, though, Nathan basically pushed me to the side as he spotted Milo walking through the crowd, cup in hand. Nathan tried going in for a hug but an annoyed Milo placed a hand on his forehead and pushed him away. He instead came over to me, hugging me tightly with a smile then taking a sip from his cup."Where's the Serial Killer?" He asked and I knew that he was referring to Landon, making me laugh."Doing what Serial Killers do, I guess." I replied jokingly and he chuckled, watching as Lana pulled a bottle of alcohol out of her purse."Um, Miss, you know there's alcohol here, right?" He gave her a weird look as he spoke, as did the rest of us and she shook her head."This is different. This is Infused." She told him and a smirk grew on his face."Damn, Mami," He chuckled, taking another sip from this

Victoria I went up the stairs which glowed red under each step, looking extremely fancy due to the design of the staircase. I went to the door at the end of the hall, knowing that Landon's room was usually in that very position. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door before I turned the handle, pushing it open just enough to look inside.The room was dark, my eyes having to adjust to that before I even tried to see. Scanning the really large bedroom, I spotted a silhouette sitting by the huge window, where you could see the city. He seemed as though he just came back from somewhere, as he wore a shirt that had been buttoned down and his tie hung loosely around his neck.He sat on a chair and was leaned all the way back, his elbow propped on the armrest and a cigarette nestled neatly between his fingers. He was looking back at me, obviously expecting me and I shut the door and walked toward him. But the closer I got, I started breaking down as the events of tonight really soaked
