my last day

We had woken up on the ship, stayed in bed most of the day talking. She always stayed close to me; I never went longer than a few minutes without feeling her cold skin on mine. It sent chills through me but not because of temperature, she had that affect on me.

I still hadn’t worked out when I had fallen for this girl but I wasn’t questioning it. For the first time in a long time, I care about someone.

We finally dragged ourselves out of bed and into the bathroom as we were showering; she changed, looked lost and hurt. Wanting to know why, I asked. She said she never wanted to lose me. She would have to; I would die in the end.

She had said about turning me, shock hit me. I had lost my sister a year or two before, this way and had never gotten over it. I hated them for it, taking my little sister away from me, Alicia was a vampire but I didn’t see her that way.

I agreed straight way, I wouldn’t let anything rip us apart; if I were truly dead then at least it was with the woman I loved.
