~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHAPTER TWELVE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"What's wrong with her?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RECAP:
"WHEN?! WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER?! WHEN-" My rant was halted when a pair of warm lips came crashing down on my own. My eyes widened in shock but shock quickly disappeared and I started to kiss back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. That's when common sense finally seeped in. We pulled back at the same time and immediately let go of each other.
"Um..." He started.
"U-uh..." I started, as well.
"I, u-uh, better, uh, go." He said.
"U-um, me too." We both left the closet and I walked quickly back to Jack.
"What happened? I heard yelling and then nothing."
"Um, nothing, nothing happened. We settled it." I said, biting my bottom lip. I could still feel his lips on mine and oddly, I liked it.

MY POV
~~~
Jessica, snap out of it! That was the worst kiss of your life and you did not like it.
You know you did.
You're not helping!
"Jessie, are you okay? You look like you're thinking about something really hard." Jack said, concerned.
"Is it really that easy to tell? I mean, it's nothing! Nothing at all! The kiss didn't mean- Whoops. Did I say kiss? I meant...fish!" I said, trying to make him forget I said kiss. It obviously wasn't working.
"What happened?" He asked. Once those words left his mouth I told him everything.

AIDAN'S POV
~~~
I can't believe I just did that!
You know you wished it could have been longer.
No I don't! That's crazy!
Uh huh.
Really!
Who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself?
Myself.
Exactly.
I had to get home. Well, not home home but just where we were staying. In Jess's old house. The place where her scent filled the air. That very scent that drove me crazy. God, how I wished I could just- No, stop thinking like that Aidan! That kiss was nothing. It was just a spur of the moment thing. Ya, that's it. Spur of the moment.

RYAN'S POV
~~~
Why did she look so familiar? She reminded me of one of the girls that used to work at the castle. What was her name? Ashley! Oh ya, I can't believe I used to like her. My parents would have never granted me permission to make her my mate. What would other vampires think. 'Hey, did you hear? Ryan's mating with one of his slave girls'. Ya, definitely a reputation I want. Too bad, though. She was really something. I wonder where she went though. Ugh, why am I thinking about this now? Better yet, why didn't I just do what I wanted for a change? Why didn't I just ask Ashley to be my mate?
"RYAN!"
"What?!" I asked, finally snapping out of my thoughts.
"Jeez, I've been calling your name for ages. What were you thinking about?" Kage asked, curiously.
"Um, nothing. Just my sister." I lied. Like I could tell him about my crush on a slave. I sighed inwardly. Too bad I can't, though. It'd take a big load off my shoulders.
"Hey, guys!" Aidan said, walking into the room.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well, you guys weren't at home so I tracked you down and ended up here." He explained.
"I'm back!" Jess said entering the room. But as soon as she saw Aidan she ran upstairs.
"What's wrong with her?" Kage asked.
"Not sure." Jazzy replied.
"Maybe I should check." He said.
"NO!"Aidan said quickly.
"What?" Kage asked, confused. "Why not?" He asked.
"U-um. I can. If you want." Aidan said.
Did he just stutter?

MY POV
~~~
What are they doing here? Better yet, why's Aidan here?
I groaned inwardly and plopped down onto my unmade bed.
"Why? Why now? Do you hate me or something?" I asked to no one in particular. I heard a light knock on my door and I sighed.
"It's open!" I called to the person. It took ages for the person to open the door. Well, it felt like ages. You know when in those horror movies the killer opens the door very slowly that at one point you can't take it and then- Y'know what, never mind. The door opened and it revealed Aidan.
"Uh, hi." I said, awkwardly.
"Hey." He replied.
"About the-" I started but he started saying something at the same time.
"You first." He said.
"No, you." I replied.
"Okay." He said, closing the door and sitting at the foot of my bed. "I wanted to say that the kiss meant nothing."
Ouch, talk about hitting where it hurts.
Surprisingly, he didn't hear that.
"It was just a spur of the moment thing. Totally nothing." He finished.
"Yea. It was..nothing." I struggled with that last word.
Nothing. The kiss meant nothing to him.
I had to hold back my tears. It felt like I just got stabbed in the chest.
If only it meant nothing to me, too.
"So, what were you gonna say?" Aidan asked.
"Nothing." I replied. Luckily, my voice didn't crack one bit.
"Okay." He said and then he left. Just like that. He left making me feel worse then ever. I curled up into a ball and just lay there. I stared straight at the wall. Then I just cried.

Author's Note: Talk about dramatic. How could Aidan be so harsh? Anyways, hope you liked it! Feedback, people! I need feedback. Pwease?
