After that day I got Bebe's number, we started to hang out a lot.
We always met in the park, and then we did a lot of fun stuff together.
And I liked to be with her. She was crazy and nothing was boring with her.
She even helped me forget about Emma for a while, but the thought of her were always in the back of my mind.
But I was happy to have her as a friend.
One morning she called.
"Hello there," I said. "What's going on?"
"C.. can I come over..?" she asked, her voice were all shaky.
"Yeah, of course. What's wrong?" I asked.
But instead of answer, she hung up.
A few minutes later, she stood outside my door.
"Something terrible has happened.." she said as she stepped through the door.
She looked more pale than usual, and her eyes glowed white.
"Whatever it is, we can fix it..." I said and hugged her.
She sobbed into my fake leather jacket and I could feel her nodding.
We sat down in the couch in my house.
"You remember Tori? The girl who took my files? I didn't knew this, but she was... is a vampire." she began. "And don't freak out yet!" she said fast when she saw my shocked face. "I haven't even told you the worst part. Well, the worst part is... she wanted revenge. So today she came into my office, and before I even got the chance to run, she pounced on me and bite my neck. You can see it as a rape."
I stared at her for a few seconds. "Vampire..?" I said and frowned. "So you are now a..."
"Vampire. Yes." she cut off. "And the only elixir costs §3000 I think.."
"Holy.. COW!" I said. "§3000? That's a lot of money!"
"I know..." she started sobbing again. "But I don't want to be a vampire... I want to be out in the sun for forever..."
"You're not sparkling in the sunlight?" I asked slowly. "Are you?"
She snorted with laughter. "Not really, no. I die, I think."
"You know what?" I said and picked up my wallet from my pocket. "I pay §1500 and so do you. What do you think?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took some time to convince her that I did the right thing, but at last she went along with it.
And with the order from me to stay at my house, I took a cab to the science lab.
When I got home again I found her sleeping on the couch.
Poor girl...
I sat down and just watched her sleeping. She looked so peaceful. She was always so crazy and jumpy but now when she slept here on my couch... she was so... she was so beautiful.
Suddenly she yawned and sat up in the couch.
I jumped up from my couch as fast as I could. I didn't want her to know I'd been watching her sleeping.
"Oh, you're back.." she said sleepy.
"Yeah, and I got a little gift for you." I said with a grin, holding up the elixir, wrapped into white paper.
"Oh, for ME?" She said, overenthusiastic. "How unexpected!"
"You're a terrible actress." I grinned.
"One thing before you drink it!" I said. "They said there's 50% chance of getting all blue and you'll not be able to eat mac n' cheese for the rest of your life!"
"You're so funny." Bebe said short, but I could see a smile hidden behind her stone face.
She raised the bottle to her mouth and took a sip.
Then she actually started to sparkle red.
And a half second later, my old friend Bebe with those almost black eyes, stood in front of me.
"Thank you so, so much!" she said, hugging me.
"No prob..." I began but I got interrupted by her lips pressing against mine.
My whole world just stopped. I didn't know what to do, so I just stood there. I don't know how many feelings welled through my veins, but one thing I knew for sure, it felt like we stood there forever.
Not that I didn't like it.
But it ended as fast as it had begun. She stared at me like a scared rabbit for a few seconds, before turning around and running out through the door.
I just stood there. On the same spot. Looking after her.
When I finally could move, I went to the bathroom. I looked into the mirror. I looked at myself and wondered if it was this shocked face she'd seen when she ran out.
Probably.
I looked at my lips. She'd kissed me.
And it was the best kiss I have ever had.
