Deadly Gorgeous Beauty
say.
    I then asked her "how did it happen?" and my
voice was practically shouting.
    She then told me that after she threw a party
at my apartment they left to go to some dance club. When she came
back home this morning she just found my apartment bursting in
flames.
    I wanted to shout more at her for being
irresponsible but then I heard her start to cry. This hurt me also
as I knew she felt really bad so I ended up being the one doing the
comforting.
    I then told her we will be ok as I still had
some money in my account and I earned a lot as a surgeon. I then
told her we will just find a hotel to stay in until I make enough
money to buy another apartment.
    To tell the truth I was practically the only
one who paid all the bills and everything as Stacy didn't want to
get a job. She said it was a waste of time. I felt so stupid for
not putting insurance on my apartment. I then asked her where she
was staying for the night and she told me at some friend's
house.
    With that said I just hanged up the phone and
I fell back on the comfy bed again thinking "My life is getting out
of control!" Then it hit me that I had left all my bank cards and
forms in the apartment meaning I could not draw any money from the
bank.
    I could also not wait for my surgeon payment
as it’s now holiday time and they had already paid me the money
which was in the bank that I could not access.
    Plus being dumb I had decided not to join an
insurance company thinking I was clever. I felt like screaming at
the top of my lungs just to get all this anger and frustration I
felt out of me.
    Suddenly Jake just came in through the door
without knocking as usual. He then told me that I needed to come
and eat lunch with him and his parents before he could drive me
home.
    At the mention of home tears started forming
in my eyes as I thought I'm now homeless. I could see that Jake was
surprised by my reaction but came and started comforting me. After
I finished crying he then asked me what's wrong so I decided to
tell him.
    I told him with tears flowing on my face,
"I've just lost my apartment!"
    Suddenly he started laughing at me and I
looked at him thinking this guy is evil. He then stopped and said
to me, "Sonia you are crying because of an apartment are you really
serious?"
    I could not believe he had just said that to
me, I wonder how he would have felt if I had burned down his
precious mansion. Now that I think about it with just how rich he
was I think he would just buy another before I could snap my
fingers.
    I angrily shouted at him with anger in my
voice, "Not all us are as rich as you and that apartment was the
only most important possession I have left of my parents."
    With the mention of my parents I started
crying again. I then felt Jake's hand brushing tears away from my
face and he then used his hands to move my face so I ended up
facing him.
    He then apologized to me "I'm really sorry
for hurting you I didn't mean to."
    "So am I forgiven." he then added sweetly
kissing my cheek.
    I looked at his face and nodded a little as I
could see he really meant it. He took a small towel and helped
clean my face. After that he asked me how I lost my apartment.
    "Stacy told me she came from some club only
to find my apartment bursting in flames."
    After I told him this I noticed his body
tense for a minute then he muttered,
    "They know."
    With those final words he rushed out of the
door with inhuman speed leaving me speechlessly staring at the
door.
    I don't know how long I stayed staring at the
door just trying to register what I've seen.
    Within 15 minutes Jake came through the door
and looked at me with a worried expression on his face. It was like
he was afraid I might just faint or jump from the window to run
away.
    I finally looked at him then I said
stuttering "you... your... your... a.... Vampire!" and He just
nodded at me.
    "But you don't exist!" I then as a matter of
fact told him.
    A small smile formed on his face as he said
with a mysterious tone to me,
