pulls
open the door. Her smile fades when she sees me, and she attempts
to slam the door in my face, but I catch it and I push my way into
her room. She slams the door and crosses her arms as she looks at
me –waiting for me to explain. I nervously push my glasses further
up my nose as I pick up the courage to speak.
    “ I’m sorry about earlier, but we really need to talk.” Rachel
presses her lips together and then she lets her hands fall to her
sides. She doesn’t look happy, but not completely mad at me either.
I feel that she might see reason, if I approach this the right way.
I can’t fully come out and tell her that Nicholas is a homicidal
vampire, but maybe I can scare her off, with a few home truths
about him. I take a seat onto her perfect pink bed and I cross my
legs as I inhale another gulp of air. Rachel wanders over and sits
down at her, shabby chic dressing table. She raises her eyebrows as
she encourages me to start the conversation.
    “ You said you wanted to talk, so talk.” I nod at her and then I
begin.
    “ I know that you’re mad at me and that you think I’m trying to
ruin your life, but I only asked you stay away from Nicholas
because I care about you. Dalton has told me about things that he
has done, evil things that would scare the hell outta you. I don’t
want you to get hurt, so I’m asking you to please stay away from
him.” Rachel narrows her eyes as she drums her fingers onto the
glass surface of the dresser. I can tell that she is considering my
words, but I also know that she will find flaws with what I am
asking her to do. Rachel can be very inquisitive and pushy; I know
that she won’t back down easily.
    “ I don’t get it, what has he done, anyways?” Here it is –her
questions. I take another deep breath –think Rose.
    “ A long time ago, he forced Dalton into doing something that
would change his life, forever.”
    “ If it was long time ago, then why doesn’t Dalton just get over
it?” I sigh –I am fighting a losing battle.
    “ I guess some things are just too hard to get over. But, you
have to trust me, Nicholas is bad news.” Rachel pouts her lips and
she exhales. Her eyes soften –has she seen the light?
    “ Fine, I’ll stay away from him, he’s far too old anyways.” I
sigh in relief –thank god she agreed to stay away from him, its
paralyzing to think what could have happened if she
hadn’t.
    “ Thanks, now can I borrow an outfit?” I ask as I flash a
massive smile at her. Rachel presses her eyebrows together in a
line and she scowls as she takes in my plain appearance. She lunges
from the seat and she rushes over to her closet. She pulls open the
doors and her hands gently graze her hips as she scans her clothes.
Rachel pulls out a pink dress, that’s short and far too low cut.
She holds it up to me and I shake my head as I decline her choice.
Rachel rolls her eyes and she hangs the dress back onto the
railing. She rummages for another few moments and then she pulls
out a soft lavender mini dress. She walks over and hands me the
dress.
    “ This isn’t my kind of thing,” I say as I gently stroke the
silky fabric.
    “ Rose, just put the dress on!” Rachel exclaims.
    “ Fine!” I shout back at her. Rachel laughs at me as I head over
to the door. I smile back her and then I make my way back towards
my room. I burst into the room and I instantly rush over to my
dresser –my phone is ringing. My heart starts to pound, but it
slows when I see that it’s Ryan who is calling me.
    “ Hey Ryan,” I say as I hold the phone to my ear –undressing as
I talk.
    “ Hey girl, I was checking that you’re stilling coming tonight,
you are still coming, right?” I laugh at Ryan’s words and then I
reassure him that I will be there tonight.
    “ Yes I’m still coming; I wouldn’t miss Charlene’s
birthday.”
    “ Good, now we’re meeting in the usual place, Tony’s at seven,
okay?” I roll my eyes as the silky fabric collides with my skin
