I collapse onto my knees, "stupid, stupid, stupid!" I scream at myself, then I feel her start to take back her mind, "no, no, no I'm not done!" I exclaim but it is too late, and she is pushes me back into the dark, Sam sighs deeply now in control again "what did you do?".

April's POV

I rush back to the house and run up the stairs, I throw open my door and slam it behind me throwing myself onto my bed, how did I get myself into such a mess, where did that come from? Did I take it the wrong way, was she just messing with me and I freaked out which is way crazier than my best friend kissing me, why did I kiss her back? Why did I... like it? A million thoughts buzz around my mind making me angry and confused, I touch my lips and think of her soft lips on mine that tasted of her cherry lip gloss, I shake my head trying to forcefully remove the memory from my mind to no avail.

A knock at my door snaps me from my thoughts, I keep quiet to hide from my unexpected visitor, the knock comes again "April?" That is Colonels voice, "I'm not here" I reply hoping that will making him leave "then who just said that?" He asks with a chuckle "shit" I reply realising how dumb I truly am, I sigh and answer my door, I leave him at the doorway and flop back down on my bed again, Finnian follows behind purring as he rubs his head on Colonels leg, he smiles scratching him behind his ear, "from the door slamming and your current attitude I'd say something is up" he says and walks into the room, "and the genius award goes to..." I say sarcastically.

He takes a seat at my desk and turns the chair to face me, Finnian jumps onto the desk watching me in the same manner as Colonel, "what's up moody?" He asks trying to joke, "I'm actually having a very bizarre day that has brought unwanted drama to my life, I don’t know what to do and I don’t even understand it" I groan placing a pillow over my face, "I'm sure whatever teenage drama you're experiencing can be easily solved" he laughs and without seeing his face I know he’s judging me, "unless you've had your best friend kiss you and made you question your sexuality then I doubt it" Colonel has no comeback and from his silence I think he’s left the room, "Sam kissed you?" He asks slowly trying to figure it out as confused as I am.

"Bingo" I mumble under the pillow, "well I didn't know you're gay" he coughs awkwardly, I bolt upright "I'm not! Well I mean I don’t think I am, I'm not too sure at this point, like I was sure I was straight then she kissed me and I kind of kissed her back so now I'm not too sure" I fall over my words as I talk quickly trying to piece together everything as I speak, "I see" Colonel says being oh so very helpful.

"If you are um... gay that's not bad" he says awkwardly "I know that!" I exclaim in annoyance, "if it was any other girl things would be so much simpler, she’s dating Damon, so if I like her and it’s mutual that makes for a very uncomfortable situation" Colonel nods now understanding the dramatics of the situation.

"I'm not you so I don’t how you're feeling or what you're thinking, but you should always be true to yourself, speak to her to figure out what's going on, if it’s genuine then she needs to let her boyfriend know, if it wasn’t just a mistake she can’t keep lying to herself and to him" I nod in agreement, he may be an old guy but he didn’t judge me and spoke sense, "thanks dad" I sigh and lie back on my bed.

Out of the corner of my eye I can see the surprise and joy on Colonels face, he doesn’t express this and instead composes himself "I'll always be here for you buttercup" he tells me and leaves the room with Finnian following close behind, the nickname shakes something up inside me, a distant memory that struggles to resurface.

Sam's POV

While I was gone the other me seems to have stirred up trouble, kissing April was the worst thing she could've done, I'm not into girls and this is my body so nothing could happen with April, now I've got to somehow explain what happened without being a jerk.

"Why did you have to mess everything up?" I groan out loud, "I know what I want so I went for it, plus it's not like we have a whole lot of time" she snidely replies, I look down to my arm and sigh knowing she’s right, it's just a matter of time until the bite travels further into my blood stream and I become... one of them.

I notice April coming out of the house, she struggles to meet my eyes as she stops a few metres in front of me, "hi" I greet her unsure what else to say, "hey um I think we should talk" she says, her awkwardness is apparent "that kiss?" She asks and looks at me expectantly, "it was a mistake, I hope you didn’t think it meant anything, you know I'm with Damon" I explain falling over my words, she’s quiet for a moment "o-oh right of course a mistake, that's um that's what I was going to say, it was a big mistake" she laughs humourlessly, "well now that's cleared up I've got somewhere to be" she hurries off before I can stop her.

I immediately know that kiss meant more to her than she is letting on, did I just
