Every day someone new came to see me, and every day my condition was getting better and better. "Would you like anything?" The nurse asked. "No, thank you though," I smiled. Tonight was my last night in the hospital, and I just couldn't wait to go back home. It was around noon when I decided to sit by the window. I was out for a month, so that means it's winter. I couldn't help but watch the snow fall outside. "I bet it's cold," I whispered to myself.

I started to close my eyes as I thought about Francis. His beautiful blond hair, blue eyes, and Pale smooth skin that has obviously never changed in the last century. I trailed my hand up to my neck and felt small scars from where he had bitten me. I wonder why he stopped... what was going through his head? The feeling he gave me while he sucked my blood was a little euphoric. I had never felt so relaxed and peaceful before. All my stress and concerns in life vanished with that feeling.

I tried to think back to that night and figure out why he wasn't here. Was it something I said? I wondered. However, a memory filled my head as I thought about how I confessed something vital to him. "He couldn't have possibly understood that. I was literally on my death bed," I laughed out a little. However, that laugh started to fade away into complete horror. "Of course he likes you, he confessed," I whispered.

Wait a minute!!! I did kind of deceive him in a way. He might actually just be angry with me right now, which isn't fair since he has more of a lifetime to be angry with me, and I do not. I bit down on my lip as I thought about everything; it was mentally exhausting.

I knew that I needed to apologize to him for everything I did. However, I can't forget the fact that he did kill a lot of people. Despite some of those people being evil humans, no one should be murdered in cold blood. Maybe, he thinks I'm afraid of him? and that I do not want anything to do with him because I know what he has done? There were so many scenarios that I tried to find a solution to that my head began to spin.

I placed my hand on my forehead and held it tightly. I continued to look out of the window, wondering where Francis was and wondering what he had been doing this whole time.

There was a sudden knock at the door, and I just felt too exhausted to wheel myself over there. "Come in...." I said, annoyed. I just wanted to be alone; why are people still coming to see me? This anger I felt from the absence of Francis was enormous. I had this hole in my heart that nothing could fill. "I heard you finally woke up, and I couldn't take staying away anymore..."

My head turned around quickly from the sudden voice. My eyes widened at the sight of Francis at the door threshold, and I had no idea what to do. "Francis?..." I spoke nervously. He had flowers in his hands and a sincere smile across his face. I felt my cheeks get stained with tears as I watched him enter my hospital bedroom. "I'm sorry..." he spoke.

I stood up from my wheelchair and nearly fell, walking toward him. "You idiot, what were you thinking," I said. He quickly ran to my aid as I nearly fell over once more. "Please be careful," he begged. I looked at him angrily and pushed him away. "You have a lot of explaining to do!" I said in a demanding way.

I was about to start my lecture and string of questions, but he cut me off by pulling me in for a hug. "What are you doing? I'm mad at you," I said. "I know, but just shut up for a minute," he laughed. I was nearly about to say something, but I decided not to.

As I allowed Francis to hold me, I noticed how warm he felt. "You are so warm..." I smiled. "It's because I missed you a lot," he joked. "That doesn't make any sense...." I huffed. Francis continued to chuckle and hold me tightly. "Arthur, I need you to listen to me carefully."

Francis grabbed my cheeks and forced me to stare into his eyes. "I stopped because I couldn't allow you to die. You have made me feel more alive than I had ever felt in a whole century. I know our situation is extremely complicated, and nothing could erase what I have done to many people. I know I can't change what I am but I want to make this work somehow." He said softly.

My eyes widened as I paused to breathe. "I'm in love with you, and I know you love me too. That's why I will take however long to make sure you say it back. Even if you are super old, I will be there to hear it," He said. I separated from him and looked down. It was true; I did love him. However, I know it can't work out.

"We can't be together.... I will age and eventually die.... what will that do for you? How will that help any of us? It just can't be," I said, sadly. His eyes became sad as he tried to think of something to say. "And I don't want you to do anything you will regret...." I added.

"I won't.... but I think you are changing me for the better," he smiled. Francis placed a hand on my cheek and kissed the other. I moved my head to the side as he rested his face in the crook of my neck. "What does that even mean?" I asked. "I'm sure we will figure that out soon.... but for now, I need you to say that you will be with me. That we will work through this... together."

I felt his lips kiss my neck, on the area where his bite marks were. "Alright then... I give in," I whispered. Francis held onto one of my hands as he rested his right hand on my neck. "I love you...." he said so gently and so lovingly. "I love you too..." I smiled.

There was a sudden sharp pain in my neck. I knew exactly what he had done.... I relaxed my body and let him do whatever he wanted. The bliss overcame me as I rested my head against his hand. I placed my hand on the back of his head, feeling him start finally kiss my wounds. "It's alright..... I'm willing to trust you," I finally said. He paused for a moment and looked me in the eyes. "I'm glad you said that." He smiled. Francis leaned in close to my face, and I did the same with him.

It was a short and soft kiss that had so many feelings attached to it. I understood that we were both scared of what would come, but I hope and pray that all the faith I put into Francis won't be for anything.
