She couldn't believe she said that outloud. She took a deep breath and shook her head. "Alots changed Daryn..." she said softly pulling the wine bottle out. SHe tried to open it. No sucess. She got fustrated and put the bottle on the counter.
WHen it came to being alone. SHe didn't want to say that she wanted him to hold her like when they were little. "I...meant Melody." she rubbed the cats ears and went back to trying the bottle

Daryn wrinkled his nose. "I was born, but not yesterday. What's on your mind? And as for that." He took the wine bottle from her and instead of uncorking it, he grabbed the others and placed them in the fridge. "They need to be chilled first and you need something to eat before drinking." He gave her 'The Look'. The Look, was when Daryn would level his green eyes on hers, and everything in his body language dared her to challenge him. He only gave her that look when he thought she might cause damage, either to herself or the surrounding area.

"Doesn't matter whats on my friggen mind!" she snapped. She was challenging him for once. She could wait for the drink but she started putting the rest of the stuff away. She wasn't afraid of the 'stare' for once in her life. Now lets see what he'd do.
Gabriella could only remember another time when she challenged him. She ended up almost breaking her leg...
Princess turned to look at Vamp, her stare meeting his. She wasn't letting him win this time. The last time he really did he brought her to tears and heartbrake. "As for food. I'm not hungry" she said, seriously.

"Fine. Don't eat. But at least leave the alcohol be." He still looked stern, but not angry. All he did was lean against the wall and cross his arms. He didn't have to use words to fend her off, all he needed to do was watch. He learned long ago that words only made her more upset and made him angry. If he kept his cool, he'd fare much better in trying to get his point across.
The only thing he said was "It matters a lot what's on your mind."

"Don't tell me what to do Daryn" the words stung her a bit, because she was quoting him. She pulled herself up onto the counter and sat there staring at him. "It doesn'nt matter"
She picked melody up and petted her in her lap. "It doesn't matter now..like it never did. Point is i'm fine" She made sure she had her legs crossed properly like a good girl. What did she do to have her life crumble and freeze around her? She didn't know why Jason had to hit her, use her..the only thing she had now was her art.

The words struck a nerve with him but he remained calm, though he struggled to do so. "You said you weren't hungry and I'm trying to keep you from becoming an alcoholic." His eyes became colder. "And for the record, it always mattered and still does. Lying doesn't become you."
He pushed off the wall and started heading for the exit. He didn't understand why she couldn't just let their old fight go. He'd apologized for it numerous times. Stupid girls and their grudges.
Melody looked up at Gabriella and mewed as if to say 'Are you ok?' She even purred a little and placed a paw on her arm.

Gabriella rubbed the cats head. She didn't know what to do. She just wanted to curl up and cry for hours on end wishing that it would all be over. But the truth was that wasn't going to happen. Maybe she could sleep in..She shook her head no and a few tears slipped down her cheeks.
"He hits me Daryn..." she whisperd. She had dealt with more then one hit from him before. There were afew old bruises on her back.

Daryn stopped just outside the kitchen entry. He stood still for just a moment then turned to face her, his face unreadable. "He hits you." He had known that fact ever since she had come back to the hospital, and he was upset with her for not actually telling him sooner but instead he said. "What does he have on you that you can't break away from him? There has to be something."
He said in a half whisper, both to her and himself. When he focused his gaze again, his expression was filled with anger and normally he would have moved to hug her but instead he stayed anchored where he was.
"I want to kick that jock's a** straight into next year. I want to defend you from him. You don't belong to anyone, not him and certainly not me. So my right as a best friend to defend you only goes so far. I'll stay out of it unless you specifically ask. I chased you away once, I can't do it again."
He said seriously and after a moment he sighed heavily and then walked down the hall.

Gabe cuddled with the cat at that moment. She regretted sayig anything. She knew Jason had his mother, her art work, her job. But what held her back was her mothers financial aid. Her mom had heart surgery that past summer and Gabe took care of the bills. She was also paying for the house and everything else since her mom couldn't work anymore. Jason had her world in the palm of his hand.
She looked at Melody. "Why can't i just have vamp back Mells?" she kissed the kittens nose and put her down on the counter. From there she slipped off the counter and went to her room , took her robe off and slipped into bed.

Melody mewed and followed her to the bedroom, jumping up and curling up on the foot of her bed.
Daryn sat in his room, the captain's bed one. He sat the same way he did in his dad's hospital room, head in his hands and hunched over. He didn't know what to do about Princess. All he could think to do now was just wait it out. He couldn't save her if she didn't take the first step and trust him. He looked around the room then, sighed and flopped backwards on the bed. "I'm such a moron.."
He didn't sleep a wink that night so he decided to get up early and started making some breakfast. Normally he would just have cereal, but this time he decided to make pancakes. Getting the ingredients, he began mixing everything together.

As planned Gabriella stayed curled up in bed when dawn came around. Her fiery hair was wild and she was curled under a huge blanket. Somehow through the night she cuddled with Melody and Melody was laying on the crook of her back with Gabes head buried in the pillow. When it came to sleeping in, Gabe was a queen.
Gabes body was tangled in the blanket, her tanktop hand scrunched up a bit and some old bruises were exposed. They were almost gone..the light bruis on her cheek had almost faded too. The light from the bedroom window woke her, but she just stayed there.

Daryn glanced at the time and smiled slightly. Princess must be sleeping in which, he thought, was good. She needed the rest. He added some hashbrowns to a hot pan and in short time, he had made breakfast fit for royalty. He then made some toast and went searching in the fridge for some of her favorite jam.
He was shocked to find peanut butter. How long it had been there he didn't know but he removed it, tossed it and then washed his hands. Gabriella was allergic to that crap so why it was there he didn't know.
After fixing up a plate and covering it to keep the food warm, he walked quietly down the hall and opened Gabe's door. She was wrapped in a big blanket with Melody snuggled next to her. Tiptoeing to the nightstand, he left her plate there along with a mug of coffee made to her liking. glancing at part of her exposed back, he frowned at the bruises but gently pulled the blanket back up. He then snuck back out and shut the door so it was only open a crack.

Gabriella knew that Daryn had come in her room at some point. but she was in and out of a state of consiousness. Slowley her eyes opened up again as she smelt coffee. She smiled and sat up slowley..sure not to hit Melody.
She sat up and took a deep breath, reaching over to sip her coffee.

As Daryn got himself some breakfast, he thought about going swimming later, or maybe checking the storage for the canoe. He grabbed the storage keys and sat down, singing softly. A slow song he had heard recently and really liked. He would go out there as soon as he finished in the kitchen. He barely managed to get through his breakfast and even with the caffeine, he fell asleep with his head on the kitchen table, resting on his arms. The keys to the storage were still in his hand.

Gabriella was slowley waking up. She ate most of her breakfast but drank her coffee the most. She swung her legs out of the bed and stretched carefully. She got up, her hair wild, wearing a tanktop and shorts she made her way out to the kitchen for another cup and to say thank you to Daryn when she saw him.
But when she saw him, she felt bad. Another sleepless night on the vampire. She started to clea up, pulling the storage keys from his hand and cleaning the table up. She'd let him sleep. She'd move him to the bed but she wasn't strong enough. She even knew that.
