Chapter 19
It wasn’t easy to smuggle Nick back to the mansion. I mean, he looked like he should be dead and when you look like that, people are gonna stare at you. Not really something we needed. So we had to make it back to the mansion by sneaking through several backyards and dark alleys, but we managed with only minor disturbances, most of them being drunks who tried to get money from us.
When we finally reached the front door Nick was starting to look a little better. As much as he’d been hurt, he still had enough powers to heal. It would just take a while before he was completely healed. He was still weak when I knocked on the door. Within seconds Brian opened the door he took one look at me and then his eyes drifted to Nick who was barely standing on his own, his arm draped around my shoulder for support. A look of shock crossed his features before he turned toward me again,
“ What the hell happened? What did you do to him Angel?” he asked angrily. I gasped as I looked at him, hurt that he would think I did that. Even if it made sense.
“ I didn’t do anything but save him Brian!” I spat at him. “ If I hadn’t been looking for him tonight, he’d most likely be dead by now!”
Nick groaned as a new wave of pain rushed through his body. Brian motioned for us to come in, and he grabbed a hold of Nick’s other arm, draping it over his shoulder as Nick walked on shaky legs.
“ If you didn’t do this, then who did?” Brian asked as we had gotten Nick to lie down on a bed in his upstairs room. Nick had fallen asleep and Brian and I were now seated in the other end of the room, in front of the fireplace.
“ Joseph!” I said as I stared into the fire dancing in front of me. Brian gasped and whispered,
“ He’s back!” He sounded almost afraid. What the hell was going on? Why the hell were they all afraid of that Joseph creature?
“ What do you mean, he’s back? Where has he been?” I asked looking at him. He looked at me surprised, almost as if he’d forgotten I was there, and then he just said,
“ Oh…it’s nothing…don’t worry!”
Nothing, my ass! I knew he was lying. It wasn’t that hard to tell really. He kept trying to avoid my eyes, and that’s the first sign of lying. Believe me, I knew all about that.
“ What’s going on Brian?” I asked. I was gonna get to the bottom of this. “ Why are you all so scared every time someone mentions his name? And why did Nick tell me that he couldn’t fight Joseph? Why can’t he fight Joseph? I thought Nick was the most powerful vampire in the world!” I ranted.
“Geez Angel!” Brian said as he looked at me, “ Just…take a deep breath and calm down!”
“ Calm down? Calm down!” I yelled as I stood up, “ How the hell am I supposed to calm down when the man I love was almost killed tonight, and nobody’s willing to tell what the hell is going on!” I was pacing back and forth now, “You know what Brian? Maybe I should just find Joseph and ask him. Maybe he’ll fill me in on things!” I stopped and looked at Brian again, waiting for some sort of reaction. His expression was unreadable for a few minutes, then it changed to surprise.
“ You love him?” he asked.
I looked down on the ground, not knowing what to say.
“ Just tell me what’s going on Brian.” I finally said.
“ Answer my question!” He said. I sighed deeply.
“ Yeah…I love him! Now tell me how Joseph almost succeeded in killing Nick tonight!”
Brian looked at me for a moment before he said anything.
“I’m not surprised you know…I mean, that you love Nick…It doesn’t surprise me.” He said.
“ What do you mean?” I asked. How could he not be surprised? I was surprised!
“ I saw it coming!” he said looking into my eyes, “Remember the night you first met?”
“How could I forget.” I mumbled.
“ When he didn’t kill you…I was surprised, but then I started thinking, you know?”
“ Yeah…”
“ Well, there had to be some reason for it, so I asked him, after I’d taken you back to the park, and he just said that he wanted to have some fun first. And I believed him, but only the first couple of times.”
I looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
“ And then the night you came in here, and you talked to Nick, and he didn’t hurt you…I was sure he never would.”
“ What made you so sure?”
“ He’s never let a slayer live for more than a couple of hours if he could help it!” he said.
“ Oh…”
“ And then earlier tonight, when you came back here, and you were crying…I could see you were heartbroken…and, knowing that Nick would do anything to make you smile again, I decided to tell you were he was…and I’m glad I did!” he finished, gesturing to Nick’s sleeping form.
“ What do you mean, he would do anything to make me smile?” I asked.
“ I think I’ve known for quite a while now, that Nick has fallen for you…I just never really wanted to believe it until I saw you tonight. Angel he’s my best friend…I’d do anything to make him happy.” He sighed, “And if being with you is going to do that…then I’m not gonna stand in your way!”
I smiled. A lump was forming in my throat. I was about to cry. Again. But this time it was happy tears. Knowing that at least someone understood what I was feeling made me happier than I had been in days. Kevin could go to hell for all I cared. I was so mad at him. Why couldn’t he just be like Brian and accept whatever made me happy. I pulled Briano a o a hug.
“ Thank you.” I whispered as I dried my eyes on my sleeve.
The sappy moment was interrupted by a groan coming from Nick’s bed. We hurriedly pulled apart and ran over to sit beside him. He was waking up.
