"I wanted to, but I just needed to get some answers first."
"Answers? You are moving back toRomania ! I don't want you to leave." I clutched my boyfriend for dear life.
"I know," he said, holding me tight. "I don't either- that's why I'm trying to figure out something."
"Why do you have to move back now?" I asked, staring up into his soft brown eyes. "After all we've been through? When we have finally gotten theMaxwells off yours, mine, and Dullsville's back? This is the thanks you get?"
"That's exactly why it's time for me to return home- according to my parents. By reuniting Valentine with his brotherJagger , I ended our family feud. Now my parents want me to return toRomania so we Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter,can be a family again."
"Your life is here now!"
"I know. I've tried to explain. And just as bad, they see no reason to keep the Mansion. So now I really have nowhere to go!"
"You'll stay here and live with me. My parents won't mind."
"I can't do that-then they'll know..."
Alexander had a point. If Alexander slept under the same roof as my parents, there would be no way to hide that he'd be sleeping during the day in a coffin.
"What are we going to do? You can't leave, Alexander. Let me talk to them. Once they see my side-"
"I'm not sure they can be convinced. I've tried everything. Yelling, sulking. I am their son. They want me with them. I can respect that. But they are ruining my life."
"And mine! They can't do this, Alexander! I love you!"
I held on to Alexander hard and sobbed uncontrollably. "I understand why they miss you-they love you as much as I do. But why can't they just live here?"
"Because their business is inEurope .And they want us to be around our kind. The reason they sent me here was because it was isolated, and it's now the reason they want me home."
"You aren't isolated anymore. You've gone to dances and dinners and dates. Can't they see how much you've thrived in such a short time?"
"I've tried to explain it to them. I'm not sure they see it,
though. They're old school."
"I never realized that my biggest conflict in our relationship wouldn't be me being a mortal and you a vampire, or revenge from some bloodsucking white-haired immortal, but your sweet parents."
Alexander wassilent .
"It's me- "I collapsed in front of a tombstone. "If I were like Luna, from a vampire family, then they'd approve of me."
"They adore you."
"But I'm not a vampire.Romania is half a world away. I can't live a second without you-much less an eternity!"
"Iknow, me neither."
"Then tell them you won't go!" '
"I have."
"And what did they say?"
"That my home is inRomania ."
"I'm going to talk to them," I said vehemently, rising from the ground. "Let's go now. When they see how much my life will be destroyed without you, they might change their mind."
But Alexander didn't move. Instead he pulled me to him and held me close as I continued to sob.
