Victoria: Return of the Blackwater (Vampire RomCom)

End-of-Summer Party!

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!--" that dream again. What did I tell you Vicky. No. Sleeping. In. The. Tub. Ugh!

"Vicky? Pumpkin! Are you all right? What's happening in there honey?" Yep. That's my mom. She thinks I'm a pumpkin. No Seriously, she does!

"I'm okay! I uh-- just saw a big spider, like...really big. But it's dead now! You can stop destroying my door!" Yes. I lied, I know...but I don't know exactly know how to tell my mom that I get the same terrifying dream every time I take a dip in the bath tub. I don't want her to think that her daughter's gone nuts.

"Okay...I'm just worried. This is not exactly the first time I heard you screaming in there honey." And each time she asks me what's wrong I always give an entirely different reason. Like a spider or a rat...but never about my dream.

"I'm really fine. You can go and make-out with Henry now!" Yep. My mom is a slut. No, I'm just kidding. "Okay! Okay! I'm just worried, you don't have to take it on my fiancé!"

She and her boyfriend, Henry, is engaged for like six months now and they're very happy. I'm happy for my mom too, I've never seen her this happy after my dad died and I think it's for the best. I love my dad but he's been dead for like five years now and I think it's finally time for us to move on.

And it's time for me to move out from this tub. Brrrr.

I'm kind of battling with myself if I should go to Celine's party or just stay home and drown myself with tears while stuffing my face with chocolate praline ice cream. Nah. Maybe I should go and get totally wasted then make-out with some random hot guy. Ohhhh...Sounds like a good plan.

This day is supposed to fun but last night my mom and her Greek-god-looking boyfriend dropped some terrible news for me, they're getting married and we're going to live with him! It's not that I don't like Henry, he's a great guy but it's my senior year for crying out loud and what am I gonna tell my friends? That I'm going away and moving to the very lively and awesome Ohio? Oh god! Take me away now!

"Vicky! Melissa is here! Don't make her wait pumpkin!"

"Okay! I'll be down in a minute! And please stop calling me that!" ugh! She always treat me like I'm still her little girl! Maybe I should get a boyfriend so she would stop calling me that? Hmmm.

Oh shoot! Melissa! I guess I'm going to that party then. I'll just tell them when the party's over, well if everyone's still sober.

"See you later mom! Bye Henry!" I never even bothered to look at them, my mom and Henry have been cuddly all night in the couch, yuck! "...and get a room you guys"

"Have fun...!" I closed the door behind me before my mom could even say pumpkin one more time.

"Hey V!" Melissa is so busy painting her lips like it's a piece of artwork, she didn't even look at me.

"Hey Mel! Whats with the make-up? Aren't we going to a pool party?" well even if we go to some funeral I know she will still be dolled up, so I don't really know why I asked her that.

"Well, we are, but Zack is gonna be there and I don't want to look like a ghost when he sees me" well honestly even without make-up Melissa is still going to be the center of attention. She has big blue sparkly eyes, curly blonde hair and perfect teeth. Well, not to mention that she has a killer body and an amazing rack. Sometimes I even question myself, why did I become her best-friend? Unlike her, I consider myself quite average and I may have only worn make-up during our third-grade play when I portrayed as the queen of hearts but other than that I don't recall wearing a mascara. Ever.
