Chapter 60 Enemy

• The silence in the room was loud and the intensity was palpable as his words registered. The flames from the fireplace cast shadows along the room, but all I could think about was that this had to be a joke. I blinked and turned my head to the side so I could get a better look at him. Beautiful brown eyes turned and stared back, an unyielding truth in them. I shook my head and chuckled. This was absurd.
• There was no way Levi was a vampire. It was impossible. If anyone should have known that he was hiding something this big, I would know. No, he couldn’t be a vampire. He couldn’t be anything but what I’ve always known him as. Because if this was true, Levi had been lying to me his entire life. Levi was the one person I had who had never lied to me. He was the one solid thing in my life. He was the one person I could always depend on.
• Even during the time we weren’t talking, I knew without a doubt that if I needed to, I could talk to him. What stopped me was the insecure thoughts I had. I thought I had done something to deserve losing him as a friend. This revelation felt like a slap in the face, it felt as if it put Levi in the space category as the others. That’s why this couldn’t be true. There hadn’t been any signs that he wasn’t human. How could I have missed that my best friend was a vampire?
