Alex POV

                           **

I was very scared as I pressed the door bell of Hayley's apartment. 

A thousand and one negative thoughts hovered in my head. 

What if she was already dead? 

I would never forgive Adam.. Or whatever his name was! 

A young butler opened the door for me. That was weird cause Hayley never believed in keeping maids or gardeners.. She always felt like she could handle everything. 

"Hello miss"

He said, I smiled nervously.

"Hey,  I'm here to see Hayley"

I watched him look at me. 

I sighed, "please can you let me in? "

I was becoming extremely inpatient. 

"John, what is going on? "

I heard a deep voice growl in British accent. 

I looked over John, hoping to see the speaker. 

He walked past John and stood in front of me. 

"Who are you? "

He asked me, I felt my heart beat faster. 

His pale white skin and almost colorless eyes gave him a vampire look. 

And I loved vampires! 

I suddenly remembered I was asked a question when I saw his left brow raise. 

"I'm Alex, I'm here to see Hayley.. I'm her employee"

His eyes narrowed, it was almost like he didn't believe me. 

I frowned as I reached for my small bag. 

"I could show you my ID"

He hand held my shoulder. 

I jerked up immediately. 

He seemed to notice my discomfort cause he smiled nervously to. 

"I'm so sorry. Well there's no need for that, you can come in"

"Thanks"

I blurted as I walked into the house. 

I had never been in here. Despite working with Hayley for four years. 

"She's in her room upstairs"

He said, as he walked behind me.

He led me to the staircase and I let him walk ahead of me. 

We got to the front of a black wooden door and he opened it slowly. 

My eyes scanned the bright room. 

The walls were polished with white paint, the curtains were white, even the furniture was white. 

My eyes met the small bed in the middle of the room. 

Hayley lay there. 

Covered in white sheets. 

I couldn't recognize my lovely Hayley. 

Her long dark hair was now a pale and short joke. 

Her blue round eyes were now buried deep in her skull. 

She looked so frail, so weak.. 

She looked.. Dead. 

Tears suddenly escaped my eyes. 

I rushed to meet her on the bed. 

"Hayley"

I cried as I sat by her bed, holding her hand. 

Her eyes opened slowly. 

" Alex? "

I smiled sadly. 

"Its me Hayley,  I came as suddenly as I heard"

She smiled as she caressed my left cheek. 

"Have you met my grandson? "

The guy at the door was Adams! 

The reason I almost never saw Hayley! 

I frowned, "yes, we've met"

She nodded. 

"He's a rather dashing young man. Don't you think? "

I nodded 

"He sure is"

I watched her eyes close. 

"My time has come Hayley"

I gripped her hands

"Don't say that Hayley, please "

Hayley looked up at me. 

"Do well my dear, I'll be proud of you "

She said as she closed her eyes, to sleep I guess. 

"I need to rest now my dear "

I sniffed, in attempt to force my tears back in. 

"Please don't die Hayley"

She smiled. 

"I'll try"

With that, I kissed her forehead as I stood up. 

"I'll be back Hayley"

I saw her nod. 

As I opened her room door I heard her say.. 

"I'll be waiting.. Alive"

I smiled.
