chapter 17 : More Vampires

Alexander sat beneath a tree since it was the daytime. He motioned for Becca to sit next to him. When she didn��t move an inch, he said, ��Let��s sit and hear your childhood story, shall we?�� She gave a curt smile and made her way to sit next to him. She sat and looked up at the bright sky. ��I didn��t have a happy childhood; rather it was a pretty rough one.�� She started saying, ��My mom died while giving birth to me. Since then, Dad has been raising me on his own and he is the only family I have left, which is why I obey him all the time. I can��t lose the only family I have.�� ��No wonder why you don��t ever argue with him,�� he mumbled. She failed to understand what he meant, so she continued, ��Dad never talks to me properly. He always says hurtful things to me. For him, I could never make proper friends.�� ��Is that why you were eager to be friends with me and Lucas?�� questioned Alexander. She nodded and said softly, ��Yes. I am sorry for forcing you into this friendship.
