CHAPTER FIVE

HAYDEN'S POV

I've grown so lonely and depressed ever since she left my late wife Azalea left this cruel world. She was my everything and my first love. She was the reason I felt excited when I opened my eyes though I never actually slept. But my life was filled with darkness. It was slowly consuming me little by little each day.

Her memories always led me to the first day I met her. We met for the first time. It feels just like yesterday.

I thought to myself as I rubbed my chiseled chin and gulped down the bottle of whisky.

My Azalea.

AUTHORS POV

Azalea Montana was a young lady with brown eyes and long brown hair. Today was going to be her third day of college and it was on a rainy day as she grasped her pink umbrella tightly.

Someone bumped into her and the umbrella got knocked out of her hands she was about to fall but strong firm hands held her by the waist.

The rain was pouring both of them.

Mm

Mm, mm

I know your favorite song

I hear it everyday

Whoever made your smile

Made it to get in my way

And every time you laugh

You make that little sound

It's just the hardest thing

To love you but not know how

So I spend all my nights in the dark and afraid

'Cause I've tried to forget you but these things just don't go away

I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me

If I didn't know better, then I would believe

We were made for each other, but I'd know the truth

You're no good for me, I'm no good for you

And I hate that you're perfect

You're perfect for me

I hate that you're perfect

You're perfect for me

What good are words when they always just get in our way

And it hurts the most just to know that you don't feel the same, the same

So sometimes I get down on my knees and I pray things will change

But life is what happens when things they don't work out our way, our way

So I spend all my nights in the dark and afraid, mm

'Cause I've tried to forget you but these things just don't go away, away

I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me

If I didn't know better, then I would believe

We were made for each other, but I'd know the truth

You're no good for me, I'm no good for you

And I hate that you're perfect

You're perfect for me (yeah, yeah, hey)

I hate that you're perfect

You're perfect for me

I hate that you're perfect

You're perfect for me

Azalea slowly opened her eyes as her lips slightly trembled. Her brown eyes met blue dark eyes as she took in his gorgeous appearance.

He had very dark hair when she blinked he smirked at her.

"Oh my gosh are you checking me out" Hayden teased Azalea's face turned red with anger she was furious.

Every boy in college knew very well that she had a short temper.

She narrowed her eyes at Hayden and released herself from his embrace: crossing her arms over her chest.

"Whatever gave you the idea that I was checking you out!" She snapped angrily and balled her hands into small fists clenching at both sides of her hips.

Hayden read her thoughts quietly and smiled to himself.

When he didn't say anything Azalea picked up her umbrella and pushed past Hayden on purpose.

"Angry bird much" he muttered under his breath and she stopped in her tracks.

She turned around and glared at him, dangerously sending daggers at him.

She looked pissed.

She scoffed and left.

Hayden smiled and ran his fingers through his messy dark hair and watched her disappear around the corner.

He sighed deeply and left.

He knew that they met for a reason Azalea belonged to him. 

BACK TO HAYDEN'S POV

Her brown eyes were like a drug I couldn't get enough of. I knew I shouldn't get close to humans but I couldn't control myself.

I couldn't stay away from her.

It was like an addiction if love was poison I'd still drink because it was like an addiction.

Things changed for the better when I saved Azalea. A couple of guys were harassing me and I had to step in because they were Crossing their limits.

I remember beating them up so badly that they never went to college for three weeks straight. 

Azalea had warmed up to me and we instantly became friends. We hung out more often and my feelings for her grew deeper.

I wanted us to be more than friends.

Six months later we started dating. I had finally managed to confess my true feelings to her and I was happy that she felt the same way.

On our graduation I proposed to her and she accepted my proposal and we eventually got married.

The vampire council was furious with me because I married a human. It was actually like a taboo here.

Humans were only considered as food to the council but Azalea meant more than to me.

She was my wife and my love.

The grand council banished me from the home I grew up in and my family supported my relationship with Azalea.

They were happy for us and they wouldn't let us fight this battle alone; they also lost the vampire world.

A month later Azalea got pregnant we were expecting our first child but unfortunately the pregnancy was taking a toll physically and emotionally.

She had lost a lot of weight and she often zoned out. My family assured me that she would be alright and she would make it along with the baby.

Let's just say vampire pregnancies were very complex and complicated and dangerous especially for mortals.

After eight months Azalea went into labor and she gave birth to a girl we decided to name her Theodora.

Azalea wasn't in a very good condition; she had lost a lot of blood and that got me worried I didn't want to lose her.

"You'll be fine my love" I said quietly while holding Azalea's hand. She gave me a weak smile and shook her head negatively.

"I can feel the hit Hayden I won't make. I've lost too much blood" she whispers softly.

" No," I said firmly.

I kissed her forehead.

" You'll make it Azalea and we'll raise our daughter together. I'll go get the doctor."

I left the room quietly.

After five minutes I came back with the doctor as he examined Azalea. Her eyes were closed, her skin was a ghostly pale white she looked like she was peacefully sleeping.

"I'm sorry Mr. Willford I'm afraid we've lost her" the doctor said quietly and left.

I was in shock.

I sat beside her and cupped both of her cheeks. 

"Honey please wake up..." I whispered.

But she never responded.

"No, no, no, you can't close your eyes right now!"

"Please don't leave me. "

" Stay."

The nurse covered her with the white bedsheets.

" You can't leave Theodora without a mother..."

I slumped to the floor.

The love of my life was gone.

"There was still hope if I just got the healer he would bring her back…"

I grabbed my car keys and left the hospital. I got into the car driving at full speed as I gulped down the alcohol.

I rubbed my eyes as headlights flashed but it was too late my car collided with another vehicle. I remember glass being shattered and everything went black.

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Love's my religion but he was my faith

Something so sacred so hard to replace

Fallin' for him was like fallin' from grace

All wrapped in one he was so many sins

Would have done anything, everything for him

And if you ask me I would do it again

No need to imagine

'Cause I know it's true

They say, "All good boys go to heaven"

But bad boys bring heaven to you

It's automatic

It's just what they do

They say, "All good boys go to heaven"

But bad boys bring heaven to you

You don't realize the power they have

Until they leave you and you want them back

Nothing in this world prepares you for that

I'm not ashamed that he wasn't the one

Had no idea what we would become

There's no regrets I just thought it was fun

No need to imagine

'Cause I know it's true

They say, "All good boys go to heaven"

But bad boys bring heaven to you

It's automatic

It's just what they do

They say, "All good boys go to heaven"

But bad boys bring heaven to you

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

I still remember the moment we met

The touch that he planted, the garden he left

I guess the rain was just half that effect

No need to imagine

'Cause I know it's true

They say, "All good boys go to heaven"

But bad boys bring heaven to you

It's automatic

It's just what they do

They say, "All good boys go to heaven"

But bad boys bring heaven to you

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh
