Hi, This is my first fanfiction so no harsh reviews pleeease:)

Erin sighed. She really hated maths. I mean, what was the point of learning how to add when you had calculators and algebra...when were you ever going to use it?

To make matters worse, Vlad sat on the other side of the classroom now. They had originally sat together, but based on the fact that they got no work done at all, and just spent the lesson talking, Mr Hunt had moved them. She looked across at her boyfriend who was idly fiddling with his pencil. He sensed her looking and winked at her, she smiled in return and mouthed 'I love you' making Becky who sat behind Vlad gag. All of a sudden there was a sharp knock on the door and Ms Mcauley walked in. She smiled at the class" Erin, can I have a word please?" Erin nodded and stood up "Don't worry you're not in trouble" she reassured the girl, but Erin could't help but notice the upset look of sorrow behind the eyes of her headteacher. As soon as they were out the room the smile fell and the sorrow Erin had glimpsed earlier clouded Ms Mcauleys face. She looked at Erin."I think it's better if we go in my office"

"Erin, a few hours ago your grandfather set off to London to visit his daughter. The ice on the roads was very slippery and, I'm
really sorry Erin, but, umm, but your grandfather, he ummm, well he spun out of control and he...he fell into the river."

A hundred different emotions rose to the surface. Sorrow. Anger. Loss. Hate. Hate to those who let it happen, the loss of a friend,
the anger as his death could have been prevented but most of all, utter sorrow. She loved her Grandad, he wasn't like her
parents, trying to force her to slay, he was just there. There to cheer her up with a terrible joke when she failed her first slaying
test. There to hold her when her new-born brother died even thouh the loss must have hurt him too. And most of all there to share
some of the best times with. All of that...gone. A kindly voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Do you want me to get Vlad?"

Erin nodded numbly, she needed Vlad now more than ever.

Vlad arrived a few minutes later. He came in silently and wrapped his
arms around her. Erin buried her head in his chest and cried. Sobs racked her petite body as she mourned the death of a much
loved friend. She wept for the loss of a friend and buried her head deeper in Vlads chest hoping she could just hide away from the
world and reality. Erin curled up into Vlad, away from the stares and whispers of others. The tears soaked through his shirt
seeping onto his skin but he didn't care. The important thing was that he was there for Erin as she mourned to comfort her. He
rocked her to and fro not minding the stares they got from the passing pupils. Not minding the fact that he missed his whole lunch
break. He just made sure he was there, to care for the one he loved for all of time. No matter what happens.

Ms Mcauley looked at the young couple and smiled. Any doubts she had about the sincerity of their relationship vanished. Several
people stared at the young couple outside of reception. They whispered and pointed at the couple ; not that Vlad or Erin noticed.
They were lost in their own little world.
Vlad stroked Erins hair, whispering soothing words in translyvanian in her ear. His shirt was stained with tear tracks and his skin
soaking wet. But he didn't mind. He stroked her back and whispered in her ear.
" Are you ready to go back to class yet?" erin nodded. It may seem insane, but she was tough and would make it through the
afternoon. She must.
