Everlasting D/J AU

His head jerked to her, "You don't see her? The tall, pale, woman with Corrie's hair? She's crying."

Dita shook her head slowly, "J...no one is there."

He looked over again, frantically, he walked to her. She was watching him, blood tears streaming down her face. When he reached outto touch her his hand went through and he jumped back.

"Fuck," he whispered.

Dita looked at him, frantic, "What is it? You are SCARING me."

He stuttered, "I think it's a ghost and I think she's a vampire,' it was then he saw dita's bright green eyes staring back at her,"she has your eyes Dee. How is that possible?"

Dita held her stomach as if she was going to be sick, "Oh god....mom?"

The ghost turned towards Dee and then vanished. Juice put his arms around her.

"Show me a picture of your mom. I didn't know she was a vampire."

Dita shook her head, "Neither did I...." She pulled away, so shellshocked. She pointed at a photograph on the mantle.

Slowly, not wanting to confirm something that could crush the woman he was pretty sure he loved, he picked up the picture. Though the woman was smiling, he was sure it was her.

"This is her. She stood right here and wept blood tears," he was just as shocked.

Dita shook a little, "Oh god...oh god...." She looked so lost and confused, "I...I can't..." Before she could say more, her stomach began to clench. She covered her mouth ran to the bathroom/

Juice felt terrible, he didn't even know he could SEE ghosts. let alone vampire ghosts. He followed her and held her hair back for her.

By the time she was done, all she could do was sob; dry painful sobs full of anger, resentment, and hurt. Her body shook violently as she remained hunched over the toilet crying.

He held her, hushing her and kissing her head.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know I could see that, please stop," before he could stop himself he tortuedly sopke, "I love you, please stop crying."

She felt so lost, "She...she NEVER tried to reach me...it's not fair...."

She didn't catch what he said at the end until a few minutes past, "W-what?"

If he could blush, he would have," I love you and I'm sorry she came to me and not you. Maybe it's because I'm a vampire?"

Dita looked at him sadly, "You aren't in love with me...you just think you are...." she looked away, wiping her eyes frantically, "She could come to me if she wanted...but she doesn't want to..." She shakingly stood up, flushing the toilet again before brusting her teeth and rinsing her pale face. Her hands shook as she tried to calm down.

"I'm a vampire, we feel things differently from humans. We feel them so thoroughly there is no if, I AM in love with you Dee. And I'm sure there is an explanation. Did Cor know she was a vamp?"

Tears began to spill from her eyes again, "I'm sure she did...she hides everything about my parents from me." Sh

He held her tight, "I'm sure she had good reasons."

He kissed her forehead.

Dita's face was crestfallen, "It's me...she seemed to always favor Corrie more." She turned her face down to the floor, "I want to go to bed."

Juice shook his head, "Go talk to Cor, give her a chance to explain."

Dita shook her head, "No...please..."

He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him, "Dee, sweetheart, you haveto talk to your sister."

Dee jerked away, "Stop treating me like a child. I'm not one of those sweet butts that you used to sleep with. I don't take demands."

She walked away, knowing deep down he was right. She felt terrible then, but decided she needed to talk to her sister, she went up to her bedroom and went to open the door; finding it near impossible to move, "Cor? COR!"

Hearing Dita yell, Juice flew up the stairs and forced the door open. Furniture was everywhere. He moved the furniture blocking the bathroom and waited for Dee to open the door.
