Chapter 49: Sleepover, Part 2

"Wait, you two are really a couple now?" Ellie asked.

I shrugged, unsure what to say. We hadn't really talked about being a couple, but I wasn't sure what else we were, so it seemed easier to agree with Ellie's assessment.

"Then Gina's right." Ellie smiled. "You need to give us details, girl."

I was relieved Ellie wasn't worried about me anymore, but I wasn't thrilled that they wanted a confession about Trent. I couldn't give it to them. Partly because I still didn't know everything and mostly because he'd sworn me to secrecy. I'd tell them as much as I could without telling them all the weird vampire stuff.

The rest of the ride to Ellie's house was filled with excited chitchat, and I prayed the remainder of the night would stay that way, too, that the focus would be on anything other than me and Trent. Or my horrific freak-out at the falls.

"Hi, girls. How was the movie?" Ellie's mom greeted us as soon as we got inside.
