Fictional Boyfriend #43

I really enjoyed The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith and decided to give her other series Night World a chance... Night World isn't really a series that you would think. Ya know how usually in series it's just a continuation of the book before? Well basically each book is made up of three stories that have to do with creatures who broke the rules of Night World, but the characters in each story are different. They may be mentioned in one of the other stories, but otherwise it is not a continuation. Hmmm I wonder if that is a good enough explanation :/.

Anyways, I decided to pick a guy from Night World: Secret Vampire named James. He befriended Poppy when they were in like Kindergarten and were best friends ever since. He always made it clear to Poppy though that they were just friends. When they got into their teens, James started dating girls and would normally have like seven girlfriends a year or something to that ridiculous amount. Meanwhile, Poppy would sit on the sidelines, jealous of each girl that got the chance to go out with him, but also falling deeper and deeper in love with him with each passing day.

During the summer between Junior and Senior year at high school, Poppy is diagnosed with terminal cancer and is pretty much awaiting her death. James then decides to show Poppy his true feelings for her as well as show her a way to escape death.

James is a vampire if you haven't already figured it out. He had that many girlfriends so that he could feed off of them until he felt a weak bond forming with them. Then he would break up with them. He used compulsion to make them forget that he even fed off of them in the first place. He never went out with Poppy because he didn't want her to be used like that. He just loved her too much. It was actually rather romantic.

Thankfully, Poppy gets changed into a vampire by the exchanging of blood. It's all rather facisnating. Now off to read more of that book so I can add more characters to this list :D
