we stood in line at A&W, Alexander smiling slightly, his arm wrapped around my waist. i stared up at him, my brown eyed gaze meeting his green eyed stare. i heard small whispers of awe behind me, my peers. i heard tabitha's tiny voice whisper "she's so skinny," and i couldnt help it, the once small smile turned into a full blown grin. i felt a tapp on my shoulder, Alexander turned around and i did too. Tabitha stood behind me, her skinny arms half extended to hug me or maybe she couldnt put them down...
"carlie?" she asked, using my old name, the only one she knew.
"i dont go by that name anymore," i said seethingly. Tabitha had always loved to piss me off, always loved to cause problems. i wasnt about to let her cause problems again. i stared at the table of my old classmates from sylvan. Autumn ,the compulsive liar and slut. Rachel, the b***h and the follower, not to mention her problems with head-game-playing... Keylanie, the sweetheart. Stephanie, the bigger-french- whore. Elora, the annoying immature childlike weirdo. They all stared at me, shock and awe plain on their faces.
"what happened?" she questioned. i wanted to shove my hand down her throat and grab her heart, squeeze it 'till it popped and watch her die. alexander, quiet and thoughtful so far, stiffened and his arm tightened around me.
"i changed, now go play your head games with someone your own age." i hissed seethingly. she flinched back at the hatred in my voice and a tiny voice in my head whispered that i should just ignore her, pretend like she didnt exist. that voice was greatly overshadowed by the furious voice that screamed for me to just smack her.
"calm," Alexander whispered, sending a wave of serentity through me. i took a deep breath and stared back at Tabitha.
she was staring at Alexander with "i've got a crush on you now," eyes.
"his name is alexander and he's mine." i told her, listening to the posesive edge in my voice.
"n-nice to meet you," she held out her hand, i stared at it as if i might bite it off.
i very much wanted to.
she saw my infuruated gaze and quickly dropped her hand.
"sorry," she whispered.
Alexander, feeling the tension in my body and the mounting negative emotions, turned me toward him and crushed my body to his, pulling my face around and pressing his lips to mine, sending a wave of electricity through my body. i wrapped my arms around his neck and melted into his body, forgetting everything...the time...the place...the clothes on my back. i wanted to crawl inside him and snuggle against his heart...
someone cleared her throat.
i unwillingly pulledmy mouth away from Alexander, he chuckled, still holding me tight against him.
"your orders?" the woman from the counter asked, her soft blue eyes locked on alexander, her intrest wasnt even remotley threatining.
he was mine. and only mine.
the lady, ashlee, handed Alexander his strawberry milkshake and my vanilla.
"thank you," i said perkily, flashing a wide perfect smile.
Alexander led me to the very back of the fast food resturaunt, holding my hand tightly in his. he picked a table in the very back, the kind that are so secluded you could do the chicken dance and sing the opera and no one would see or hear you. we took our seats, i sat on the other side of the table, too irritated to think about whether or not i was hurting his feelings.
probably not.
i sucked on the straw, but quickly gave up, my patience thinning. i pushed the milkshake away and rested my chin on my hand.
"whats wrong?" Alexander asked, touching my hand gently with his fingertips.
"shush. im thinking..." i told him quietly, shifting my eyes to his. his exspression startled me. his eyebrows were set angrily over his green eyes, his pale pink lips twisted into a teeth-baring grimace.
he was murderousley angry.
i gasped and clutched his hand, now twisted into a fist, trying to grab his attention. for he was not looking at me, his enraged eyes rested on someone else entirely. i followed his gaze and my heart broke into a sprint.
it was stupid, beyond stupid, for me to react like this, the blood coloring my cheeks and my heart grinding against my ribcage, pulsing adrenaline through my body. i hated the way my body reacted, it would only look that much worse to Alexander. i hated him.
Donovan.
the guy that had stolen away anything innocent about me, who had talked about me behind my back and called me a b***h and a whore...
i didnt have sex with him, god no. his disgusting oily hair, the way his beady s**t brown eyes were sarcastically alight with sexual excitment. a sex-crazed man whore. the acne that covered his face, everything about him disgusted me, losered his way out of my pants.
Donovan actually had the nerve to start walking over here.
Alexander hissed. i hurriedly stood up and took the seat next to my boyfriend.i wrapped my arm around his and kissed him passionatley, trying to calm him down.
" be calm, i hate him too," i told him, trying to hold his gaze, but he just wouldnt look at me, he was fixated on Donovan. he took a deep breath and we turned around to face him.
donowhore, my nickname for him, eyed us both, his exspression pained and speculative.
he looked about the same as when i had last seen him,ugly and ******** irritating to look at. he was cocky. my heart wasnt thundering anymore, it was slow ,causing the blush to fade from my cheeks. instead of whatever emotion that was earlier, i felt a strong hatred, the musles in my body flexed and yearned for my fist to connect with his cheek. a dim memory, me slapping the ******** right outta him when i was fourteen. i chuckled once without humor."carlie?" he asked, the second person today. i sighed and manipulated my features to look in love, but distant, "yah...go away." i said acidley, the hatred bubbling to the surface. i almost screamed at him."it's really you?"he asked, his beady eyes scanning my body, oogling my fully developed chest. he crossed the line, my left hand flashed out and whipped hard and strong across his face, my palm stung with the excessive force. he stared at me, the bright red mark i left was a victory on its own. "i said, go the hell away you creeper." Donovan flinched and did something totally obnoxious that made me want to wring hs neck. he took the seat across from us, the worst thing about him was that he didnt take no for an answer.
"who's this?" he asked, jerking his pimply chin in Alexanders direction. "my boyfriend," i said excitedley, beaming up at said boyfriend. Alexander caught on quickly and took my face in his hands, gently but roughly, he kissed me. moving his lips with mine. i clutched myself closer to him and twisted my fingers in his hair, he moaned quietly, sending heat across my body. he started the kiss, and he had to end it. he pulled away gently and stared at me with shining eyes. i snuggled against him and stared happily at the man whore, not allowing him to ruin the moment. his eyes were wide and staring, i saw the hurt there, the pain.and it brought me great happiness. i giggled. "does it hurt you? to see that im actually happy?" i asked, still grinning widley. he ignored my question and asked one in return. shifting his souless eyes to Alexander, who kept playing with my hair.
"has she made love to you?" he asked. my jaw dropped. i almost, almost, reached across the tiny table. it would not be hard for me to take his neck between my hands and snap it. "what the ********? how is that any of your buissness?!" i all but shrieked. Alexander held me back and smirked. i lost the heat, he took the fight right out of me. "yes, and its amazing what she can do. its really to bad that you missed out. now, didnt izabella tell you to leave?" confusion swept across donovans face, but understanding quickly took its place. he started to get out of the booth, but turned towards me before he did.
"i always knew you were a whore and a skank. ******** off." he said, then he got up and walked swiftly away from the table.
i stared furiousley at Donovan, my vision took on a red tint, my heart thudded aratically and fueled my anger. i snarled under my breath and edged towards Donovan, i craved his death.Alexander held me tightly just then and restrained me, his arms wrapping around mine like pythons, constricting and protecting."lets go home." he told me quietly. i sighed and relaxed, that sounded great. he pulled me out to his car and drove us to his house, he was quiet the whole drive there. the whole fourty five minutes. he took my hand and led me up to his room, laying me down on the bed and continuing to stalk across his room, looking for something. "Alex?" i asked, he ignored me. "alexander!" i demanded. he still didnt listen, he only shook his head and started to digg through his drawers. "ugh!" i groaned, crawling under the covers and flipping them over my head, he didnt come over to draw the sheets back, like he usually would. i got impatient after twenty minutes and pulled them off.the first thing i noticed was that Alexander had left the room, but as my gaze focused, i gasped in surprise. candles and lavender incense filled my senses. purple candels, all different shades of purple, drew my attention , i counted them, twenty candles in his abnormally large bedroom, two incense lit and a huge portrait of myself and alexander. i was in a beautiful intricate dress, alexander was holding my waist, his chin resting on my shoulder. "is that me? and you?'' i asked as alexander walked back into the room, only wearing his black jeans. i marveled over the sheer beauty of him, of his body. i pulled him closer and ran my hand up his stomach, he shivered and hopped into the bed, rolling me over so that i was sitting on top of him. i giggled.
"i have something for you," he whispered. his normally pale skin was flushed and his eyes were excited, he was blushing? i pondered over this while he pulled something out of his pocket."here," he said gently, holding out a tiny velvet box.
my breath caught in my throat, my cheeks flamed and my heart broke into a sprint. i took the little box and pinched the top of the lid between my index finger and my thumb.
"well, open it then."he urged, i chuckled nervousley. i popped it open and held my breath, but it wasnt necassary. because i gasped aloud when i saw the little purple gems, woven together into two bats. the glistening purple stones were melted into the black vampire fangs, connected to a long thin black chain. it was undisbutably the most beautiful gift i'd ever recieved. "oh Alexander!" i squealed, bouncing on top of him. his face burned a brighter red and i immediatly stopped bouncing. "you like it?" he asked, his voice rough. i laughed and kissed him. "yes i like it! i love it! it's beautiful!" i squealed again, detaching the necklace from the box and holding the delicate chain in my hand. "so beautiful..." i murmured. Alexander sat up and clamped it around my neck, it hung just above my breast. "what do you think?" i asked, flaunting my necklace (and my boobs). he smiled and pulled me toward him."i think your beautiful." he whispered. Alexander stared longingly into my eyes and his arms turned into iron rods around my waist. he kissed me roughly, hard. his hands were all over me, feeling every inch of my bdy with his groping fingers. my fingers twisted in his long black hair and clutched him closer to me. "Alexander," i murmured as he rolled gently, pressing my back onto the bed. he laced his fingers in mine and rubbed against me, i moaned. "do...do you want...to?" he asked. i couldnt respond with words. my heart was jackhammering in my chest, too loud. i was sure he could hear it. instead of answering i pressed my body closer to his and grinded against him. his reaction was immediate. i pulled my shirt off and he tore of his jeans. everything was off in an instant, one moment i was fully dressed the next i was naked. my legs were opened but all action had stopped. Alexander was looking down at me, judging on whether or not i was ready. my breath was coming in fast and hard. "are you sure, you had a rough day..." he asked. i groaned and lifted my hips. and he was inside me. thrusting his body against mine. i grinded with him and we made love until our worlds exploded with passion.
Revenge
I kissed Alexander on his cheek and took one last look at his peacefull sleeping form, smiling to myself. i opened the window and jumped, feeling the air whistle by my body. my feet touched the ground and i listened closley, Alexanders light snore picked up again. i laughed and felt the ache in my neck. i touched the small bite wounds, where his fangs had left. "ouch," i muttered, though i had left a mark on him just like it. i sighed and took off, my legs swiftly moving to my advantage. i laughed as i streaked through the streets, an arrow arching from its bow. i inhaled deeply and found the scent i was trying to find, it was time for my revenge. i bounded up into the trees and made one huge leap onto the apartment building i was looking for. i lept down onto the patio and fumbled with the lock to the backdoor until it popped open. i smiled widley. thankfully, mercifully, the sliding glass door made no noise when i crept through. the small apartment was familiar, yet, detracting. i hated it, yet it held so many memories. i shook my head and banished the pleasent thoughts from my head. i tiptoed in a low crouch to his room. Donovans room. my feet made no noise, no warning that i was coming, marking the time for his demise. i opened the door to his room and quietly stepped inside, shutting it tightly behind me. A tiny voice inside my head shouted that this was a very bad idea, murder should not be contemplated! she screamed, it constitutes a risk! Alexander said no risk's! Alexanders face washed through my mind, how disapointed he would be if i took Donovans life...
"hello?" donovan muttered, sitting up straight. all thoughts of Alexander's disapointment disapeared from my mind. my only focus was stealing the life away from Donovan.
"hello, donovan." i said seductivley. his eyes widened and he kicked his feet over the edge of the bed.
"carlie?" he asked, a smile in his voice. i flashed my teeth, a wide grin stretching across my face.
"yes," i slightly moaned. i knew how to work men, how to make them praise the ground you walked on.
i also knew how to make them come for you. in more ways than one.
he was standing in front of me now, i could feel the bulge in his boxer shorts. a sarcastic smile spread across my face.
"oh donovan," i whispered, throwing my self at him. i made sure to slightly but gently rub against the bulge in his pants.
he groaned.
i almost burst into loud spasms of laughter, this was just too easy. and i wanted a challenge. oh well, i thought. this will do. he groped along my body, his hands pulling at the clothes on my body. i screamed internally in disgust and tilted my head back, pretending to crave what ever he was going to give me. he ground his body against mine and groaned again.
"oh yes, donovan," i purred. did i detect a false note in my facade? why yes, yes i did. i giggled when he kissed down my neck, but it was not the kisses that made me giggle, it was the sheer idiocy of this sex driven boy. he groaned loudley and i opened my mouth widley, stretching my head and sinking my teeth into his flesh. i flew to the bed and sat on top of him, pressing my other hand over his mouth to stop the screams he was attempting. he struggled but he did not hit me, it was almost like this was pleasurable for him. i sank my teeth in further, biting down harder, and began to drink the blood that oozed from the wound. soon, too soon, his struggles became more and more feeble, his body grew limp and his heart began to slow. i stopped then and sat up. i did not wipe the blood from my lips. Donovan stared up at me with panic in his eyes. i felt the growing power in my eyes, i saw it in his. "you will never date any girl ever again, you will never tell anyone of this incident, and you will never lie again. you will not speak to anyone, you will get rid of your phone, you will never have kids and you will never speak to a girl again. and you cant be gay either, i sentense you to spend the rest of your life alone. am i understood?" i asked. there was no panic in his eyes, only a dull stare. he nodded. i smiled and kissed his cheek, licking off the blood that was left there. i pulled on my clothes and walked to the bathroom, wiping off the blood and washing my face. i used a toothbrush, a new one i had brought with me, and brushed my teeth until i could no longer taste him in my mouth. i pulled my hair into a pony tail and sighed. i hoped this didnt count as cheating...
"there, all better." i sighed. i walked back into donovans room and was not surprised to see him laying in the same position i had left him in. he was still bulging. "quit being horny," i demanded and his c**k sank. "good, now get up." he did as i told him and stood, like a dead man, in front of me."want a kiss donnie?" i asked sarcastically. he shook his head yes and i snorted."no, now go cut yourself." he nodded without a word and pulled a razor from his drawer, he held it against the vein in his wrist and waited."not there you idiot, here," i pointed to the crease in his elbow. he did as i told him and sliced. "stop at one hundred and fifty." i told him. he kept going and i smiled to myself as i walked out of the room and glided towards the back door. i jumped off the patio and a crazy impulse made me stare up into donovans window. i fought back a shudder of disgust. he was watching me depart while he cut himself. i almost felt bad, but then everything he'd ever said to me or about me sounded in my ears. it was nothing less than what he deserved. i flashed the peace sign and ran away quickly, streaking through the streets like i did before. my cell phone vibrated and i looked at the caller I.D, Alexander was calling. i flipped it open and answered, "hi sweetheart!"i said enthusiastically, he did not sound pleased. "where are you? it doesnt feel good to wake up and you not be here...thats one of the things i look forward to..." i smiled. "aw, hunny i just went out for a snack. i got thirsty and had to come and find a delectable human." i chuckled darkly. "oh, well where are you?" he asked again, i sighed and looked around. "um...sylvan, the one next to the goodwill store, about ten minutes from your house. i mean our house." i felt a deep pang of guilt, i hated lying to Alexander, but i didnt really have a choice. he wouldnt understand... i'd end up losing him forever. "do you want me to come and meet you there?" he asked, i could hear the hope in his voice. "nah, its allright. i'll be there in a jiffy." he laughed at the word choice. "alright, see you then."
i smiled and sighed."kay, i love you." i could practically hear the stutter in his heart. "i love you too." he murmured. i clicked the phone shut and sped toward his house, dodging a few cars along the way. i ran up the side of the wall and came through the window."Izabella!" Alexander said in relief, pulling me into a tight hug. i smiled hugley and gave him a long passionate kiss. "hey, someone missed me, i wasnt gone, like what, ten minutes?" i chuckled. Alexander frowned and sniffed at the air, "looks like you didnt quite clean up all of your dinner." he whispered, gesturing to my hands. i stared down at the blood, soaked into my black Marilyn Manson T-Shirt, and caked into my nails. "awe crap," i muttered, streaking over to the bathroom and cleaning my hands in the cold water. Alexander stared warily at me, and did not follow. panic bubbled in my chest.
was there guilt there? yes definitley guilt. "Izabella..." Alexander started, his voice was shakey and i heard his heart stutter. i spun around and faced him. "what..." as soon as i saw his facial exspression, my heart stopped. Alexander was incredibly furious, he was fuming. his long fingers were balled into fist's and his eyes were thrown into shadow by the angry set of his eyebrows.
"Alexander? whats wrong?" i asked, panicked.i flashed to his side and put my hands on either sides of his face, "Alexander, whats wrong?" i asked again, seriousley. his gaze became fixated on me and he shifted his footing so that i was behind him. i peeked around his shoulder and inhaled in a shocked gasp. "Donovan!" i gasped, he stood, still as a statue and as pissed as a cat drenched in frigid water.
"she bit me." donovan told Alexander, only looking at him. Alexander was very still, he wasnt even breathing. fear locked in my stomach.
"i dont care. you are no more than a meal to her." i could hear the fury burning deep beneath his calm facade, and it made my heart accelerate.
Donovan shook his head slowley and shifted his gaze to mine.
"im going to tell, everyone, your going to be exsposed for what you really are. i'll tear you two apart." i gasped and clutched Alexanders arm.
"no!" i yelled. Donovan smirked and took one step toward me.
and one step was all he took.
"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" ALexander roared, launching himself across the room and plowing straight into Donovan.
"Alexander!" i shrieked, flying towards them and prying at Alexander's body."stop!" i yelled, yanking his arm, trying to pull him away. Alexander shot his elbow back and i caught it in the throat, a cold fluid pooled in my stomach. the air choked off and i fell to the floor, pain, hot as the sun, broke into flames that licked through my body. i tried to breathe, tried to find a way to stop the panic and shock locking my body into what ever position i was in. the room around me spun rapidly and i clutched my throat with my hands. "alexander!" i rasped, barley audible. i heard the snarls and estranged growls coming from both of them. he was too far gone in his rage to help me. i tried to swallow but the saliva wouldnt pass through the clog in my throat.
i coughed and blood splattered on the floor next to me.
i inhaled deeply and coughed again, finally able to breathe. my blurry eyes drifted and, at first, i didnt know what i was seeing, but as my eyes focused, i saw Alexanders fist flying, pounding into Donovan.
the ice locked around my heart.
i stood up, wobbling drunkenly, and made my way to the front door. my throat was burning, it felt like a ball of fire had locked inside my throat. tears of pain and saddness and anger rolled down my cheeks.
the coughing grew more intense.
more bood continued to spew from my lungs and my stomach or where ever the hell it came from, causing me to stop and bend at the waist.
i walked blindley, not knowing where i was going, only knowing that i was scared and felt more alone then i ever had.
at one point, i could hear Alexaders worried voice calling for me, begging me to come back.
no, my mind whispered, not safe! i picked up my pace and hid in the tall oak tree next to me.
as i sat on top of the tree, i looked outward and beyond this dark abyss. i saw a beacon of hope, a small light at the end of the tunnel...
"Izabella!Carlie!" i whimpered and shuddered. i stopped breathing and stared down from the tree top, with wide eyes, at the man i thought i knew.
it was obvious he was worried, he was upset, he realized his actions were wrong. and i would have gone down to him and hugged him and told him he was stupid...
had it not been for the blood i smelt on him.
i knew that scent well, the scent of the blood that had dripped from Donovans life less body after Alexander was done with him.
the ice that was locked around my heart constricted and grew colder.
Alexander... my arms yearned for him, as did my broken heart. but i was far too terrified to go anywhere near him willingly.
without willing my body to do so, i whispered his name.
i clamped my hand over my mouth and sat very still, my heart kicked into fourth gear and i stopped breathing. Alexanders head shot up and his dark brown eyes poured into mine.
i saw the recognition plain on his face.
"Izabella!" he exclaimed loudley, the relief almost tangible.
he flashed up the tree before i had a chance to get away.
im going to die, i thought, he's going to kill me. his blood smeared hands gentley turned my face towards his, i stared at him with wide fear stricken eyes. his eyes twinkled with a dark light, he smiled slightley and pulled me into a tight hug.
my body did not react.
i sat as imobile as stone, as still as a dead body. my heart jackhammered in my chest and adrenaline rushed through my veins.
"im so glad your okay, i didnt know what happened to you." he breathed. anger, fury that made no sense, ignited in my heart, melting the ice.
i pulled away from him.
" i ran away. from you. because you scared the life out of me, because you elbowed me in the throat. because i said your name and you didnt come to my rescue, when i couldnt breathe.because you acted like a wild animal! thats why." he stared at me, his eyes growing wider and filling with tears. he dropped his face into his hands and sobbed.
i almost comforted him, i almost wanted to. but the fury was still there, the fear was still there, the saddness and the lonlieness.
fresh tears emptied from my eyes and poured down my face.
"what happened to you?" i asked tentivley. he sucked in a stuttered breath and looked at me with eyes filled with ancient saddness. suddenly, a sharp wind blew through the tree's, blowing the fresh scent of blood in my face, the scent of donovan. "you killed him," i hissed, my eyes narrowing in anger. he flinched back at the fury in my voice and met my eyes, hurt flooding them.
"yes, i did," he said simply, without any remorse or emotion. i inhaled in a sharp gasp an shot down out of the tree and landed on the ground with a hard smack. i ignored the pain in my body, both my aching heart and my throbbing feet. i ran, flashing past the old library and lithley jumping up onto the rooftops of the nearby houses. i could hear no pursuit behind me, no sign that he was following me. there was no fear in my stomach, no hyserics that threatened to explode out of me, i did, however, have the urge to curl into a ball and cry. i inhaled deeply and followed the scent of his blood. shooting up the side of Alexanders house, i burst into his room and glanced around quickly, there was no sign of him. i took the stairs three at a time and followed my nose outside into the forestry. panic loomed in my mind, dark and intruding. the worst was on its way, making the adrenaline beat hotter through my body. i could smell the blood getting fresher, warmer. suddenly, the scent became so overpoweringly strong i had to stop and concentrate. "donovan!" i screamed, my eyes whedddling around widley. i heard a small whimper of pain and recognition and i whipped around. there, looking pale gaunt and dead, bleeding and broken, was the body of donovan. i gasped again and flshed to his side, picking him up lightly and holding his body in my lap. i didnt realize i was sobbing until i started hyperventilating.
"dont cry," he whispered. i shook my head and clutched him closer to me. "why, oh god, why!" i mourned, donovans eyes fluttered shut and i wailed. "no! donovan!" i screamed, i heard his weak heart shutting down, and in a split second, i sank my teeth into his throat. at first, he shuddered, probably to shrouded in the other pain to feel the pain of my bite. i let the venom from my teeth do there job, fixing his roken body. there was a flash of hope, i couldnt lose him. not him, not the first guy i ever truly fell in love with. i watched him flinch and whimper, the pain of the transformation finally breaking the facade he so carefully held. his heart still sounded weak. i held him closer and willed him to live, praying to whoever was out there to help him. then, when id finally grew hope, his fragile heart went silent and his body went limp. "donovan?" i whispered, pressing my hand to his face. he didnt answer. it started to dawn on me that i was too late. that i had not saved him. the grief hit me hard. i wailed loudley, rocking slightly. i tried to find the will to stop...but i couldnt. a piece of my heart had been torn out, as much as i hated everything about him, i loved him. and now he was dead.
the pain was staggering, i enveloped myself in to a ball and watched the eyes i had known so well stare up at me, a question in his eyes, why didnt you save me? "no! no, no no," i wailed, i sobbed loudley and screamed, clutching my head in my hands and shrieking from the grief, the pain, the horror.
everything i had ever wanted and needed broke apart and disapeared in front of my tear ridden eyes. every "i love you," everything, gone. the only person i had ever fallen in love with was now gone, forever. my hands grabbed at the dirt on the ground and dugg in.
"no, no, no, no" i said quietly.
in all this pain that a normal person would not be able to live through, death would be better, yes death, the only escape from this pain.
no not pain, this was much worse, this was like losing a child, like losing the closest thing to forever.
i heard a rustling in the tree's.
my head shot up and i zoned in on the spot where the noise had came from.
Alexander.
he jumped lithley from the tree top and walked slowley forward until we were not five feet apart. he shot one disgusted look in donovans direction, i didnt look. anger bursted through my veins, like a match thrown on a puddle of gasoline. my breathing was deep and slow, i glowered with enreaged eyes, my hands clenched into fists and i felt my heart give birth to a new kind of hatred. a new kind of fury that no normal human would have the capicity to stand.
finally, he met my gaze and a smile lit his once loving face.
that smile broke my frozen form.
i jumped up and smacked into him, knocking him into the tree. my fingers curled around his throat and i snarled.
"you son of a b itch!" i screamed, he clutched frantically at my hands, i gripped his throat tighter. "i did it for you!" he rasped. i growled and clenched my fingers tighter around his throat. as the life slipped away from him, i let go. i shook my head in disgust and walked away. i heard him try to follow.
"no, if i ever see you again, i'll kill you." i whispered. he stopped and i felt another splinter in my heart. so much abuse to my heart in so little time.
i wondered how i was still breathing. there was person i knew would comfort me and accept me for everything.
i ran as fast as i could, forcing myself to forget the tragic scene behind me. i scaled the walls up the house, clinging with one hand onto the top of the windowseal.
thankfully, the window was cracked. i hopped into the room and there was a squeal of scaredom.
io spun around and stared at my best freind.
"haylie!" squealed. i jumped over to her bedside and hugged her hard. had i ever forgotten about her? no. never, our bond was like nothing else.
she smiled, big fat tears rolling down her pinkened cheeks. i laughed and smiled through tears of my own, with her, all my problems fell from my consious and i was myself.
"where were you?! why havent you called me?!" she said, smacking my arm and making me laugh again. true happiness bubbled in my heart and i hugged her again.
"im sorry, i missed you dude!" i told her honestly. how could i have ever lost touch with her? haylie looked at me with such a relived look that i couldnt help but smile wider.
"awe hails, you didnt miss me?" i whispered. she laughed half heartedly and bounced."no i did dude," she said. i took a deep breath and stared her seriously in the eyes.
"alot's happened since we lost touch." i told her.
she looked confused so i took another deep breath and launched into my story of everything that happened.
when i was finished, the shock on her face was so prominint she could of been the poster child for kids just finding out that their best friend had gone through alt.
i started to fidget, twitching my fingers around and flexing my knuckles.
"are you serious?" she asked, all traces of surprise gone, disbelief now visable. i nodded.
she cried and hugged me hard. i comforted her until her tears ran out and her sobbs quieted.
"im so-sorry." she hiccuped. i petted her head and smiled.
"not your fault," i told her.
"i wish i could've been there for you." haylie whispered.
i laughed, sounding more like a bark.
"your here for me now.
and i knew at that moment as long as i had my best friend at my side, i could face anything and tackle any challenge.
any challenge huh? i thought to myself as i approached my front door. to my house. i let out a heavy sigh and rang the doorbell, wait, its three in the morning.
i snickered, wont this look odd. i knew i was going to get chewed out about it later, why i was gone for so long, why i never called, but i was too excited, bouncing up and down like a bunny. the locks jerked and i stopped breathing.
did i look to different? would they recognize me? would they slam the door in my face?wait, would they be repelled? all my worries disappeared when my mom caught full sight of me, blinked a couple times then staggered through the front door way to wrap her warm arms around me. the sides of my throat sucked closed and i felt tears prickle my eyes.
"mom?" i whispered, she hugged me tighter and i felt the back of my shirt start to get wet.
she was crying?
i put my arms around her and leaned into her embrace, inhaling the scent of everything that was home.
