xxxxxxxxxxxxxx There was a note on the wall. It read:
Dear Nicholas,
Yeah, I know I have mucked around about taking my life, pretended to be emo and even scared you with a fake hanging. But since your recent change I have felt worthless in my life. You were the only thing keeping me here, you were my life support. But lately things, people, have changed. So as you're reading this, I will be hanging by a short rope from the ceiling fan in our dorm.
Love, even in death, Jeffie Bear.
Nick couldn't believe it. Jeff would never take his life. He ran, even through the sun, just to get to his old dorm room. He pushed the door open as quickly as he could to find Thad kneeling on the floor. Tears flooding from his face. He looked up and saw Jeff, hanging from the fan. His face almost as pale as Nick's "This... this is all your fault!" He shouted. Thad stood up and pinned Nick to the wall,"Why did you leave him?" He sobbed some more.
There was a moment silence as Thad stared through Nick's eyes, as to search for the reason.
"Nick... why are you so cold?" Thad questioned.

Nick sprung into action as he woke up. "That was the boy from earlier" he whispered to himself, "Jeff..."
Jeff perched himself back at the same tree as before. He didn't bring his razor this time but there were recognisably more cuts. Stress was getting to him. The lost of his closest friends and loves. He wasn't going to deny it but Thad and Jeff 'experimented' with each other. But now wasn't the time to think about it. He checked his watch. '6:30PM' He'll be out soon.
Nick was just about to leave the house.
"Nick come here!" Tayla shouted.
He trotted over unwantingly and listened to what Tayla had to say. "Arm! Now!" She said.
Nick held his arm out and Tayla examined it.
"You need to be more careful," She exclaimed, "You'll die otherwise!"
Nick shook his arm away and headed out. He didn't care. He needed to find that guy. Jeff. He ran to the forest and began his search.
"Who's to say he'll even be here?" Nick asked himself.
He stood in what seemed like the centre of the forest when he heard a cracking noise. He turned quickly, hissing and bringing his fangs out. Out of nowhere, a net covered in garlic shot from the bush. It wrapped tightly aroung Nick and kept getting tighter. The garlic burning his skin. He let out a loud shriek of pain as two men, indeed one old and one young, emerged from the bush.
"FangDust to headquarters. Vampire trapped in garlic net" The younger one stated through a walkie talkie.
"Let him suffer. Find your next subject!" The recieving end replied,
The two men left Nick to burn from the Garlic Net. He shouted in pain but no one heard or so he thought.
Jeff was sitting at his tree, carving his name into the large trunk when he heard Nick's cries. He shot up as quickly as he could and darted in the direction of the screaming. He saw Nick on the floor. Almost out of his life. He was half dead. Jeff ran up to him and tried waking him up.
"Come on Nicky!" He sobbed.
Suddenly Tayla appeared out of nowhere.
"He's going to die" she whispered.
Jeff was starting to panic.
"What do you mean!" he cried.
Jeff pulled the net off of Nick and turned him over. His eyes were shut and he had a few burn marks. Jeff cried at the sight. "He needs blood!" Tayla said. She didn't want to admit it, but she had feelings for Nick. Strong feelings.
"Nick! Nicky bite my neck!" he called at Nick.
"Six... I love you" he whispered back, "I can't bite you..."
Jeff was getting frustrated. He was happy that Nick loved him back but it was pointless if he was going to die.
"He wont bite me!" Jeff screamed at Tayla.
She had an idea. She crouched down next to Nick and Jeff and spoke softly to Nick.
"Hey buddy, how you holding up?" She laughed in an attempt to lighten the mood.
He didn't reply. They all stayed in silent. Jeff went to speak but Tayla put her finger to his lips.
"Am I going to die?" he whispered.
"No, do you want to know why?" She asked rhetorically, "because Jeff has left and I brought you some blood. You just need to suck it out of the boy's neck"
Nick didn't move, his expression stayed the same.
Tayla moved her face to Jeff's ear and whispered, "Lay down with him and I will direction his mouth to your neck."
Jeff did as he was told. He layed sideways, next to Nick, as Tayla went around the other side of him.
"Come on Nicky," she urged as she moved his head to Jeff's neck. His lips now pressed against Jeff's jugular.
"Just bite," she added," This is going to hurt Jeff. Alot!"
Jeff nodded as Nick, with the last of his energy, sank his teeth into Jeff's neck.
"Ow!" Jeff shouted as Nick's fangs first pricked his skin.
He proceeded to a shout of pain and a few tears flowed from his eyes. The cuts on his arm started to heal up as he felt the blood leave him. He cried more. The pain was almost unbearable.
"Fuck!" he shouted more, as Nick continued to drink his best friends blood.
He was in so much pain that he wished he was dead.
Nick stopped. His fangs still inside of Jeff. He pulled away, letting his venom properly soak in. Nick pushed his head back and kept his eyes closed. That was the first time he had drunk fresh blood. He heard Jeff's cries.
Nick opened his eyes as fast as he could and turned his head to find Jeff screaming in pain.
"You lied!" He shouted at Tayla, eyes glowing red.
He turned back to Jeff and tried to ease the boy. Jeff was sweating and huffing, like it was his last breath. Which it was. Becoming a vampire means dying.
"No, no, no, no! Why would I do this!" He shouted at himself.
"He wanted to save you, and be with you forever," Tayla commented. Just before leaving she said , "Take him back to your dorm. Blacken the windows and nurse him to health. He is one of us now!"
Nick turned back to the still in pain Jeff. His hand brushed throught the blonde's wet hair.
"I love you, Jeffrey Sterling..." He whispered as he leaned forward for a soft kiss on the lips.
He didn't expect Jeff's to be so dry but what could he expect. He had the life sucked out of him. He picked Jeff up and ran to their dorm. He painted the windows black and tucked Jeff in, placing one last kiss on Jeff's mortality. Together forever.
The end!
