Ethan's POV:
It was another normal Thursday. Mom and dad were out on a date. Sarah was inside the house babysitting Jane, and I was just in my room playing a new video game alone for hours. Benny didn't come, and I had no idea why. I felt kind of lonely without him, even if Sarah was there. I was just about to finish level three when I heard the door open. I spun the chair around and saw the beautiful Sarah at the door smiling at me.
"Hey Sarah!" I greeted. I was so happy to see her; being alone in my room wasn't very nice.
"Hey Ethan! Have you been here the whole time?" Sarah asked me.
"Yeah. Video games!" I said. Sarah laughed, and I did as well.
I sat on my bed and motioned Sarah to come sit beside me. She smiled and walked into my room, then sat beside me.
"So, where's Jane right now?" I asked her.
"She's sleeping," Sarah looked at her watch, then back at me. "Your parents are coming in like five minutes."
I nodded and looked at her. When I did so, she was looking at me too. Our eyes met, and I felt that she was leaning against me. I really did think we'd have our first kiss at that moment. She got closer and closer to me. I closed my eyes, and I noticed that Sarah did that too. Our lips were only a few inches away. I was almost going to kiss her, but Sarah's phone made some noise as if she got a text message. She took out her phone and read the text. She closed the phone and looked at me.
"Erica said to come to her house when I'm done babysitting, which would be in three minutes. Your mom did call me to tell me when they are coming," Sarah said. "She actually calls me every twenty minutes." Sarah smiled at me and headed towards the door. She turned around to face me, still smiling. "Oh, and Ethan," she said.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"You're the best boyfriend ever." Sarah said waving at me, then exiting.
I blushed, but she didn't notice. I heard her call Jane, and I knew she was in her room by that time telling her to go to sleep or something, so I went downstairs and outside the backyard.
The only reason I was outside was because I wanted to get some fresh air and some time to be alone in peace. I went to the backyard and lied down beside the wall. The good thing was that Sarah doesn't know that I was outside. I just didn't want anyone to know where I was, or I would be disturbed. The only thing that disturbed me was the thought of Jesse. I didn't know what he wanted from me or what he wanted to do with me. Fortunately, I did shake that thought out of my mind and started to relax. I closed my eyes and imagined that the sun was shining on me and instead of it actually hurting me, it didn't do anything. I felt that I was slowly levitated from the ground and started floating in midair, which I couldn't do, just felt I did. I was soon lifted up to the clouds. Those clouds felt like a bed – a bed that didn't actually put me to sleep. They moved me slowly left and right, and I actually felt relaxed more than ever. No thought in my head, no problems to deal with so far, no one there to disturb me, nothing.
But I knew that I was wrong when I heard Sarah's voice. I couldn't hear it clearly, so I stood up and walked to the corner where Sarah was. I took a peak, making sure no one would see me. I was shocked when I saw Jesse, the person that I didn't want to think of. Sarah was already on the ground, struggling from Jesse.
"You're going to tell me where he is or else." Jesse said.
"Or else what?" Sarah asked.
"Or else you're gonna have to deal with me." Jesse said with an evil smile appearing on his face.
I couldn't stand seeing Sarah like this. I had to do something. I couldn't just stand there doing nothing, but watch my… girlfriend as she was on the ground, struggling from a beast. I decided not to hide and to try to do something to help her, and so I did.
"Leave her alone. I'm the one you want, aren't I?" I said in confidence.
He left her on the ground as if she was an unwanted toy and walked towards me. "So you finally came to face me?" Jesse asked crossing his arms.
"I didn't say I did." I said with hatred shown in my eyes.
"Look, I'm not here to do anything right now," Jesse said taking a step towards me. "Might do it later," Jesse came closer to me with his vampire speed. "So, tomorrow night, in front of the school at seven. Be there." He then disappeared and I could see Sarah trying to stand up, but failing. Jesse reappeared behind me and I looked at him. "Prepare for revenge young fledgling." Jesse whispered, but high enough for Sarah to hear him. He then disappeared.
How could he know that? And why did he have to mention it at that time.
I slowly turned my head around to face Sarah, who was standing with a look of confusion. "Fledgling? I mean, I'm a full vampire, and he knows that and you're just human." Sarah said. I knew I had to tell her.
"That's not completely true." I said while rubbing the back of my neck.
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked with confusion remaining on her face and nothing else.
"There is a fledgling." I said, taking it slowly.
"I still don't get you." Sarah said.
"Sarah, it's me." I said waiting for her reaction.
Sarah laughed a little bit. "You're kidding right?" Sarah said. After she was done laughing, she noticed the seriousness on my face. "Oh, you're not!" She screamed, but I did notice how angry she was. "Ethan…"
"Sarah, I'm sorry…"
"How could you? I saved you from being one and now you lie to me about it?" I saw the tears coming down her eyes. She turned from angry to sad.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to, but…" My words faded out.
"'I'm sorry'? That's what every guy says." Sarah said.
"I would've told you, but I thought that if I told you that you…"
"You could've told me the truth instead of lying." She didn't even let me continue my sentence.
"I wanted to, but I thought that if I did, you would get mad at me, not want to talk to me, or even worse, break up with me." I said starting to sound sadder at every word I said.
"Maybe I will," Sarah said, turning angry all of the sudden. "I can't believe I even liked you. I was so close to kissing you and thank goodness I didn't. You are such a jerk!" She left with vampire speed.
So we were through. I messed up big time. Everything was terrible. First, Jesse wanted to 'get revenge'. Now, my girlfriend broke up with me. I really did hope nothing else would go wrong. I went inside with a sad face. I didn't even bother looking up.
"Where were you?" Mom asked me.
"Nowhere. Just in the backyard." I said trying to hide my sadness, but not taking my eyes off of the ground.
I heard mom and dad whisper. "Ross, I think…"
"No, I think we shouldn't meddle. He's a teenager… you know." I guess they did see the sadness on my face. I wasn't very good at hiding things.
I ran upstairs, trying, and failing, to forget about everything going on lately.
