"Please explain to me why we are on a plane going home, even though our vacation is four days from being over?" I didn't know how to even start explaining why to him. I don't think I could actually get the words out of my mouth. I was in a race against time. I had to save Angry Eyes. I couldn't let him die. Even if what I am going to do will be a worse fate.
...I'm going to make him immortal. A being that will live forever. With the venom that was meant for Jack.
I didn't want to have to do that. I didn't want to turn him into something that will screw up his life. But I couldn't handle losing him. I wouldn't...Couldn't lose that boy. I lost one Knight blood to death. I wasn't going to lose one more. I loved this one too much. But I still didn't want to force this life on him...A life I sometimes wish I didn't have to live. I was going to take everything normal from him, and shatter it.
"Kendall is in the hospital...I'll explain in a short story. Jack is also immortal, and sometimes immortals can have weird powers. Jack just happens to be one of those people. He can make people fall into lust or love with him. It would be a good power too...If he wasn't a bastard with a cold heart. And because of him, he is holding something against Kendall that could ruin Kendall's life. Which is why I've been helping him try and stop Jack...Even though Jack found out, and he pushed Kendall out of some window to his death. Kendall isn't dead...But he could, and just might, die." All without a single breath I said those words. They were hushed for his ear only. It may have sounded rushed or jumbled. But my blood and heart were going faster than normal. Even for an immortal.
I was terrified. No, worse than that. I was shaking from the fear. Every memory of Alexander dying flashed through my mind. I remember the pain of watching him die was unbearable. It scarred my heart. I don't think I can handle losing Angry Eyes too.
But I couldn't handle turning his life into mine either. I was what teens say...Fucked. I have two choices that could make everything spin out of control. It would reveal everything. Immortals. My lies. Alexander. Jack. To not only Angry Eyes. But to his family and friends. I was in a situation most would wish they could never experience.
But I had to. I was hours from Minnesota and with the venom in my pocket, I was going to save Angry Eyes...
I just hope it doesn't come down to that though.
No...I wished with every part of me it wouldn't come down to pouring that venom down his throat and turning him into an immortal. But I would...If I had to.
"Okay. So.... You aren't the only one out there? And how were you going to help him...?" Logan says, with his eyebrows raised up high. I could tell this was hard for him to understand. It wasn't logical. It was unreal to most. But this is the world's laugh...It was cruel.
Especially to have people like Jack in this world. That won't ever die...I could see how the world would end up. It wouldn't be pretty to see. No, it would be more than that. It would traumatizing.
"No, I'm not. I have no idea how many others are out there. Jack is the only other immortal I've met," I looked out the plane window, watching as the clouds past by quickly. It was dark now. Almost three in the morning. But that couldn't help the bitterness in my voice when I said his name. He ruined everything. I was going to get revenge. "...I was going to help Kendall by...Killing Jack with venom. If it came down to it..."
I muttered in a whisper for his ears only. I didn't want the other people on this plane to hear this conversion. I actually didn't want to have this conversion at all. But...It was the only way to keep me from falling apart in front of all these people.
This was a small plane. And all were in view of me. And earshot of every noise I make. Take fifty very bored people and a plane that is almost silent, and add a teenage boy breaking down...Yeah. That would be miserable to deal with. For me and them.
"KI-" That was all Logan got out. My hand reacted pretty quick, and it went smack against his mouth. I should've known he would shout. It was a normal reaction for people. I just wasn't thinking. Which is out of the normal for me. I always think through what I'm going to do.
"Shhh! Killing him is the only way to make things better." I hushed harsh against Logan's ear. I knew I should feel guilty for the hurt in his eyes. But I couldn't. My body was numb.
Everything wasn't planned out. It was a mess. I am a mess. I had to act on impulse. Because my mind doesn't seem to be thinking of anything but Angry Eyes, Angry Eyes, Angry Eyes.
And the burning hatred I now had for Jack was overriding every feeling I have. I will kill him when I find him. I don't care what it takes. I will find him and murder him. It's people like him that make this world full of hatred and misery. It's also people like him that break people till they are nothing.
One less wouldn't do much.
"There has to be another option. That can't be the only one!" Logan turns his head sharply at me, as he says this. I could see the disbelief all over his face. He couldn't believe what I am saying. I can't believe it either. But it's the only option...Jack is too toxic for this world.
He needs to be killed. Somehow.
"There isn't another option...I'm sorry, Logan." I said through a heavy sigh. I suddenly felt weak and worn out. Like all the years I lived on this earth were now weighing down on me. I was torn on what to do. Let nature take it's course...Or save the boy I love.
I don't think I would be able to do either.
I was screwed.
"Welcome to Mi-" I didn't wait for the fight attendant to finish her words. In a blink of an eye, I was already up and rushing past her. Tugging Logan along each step. I could tell he was annoyed to be forced to run and to not follow the rules. But he knew this wasn't the time for it.
I had a boy I needed to save. If it wasn't already too late. Damn please don't let it be too late. I lost Alexander. I can't lose him too. Not when I just got him. I would lay down my own life for his. I would give away everything I have...Just to keep those deep green eyes blazing.
With that thought, I pushed myself to go faster. I was basically dragging Logan as I ran through the airport. Only moments ago was I actually in the plane. Now I was already out the terminal. And that was a lot to say. Because it's long as hell. I had a long way to go to get to the hospital. And not a lot of time.
I didn't even know if I had any time left. I think that was the scariest part...I had no idea if the blonde was alive or not. I didn't know how bad the fall was. I didn't know what was broken or what was going on. I was in a full panic.
"J-JAMES! Slow down!" Logan stuttered out, through panted breaths. I was running him ragged and by the sounds of it. He was going to pass out soon if I didn't slow down...But, I couldn't do that. I needed to get to Angry Eyes. Now.
"Here. Take the keys, and go home. I'll meet up with you later!" I said the words in a rush, as I pulled the keys out of my pants pocket and handed them to him. And before another word, I let go of his hand and took off running. I flew through that airport. I would take a cab to the hospital. It might set the time back a bit. But it was easier then having Logan pass out.
I could see people stopping what they were doing as I ran through the airport. In flashes. Some looked at me in wonderment. Other annoyed at a teenage boy running through the airport. It would've made me laugh if I wasn't in such a hurry. Or If I wasn't numb. From the text Jack sent me, and from sitting in that plane seat for as long as I was.
But once I got to the doors of the airport, I felt a little relief. And terror. I didn't know if the venom would work. I didn't know if Angry Eyes would make it. I didn't even know if he was alive.
...I didn't know if I could do it either. No, I had to do it. I had no choice, but to let him die. And that wasn't even an option in my mind.
That was all it took for encouragement. I went out those sliding glass doors and started running towards a cab.
I knew what I had to do.
"Here, keep the change." I felt like a bouncing rabbit with all this rushing around and how my words sounded when I threw the money in the cab driver's hand. I didn't have time to be polite and gentle. I didn't have time to chat or make sense of what I'm doing. I had to get to Angry Eyes.
"Tha-" I didn't let the man finish what he was going to say. I got out of my seat, and was out the door in seconds. Slamming it right behind me as I started running towards the front of the hospital. My heart was racing like crazy and I could feel it pulsing through out my body. I felt my stomach turn and tighten all at the same time. I knew then I really was freaking out.
It didn't really feel real till now. Before I had time to at least try to think of another plan to save Angry Eyes. Other than the one that would ruin his normal life. But I didn't have one. I didn't have any other plan. I had to do it. There wasn't anything else to do.
But that didn't stop me from fearing the worst. The odds that are against the plan are huge. I didn't have the time to really do the math. But I knew it was more than what wasn't against it. It just wasn't foolproof. It hasn't been tested. It's an iffy plan that could still kill Angry Eyes.
That didn't mean I wouldn't try it if it came down to it. It just meant I didn't want to if there was another chance to save him. I may be selfish, but I wasn't that selfish. I just wanted Angry Eyes to die when he's supposed to...When he is at a very, very old age. Not when he is a healthy teenager, and his death is caused by a cold bastard.
His life hasn't even started. He has so much to live for. And he shouldn't die because of something I did. It wasn't fair...Not for him. Not this whole situation. None of it was fair. And it was all Jack's fault. If he wasn't so cruel, Angry Eyes might have had a good life.
But no...Jack had to mess it up and turn his life into a horrible mess...Or maybe it was me that did it? Maybe I was the one that turned Angry Eyes' life into a mess. Nothing would have turned bad if I never came to Minnesota. For any of us...
Damn it! Not the time to be feeling sorry for myself. I wasted years making mistakes of thinking everything would be better if I did nothing. It doesn't. I live in regrets because of what I didn't do. I'm not going to make the same mistakes I made with Alexander.
I just hope I still have time to...
"Fuck! Where is his room?" I didn't even care that I screamed that, in the middle of a usual quiet hospital. I've been running around this hospital for what seemed like hours. Even though the clock is telling me I've only been here for five minutes. It still felt like forever.
I've looked everywhere and asked every single nurse or doctor I've seen to help me find Angry Eyes. They either didn't say anything at all or just told me they didn't know. Either wasn't a good enough answer for me right now. It was only making knots tighten in my stomach and my heart race more. If that was even possible.
It was, actually. And it made my spur of energy wore out. Fast.
I slid down the light blue colored wall. I didn't stop till I hit the cold white tile floor. It was freezing my now overly hot body down. It helped with my heart, but it didn't do anything for the knots. They only tightened more.
Don't even get me started on my mind...It was running with one thought. "You're running out of time.". And the mental picture of Angry Eyes laying under a blanket. Dead cold and not breathing a single breath, all because I ran out of time and couldn't find his room. Was making everything ten times worse.
It would be all my fault too. I would lose him just like I lost Alexander. But...Unlike that time. It would be because of me. If I only let my own selfish wa-
"You know that's not true. You were only trying to help my grandson. And it would've ended must worse if you didn't come into his life." That voice...It couldn't be...It can't be...It's...It's...That's Alexander's voice. It had to be, I know that voice by heart. I would never forget it.
But i-it just couldn't be true. He was dead. Has been for a hundred years. It was impossible. I'm really going crazy. Maybe my heart beat is a little too fast and now my mind is playing tricks on me. It would be another thing that added to my cruelty of the moment. It wouldn't surprise me either.
"James Diamond! Stop being...You. Now listen, if you love me. And if you love my grandson. Listen to what I'm saying." His stern voice broke through my thoughts. He always used that voice when he wanted me to listen to him. I smile thinking about it from time to time. Because Angry Eyes has the same tone when he is stern...
But I couldn't dare hope that what I was hearing, was true. It's too good to be true. It's too surreal.
But moments later, and a loud gasp taken from my mouth. I saw the messy blonde haired, and deep green eyed boy I fell in love with almost a hundred years ago. Alexander was right in front of me. Wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he died. Along with a soft, sad smile. One I've only seem a couple of times when we were together.
I couldn't keep my breathing normal. I was gasping like a fish out of water. And I bet my eyes look like a fish's. I felt crazy. I felt love. I felt agonizing pain. I felt so many emotions. I wanted to say so many things. But the words wouldn't come. I was frozen in the state I am in.
And it was horrible.
It only got worse when he bent down and guided my head up, so I could look straight into his eyes as he said his next words.
"James...He isn't going to make it. Kendall is going to die, and the only way to save him is to make him immortal. It's not something I want either, but there isn't another way. It will be tough, and we both know there will moments he hates the life you gave him. But you're right, his life is far from over. It's not meant to end for him now. I know you are scared James, but it will be all okay. You can do this," He said this as he brushed a kiss to my lips. His lips are the same as they used be. Soft and sweet as fresh honey. Too bad it didn't last long.
"Treat him good, Jamie. I don't blame you for everything that happened and you shouldn't break yourself away from people. Let them in, and you might be surprised that the pain is worth what you get." He muttered the words softly as he pulled away. His eyes held nothing but love and happiness. It almost made me fall in love with him all over again.
It almost made me want to drop everything and die to be with him, right now. But I did mean almost. If I wasn't so in love with Angry Eyes I would do it.
That thought alone made my eyes widen in size. I couldn't believe it...I was more in love with Angry Eyes, than I've ever been with Alexander. And Alexander knew it...I could see it in his eyes and his smile. He knew I was deeply in love with Angry Eyes. And that I wouldn't leave this earth without him right beside me.
I then slid my body up the wall and stood up on my two feet. I was ready to run again and go find Angry Eyes before it was too late. Before time ran out. But I just didn't know where to go...
"Room 208. He's in there and he only has about five minutes left. Go save him, James." And those were the last words Alexander told me, before he vanished from my view. Leaving me to wonder if that was actually real or not. I would have to think about that later. Right now I had to find room 208. Fast.
"Thank you, Alex..." I whispered to no-one in particular, as I started running down the long hall of opened door rooms. Looking for that one room here in the ER. I had no time to make a mistake. I had to get to that room and pour that venom down Angry Eyes' throat.
It was the last choice I had.
"Yes!" I shouted with glee once I found the room. 208. It was Angry Eyes room. I may have wasted a minute or two looking for the room. But I should still have time to get the venom in his system. At least I hoped. I couldn't have another thing set me back. Not now. With only minutes to go till his last breath is taken.
And just when I went to turn the knob of the door. I heard a male doctor's voice and his footsteps behind me. Fuck this. Fuck life. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck.
"Sir, you can't g-" He went to say "I couldn't go in there.". But I didn't have time for that. I roughly pushed open the door and I quickly ran into the room. Slamming it shut and locking it behind me once I was in the room. I knew that would cause me a lot of trouble later and probably get me kicked out. But I would deal with it. I would deal with everything thrown at me. Just as long Angry Eyes can live. Even if it meant forever.
I just wasn't prepared to see what Angry Eyes looked like. Which is why I almost dropped to my knees and why I almost lost all air in my lungs. It dropped my heart into my stomach also. This wasn't the Angry Eyes I know...
His skin was sheet white. He looked so small in this whitewash room, in that light blue hospital bed. His eyes were closed, covered with gauze. So were his arms, waist and legs. It seemed like his whole body was covered in white gauze. But what made my heart sink the most, was all the wires and tubes plugged up to him. From his mouth, to his nose, to his arms and hands. It looked like every part of him was damaged. All because of the text I sent to Angry Eyes' phone, that Jack got a hold of and seen...He did this to an angel that didn't deserve it.
He would pay. Later. Right now I had to...Change Angry Eyes.
I shivered at the thought, but that didn't stop me as I raced to his side. I took a big breath that I didn't need to, as I took the plunge. I pushed open his soft, chapped lips. As I did that, I dug the tube of venom out of my pants pocket. That I'm glad I didn't leave in my suitcase. Once I got it free, I didn't let myself think as I unscrewed the top and tip it back, as I pressed it to Kendall's lips. Pouring the sea blue venom down his throat. It made my heartache that I was doing this to him. But it had to be done.
I couldn't lose him. Not now, not ever.
Once the tube was empty, and I made sure it was, I pulled it back and I screwed the top back on. I than put it back into my pocket. My heart heavy but relieved.
I knew Angry Eyes was going to be in pain. A lot of it. It was going to be the worst pain he will ever feel. And it sent my heart into a breaking. I didn't want to see it. I didn't want to see his body be put through so much pain. Him put through so much pain. And knowing I couldn't do a damn thing about it. More so that it was my fault.
And that he might hate me for what I did. Alexander did say he would hate me sometimes for it. I don't think I could handle that though. No, I know I couldn't handle him hating me. But...The price paid was more than worth it. If he was alive. I would take the hell and pain if he was alive.
"Please live, Angry Eyes...I need you...I-I love you..." The last part was sobbed out. I broke down and fell to my knees, crying my eyes out. For the first time in I don't know how long...I broke down like a baby and just sobbed. My vision turned blurry and my face felt like it was on fire. But it was like all I bottled up, was releasing...Through my tears.
I didn't know how long I was on the floor, shaking and sobbing. But I do know it was long enough for the venom to kick in and start to take affect. How I knew was because I heard Angry Eyes' heart-monitor beeping loudly all of a sudden. His heart was racing at an abnormal pace. It was because of the pain he was going through. It was something you never forget as an immortal. It's supposed to be the most painful thing to experience in life. That's why you become immortal. You would die instantly if you went through that much pain as a normal human.
My body flinched as the pain really started to set in. His body seized around, shaking and jerking. I watched as his face twisted in pain. It was unbearable to watch and know exactly what he is going through. And knowing I was the reason he was feeling the pain he is. It added to the fire. I kept my eyes down as I shakily got up off the floor and I sat in the chair next to his bed. Not once looking at him.
It wasn't long before the doctor and nurses unlocked the door, and came bursting through the door. All racing into the room within minutes. One of the older women nurses looked like they were going to call the police on me, but decided against it when they saw Angry Eyes. They instantly started to work on him, trying to make his heart stop racing. I knew no matter what they did, it wouldn't work. He was already turning and was an hour away from becoming a full immortal.
Nothing can make the pain stop. It was a waiting game now. When you first become an immortal...The venom fixes every broken, unhealthy mistake you have in or outside of your body. It won't change how you look or act. It will just make your body healthy and well, Immortal. His body has a lot broken...It will probably take some time.
And I wasn't too keen on the pain he had to go through, to get to it...
"Sir, you need to leave the room. Now. He's seizing." One of the ditzy looking nurses, with the light bleached hair and overly done make-up, stated to me. As she gently pushed me out of the room, and then, shut the door in my face. Which made the only choice I had left is to go sit in the waiting room for an hour...Give or take the extra minutes for the venom to take over the whole body and fix everything.
This was going to be a long morning...
I sighed deeply as I made my way down the hall to the waiting room. Instead of when I came running down here, bouncing like a bunny earlier. I was walking slowly, like a zombie. I had so many things on my mind. How I was going to explain to Angry Eyes that he will never die...How to explain his new life and what will happen over time with his family. About Jack and I. About his grandfather...I didn't even know how to explain the last one in the least. I didn't even know how I saw him, how I heard him and how he even kissed me. It was beyond my wisdom.
I was confused on it all. I know people think that ghosts were real...But I didn't think they could touch you like that. Wait...Touch...Ghosts...Immortals!
"Oh hell..." I stated out loud, to myself. Everything clicked now. The voice from before with Carlos. It was Alexander. And how I could hear and see him...It was another thing all on it's own.
I remember I read a book with my father, when I had just became an immortal. It said that immortals can have the power to summon ghosts. If they focus hard enough. It's rare for an immortal to have that power. Really rare. But it can happen.
And I think it did happen...To me.
This day has just gotten crazier. Another day in Minnesota it seems.
I shook my head at the thought and I headed to the waiting room. I had enough thinking time today. Now I'm just worn out.
I needed some sleep. And some time to let my emotions to cool down. And to let everything sink in.
I yawned deeply and made count to take a nap while Angry Eyes changes. He'll be alright.
I know he will be. He's Angry Eyes. He's strong.
"Sir. Sir. Sir!" My eyes flashed open to see the woman that kicked me out of Angry Eyes' room. The overly make-up one. Her eyes held tiredness and a sort of softness that would make your heart soften too. It did mine, just a little. She looked like a clown, sure, but she was like a little girl too. I wanted to get mad at her for waking me up, but I couldn't bring myself to. Like before, she is like a little girl in my eyes.
So I simply just sat up in the dark black chair I was sleeping in and I gave her a soft smile as I said,
"Yes?"
"Your friend...Mr. Knight is awake and stable. He would like to see you." My eyes lit up at her words and I was quickly out of my seat. And even quicker out the door and down the hall. I couldn't wait to see him. He's alive and that's all that matters. He is okay. The venom worked.
Thank you, Alexander.
But once I was in front of his door, my excitement fell into the floor. I didn't know what to do when I spoke to him. I didn't know what to say...I would have to explain everything to him. That was sure. But I haven't even told Logan about Alexander...How was I supposed to tell his own grandson?
Even more so, Logan completely ignored me for a few days after that. And that was just because finding out about my secret. Who knows how Angry Eyes will act when he finds out Immortals are not only real, but he is one too. I didn't even want to think about that conversion...
This was a plan I didn't think through. And was probably going to burn me in the end.
But it's worth it. So, So, So worth it.
With that in mind, I closed my eyes, cursed myself to be a man, and I opened the door. Quickly walking in and shutting the door behind me, so I couldn't chicken out. Because I would. I knew I would.
At least I knew I would before that beautiful voice called out softly.
"James...?" I couldn't help but blink my eyes open to see my beautiful blonde sitting up in his hospital bed. Looking as healthy and well as ever in the light colored hospital gown. His skin had no scars, cuts, bruises or anything in sight. I could see the confusion in his eyes. But the love he felt was there too. That's all that mattered. That he is alive and well.
For now that is.
In a flash I was at his side, on the bed, and pulling him into my arms. Not even wasting valuable time pressing our lips together. I needed to feel him. I needed to know he was here and he wasn't going anywhere. I just needed him here, in my arms, and staying like this. Forever.
I broke out in a smile when he moaned against my mouth and wrapped his arms around my neck. Bringing me closer to his body and making our lips meshing together in such a cute and sexy way. But this wasn't about sexy or cute. This was about need for closeness. For comfort.
I leaned him back against the bed and I pressed myself in-between his legs. Which he gladly wrapped around my waist. Once I was settled in-between his legs properly. I made the kiss a little hotter for us. I traced his lower lip teasingly. Softly and barely.Which he wasted no time parting his lips and granting me access to his mouth. He let me dominant the kiss and every action we made. Which was surprising. In a good way.
I wasn't going to take advantage of him. I'm not Jack. But I did want to be close to him, like this. Nothing more. Nothing less.
This is how it lasted. For twenty minutes, an hour maybe. I didn't know how long. We'd pull our lips apart only to mesh them back together. It was amazing. It was everything I never felt before. It was me. It was him.
It was us. And to think this might last forever...Was too good to be true. And maybe it was. I didn't want to know right now. Maybe later.
Too much drama in one day. Learning and doing so much that is life-changing, is enough for a day.
"I-I love you, Jamie." Kiss. "Never leave me again." Kiss. "You're the only one I want." Kiss.
His words were sweet. Just like his kisses. Every single one of them was innocent and full of love. It made my heart race again. But this time, for a good reason. A very good reason. But I knew I had to tell him the truth. Now.
I couldn't live with the guilt if I didn't. Damn Logan and his "Always tell the truth" ways. That boy is rubbing off on me and I don't like it.
I sighed for the thousandth time today, and I pulled away from his addicting lips. Every part of me wanted to kiss him over and over again till I couldn't anymore. But I had to talk serious right now. Even if I didn't want to...
"Kendall...I love you too. And I need to tell you something important..." I said this as I moved from my place on-top of his body and I sat at the end of the bed. Holding his hands tightly in my own, as I looked into his eyes intensely.
This was going to be a long conversion. One that will change everything.
This is the start of a new life for Angry Eyes.
But the scary part is...
Will the truth break Angry Eyes and I apart?
