(Kara…you said you were reading this story…but I'm still not convinced…REVIEW and I'll believe you!) (lol that rhymed XD)
I walked home with Tyler. It had been rainy all day so the pavement and grass was wet. I skipped around puddles, and tried to keep all my school stuff dry. But I could still manage to keep my eyes locked on his face. His perfect face.
"Thanks…" I said to him for walking my home.
"No problem." He said. Everything seemed to look prettier after it rained and that included Tyler. His hair seemed to glow, and his pale skin looked like silver.
"Can you come in?" I asked trying to think of some reason for him to stay, and to keep my thoughts from wondering what Victor was doing and what he looked like after it rained…
"Sure." He stepped in cautiously, and I closed the door behind us.
"Your mom's home right?" he asked looking in to the kitchen.
"Ya," I said, " Why?"
"I just don't want to be alone with you…" He whispered.
"Oh…" I said feeling kind of hurt, "Why don't you want to be alone with me? Do I scare you?" I said as we sat at the couch.
"No…" He half smiled at me.
"That's good to know…" I said, "so what's your secret?"
"Huh?" He was caught off guard. Maybe I asked to soon. I hoped he didn't think I only said I'd go out with him so he would tell me," Oh…ya…"
"If you still don't want to tell me, I understand…" I said holding his hand.
"No, I promised…" he sighed.
"Ok…and I guess I could tell you one of my secrets too…" I said.
"My secret is very important and can never get out. Do you understand?" I nodded," If this ever gets out, I'll know who did it, because you're the first one I've ever told…I will have to hunt you down if you tell anyone…" it sounded like a joke, but Tyler spoke it with a straight face and a low voice.
"Ok…" I said serious now. I peeked over by the kitchen to see if mom was listening. She was upstairs now.
"You won't think anything of me afterwards…will you?" His face seemed full of sadness.
"Of course not. I'm your girl friend now. We have to take care of each other. I would never. Even if you weren't my boy friend, you're still my friend and I would never betray you in anyway." I said honestly, with a promise.
"….A couple weeks ago, before I met you, something happened. Something life changing." He explained. The first thing that popped in to my head was my tail, and I couldn't help but let out a small smile. But then I refocused on Tyler.
"I had just moved here. I moved here with my aunt to be closer to my dad. He lives here. I never grew up with him and hadn't seen him since I was 7. But I knew a little about him. I knew he was a drunk, but I still loved him enough to come to this town to see him."
His eyes seemed glazed over and in thought.
"I went to his house for a night. The first thing I saw was all the empty cans and bottles of alcohol. I knew he was drunk, but I still wanted to hang out with him. He looked so horrible." I could tell Tyler was in pain.
"He hit me. He hit me the first few minutes I was in there. Then he pulled a knife out to me saying I needed to grow up and get my own life, away from his. He did end up cutting my arm. That's when I came to my sense and ran. I ran out of his house and in to a nearby alley. I hid there, leaning against the brick wall, and bleeding." I stared at him in horror, admiration, and confusion. He was brave to be telling me this, and I was confused to why he was telling me this….
"I didn't realize I was alone, alone in the dark. There was a man behind me. He grabbed me from behind, and…he bit me…he bit me in the neck…" Tyler's face seemed drained of anything good. Pure sadness stained all corners of his face. I realized what he was talking about…
"You're a vampire….?" I asked seriously looking deep in to his eyes. His gray blue eyes. All came in to place…everything made sense now…
"Yes…" Tyler said sadly. I held his hand tighter.
"…." I sat there in silence. I understood.
