"Love is a luxury" she said,
"Rather be in love than dead"
But now we're through
Oh god, not with her
She's the type of girl that makes love... hurt - The Maine (This is the End)
"I'm so sorry," Jade sniffled, holding back the endless stream of tears that seemed to be permanently be flowing.
"It's not your fault Lynny," I sighed for the billionth time. I only ever called her Lynny when I was comforting her. It seemed to roll out my tongue easier. "Honestly, it could've happened to anyone."
"Yeah, and it happened to us. Now Matt's in coma. Evee barely has two legs-"
"She'll be fine," I promised, unsure of my own words, "so will Matt. Just calm down. I think you need to sleep. They're letting you out tomorrow."
"When will Evee get out?" she asked in a whisper, rubbing her red eyes.
"I don't know," I told her honestly, pulling the scrawny blanket up to cover her shoulders. "Go to sleep Jade. You need it."
"Okay," she murmured and closed her eyes. Soon enough, her breathing evened out and I breathed in a sigh of relief. I was supposed to tell her about "the attack" or whatever it was supposed to be called. I couldn't bring myself up to it. She was better off not knowing. If we successfully stop them, it'd be like it never happened. Easy.
Yeah, I wish. We still yet to figure out some plan to stop them. How? Leverage? We had nothing that they wanted, except me, but I didn't even matter anymore, according to Charlie. She'd heard Finn's thoughts loud and clear, like always.
It was good in a way, that they didn't want me, but also, undoubtedly problematic. All they wanted was to take the city. Why Melbourne? Not like I wouldn't stop them if it was another city. They just had to target my hometown because it was my hometown. They suck shit.
"Evee?" I gently tapped on her door and peered in her dark room. The blinds were drawn and the lights were off. Her limp body laid on the bed, but her eyes were wide open, shining in the dark.
"Jamie," she whimpered, and I realized she was crying. I quickly sat down beside her and squeezed her hand assuringly. "They said I have to get my leg amputated."
She said the last word as if it was the most gruesome thing ever. It probably was, for her. It must've hurt, a lot, especially for a human. I cringed at the thought of the pain.
"It's for the best," I told her with a small smile, "I mean, if you think about it. It's better than a dead thing hanging off your knee."
Not the best thing to say. Her face crumbled at the thought and more tears came pouring. I do not remember humans being so emotional.
"I don't want to cut it off Jamie. It's a part of me, and if feels so wrong to cut off my leg. It's just... no," Evee cried, looking sadly down at her left leg. Her expression changed and she stared up at me hopefully.
I froze, knowing, already. "Evee..."
"I really don't want to be a cripple," she pleaded, her eyes begging.
Might as well, in case we don't have a plan by Friday. Rather one of us turning her then one of them.
"Think..." I told and and stood up as she nodded eagerly, "I'll be back soon."
"You sure?" Val asked when I told him. "There's still a chance that hell won't break loose."
"Yeah, but she'll still be a cripple," I defended, frowning a bit at my own words. Did I really want Evee to become a vampire as well? "I can't do it. I don't trust myself."
"I'll do it," he offered with a sigh, "but not here. The doctor's are bound to notice that her bones suddenly grow together and her skin is as thick as wood."
"Well, we can't possibly wait after she amputates her leg," I argued quietly, wary of the nurses walking by, none of which heard our conversation.
"In all fairness, her leg will still grow out when she turns," he said.
"Eugh," I shuddered at the thought of a growing leg, sprouting from the knee. Can you say gross? "You go ask her. I'm gonna visit Matt."
He pursed his lips and nodded, heading for Evee's room. He didn't try to hide that he didn't like her much, but I didn't care. He loved me enough to treat my friends the same way.
I sat down next to Matt, again staring at his peacefully sleeping figure. In 5 days time, I really wished he'd be awake, but the doctor's said otherwise. I ran my fingers through his knotty brown hair, brushing it out of his face. I wondered if he could feel my hands on his, or even hear me.
"I really do think it's my fault," I whispered to him, speaking my thoughts. "If he did kill me. You wouldn't be here. Nobody would be here. Josh wouldn't have to die. I still haven't told Evee yet. I don't know how to. She...I-I feel so bad now. I think they did actually love each other. I think I made a mistake Matt. I never thought he was different. He was always so normal. Even though he never had any faults. We never picked up on anything. I never picked up on anything. Evee loved him, didn't she? She still does. I can't imagine anyone taking away Val. I just can't. I can't imagine anyone taking away you..."
I told him everything, even though he couldn't hear. I didn't leave out one thought. It just all came pouring out. I must've spent hours there, just whispering my deep dark secrets to Matt. My sins, like he was the priest.
If the nurse hadn't come in to check Matt, I probably would've droned on right till he got so annoyed of my confessions an wake up. That could work.
"You didn't tell Evee anything," Val frowned when I finally came out of Matt's room. "I had to be the one to tell her about Josh."
I laughed at the thought of Val trying to comfort Evee when the waterworks started. "What'd she say?"
"About Josh or turning?" he asked bitterly, raking his raven black hair with his fingers. I sat down next to him and slid my hand into his.
"Turning," I smiled at his scornful expression, but I had a feeling Evee wasn't the reason he was being so down.
"She said now so she can help us when the time comes..." his voice trailed off at the concept. When the time comes. 5 days. 5 nights. 120 hours. 7200 minutes. 432000 seconds. Okay, not that exact, but somewhere around that.
"You told her that too," I smirked.
"Yes, because I'm nice enough to fill in for my girlfriend to explain to her friend about the world ending in approximately 5 days," Val smiled in a whisper, making sure no one else heard and wrapped an arm around my waist. "Now, I'm wondering what I get in return."
"I'll tell Jade," I offered, laughing at his expression.
"Why must you always be a step behind?" he groaned, nuzzling his nose in the crook of my neck. I squealed in laughter when he tickled my stomach, causing the other visitors glare at us. Even as a vampire, I was still ticklish.
"Val," I breathed, pushing him away when one balding guy coughed rudely. "St-Stop. People...are...w-"
He picked me up swiftly, bridal style, and carried me to an empty room. I held my breath, clutching onto him, even thought I knew he wouldn't drop me. Odd glances came in our direction. I was dropped on the bed and the door was shut.
"Here?" I laughed as he laid on top of me, kissing my forehead, my cheek, my other cheek, and my nose.
"Later," he decided, and brushed my hair out of my face, "but I want to know what venom you have."
"Oh!" I smiled, realized that I'd forgotten all about my venom. I had venom. It was such a weird feeling. I was capable of turning a human into a vampire. I turned us around so I was looking down at him, wondering what to do. "I don't know how to inject the venom though."
"You'll know," he promised, his pool blue eyes shining in the dark.
I gulped and put my lips to his neck. He took a deep breath, preparing himself mentally, but then I shot up. "What if I have Vanity venom? You'll be the one killing the city!"
"I'll alter the venom," he shrugged coolly, pulling me down again, "like when I changed my venom when I bit Vanessa."
"But you lose your mind, so don't you like not think?" I questioned, biting my lip.
Val chuckled at my fretting and reassuringly squeezed my hand, "I'll be fine Jamie. I'm just curious. You don't have to do it if you don't want..."
"No," I shook my head frantically, "I'll do it. Just be prepared to change it."
"Got it Tyler," he laughed again and I relaxed a bit.
"Okay," I murmured and leaned down again, letting my lips roam to find the perfect spot to bite.
It seemed to turn him on, because he pressed me closer to him, closing the distance between us. I licked, unnecessarily, in the crook between his neck and shoulders. My teeth sank in, and I went a bit deeper than I needed to. That's when I felt the throbs from my fangs. I don't know what I did, but I felt the liquid leave through my fangs and I knew I was inserting the venom. Val groaned a little and I panicked, pulling away quickly.
"Val, are you okay?" I gasped, watching his expression change from wary to confused. "Val. Say something!"
"I'm fine," he nodded lazily and squeezed his eyes shut tightly, "dang it."
"What? What's wrong?" I panicked, watching the bite mark heal almost instantly, but there was a dark scar left, identical to mine just above my collarbone.
"My eyes," he sighed, blinking a couple of times.
I laughed, finally understanding, "Oops."
He grimaced and opened his eyes wide, staring intently at me. I wondered how I looked like up side down, but I didn't plan on getting bitten by Eternal Venom. Secretly, I was kind of disappointed. I would be able make Gerard suffer if I had Demon Venom, but that was long extinct. I'd just gotten what Val has. Fair enough, seeing as he was the one that changed me.
I got off him and held out a hand to help him. His eyes were still wide open, trying to get used it all.
"Are you okay..." I asked, watching him cautiously as he stood up slowly and blinked again, staring at me strangely.
"I'll be fine in a couple of hours," he muttered, looking around the room cluelessly.
"What happened to a couple of days?" I raised and eyebrow and lead him carefully to the others. They just eyed him and turned back to their conversations. "I want Sacred Venom," I said when he didn't reply.
"So you can see me drunk?" Val smirked.
Evan turned to us and snickered, "You didn't know that you pass on your venom when turn someone, did you?"
"Shut up," Val grumbled and sat down. He closed his eyes and evened out his breath, as if he was asleep, as if.
I sighed and pecked him on the cheek, "I'm gonna tell Jade."
He turned his head and pulled me back to him for a passionate kiss, his eyes still closed. I smiled and kissed his nose before leaving.
(Jade's POV)
Jamie came in the room, looking, well, sullen. For a split second, I panicked in fear that she was going to tell me that Matt didn't make it, or Evee was getting her leg completely cut off, or some new vampire shit. I didn't get why she didn't want to me to be a vampire, her best friend since toddlers. I deserved some respect.
"How's everyone?" I asked frantically, watching her carefully as she whizzed to the bed in her vampire speed and sat down. She was just tempting me more and more and more. Every time she said something too fast for a human to understand, every time she used too much power for a human, every time she ran a little too fast for a human, jealousy would flare out inside of me. I knew she knew, so why was she refusing so bluntly?
"Fine, fine," she smiled assuringly, but then the smile dropped instantly. "They have to amputate Evee's leg."
"No!" I gasped, and queue the waterworks. "They can't! How is...oh Evee...it's my fault...oh that's-"
Jamie shushed me, "We're turning her, so it's only fair if that if you wanna be turned, that you get the choice too."
...
"Jade?"
...
"Lynny, say something..."
...
"Okay, I can't even read your expression, please, say something."
Jadlyn Shire. Vampire. FUCK THE WORLD! In an immensely good way.
"YES!" I shrieked, jumping out to attack Jamie in a hug. "OH MY GOD! YES OF COURSE I DO! YES! FINALLY!"
