Confessions

Keith

It's been a few days since I met Lance's Mom and I still wondered what she had meant. Does the moon work in mysterious ways? What does that even mean? I thought. Could she possibly think that I'm….NO! No way I'm Lance's mate! I'm….a vampire. It's impossible. Right? I really wanted to get a hold of Aleja, but I didn't know how. I frowned angrily and siped my bagged blood. Today was Saturday so no school. But I did need to meet up with Lance for a project we need to do. So I finished my breakfast and headed out the door. The place we were meeting at wasn't far from where I live. So I just walked. When I got there I notest that Lance was, as per usual, late. So I sat down and looked at my phone after ordering. As I scrolled through YouTube I saw a notification pop up on the top. It said that The Blood Moon was in three days. I bared my face in my hands after putting my phone down. What was I doing? I knew that I was going to get hurt.

"Hey Keith! Sorry I'm late." Lance said, rubbing the back of his head. "But I got a lot of my half of the project done."

"It's fine. I'm sure you have a great excuse." I said, leaning my head on my hand and smiling.

"Well the truth is…." The waitress came over stopping Lance from finishing. The waitress was a nice girl named Shay. She was one of the faw humans that knew about us. She and Hunk were also dating.

"Here's you milkshakes boys. Chocolate for Lance and Strawberry for Keith."

"Thanks Shay." Lance and I said. After she left I encouraged Lance to finish what he was saying.

"Well. Um….Did I ever tell you about my dad?" He asked.

"No. Lance, is everything okay?" I asked with worry. I could tell by his expression that something was wrong. "Didn't your dad die?"

"No. But I wish he did." Lance said angrily. I sat back in my chair. Lance's eyes changed to a golden color for a split second. I knew right then and there he was pissed.

"Lance…."

"That fucker ditched my mom and his whole family so he could gain popularity in the Super Council. He somehow got it in his fucking brain that he's better than anyone else. And now he thinks he can walz right back into our lives! Can you believe that?!" Lance growled out.

"Lance…."

"And on top of it all he thinks he can tell ME what to do!"

"What do you mean?" I asked carefully.

"That fucker somehow found out that we're friends and he told me I can't hang out with you cause you're a vamp. I Do Not Care about what you are." Lance said. Shit his alpha voice was hot. It sent shivers down my spine. Fuck I should, 100%, not be actting like that.

"Lance I'm sorry."

"What! Why?"

"I don't know. I just….What does he want?" I asked.

"He wants to be here for the Blood Moon. He wants me to mate this were-wolf princess or something." I was shocked.

"What about your mate?!" I asked.

"He hopes that it's her, but if it's not he said that we'll have to force the bonding." Lance mumbled.

"What! He can't do that!" I yelled quietly so the other people wouldn't hear us.

"He thinks he can. He just doesn't understand there's someone else I would rather be with. But honestly I don't even know if this person likes me back." I felt my heart die a little bit for two reasons. One: Lance had pure sadness laced in his voice. And two: There was no way that someone was me.

"Lance, there is absolutely no reason for that person not to like you. You're funny, kind, smart, and an amazing friend. You are amazing. Please don't doubt yourself." I told him.

"What do you think I should do then?" He asked me with hope in his voice.

I really wanted Lance to be happy so I looked down at the table and said: "Tell them."

"Okay….Um…. Keith?" He started. I looked back at him. "I really really like you. Will you be my boyfriend?" It took a minute for his words to register but when they did I gaped like a fish.

"Hu?" Was my stupid response.

"Will you be my boyfriend?" He asked again with hope in his eyes.
