Chapter 2 – An Open Wound

"So, who was that new guy that sat next to you in maths? He was kinda cute!" Lindsey began the inevitable interrogation.

"Gerard something? Not sure." I tried to play it cool without showing my new found fascination for the strange new boy.

"Do you think he's hot then?" she winked at me suggestively.

"Honestly? Yeah he's hot, but it's a lost cause."

"Why?" Alicia asked now.

"He's evidently not gay."

"You don't know that for sure." Alicia was always so optimistic. I shrugged it off.

"Weren't we going to order a pizza? It's gone seven, and my stomach currently hates me." I changed the subject quickly, avoiding the awkwardness.

"Oh yeah! You wanted vegetarian, right Frankie?" Lindsey made her way over to her house phone and dialled the pizza place. I nodded in her direction. We usually go to Lindsey's after school; tonight was no exception.

"I think you need to get to know him. Then you can win him over with your gay charm." Alicia winked at me. I threw a pillow at her from the couch in my defence when words failed me…

"The pizza was great, thanks Lindsey. I think I should head back now though. Mother will be trippin'." I chuckled slightly at my laughable attempt to mock a gangster.

"Alright. See you tomorrow, Frankie." The two of them hugged me and I walked out into the night.

The rain hammered down onto my face, smudging my ebony eyeliner down my ghostly pale cheeks. I pulled up my hood, although there was really no point; I was already soaked to the bone.

I began my walk down the sidewalk, plunging my hands into my pockets. Fucking shitty weather…I turned the corner to head into West Hudson Park. Numerous bodies had been found in the park's infamous lake, but it's the quickest way home, so…

I was halfway through the park when I was hit by a ton of bricks. At least, that's what it felt like…Something collided with my side, but was gone again as suddenly as it had arrived.

"Hello?" I called out into the darkness. No answer…Well there wouldn't be, would there? I crawled to my feet and began to run, when someone grabbed my wrist. Whoever it was was too strong for me; I couldn't break the hold, no matter how much I struggled.

"Shh, Frank. It's only me." The voice sounded so familiar, yet I couldn't place it. Wait…That's…

"Gerard? What the fuck?" No I was facing him, my wrist still in his grip.

"Yeah, it's me. I just couldn't stay away. You're too god damned sexy, Frankie." His face edged closer to mine. His voice was sexy and seductive, but what the fuck was he saying?

"What are you talking about?" He silenced me by smashing his lips to mine. A million thoughts rushed through my mind at once.

What the fuck is he doing?

Why is he being so forceful?

Fuck, he's a good kisser.

He's so hot.

What the fuck is happening?

I succumbed to the kiss after a while. His tongue grazed my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I was unsure at first, but I eventually gave permission. He explored my mouth with his tongue, clashing it against my own.

He began kissing my jaw line, moving down to my neck where he lingered for a while. Suddenly, he opened his mouth wider than he had previously, and a sharp pain ran through my neck. It's origin; right where his lips were placed. What the fuck?

I began to feel a sucking sensation. Oh god, he's sucking my blood! I tried to push him off, but I couldn't. I was growing weaker with every suck. My knees buckled beneath me and I fell to the floor. He still latched onto my neck.

"Please…Don't kill me…" I whimpered with every ounce of energy I had left in me. He pulled himself off with what seemed like great effort on his part and stroked my face.

"I wont baby, I promise you." He then licked over the open wound in my neck. What is this guy's problem?

I felt something happening to the wound, like it was closing over…

I didn't get a chance to find out; my vision had been completely engulfed in a blanket of black mist.
