Chapter 4: Control
" Kevin! Wait up " I yelled as I walked to school that morning. I noticed Kevin ahead of me and I ran up to meet him. " Hi " he said smiling. " Hi " I said smiling back. He was breathtaking. I thought to myself. Then I remembered. " Wait a sec I got something for you " I said digging through my bag. A minuet later I pulled out his black leather jacket. " You forgot this last night " I said holding it out to him smiling. " Thankyou " He said taking it adn throwing it over his shoulder. I looked at him mezmorized. He had another black tanktop on with a skull with flames around it on the back. " Is something wrong " he asked me still smiling. I shook my head both to answer his question and to snap me out of the transe I was in. Kevin continued walking and I followed next to him. " So Jade can I ask you something . . . "? Kevin said casually to me. " Sure Kevin " I said looking intently at him. " . . . what are you doing this weekend " he said with a hint of fear added to his voice. I'm guessing it was fear that I would reject him. " Nothing . . . " I said trying to hide my own fear that was threatning to tint my voice. " Well . . . uh . . . would you like to . . . well see a movie with me Saturday " he said letting the fear show this time. I smiled. " Sure Kevin I would love to " I said my deep brown eyes meeting his mezmerizing sky blue eyes. He looked at me in disbelief and then smiled his soft alluring smile. He took my hand in his and I blushed. I couldn't believe it. Kevin Moore was my boyfriend. The dreams that I had had about him had come true at last. When we got to the school people just stared at us. I didn't know why. What was so bad about me dating Kevin. So he was a goth. So what. People didn't stare at me when I was dating Eric, but there are differances about Kevin and Eric. Eric was a jerk. Kevin is sweet. Eric is popular. Kevin is not, but Popularity isn't everything. In the end when your all alone and noone wants to be around you . . . you'll be stuck with that popularity that you craved for and lived off of. Kevin he doesn't cae about popularity. Which makes him so sweet and kind . . . and the right person for me. I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard Eric scream something at me and Kevin. " Oh look guys Jade is dating the vampire "! His friends laughed. " Go back to transylvania you freak "! His friend Peter yelled. I growled under my breath, and stopped walking. Kevin looked at me. " Jade is something wrong "? " Kevin are you just going to let them talk to you like that "? I was very angry. How could they treat Kevin like that they didn't even know him. Just because hes different. I looked at him intently and he shrugged like he didn't care what they said about him. I growled and walked- more like stomped- over to Eric and his croonies. " What is wrong with you "! I yelled at them. " Oh whats wrong Jade did I strike a nerve " Eric said laughing. I growled again. " Just because hes different you think you have the right to call him a vampire and to treat him like that " I yelled again. " Hey Bat boy! Are you going to let your little snack stand up for you " Eric yelled at Kevin. That was it. I hauled off and punched him right across his ugly mug of a face. I felt Kevin's arms around me trying to restrain me. I was breathing heavily with anger. " Calm down Jade calm down . . . come on lets get to class let him go. Calm down " he whispered in my ear. I took one look at Eric and saw the blood all over his face from his nose and his mouth. I let Kevin pull me away. He pulled me into the stairwell and I leaned against the wall breathing in and out slowly. Kevin looked at me patiently waiting for me to calm down. I sat on the ground and wrapped my arms around my knees. " I'm sorry Kevin . . . I don't know what came over me " I said laying my head on my knees. He wrapped his ams around me and leaned his head on my shoulder. " Its alright . . . and thankyou " he said quietly. " For what "? I said confused. I had just gave my ex a bloody nose and a busted lip. Why is he thanking me for doing that. " For standing up for me. Thankyou " he said again. I blushed. I had completely forgotten that I had stood up for him. I had let my anger cloud my vision to where I had forgotten why I did that to Eric. I unwrapped my arms from around my legs and wrapped them around Kevin's chest. He kissed my head and I smiled. Then the late bell rang. " Oh crap " we both said at the same time. We both jumped up and bolted upstairs. We got to the classroom and Miss Duboise was writing on the board. We tiptoed into the room, and quietly sat down in our seats. We're Safe. I thought to myself. " Mr. Moore, Miss Leone . . . " Miss Duboise said still writing on the board. Crap how did she see us. " Y-Yes ma'am " Kevin and I said at the same time. " . . . are you ready to show us all you got for this play. We open next week " she said turning around to face us with a smile. She didn't see us. I couldn't believe it. " Yes " we both said. " Well then lets go " Miss Duboise said walking out the door. Kevin looked at me and then I looked at the board. It read: Miss Leone, Mr. Moore Detention today after school. Harsh. I thought as I blushed bright crimson. So she saw us.
Kevin walked back to me and smiled awkwardly. " So I guess she saw us " he said rubbing the back of his head and blushing bright crimson. " But . . . you know what the good thing is about getting detention . . . " I said wrapping my arms around his waist. " What " he said playfully. " . . . we get to serve it together " I said as I kissed him. I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I pulled away and turned around. It was Ushina. " Can I talk to you Jade. Excuse us Kevin " Ushina said as she pulled me out of ear shot of Kevin. " You know you just kissed a vampire " Ushina said whispering as low as she could. " Ushina . . . he isn't a vampire . . . hes a goth. I don't care anyhow . . . I . . . well . . . I love him Ushina " I said blushing. " Jade . . . I just have a bad feeling about this guy " Ushina said with pain tinting her voice. " I just dont want to see you get hurt again " she said. " Ushina . . . Kevin is different . . . I know that he won't do anything to hurt me. He's not like Eric. I trust him Ushina". I said smiling. " Just be careful alright ". " Alright " I agreed.
* In detention *
I sighed with boredom. Why did Miss Duboise have to get Ms Williams to be our detention teacher, and to make it even more worse she seperated Kevin and I. I looked at Kevin he was looking at the clock. I descretely took my phone out and looked at the time. Ugh . . . 4:00pm another half an hour of this torture. I layed my head on the desk and closed my eyes. Before I knew it I was fast asleep and dreaming. I was in a house a house I did not know. It was beautiful though. I walked through the strange house . . . it made me feel at home . . . I was so at peace until a loud crash came from the next room. I ran to see what had crashed and when I saw the scene before me my heart about jumped up my throat. " K-Kevin " was all I could say. Kevin was against the wall in a pool of blood chained up like a dog. I ran over to him, but then I was knocked back into the wall across from Kevin. I looked to see who had punched me and I saw a man with midnight black hair like Kevin and sky blue eyes like him. I was scared. " K-Kevin h-h-help me please " was all I could say. The man before me laughed. He backed away from me and headed for Kevin. He picked him up by his throat and slammed him against the wall. But then the man changed he now had dark black souless eyes and his hair changed from midnight black to blood red. He looked at me and then his arm transformed into a sword. He looked at Kevin and then he rammed the sword through Kevin's heart. " NO "! His voice was cold and hard. His laugh was even colder. " Jade wake up. Jade " I heard Kevin's voice. I looked at his limp lifeless body underneath the mans hand and I knew it couldn't be coming from him. " K-Kevin " I whispered. " Yes. Jade are you awake " he said. I forced my eyes open and tears spilled over my eyelids. " Whats wrong Jade " Kevin asked me when he saw the tears. I shook my head trying to get rid of the dream. I stood up grabbed my bag and walked out the door and into the stairwell. I sat on the steps. " Jade whats wrong "? I looked at him with tears still in my eyes. " I had a dream . . . that . . . you . . . you were killed right infront of me Kevin " I said my voice cracking and more tears flowing. Kevin wrapped his arms around me. " Its alright it was just a dream " he sais rubbing my shoulders. I looked at him, and then I kissed him. He kissed me back and I felt my grip tightning on him. I didn't want to let go of him. His lips went to my neck. I leaned my head back. It felt good. His lips parted like he was breathing in my scent. I felt something pointy on my neck. Like fangs or a knife. Its my imagination. I thought to myself. He pulled away quickly. " Kevin . . . Kevin whats wrong "? I asked him worried. " Nothing . . . I-I have to go . . . I need to be home to do something for my dad. I'm sorry. I'll call you tonight " he said his body was shaking. Then he was gone. He ran down the steps and out the door. I sat on the steps and put my hand on my neck where I felt the sharp object on my neck. I pulled my hand away and saw blood. I ran to the girls bathroom and looked at my neck. There was a tiny thin trail of blood running down my neck. I grabbed a wet napkin and wiped my neck. There was a tiny puncture wound. I ran my fingers over it. Something was not right here. Not right at all.
