October
Jake's POV
In my opinion the summer went by too fast and now I'm sitting in History class taking notes. I wrote down beside my classes who I take them with, I had English and history with Erica, science and math with Benny and Ethan for first semester. That's not even in the right order that's just how I listed them. English is next period. Now to stop thinking to myself and focus on school. First period went by fast besides Erica tapping me on the shoulder every 5 minutes asking me questions about her hair and clothes. When we got to second period our English teacher was telling us about how our class is going to reenact Romeo and Juliet. She began calling out names for what play. I checked my phone while she was doing this, today was October 1 and I had 11 more days till Homecoming. For the part of Romeo and Juliet I will pick a couple who are currently dating. The whole class pointed at me and Erica, you guys are a real help I said out loud to them.
Finally when the final bell rang for today I was glad. I was heading to the parking lot to get a ride home with Erica, when I noticed her car wasn't there. I called her and asked her where she was, she said that she left early because she wasn't feeling well. I said I hope you feel better, I'll get a ride home on the bus if their still here. I rounded the corner to the buses and saw that they weren't here, on second thought I'll walk home, I hung up the phone after saying bye and began walking home. it was getting dark quick and I was only half way home. I heard someone whistle and I turned around and saw a guy with slicked up hair and a black jacket with bluish white eyes. He asked me if I was with Erica which the answer was yes. I started walking away when I felt a hand on my shoulder, hey where you going he said, uh I'm going home then probably to Erica's, yea well we'll see each other around, he then turned and ran away into the woods. He's not right I thought to myself as I continued walking home. When I got home I changed clothes then headed to Erica's house. I walked in, sat down and pulled out my History homework for her to copy. So do you know if we're going to have to actually act Romeo and Juliet in class or record it. Don't know but I'll guess we'll find out tomorrow. Also Erica do you know a guy who has slicked up hair and a black jacket, you mean Jesse she said sounding confused, yea he came up to me today as I was walking home and asked me if I was with you then ran off, that can't be true because last time he came back we finished him off, well apparently you didn't do it all the way and now he's back. He said that he'd be seeing me around. Jesse was always the jealous type Erica replied he's had a thing for me since we met but I never liked him. Alright well I gotta get out of here but I'll be at school tomorrow, I kissed her goodbye then went back to my house. My bed has to be the most comfortable bed in the world because I went right to sleep when I lay down.
The next day in English we found out that we did indeed have to act out Romeo and Juliet in class so I went to the local Halloween store with Erica after school and got some fancy costumes from that time period. When we got back to her house I tried the costume on it felt a little itchy at the shoulders but it was alright. I sat in the living room waiting for Erica to come out, when she did I was shocked. She looked beautiful the way the costume brought out her eyes and face. I got a text from Ethan wanting pictures, so I took a picture of me then I took a picture of Erica. A hour later I was walking home when Jesse came up in front of me. I wasn't to far from Erica's house I could still see it. Alright Jesse what do you want I asked him, me oh nothing just umm let me guess oh yea, Erica. To late man she's with me, I don't know why I mean you're just a human and she's a vampire, yea so what I said starting to get pissed, it's not gonna work out and on Homecoming night you'll see that she didn't want you. I looked back and threw a punch at him but he caught it. You wanna fight okay let's fight. He punched me in the mouth sending me flying right in front of Erica's house. My fighting instinct kicked in and I was blocking almost every punch he threw at me. He then disappeared behind me and picked me up by my throat. Now listen here Jake either you break up with Erica, or I will kill you, and how do I know your serious, he dropped me on my feet then through a right hook connecting with my nose. I guess I'll just finish this now he said. He pulled out a pocket knife and jumped on me trying to get it in my throat. Every second it got a little bit closer and closer. I heard a door open and looked and saw Erica running up to Jesse tackling him off me. He threw Erica off him, she landed in the grass. I then jumped on him and started swinging punches. I heard Erica running with the knife in her hand, Jesse grabbed me and pulled me in front of him, I felt something sharp go right through my neck. Jesse then pulled the knife out and flew away. My whole shirt was now drenched in blood. I fell on my knees, then everything was in slow motion, I started falling towards the ground, the world around me going dark.
Erica's POV
Oh my god what have I just done. I just killed Jake, all because of that stupid Jesse having to come back. I sat there crying for I don't know maybe 3 hours until the Ambulance and police cars showed up.
One day later
I got a call from the hospital. When I got there they told me it was a miracle, they had to pump a lot of blood into him but somehow he came back alive. He asked to see you. I opened the door to his room and saw him laying there watching TV. He looked at me and smiled, I ran over and hugged him, I thought you were dead I said still hugging him, I did die but when I got to heaven god said that it's not my time and sent me back down, I woke up here. I'm just glad you're okay.
One week later
Jake's POV
Today was the big day, I was talking to Erica on the way to English class. We both dressed in our costumes. When we got in we took our seats and our teacher called us up and said begin. We spent the whole period acting Romeo and Juliet and at the end me and Erica kissed. I hope we did good I said to Erica, I think we did she replied our English teacher is crying. Finally Friday I went to Erica's house and got ready for Homecoming.
