Chapter 12.
I sat on the stool and wondered if I should go apologize to Derek, Hey I didn't know he was a foster kid. I wish I had though, I feel bad now for bringing it up. I looked up at Jessica and she still had on a frown, she had had it on eversince Derek walked out the room and just wanted to shout out I'm sorry. But instead I grabbed my bowl got a third serving and brought it to my room knowing I would get hungry later, slowly I shut my door and grabbed my phone. I saw my phone said I missed eight calls four from Amber, one from Trey, and the other three were from the hospital but I just threw the phone across the room and sighed rubbing my temples. Looking at my clock I saw that it was 1:26, Amber wouldn't be home for awhile so was stuck to talking to Maddie.
"Maddie?" I crawled down to pick her up but she yipped and ran to the closet, "Maddie what's wrong?" I tried to get her out but she wasn't budging just when I got a bad feeling in my stomach and slowly turned to see a figure standing in my window and gasped. But the figure jumped in and flashed over to me covering my mouth before i could scream. I shut my eyes knowing i might die and shuddered at the feeling the hand gave me it seemed so familiar, Wait!?
"Alicia please don't scream..." I flickered my eyes open to see Johnathan and his perfectly hazel eyes and I was frozen, "Okay I'm gonna let go of your mouth but please don't scream if you do I'll have to use drastic measures." He had his eyes locked on mine so i nodded and he moved his hand. I moved back farther into the closet and he sighed when I began to whimper, God knows why.
"How are you alive I got a message from your brother saying you died?" I was shaky.
"I faked my death when they left the room of the church at my funeral I jumped out wrote closed casket funeral and came here." He said as if it were casual.
"Why did you fake your death you had the perfect life why would you leave it?" I knew this was wrong with the whole me dating Derek thing but heyy I need to know what's going on with Johnathan.
His eyes looked over me and sighed, "i needed to come and find you Alicia how many times do I have to say I'm sorry for you to take me back?"
"A trillion billion gazilion times and then not even then!" I shouted in a whisper with anger boiling up in my ears.
"Alicia please I'm sorry I came all the way out here because I want you to know I still love you..." my heart stopped and he stepped forward but I stuck my foot out stopping him. "Why Alicia what is it?"
"You cheated on my you bastard your a jerk and and..." i didn't know how to bring up Derek.
"It's that guy isn't it? Derek?" I brought my eyes to his and froze.
"How do you know about Derek!?" He got up his jaw clenched and turned for the window.
"I should have known to believe her when she told me about him."
"Who?"
"It doesn't matter I'll be back." I jumped up to stop him but he had already jumped from the fire escape. I stood near the closet when the door bust open, I turned to see Logan and Derek. Derek's fangs were showing as he growled and Logan's jaw was clenched.
"Jess come on you and me are going after him Logan keep her safe," Logan looked as if he were going to protest when Derek jumped for the window and said, "I trust you!" And with that he and Jessica was gone I turned to Logan and gulped.
"Alicia I can promise you I won't hurt you, that day I attacked you I didn't know what happened I-I i just lost it for a minute." Even though I was still scared about that day I pulled myself up from the closet floor and walked over to him placing my hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay Logan I understand you were drunk it was an accident I forgive you." His eyes rose to look at mine and stared.
"Alicia that's the thing vampires can't get drunk I just don't know what happened and and..."
"Logan I don't care what happened as long as you know I forgive you."
"I'm so sorry Ali." I hated it when he called me that but I let him and pulled him in for a hug, I sat on my bed and could feel his sadness and knew he was sorry. When I sighed he tightened the hug and I gasped when I heard him growl, i tried to look up and saw his teeth beared and I began to shudder.
"What is it?"
"Someone's here." He loosened the grip he had and pushed me slowly behind the door as he walked out of my room and toward the front door. I watched from the crack in my door as he looked through th peak hole and he smiled, which got me to loosen my fear grip on my handle. "Midget what are you doing here!?" He opened the door to reveal a girl around fourteen, light brown hair sorta blonde, short, with a pink shirt, a backpack, and a really cute face.
"Jessica came and picked me up she said Derek wanted to keep an eye on me while mom is outa town to Aunt Sara's house. So where is everyone?" He let her in and she looked around as she dropped her bag, Who is this girl!? She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me and the most irritating shriek hit my ears as she literally ran at me.
"Hi I'm..."
"Oh belive me I know who you are you're you're Alicia Reynolds, straight B average student, dominacan, dark brown hair/red highlights, eighteen, middle child of three until your sister's tragidy, and I'm so sorry..." I raised my hand and she understood to stop.
"Um I'm sorry it's not that I'm not flattered but um how do you know all these things?" My eyebrows raised she giggled.
"Oh sorry I'm a little excited, but I'm a computer wiz eventhough I don't look like it but I'm a grade A hacker." She smiled as I gasped and looked up at Logan.
"It's true she once broke in a top secret FBI case and didn't get caught." He winked.
"I found out that one of the most famous presidents stole money from the economy to pay for a $600,000,000 sweet sixteen for his daughter AND niece. But that's as much as i'll tell you..." She wallked away and continued, "oh and my bros most hot, perfect, nice, and funny girl he's ever dated, I know because I broke into his labtop and his most secret files and that was word for word." She smiled and grabbed my hand leadiing me to the couch as if she lived here and we sat down, she reached in her bag and pulled outa notebook, glitter pen, and a huge bag of Doritos, "I love these want some?" I stuck my hand in and got a handful of the chips and she opened the book and looked up at me.
"So I wanna get to know you what's your fave color?"
"Um purple." She kinda got me feeling like a little kid.
"Do you like sports if you do what?"
"Baseball, volleyball, and tennis." Everything I was saying she wrote down in her book.
"What do you wanna do for a living?"
"Be a singer or maybe a special victims detective." She was tearing away at the pages.
"Do you have a secret obsession?"
"Um I bite things when I'm nervous."
"How many boyfriends have you had before Derek?" She raised her eyebrows which made her hazel eyes show more.
"Eight."
"Mhhmm are you a virgin?"
"Um yeah maybe we should do this another time." I felt my voice go a little squeaky, I got up and heard her sigh and walked over to Logan in the kitchen preparing a huge sandwich and laughed, "If you empty my fridge again making a sandwich Ima stab you!"
"Don't worry it won't hurt me I'm immortal remember." I widened my eyes and looked over to Jenny as she stood right next to me, just when I smile broke out on her face.
"Don't worry Alicia i know about vampires and Derek and Logan's secret so it's nothing to worry about." Her smile was just so sweet, inoccent, and cute.
"Oh well that's cool so um..." I heard the lock on the door turn and saw the short flowing blue hair and was so happy that Amber came home just then. I ran at her in a hug and she smirked.
"Heyy babe what's up why did you go home early?" Her brows raised her smirk tightened.
"I didin't feel good so I um you know I got Derek to drive me home." I shrugged but I knew she didn't believe it.
"Oh really then why didn't you ask me I would have takin' you ho
me? Why is Logan here and not Derek? And who's the little girl?"
"Um Derek left, she's Derek's little sister, and i really couldn't make it down the hall so Derek carried me to the car and brought me home. Oh and Logan came with us because he didn't want to go to school so he came."
"Okay so how old is she like twelve?"
"I'm fifteen." Jenny shrugged and that's when Trey and Freddie walked in Freddie froze when he saw Jenny.
"Uh who is that !?" He was mentally drooling when he spoke I laughed and Trey pushed his jaw back in place.
"I'm Jenny you're Alicia's brother Freddie right?" Jenny said in a cute girlie voice sticking her hand out to Freddie and he paused before grabbing it slowly.
"Yeah I'm Freddie I like your um bookbag pin." I loooked over at her bagand saw a pin that said 'I LOVE GAMING'.
"Oh well I love computers and I'm a real hacker!" Jenny said it with pride.
"Really so am I wanna come see all my break-in stuff!?"
"Deffinitely!" He led her to Trey's room and I could hear them laughing and smiled to myself. I looked up at Amber and saw she was looking at my arm and I looked down to see a bruise, Crap when Chantel or if that isher name gripped my arm earlier! I looked up at Amber and she ran at me pulling me into my room full speed.
She slammed the door and looked at me, "What happened to your arm? Did Derek hit you? Did you get into a fight? What the hell happened to your arm Alicia stop sitting there in silence!?" She screamed at me and I felt tears in my eyes.
"Amber I..." Before I could finish there was a voice in my head.
"Alicia you can't tell her the truth she'll freak out and get worried just wait we'll tell them all soon." I sighed at the sound of Derek in my voice and knew he was right Amber freaks over everything.
"I felt when I was at school I wasn't really good like I told you but when Derek took me to the car i fell and got this." I looked up at her and saw the disapointment in her eyes and felt real bad that I was lying to her. I got up from my bed and hugged her, and she sniffled.
"Babe I thought we were besties I thought we told each other everything even real deep secret stuff. And I can't tell when you're lying so I just want the truth." She pulled back and looked me right in the eye.
"If I told you the truth both of our worlds will come crumbling down."
"Fine Alicia." She pulled away and walked out the door, she walked past everyone, grabbed her bag, and walked out the front door. Trey tried to follow her but she told him to stay and she left, I looked out my window and saw her jump in the car and punch the steering wheel which made my heart jump as tears filled my eyes. They began to fall as I watched her hold her face in her hands, wyis Derek keeping me from telling her. Just as I thought about it Amber tryied to start the car but it wouldn't start, she climbed out and began to walkdown the street when I saw it cross the street, THE BLACK FIGURE! I knew Logan would never let me out the front door so i threw on my sneakers and a jacket and pulled my window up hard and jumped out, I flew down the stairs in secounds and was on the ground before I knew it and began to run in the direction Amber had went. I looked at the sky and saw it was getting dark but puumped my legs harder knowing if I didn't get to her soon I might lose her again.
