I spent that night asleep in the bathtub, not wanting to leave the bathroom. Ayden was waiting outside the door for me. Before I went to sleep I could still hear him pacing back and forth.
I woke up as the sun hit my face, my teeth started an aching sensation, this had never happened before, was it normal? I opened the bathroom door slowly and looked from side to side to see if Ayden was in here, he wasn't so I carefully took a step out but my foot hit something hard. I looked down to see Ayden sleeping in the front of the door. He looked up at me sleepily.
"What…what are you doing out?" he said he looked like he was drunk. His hair was going in every direction and his eyes bloodshot.
"Thirsty" I said softly. Poor guy was so tired he nodded and his head collapsed on his arm. I chuckled and bent down and put both my arms around him picking him slowly of the ground like he had done for me so many times. I brought him to the bed and tucked him in. before I left the room I could here him squeak.
"Yeah?" I asked. He looked up at me barely keeping his eyes open.
"Come here" he whispered sounding like a little kid and then giggling sticking his head into the pillow.
I walked over slowly.
"Yeah?" I said as I bent down so we were eye to eye.
"I have a secret" he said still giggling. Maybe he is drunk. I thought smiling
"what is it" I asked smiling at him.
"I…i, I love someone in this room" he said and his giggle fit continued.
"O yeah," I said playing along.
"Yeah, she's really pretty and I love her. She's really pretty" he said smiling and giggling.
"That's good" I said smiling.
"Yeah…yeah, She loves me too" he said with a smile on his face.
"That's good" I replied again.
"Yeah, I waited for her alllll night to come out of the bathroom but she didn't" he stressed the word "all" and then shook his head.
"O that's too bad, I think she was just upset" I said feeling a bit guiltily.
"Yeah, but I love her, she's the best…were getting married" he said smiling. Defiantly drunk. I noted.
"Well she love you, go to sleep" I said and kissed him on the forehead. He giggled and pulled the blanket over his head.
I shook my head and went down the stairs. I stopped dead in my tracks when I got to the kitchen. Kestrel was standing at the counter. My breathing was labored and I considered turning around. But she would notice. I decided to go to the fridge. I grabbed blood out of the bag on the bottom shelf.
"Not going to say good morning?" she remarked, giving me a cold glance. It made me shutter.
" O sorry, Good morning" I said looking at my purple slippers and shuffling them back and forth.
"Good morning" she replied. Her body was still facing the counter.
"Look, I know it doesn't make a difference. But I was being dumb and I'm sorry for what happened I can't take it back I shouldn't have put either of us in that situation I was a jerk I can't blame you if you don't forgive me I wouldn't if you don't ever want to talk to me that's ok I don't blame you I mean I want you to talk to me again but if you don't it wouldn't be your fault I would do the same thing" I said breathing heavily after all that.
"Look I don't forgive you; I don't think
I ever will." She said coldly. Her voice made my blood freeze and
my stomach dropped, as if it was on a bad rollercoaster.
"Ill
still talk to you. It won't be the same. But I don't understand."
She started.
"Why, How" her voice fumbled she was about to cry.
"Look I can't explain myself. I had no right to do what I did. I tried to choose the right decision, you could have died or turned" I said my voice was fumbling to. Tears treated to escape my eyes. I looked at the ceiling.
"But how could you have put me in that situation" she said. Now she was crying. I could hear her heavy breathing.
"I didn't mean to" I said I was trying very hard to keep the tears at bay.
"Well still" she said.
"Look I made the best decision I knew how. It was either this or you die. You decide within 2 minutes; keep you alive as a monster. Or knock of your chances and leave you to die on my living room floor" I cried out I frowned and walked out of the house and on to the driveway.
