CHAPTER SEVEN

Eric's Point of view 2

I found Adrienne gossiping in the hall to some of the people I was friends with. She was probably saying stuff about Hayden. Just another annoying thing she was particularly good at.

"…yeah I know. But I don't know her name. She's just some really big loser with like no friends obviously." She said with a large smirk across her face.

"Adrienne we need to talk. Now!" I said as I squirmed to get her out of the large group of people. "You know that's not true! She has plenty of friends not to mention me. Plus how did you find out about her in the first place."

"Oh what ever do you mean Eric?" She said trying to sound all innocent. "I didn't hear anything from some girls in your English class about who your new bffl is. Plus what's she to you anyways. She's a weak pathetic human. This is why I came in the first place. I knew you would obsess over somebody else all over again and then end up probably exposing us you need to remember Eric. You don't control your life anymore. If your brother and sister knew about this they would both be on your case the second they heard it from me." She smiled. She always knew just how to ruin my good days. This was probably the first good day I'd had in a couple of years.

"Your leaving. Now!" I hissed. "She is none of your business and plus who said she was meant to be more than just a friend to me." The words stung as they came across my mouth. She was way more than just a friend to me. I wanted to be with her every moment of the day. Just to embrace her made me feel happy. Mine.

She had a look of bewilderment across her face. She didn't expect those words to come from me, and I knew she couldn't tell I was lying. I could make a deer pooping out a raccoon sound plausible.

"Fine but I will be back soon. Eric don't fool around with a person like me. You know how it ended up last time for your "little friend."

She had always been like this stubborn and annoying, but at least she was gone for now. But is for now long enough?

I needed to be with her. My soul ached at the thought of leaving her and not seeing her over this weekend. Maybe I'll talk to her after school. Just once.

I eagerly walked away from my locker as I saw Hayden walking out the front door. She was catching up with her sisters. I fastened my pace to catch up with her as I heard the words come out of her sisters mouth.

"Yeah it is every year really. Humans don't really like to do the same thing everyday. I guess especially Eric McLaine." Trisha said disgusted.

"What?" Hayden said seeming overly concerned.

"Well I guess people are saying he's got a crush on some girl in his English class. I heard she's some really big loser and nobody really knows who she is. I mean everyone has to have at least one friend. Even you've got that new Kaitlin girl, right?" Trisha said joking.

"Yeah she's a good buddy." She said almost speechless.

Well I could tell that wasn't a situation I wanted to be involved in. I knew she probably liked me but if her sisters didn't I didn't want them to twist her brain in to thinking I was a complete loser she should never be around. Then what would my chances of talking normally around her again be? Slim to none.

I felt the hard ground crash against my face as I soon noticed I was on the ground with nothing but sand in my mouth. "Hey what was that for?" I yelled. I knew it was Lucas. Why did he always have to be such a pushover. Literally.

"Oh come on bro! Don't get so angry over one little tackle. I didn't mean to rough you up too much." He joked. "hey and who was that girl you were just checking out? I've never seen her around before." He smiled. "Whoa whoa whoa wait! Is that the one girl Adrienne was telling me about?" He said surprised.

"AGAIN! I can't believe she would do that to me after I asked her to leave! Twice! She knows she's not welcome here but when it comes to annoying she passes with flying colors! I shouted.

He just smirked.

Monday Mid- Afternoon

(Lunch)

Lucas and I ran through the lunch line as we picked up our "Daily Meal" and found a small secluded area to sit down in. He told me he had something of great importance to tell me so all I could do was wait for the news.

"SHE wants to talk to you." He whispered. "After lunch. Skate park. Don't be late." He looked down at his tray. "Oh and Eric. It sounded important.

I quickly set my tray down as I walked out the front door immediately. What ever was so important to her I couldn't wait. Just the thought of her wanting to be alone around me made me smile. Especially for the monster I was.

She was sitting on a park bench as I walked up to her slowly with the biggest smile across my face.

"Hey Lucas said you were looking for me." I smiled. "And I thought you didn't skip class." I laughed.

But the look on her face was stale. White and cold. How could she seem so upset? Was there something I did wrong?

"Eric." She said. Her tone was filled with seriousness and a slight notion of regret. Regret for being here with me. I had done something wrong even though I hadn't had the faintest idea of what it could be. I would make it better. I knew I could make it better. "We need to talk." She finally choked out.

"Your not human are you?" She said with a grievous look upon her face.

I couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. How could she know about my secret? "Who told you?" I questioned suddenly serious. "You don't know what your getting yourself into Hayden. Why don't you just forget about this and leave." I choked as I started to walk away, but she suddenly pulled me back towards her with a strength that wasn't human.

"That's what you don't get." She sputtered. " I don't need to forget I need to remember." She cried.

My facial expression went to total shock. Alexis was still alive even after that blow to the head. It was my once in a lifetime coming back to give me a second chance. A miracle if you will.

And then out of the corner of my eye I noticed she was watching us. As soon as my moment of happiness was there it was gone. She would report me. I wouldn't be allowed to see my Alexis again. Ever. I had to create a diversion.

"Your not supposed to be alive." I said shakily. "Please stay away from me. It's for your own good." And with that said I started towards town where Adrienne had been watching me from. She was no longer needed here and I knew she would never go away. She had only one option now.

I would kill her with silver.
