His posture started to relax a little, I think I was letting out a vibe or something because he knew I was there, I didn't move but held my breath.
"What's happening to me?" his voice more relaxed but I could sense how scared he was feeling, he shifted his head but his eyes were closed.
It was only until a few minutes went by that I learned he was talking to me "You- your changing" I said, come to think of it now, I didn't want this at all, the excitement I had in my body before disappeared.
As I spoke, I moved, closer to him.
"I'm sorry" I said, I was now in front of the bed, never looking away "Sorry about this happening to you"
Funnily enough, he managed to chuckle "It's not your fault" he sniffed.
But it was.
"Are you okay?" what an odd question to ask.
The sun was already arriving through the dim curtains, I noticed how the boys room looked particularly the same to the girls room. Technically I was breaking the rules by being in a boy's room right now but that didn't matter.
"At least I'm still alive" I loved how optimistic he was about everything but I think he was just acting strong for my benifit and his "I think"
"Yeah you are" I clarified.
"Is thi-this how it's going to be from now on?" he asked.
"What?"
"Me and this it's... weird"
"You'll get used to it?" that sounded like a stupid thing to say.
"I guess I'll have to, now" he opened his eyes; no wonder he had them closed the whole time.
"You-Your eyes" I paused taking it all in.
I was so used to his normal light blue eye colour that it sort of took me by surprise to see coal black eyes, it looked terrifying yet cute at the same time. I could see the fear in his eyes, I wanted to get even closer to him but I just... couldn't move.
"I know" he sounded disappointed.
"It... it's not that bad" I reassured "trust me"
This time it was him doing the moving as he approached closer to me, looking me into the eyes, I wasn't afraid seeing the amount of fear written across his face.
"I hope so" he whispered, his eyes fell to the floor.
I could sort of imagine the sort of things that went through his mind right now,
'I didn't want this'
'What about my future at football'
'What am I going to tell my parents?'
"Help me get through this" the last one didn't come from me.
"I will" I said slowly wondering what I'm letting myself get into.
"Promise me"
"I promise, Heath" I said, sincerely.
-
The sad truth was, this was all my fault and I didn't want anybody to know about it, only I knew a few would have some sort of idea that it was my idea, honestly I wish I didn't put Heath through all of this.
Heath and I stayed in his room for the entire day, I didn't want to leave his side and he didn't want me to leave him alone with a place 'full of hungry Vampyres' so he doesn't know about everything yet, but I was getting there.
"So, I'm not a vampyre?" he asked... again.
I sighed "No, you're a fledging, blue fledging"
He chuckled "what's that?"
His chuckle defiantly brightened my mood "It's-"
The door opened rapidly, a guy who looked similar to Heath came in when he saw Heath and I on the bed he paused.
"Oh" he said slowly, come to think about it, he looked very familiar; he had dark brown eyes that matched his eyes and a football jersey.
"I didn't know you would still be here" his facial expression showed he felt very awkward as he closed the door behind him.
"Oh Zoey, everyone's been looking for you, again" he said.
I rolled my eyes at that; somehow he knew who I was?
"Right" I said as I got off the bed, Heath watched me "Is this your room?" I asked him.
"Uh yeah, I got kicked out of it last night because..." he paused as he looked behind me at Heath.
"You must be the new dude Mr. Nellie was screaming about last night huh? Never annoy that dude when he is sleeping"
There was a long pause, Heath didn't say anything.
"Uh well I'm Aaron, with two A's" he said with a smile "Welcome roomie"
"I'm Heath... with one H?"
Aaron chuckled.
"Um..." Okay now I was feeling out of place "I'll let you get acquainted, I'll be back later" I made my way past Aaron, closing the door behind me.
It was not until I left the room did I realise why Aaron looked so familiar, sort of, the word 'horse stables' kept ringing a bell in my head.
Okay Zoey, I need to end things- fix things with Erik.
I walked down the hallway on my way to Erik's classroom which I was sure he would be in right now.
"Please!" someone shouted behind me as I jumped and turned around "Don't tell me its true?"
"It's not?" I said pretending I knew what Aphrodite was on about.
"Don't play dumb, Zoey Montgomery, I heard about Heath" She moved swiftly towards me and stopped about a foot away from me.
"How?" it only happened last night!
"Mr. Nellie tells me everything" she had a smirk on her face. 'EW' I thought.
"Yeah, it's true but there is nothing we can do about it now so!" I said as I turned around to go.
"Erik?" she questioned, she rested one hand on my shoulder to stop me from going.
I turned around as she dropped her hand "I was just going to go tell him right now actually" which was sort of the truth but still a lie.
She raised her eyebrows "whatever" she said as if she didn't care about the situation anymore and walked off.
There was no reason for me to knock I just felt it was necessary.
"Come in" he shouted.
I opened the door slowly, Erik watched me, surprised to see me.
"Hey" I said first as I stood in front of the closed door.
"Hi" he said in a low voice, he put his pen down and rose from his seat putting his hands in his pockets, why did he look incredibly Gorgeous right now?
"I'm glad you came to see me" he was still moving closer but stopped, leaving a big gap between us "I want to apologise" he spoke first.
Ah crap.
"I should of never let you choose between me and him- I mean Heath, it must be really difficult and I should of been more sensitive about the situation"
I convinced myself to smile at Erik.
"Do you forgive me?" he moved a little closer but kept his hands in his pockets.
I was too mesmerised in his eyes to answer, so nodded slowly.
He smiled "I'm glad"
"Me too" I said, the words just bursting out.
He took his hands out of his pockets to give me a hug; I hesitated to hold him back but did anyway in the end.
"Oh!" he said as he pulled back from the hug. "I hear there is a new fledging in the house" Mr. Nellie sure does have a big mouth.
"Yeah, there is" I said.
"You've met him?" he asked.
"Sort of" I hated lying to him. Seems like I was doing too much of that lately.
"I should go introduce myself to him" he said, being a new teacher and all he wanted to do his best.
Oh trust me, you guys have already met. "I'm sure you guys will get that chance soon"
I knew I should have left right now but... I didn't want to.
"Hey, let's go out" he said, smiling.
"What?" that question caught me off guard.
"Off campus" he sounded ecstatic about his plan.
I didn't have the heart to say no. Knowing myself pretty darn well, something always tends to happen. Always.
Hey guys! I havn't written a story in a while hm? Apologese.
As mentioned last time, I have been way busy and I hope you didn't get the impression that I gave up on writing. I wrote this all last night and wanted to get it up straight away, thanks for the reveiws, really appreciate it.
There is not much to say other than reveiw and I'm pretty sure the next update will be around the corner (COMING PRETTY SOON).
So this chapter is not as action filled as the others but I'm getting there!
Ooo what happens on their night out ey? I'll be sure to make it interesting, trust me.
Sorry for my suckish type writing.
