Weird Dreams and Second Chances
I walked through the house, proceeding into the kitchen, empty. I looked into the living room, empty. I went to Jerome and Alfie's room and saw them both hearts ripped out laying on the floor. A scream ripped from my throat and I went to Fabian and Mick's room and saw the same thing. Room after room I saw the same thing, looking down I stumbled back seeing my blood soaked hands. I ran into the bathroom washing my hands tears streaking my face mouth covered in blood. I opened my mouth and saw my canines elongated, shaking my head I stumbled back falling down. I jumped up out of the bed breathing heavy, looking around. I looked at my phone, checking my phone I saw that it was 4 am, and pulled on my running clothes and tennis shoes. Standing, I walked to Victor's office.
"What do you want?" Victor sneered.
"I'm going for a run."
He nodded and I put my ear buds into my ears, slipping my IPod into the pocket of my sweat shirt. I made my way down stairs and snuck out quietly. I moved with the beat, running to the school and around the track several times. The sweat slowly began to bead at my temple and I ran back to the house, I had been running for two hours, with short breaks. When I came in the front door, Jerome was making his way to the bathroom, and I was panting hands on my knees.
"What are you doing?" Jerome surprised me.
"Went for a run," I breathed. "Look I'm sorry, for not.."
I held up my hand and walked up to him, kissing him on the cheek. When I pulled away grinning I saw the shock on his face. He pulled me close, and kissed me long, and soft; I rested my head on his chest and hugged him tight.
"I'm gonna go shower," I announced pulling away and running up the stairs, and grabbed my clothes jumping in the shower.
I love Saturdays, I thought to myself letting the hot water sooth my aching muscles. I ran shampoo through my long curls, and let the water hit my face. After I finished, I slipped on skinny jeans, a sleeve less tee-shirt, my leather jacket and my combat boots. Walking down the hall I went to grab a protein shake that I asked Trudy to buy and chugged it down, enjoying the chocolate taste. I grabbed a breakfast bar and sat on the couch checking my texts, while munching on the bar. I brushed my hair, and read a new message from Eddie, 'Hey, r u ok? Haven't herd from u in a wile.'
'I'm fine, was sick but fine now' I hit send and heard footsteps behind me.
Looking over my shoulder I didn't see anyone, my phone buzzed and I turned back to it.
'k just checkin'
Jerome popped up behind me, grabbing my shoulders and shaking, making me scream. I clutched my chest and turned to him with an angry look on my face, then broke into a smile. I punched him in the arm and he rubbed the spot of contact, sitting down next to me.
"You're lucky your cute," I admitted, and saw Amber listening in.
"Hey, Amber, you gonna come in or just eavesdrop?" I peered around Jerome and saw her grin.
She walked in and sat on the leather chair, staring at us grinning.
"Are you guys an item?" she blurted.
"Uh, I guess," I said unsure.
"I knew you would get together!"
I nodded looking around, not knowing what to say next.
"Hey you wanna see something cool?" I asked grinning.
They both nodded and I held up Jerome's scarf.
"How did you do that?" Jerome asked.
"Skill," I joked.
Handing him his watch, I laughed at his confused expression.
"Do something else!" Amber squealed.
I pulled off my necklace, placing it in Jerome's hand and closing his fist. I stood and walked over to Amber, holding her hand and I pulled away. The necklace was in her hand, and I grabbed it back, slipping it over my head. They clapped and I bowed, then sat down leaning on Jerome.
