Feeling reluctant to head home, I thought maybe I should have gone to the party instead. As I reached for my phone, a call came in.

"It's Travis."

Damn it, why is he calling?

"I was wondering if you wanted to stop by Jackie's party."

I didn't really want to go, but...

"I guess so, just come pick me up. I'm still at the field."

Id been at the field for hours, with nobody to pick me up. Charlotte asked me if I wanted her to bring me home. I declined, knowing i probably wouldn't be able to control myself.

I waited and waited for Travis to come pick me up, I'd been waiting for about 10 minutes already.

God, I'm so hungry right now.

"I dropped by the liquor store and got us a bottle of Jack."

"Great," I replied, lacking enthusiasm.

We arrived at her house two hours late, but it seemed like nobody cared.

After a few minutes of sitting together, I spotted her, standing alone.

She greeted us with a smile, "Hey, you made it!"

Anxious, I said, "Yeah, I changed my mind. Thought I'd drop by for a little while."

"I hope it's okay, I brought Travis. He asked if I wanted to come."

She looked...

sad.

Why would someone like her be sad right now?

It's a party,

she loves parties.

I see somebody walk up behind her,

Laura Lee.

I know how much Charlotte missed talking

to her, so I decide to leave them alone.

I tug Travis with me to the bathroom and lock the door.

"Woah Nat, don't you think.."

"No."

I kiss him, he kisses back.

Everything's going so fast, I just need a distraction from everything going on.

I move down to his neck, and without his knowledge I bite down a bit until I feel my fangs pierce the skin.

Fuck, why am I doing this to him.

I can't help myself.

His blood is tart and dry, he's been drinking, of course he has.

I let out a moan, I can't stop myself.

His body slowly fell to the floor and I kept drinking, why can't I stop.

My fangs go in further, causing him to feel the sharp pain, but it's too late.

I get out of my trance and see him unconscious on the floor.

Shit. Not again.

I lick the blood off my mouth and his neck and wipe everything up with some water and towels.

There's a knock on the door, so I ask, rushed

"Yeah? Who is it."

"i gotta use the, the bathroom"

Fuck.

Not her.

Why is this happening now.

"Okay, one minute."

"oookay"

I put an unconscious Travis into the bathtub and close the curtain.

After unlocking the door it slams open, and right before me is a drunk Lottie.

She rushes to the toilet and vomits, she's lucky I was in here and not some dude.

I pulled her hair back,

"Get it out, it's alright."

"You brought your car right?"

She nods.

"Alright, give me the key."

She hands me the key, no question.

Why does she always just, trust people.

I picked her up and flung her arm across my neck, but it's a little hard, seeing she's like a giant compared to me.

After shoving her into the car I tell her,

"Give me a second, I'll be right back"

Travis was still in the bathroom.

I rushed inside and picked him up from the tub, doing the same as I did to Charlotte, putting his arm around my neck so it looks like he can still walk by himself.

I fling him into the back seat, and get into the drivers.

How the fuck and I going to explain this to either of them.
