Never Meet Your Role Model

Zendaya bites my neck and before she can fully sink her teeth in-

"ZENDAYA!?!"

She snaps out of her trance and stares into my eyes. Her eyes slowly transform back to normal. Her teeth retract and he veins retreat back into her skin.

She looks around then back at me. She realizes she has me in a tight grip and slowly backs away.

"I'm-I'm sorry" she says as she backs away to run.

Before she can run I grab her wrist and pull her back.

"Are you okay? What the hell was that?" I ask.

"I really have to go." She says to avoid the question.

"It's okay. Your secret is safe with me." I say with kind eyes.

"Okay. Thank you. I'm so sorry." She says.

"It's okay I'm just glad you snapped out of it."

She smiles warmly with apologetic eyes as she walks off.

"I check my hand and feel a pinch in my neck." I realize I didn't ask her about what happens when she bites someone. But before I could catch her I look up and she's disappeared.

I call Jade to let her know I'm okay and had just gotten into a small accident. She tells me to hurry back.
I walk into the hotel room to Jade and she runs to hug me.
"Are you okay?" She says worryingly "let me see your hand"  she grabs my hand gently. "What happened?"
"It's kind of a long story but long story short I fell on glass and the pieces went into my hand" I said as I pulled away.
"Oh okay. What took you so long to come back?" She asks.
"It's not important, it's getting late I should shower."
I say.
Jade looks at me in an understanding way knowing I don't want to speak on it.

Before I get into the shower I check on the bite Zendaya gave me. I try to touch it but it stings. 
"Is it a little more heated than usual in here to you?" I ask Jade through the bathroom door.
"Not to me. I turned the AC on actually. You're feeling hot?" She asks.
"Umm, nah I was just wondering."

I finish up in the shower and as I get out I start feeling lightheaded losing my balance falling out the shower.

"Y/N?!" Jade knocks. "Y/N are you okay?!"
Jade busts in the door and grabs a towel to cover me up. "Y/N? Oh my gosh" she goes to grab her phone.

I begin to gain a little strength back to pull myself back up on my feet, holding the towel to cover myself as much as I can. Jade comes running back in to catch me.
"I'm going to call someone." She says as she dials 911
"No im fine don't call anyone" I said.
"Oh my gosh are you sure?! Look at me," I stare up at her weakly, "YOUR EYES—they—"
"I'm fine I think I'm just exhausted" I brush past her to grab my clothes and get ready for bed.
Jade follows me to make sure I get there safely.

After I get tucked in Jade goes to bed as we call it a night.

"Good night" she said, "you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Sleep tight" I say as I turn over on my belly.

Images of meeting Zendaya, her transforming and widening her mouth to bite me ran through my mind as I flipped and turned all night.
Pain began swimming throughout my body as I clutched the bed sheets.
The dream ended with a flash of light and I jumped out of my sleep. It was already morning.

I scanned the room to see Jade standing at the bathroom door with a concerning look.

"Umm..wassup? You either had a nightmare or a really exciting dream," she chuckled as she walked back into the bathroom. " you were tossing, turning and moaning all night, you good fam?"

I glanced down at my shirt and seen I was dripping in beads of sweat. I got out of bed feeling a bit nauseous and looked back to see the bed was soaked as if someone dumped a bucket of water on me.

"You look a bit pale, ya feelin alright?" She asks.

"Yea— oh no" I ran to the toilet to puke.

"I guess that ginger ale did the trick for ya" she said.

I tell the group I'm headed out for a morning walk.

"Don't get in another accident!" Jade joked.
"Huh? What?" The guys asked.
"Oh. While y'all were passed out Y/N went on a walk an—" their conversation faded out as I walked out the door.

As I think about last night I walk down the street in search of breakfast when suddenly I feel a yank on my arm dragging me into an open car door.

"Wha-" Im cut off by the jolt of the car driving off and a hand covering my mouth.

"Hey!" She says.
"Uhhh Hii, Ze-Zendaya" I say muffled as she continues to cover my mouth.
"So um, sorry about last night I just wanted to make sure—"
I move her hand and cut her off  "Yea, about that," I uncover my shoulder "what do I do about this?"

Her eyes widen "SHIT....UM..okay! No biggie!!"

"Uhh not to be rude, Queen, but uh—no.  THIS IS QUITE A BIGGIE. A nice fat and sweaty biggie! I've felt weak, been in pain and woke up in a serious sweat this morning! What is going on?!" I begin to freak out because she was now the only one I could talk about this with.

She grasps my hands in assurance to calm me down.
"It's okay you'll be fine, I can help you. Please I'm sorry I didn't mean to. Let me help you. "
