I Love You Mr. Vampire

Chapter 32

I went to my 1st class. I sat near Jack.
"Liz!?" Jack said.
"Hi." I replied.
"I didn't expect you to come…
Are you okay?" Jack asked.
"I'm fine.
I was just a little sick." I answered.
"You didn't answer anyone's texts. We have been worried…" Jack said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't feel like going on my phone." I said.
"Because of what everyone's saying…?" Jack asked.
"You mean that I hooked up with the entire football team?" I asked him.
"Uh… umm… yes…
Not that I believe any of this!" Jack said.
"You don't?" I asked.
"Of course not!
I know you wouldn't do something like that. And as soon as I heard Samantha's name, I knew this was bullshit." Jack said.
"It is." I replied.
"Don't let this get to your head, that's exactly what she wants." Jack said.
"Easier said than done." Liz said.
In next class, Ian sat next to me. When I thought my day couldn't get any worse. It got worse. God if I wasn't outright terrified of him just now, I'd swoon all over him. Just like everybody else. Only if they knew… Maybe it'd not change anything. People are so focused on looks maybe they just wouldn't care that they were his preferred dish. Ian has been always too perfect. Too beautiful, too smart and too irresistible. I should've connected the pieces. I kinda did. But he manipulated me to think otherwise. Shit I was starting him for so long. Ian paused his movement and my body got tense again. I didn't realise I had held my breath this whole time.
After class when I went outside, everyone was staring me and talking bad things about me and teasing me. I went to the library, the only place I can be in peace. No student came here. I grabbed a book to get my mind off literally everything. As if learning that vampires exists wasn't enough. Now I had to deal with immature teenagers as well.
"When will I ever get a break?" I asked to myself.
Suddenly Daniel came in.
"Not now." Daniel said.
That was unexpected and weird.
"You've been warned, Liz.
We told you to stay away from him." Daniel said with her ice cold face.
"Why are you being like this!?
Just because I talked to him??? Because I was near him!? Why the hell are you so crazy about Ian?!" I asked her.
"And you're not?
Don't accuse others if you're just as guilty as we are." Daniel said.
"That's not the same.
I don't bully you!" I replied.
"So, you'd be okay if Ian and I were together?
You wouldn't mind? At all? Wouldn't be jealous?" Daniel asked me.
"I would never go that far to keep you away." I answered.
"Then you don't really love him." Daniel said.
"What is your relationship with him anyway?" I asked.
"You wouldn't understand.
And your relationship with him won't ever be as real as ours. You should leave, Liz." Daniel said.
"What?" I said.
"Leave this school for good.
As you can see nobody wants you here. Everybody hates you. Including the boy you love." Daniel replied and left.
Maybe she was right. Maybe I should leave. This was all too much for me. I wasn't that strong. I wasn't the heroine that would be able to go through all of this, to only shine at the end. My shine would never come.
I went inside the the bathroom and when I came outside. All the students was waiting for me outside of the bathroom. They were telling dirty and bad things about me, just because of Football team and Samantha's fake rumours about me.
"How could she do this?
She really thinks she's special!" A student teased me.
"She really needs reality check ASAP." Another girl teased.
"Honestly, I don't even like it if they're that easy. Where's the fun? Nah I don't mind! I mean look at her, she's so hot." A guy said.
And many more bad things about me.
"Don't cry.
Don't cry.
Breath… shit…" I was thinking.
That's when Ian came and stood infront of me.
"You'll forget everything that you were told about her. She didn't do anything. Your lives are as boring as they were before." Ian said to them.
And they forgot the fake rumours about me.
"What did you do?" I asked Ian.
"Made them forget." Ian replied.
"They don't remember anything?" I asked.
"Nothing about this stupid rumour about you." Ian replied.
"Did you ever do this with me?" I asked him.
Before he could tell anything I ran away.

In the evening, I couldn't stop pacing around my room. I had too many questions lingering in my head. Question I couldn't answer myself. Only IAN could. And there was still this, that bite mark on my neck. It scared the shit out of me. Something had to happen. But I didn't feel different. My body had just felt weaker before. But that was probably the result of the massive blood loss I suffered. There was only one way to put my ever growing thoughts at ease. I can't believe I was doing this but I went to Ian's house for all the answers.
The window was still broken, so I went inside through it. It was so freaking dark inside his house.
"Of course, it's dark, he doesn't need any light to see anything. He probably has some superior vision…" I was thinking.
Suddenly Ian came infront of me and startled me.
"What did I do now?" Ian asked me.
"YOU…
Don't scare me like that!" I said.
"You broke into my house.
Am I supposed to be polite?" Ian asked.
"You're one to talk!
You broke into my room all the time." I replied.
"You got me there." Ian said.
As I tried to calm myself from his sudden appearance and my anger at his behaviour. And then I realised that he was dressed in nothing but a bath towel.
"Can't you put on some clothes!" I said.
"First you break into my house and now you tell me what I should wear?" Ian asked me.
"Well then fix the window if you don't want anyone to come through." I replied.
"I usually don't have stalker to be careful of." Ian teased me.
"I'm NOT your freaking stalker!" I said.
"This situation says something different." Ian said.

When Ian and I fought like we always did I almost forgot why I was here. What he was. The reason I was scared of him. I looked at him. He made it so easy to forget. And I didn't like to admit this to myself, but I missed being like this with him. Yes, it was exhausting and annoying but we both always kinda enjoyed it. But now was not the time to have fun. That wasn't the hot, teasy boy I thought he was infront of me. No. He wasn't even human. An incredibly dangerous predator was standing in front of me. The boy was gone. He never been there from the beginning.
"We need to talk." I said.
"Do we now?" Ian asked.
"Yes.
I want you to answer all of my questions. And don't even think about lying and hiding anything from me. You owe me that." I replied. We both knew why. The evidence was still deeply engraved into my neck.
"Okay.
I'm gonna tell you everything." Ian agreed.
He said with that deep voice of his. A shudder ran through my body. I wanted this. But hell did it scare me. As I've said before, I wasn't the heroine. But at least I wanted to try to not break. Break into a thousand pieces infront of the most dangerous guy I've ever came across.
