When You're Different in School

Chapter 18: Bloody Answers

"Hey Crystal. I didn't think I'd see you here."

"What are you doing here?" I asked angrily.

"No need to be rude. I'm here with my friends but they've disappeared." He said looking around.

"Yeah, there in a room dead."

"What are you talking about?"

I grabbed his wrist and pulled him behind me to the room I was just in a little bit ago. I opened the door to find Abby passed out on the bed next to Chase's dead body. I shoved Joe in and his eyes got really big.

"What the fuck happened?!"

"Chase raped me so Dezz drank this one when Chase wouldn't answer my questions. Then Sadie drank this one when he still didn't. So Abby pushed him down and he finally spilled. So you'll answer my questions or the same will happen to you."

He looked really scared. He stood his ground but I could tell inside he was freaking the fuck out.

"How do you know about me?"

"I put things together. The red eyes, getting headaches from the sun, never wanting to be near blood, pasty white skin, it all pointed to you being a vampire. Plus sometimes I would get a glimpse of your fangs." He says truthfully.

"Why tell Chase?"

"I needed someone to get you away from Tyler. I didn't know he would try to rape you."

"He didn't try...he succeeded. Last question...why the notes?"

"I've liked you for the longest time. I just never could tell you."

"That still doesn't answer my question." I said pinning him to the bed. "Why did you write them and leave them in my locker? Why didn't you put your name on at least one?"

"I couldn't face you. I was scared if I gave them to you myself, you would reject me. I had planned on writing my name on one before I would ask you out but you went and got Tyler."

"Is that why you don't like him?"

"From the moment I saw you with him I knew he was the same. You could get close and not have to worry about hurting him. I wanted to be that person for you."

"You know, jealousy doesn't suit you." I said getting off him.

"I've been told." He said sitting up.

"You do know this needs to stop."

"I know. I just don't want to let you go. I mean...I love you Crystal."

"Joe." I said wrapping my hands around his head and holding it close to my chest. He wrapped his arms around my torso and took a deep breath. "I really wish I could say that I loved you. I do but it's different. I care about you and I don't want to see you get hurt. I'm sorry."

"I know. Can I say one thing?"

"Anything."

"I love getting to sit here with my face on your boobs."

"Pervert!" I screamed pushing him away.

"You were the one who put it there."

"Its not my fault they're perfect." I said lightly pushing them up. He raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"That they are."

"Douche!" I said pushing him off the bed. He laughed and pulled my wrist so that I landed on top of him.

"For that, you lose blood." I said with my fangs on full view.

"Sorry."

"To late." I acted like I was going to bite him and he laughed once he realized I was joking. We both laughed as we sat up.

The smell of fresh blood made its way into my nose and my instincts kicked in. I looked around and saw Chase slowly starting to stir. I popped up and pinned him down.

"Crystal!" But it was to late. I had sank my teeth in and began drinking what was left of his blood.
