8th String: Hard-headed

A/N: Oooohhh... the Neon love team! I ship them! Hahahahaha xD
Think we should hash tag this. #Neon xD Hahaha

Oh and sorry if it's not outlined by sign pens, I ran out of ink and school had ended so... I couldn't buy any. You see, there's a spot near the school that sells sign pens. Cheap ones. And I buy there cause I don't want to waste money. Why? Cause I'm awesome like that. Hahaha, kidding! Now, let's hear from Leonel.

Sorry, I had to repost it cause something went wrong, anyway, the next chapter's gonna be posted soon! Probably this week, I'm not making any promises though. :) anyways, a photo of Leonel here :) anime, AGAIN. Haha! :D sorry if the background's not colored, I'm working on it.

8th String:

Hard-headed

×Leonel's POV×

"One m-more bottle of b-beer, please!" I shouted at the bartender as I raised my empty shot glass, stuttering. I hated how I sounded right now. I always thought of myself as strong, well, being a top student in a Hunter school would do that to you, but now, I feel so weak. I feel like a scrawny, ordinary human. I didn't hate humans, they're just really thin and can't seem to protect themselves. Well, most of them, if not all.

I wonder, how can a girl like Natalie do this to me? Why do I feel so... broken? I mean, she's just a new girl, but then why do I feel like this? Why do I feel as if someone really important to me just betrayed me? One day has passed, but the pain's still there. What, is it gonna stay there forever? Please no... I want to get over this so badly. I want to be able to trust Natalie again, and hang out with her everyday. I don't know how she does it, but whenever I'm with her, everything just seems to go away. It's like we're the only ones in a certain dimension. Her very presence calms me. Her smile... it just works wonders on me. It makes my heart throb painfully, but in a good way. Her eyes... it just seems to lock mine in place. Never letting go. I don't know how... but Natalie does all that. And being away from her hurts.

Don't ask me, I have no answer to that.

"Sir, are you sure? That's your fifth bottle right there. And you don't seem sober anymore. I don't think you should have another one. You should go home now, if you drink more, you might not reach home at all and just pass out cold on the street."

I stopped moving and observed the bartender. He seems to be around my age, and he's pretty thin. Was he human?

"A are you *hic* human?"

He looked at me like I was crazy. "Excuse me? Sir, we are all human."

I cocked my head to the side. Was this person really clueless? There were vampires lurking around the corner, one was even my friend. And me, a human? Is this guy attempting to make me laugh? "You've got to be kidding me, man." I tapped the counter lightly. "Are you saying that what my father told me was a lie?"

And then he looked like he would cry anytime. What, did I say anything threatening? I was only asking him if what Dad said was a lie! "Um... no, sir. Maybe you just heard that from a fairytale..."

My brows furrowed and I glared at him. Fairytale? I made this weird sound that I didn't know I was capable of making, and the thin human staggered back. "Fairytale? FAIRYTALE?! Are you saying that Natalie isn't real?!"

He visibly flinched at my voice and I got even more pissed. "ANSWER ME WHEN I ASK A DAMN QUESTION!!!!" I shouted and threw the shot glass at him, hitting him right on his forehead. He suddenly went down. I stared at him in amusement and looked around. A crowd had gathered around me. I know I shouldn't be taking pleasure in this moment, but I just couldn't help it. I giggled. Yeah, giggled. Weird, right? I sound so gay. But I just didn't care about anything at the moment. I wasn't myself. My taking pleasure instead of running away from the crowd tells that much. "Oops... Maybe I threw it too hard..."
