Secrets

2.4 abomination

The next day I'm still bed ridden. I eventually get so bored I beg Melissa if I can take a walk. She lets me walk around the floor with mom until dad comes up to us.

"Vic. Can I talk to you?" He asks her.

"About what?" She asks.

He looks at me and I sigh walking away. "Hey." Dad calls after me.

I turn to him. "No eavesdropping." He says.

I roll my eyes and go back to my room where Isaac is standing in a corner. "What are you doing here?" I ask staying close to the door scared.

"I just wanna know if you're okay." He says softly staying by the open window.

"You gonna jump out of it?" I ask looking at the window.

"You wanna jump with me?" He asks with a slight smile.

"Did you do it? Kill your dad?" I ask.

He looks at me and shakes his head looking at his hands again with tears in his eyes. He wipes them away. "I don't know what it was. But I couldn't save him." He says softly.

"I couldn't save my parents. I was just five years old and they died in a fire. My whole family died." I say closing the door behind me.

"I'm the last person in my family alive. Just me and the baby. We're the last of my blood." He says looking at my belly.

I put my hand on it softly. "Did you know?" I ask. 

"I figured it out when you started getting sick. And when you missed your period." He says.

I smile and step forward. "You always did notice things like that." I say looking up.

He smiles and looks at his hands again. "I'm sorry for hurting you. But it's just harder to have control." He sighs.

"But that night... when I got pregnant. You were already turned then. How come you had control back then?" I ask walking towards him.

He puts his hand behind my ear and his other hand on my back. "You give my control. I just lost it last time I saw you." He says.

I kiss him softly and he pulls me closer. "I love you, Is. Nothing can change that." I say looking in his eyes.

"I love you too, Alice. I'll always love you." He says.

"You should go." I say kissing his cheek.

He nods and walks back to the window. "I'll always be near you. Just scream and I'll find you." He says looking at me.

"I know." I smile softly.

He goes to jump down but I stop him by running forward and grabbing his arm. He looks at me and I kiss him again.

It feels like a last kiss and he pulls me closer wrapping his arm around me. I pull back and he looks at me. "Why?" He asks with a frown.

"I'll choice my friends." I say softly before stepping away.

"What about the baby?" He asks.

I look at him and the door opens as a tear rolls down my face. I wipe it away and turn around knowing he's gone.

Dad looks at me with a soft smile and I try my hardest not to cry. He sighs and opens his arms. I run into them and start crying in his chest.

The next day is boring and I don't do much except for walking a little and reading or sleeping.
