Twilight

-2 weeks later-

I had agreed to stay with Jace, until my neck was okay. It was feeling better, but i wasn't.

———— ————-
I breathe in the fresh air, gardeners pass me busily, old watering cans and blooming flowers scattered across the spacious green grass. The song Gypsy, by Fleetwood Mac plays through my ears. I flip through the book i'm gripping, Twilight. I don't like relating to the book, it's unrealistic, a blood thirsty vampire marrying a human girl, going to school? It never made sense, but i can't be one to talk, now can i?
I look up from my book and see Jace sword fighting with some muscly dude, he looks serious.
His eyes catch mine and he drops his sword, i quickly look away, embarrassed. "Excuse me?" The muffled sound of someone speaking interrupts my music. I take an earbud out and lazily look up, a tall, freckled ginger is looking down at me, he smiles and gestures at the empty spot beside me on the bench, "May i sit?"
I clench my fingers around the string of my ear bud and nod, he collapses beside me and pulls out a small book from his pocket. "I heard you got bit, may i ask, was it scary?" I drop the lone earbud onto my lap, "Pardon?" He flips through his book, and answers without looking up, "Klaus Byron, he bit you." My hand travels up to my neck, the man's soft eyes lift from his book to my neck, "May i look?"
I didn't know Klaus had bit me, should i be surprised? But why didn't they tell me?

I pull my hand away and my eyes search for Jace, he's across the lot, taking an aggressive swig of water, his cold eyes set on me. I gulp and look back to the kind man beside me, "Yes, of course." His hands slowly move up to it, he cups my neck, he examines it and frowns, "that doesn't look good.." I close my book and take my other earbud out, a little afraid "what do you mean?"
"Well it looks-" Suddenly Jace appears, hunched over the man, "James, Aldrich wants you." The man turns from me to Jace, then back to me, "Oh well, it was lovely meeting you Alice, and if i were you i'd get that bite checke-" Jace steps on James left foot, his lip twitching, "Go." he growls. James quickly stands up, shoving the tiny book back into his pocket, "Okay, okay i'm going!" his cheeks flustered. I watch Jace, watch James scurry away, he turns to me and folds his arms, "How are you feeling today."
     I shake my head and pop my earbuds back in, ignoring him. He frowns and kicks my leg softly, "Alice." I stand up, right up against his chest, he looks down at me. I turn around and grab my book, taking a deep breath i start to walk away.
    I hear him call out, but i keep walking.

Stepping back into the building, i bump into Evelyn, she looks afraid.
"Are you okay?" i ask, bringing my book at my
side. Her glossy brown eyes land on mine, "Alice, i need to talk to you...."
