Endless Lines

Change In Dynamic

Chapter 11

I never realized how loud the world truly was until now, although we lived seemingly far from population I could still hear cars honk in the distance. Or students chattering, I could hear exactly what they were saying. I could feel the creaking of the floor boards when someone entered the room. The creak in the door hinges were louder than before, I just resulted to leaving the door open because somebody would always come in and check on me, it was an hourly thing.

I blinked furiously, my head was pounding from all the many sounds that were swarming. "You okay?" The voice of the brunette managed to clear everything else. I looked to her, my heart was beating at a slower pace and she just seemed as if she was glowing. "You're gorgeous" I motioned, staring at her in awe.

She blushed, her heart had even skipped a beat. "T—thanks"

I gave her a small smile, when I said everything was different now I meant everything. Jo didn't feel like a bestfriend to me, she felt like more. She made me feel like more when she was around. I even got this tingly feeling, something I experienced around Landon a few times.

The feeling she gave me was how I knew I liked Josette Saltzman, emotions when you're a Vampire are stronger than when you're a human. It was as if I craved the girl all the time and when she was in my vicinity I just wanted to pound her into oblivion and tell the brunette how much I loved her. It would be so simple if she was mine, life would be so simple.

"How are you feeling?" The brunette asked, taking a soft seat on the edge of the smaller girls bed. "Im feeling good, now that you're here."

It was weird how I could smell the blood in her veins pump, how I could hear them travel. It was weird how I wanted to drink her blood. My first time tasting the blood bag that Dr Saltzman gave me wasnt all that great, blood is actually terribly disgusting.

"I'm sorry about everything that's happened"

I stared at her beauty, only slightly hearing the words that left her mouth. "You're staring" She snapped her fingers infront of my face.

"I know, I know..Its just you smell different" I internally facepalmed at that comment, you smell different? Really Hope?

"Oh?"

"No, I mean—ugh, nevermind. Did you need something?" I stammered like a complete idiot.

"Just came to check in on you, I havent seen you for a few days" She shrugged "We missed you in class"

I nodded slightly "I know, sorry about that. Your dad told me I need to adjust before being around so many people. He doesnt trust me not to rip off anybodies head" I whispered the last part to her.

"You're doing okay around me"

"Its you, Jo...I'd never in a million years want to hurt you"

She tilted her head at me. "Want me to bring you back anything? Some blood maybe?"

"No, the blood bags here are like hospital food"

"They dont taste so great, do they?"

"Not at all" I fake gaged at the thought of them. "Then what have you been drinking?"

I hummed "I came up with a spell, home made blood"

"Oh...okay, well I should get going. I'm going to be late for class"

"I love you" I blurted. She looked back, a small smile rose on her lips. "I love you too"

"Im in love with you" I mumbled, just below her ear range.

I sighed, plopping back on to my bed. The brunette wouldn't leave my mind anymore, she was there when I slept, when I woke, when I ate...She was just always lingering. It was never like this before, sure I had a few dreams of her but the feeling I get when I'm around her now was nothing like it was then. And maybe I'm a little scared of it.
