Between Life & Death

12

-In Class-

-Y/n Pov-

The room is dark and in the back of the class with Jacob

Our teacher had put on Romeo and Juliet for the class, some students
entertained, some moved, Liam... trying not to fall asleep.

The teacher, MR. Stokes, mouths every word

Me and Jacob had our desks pushed together, whisper-talking.

Y-I hate being... celebrated.

J-Come on, the last real birthday any of us had was Ezra. You'll be helping us feel normal for a night.

I sit back, knowing i'm trapped. But he kissed my hand and I couldn't help but feel butterflies.

J-There are worse tragedies than a birthday. Look at Romeo. He's responsible for his wife's death. Who could live with that?

He said focused on the screen and i was looking but mainly talking and focusing on him

J-Though I do envy him, one thing.

His comment threw me off and I didn't know how to feel

Y-Juliet's alright... if you like that obviously beautiful sort of thing.

He chuckled softly shaking his head

J-Not the girl- the su¡c¡de.
Nearly impossible for...my kind.

He hesitated

J-But humans, a little poison,...dagger to the heart...There are so many options.

I was appalled. Why would he even think that?

Y-what the hell is wrong with u?..Why would you even think about that?

He places his hand on my thigh and open my legs a bit , running his fingers over the bite mark in my inner thigh.

It felt so intense i gripped his wrist on instinct

It kinda turned me on but its not the time.

J-...I considered it. Once. When Vinnie had you trapped. I didn't know if I'd find you in time.
If I'd gotten you killed-

Y-It wouldn't have been your fault-

J-Either way, I had a plan.

Y-What plan?

J-There are... ways for us. At least one way. I would have gone to Italy, provoked the Volturi...

Y-The who?-

Mr.Stoke- Is there something you'd like to share with the class, Jacob?

The teacher put him on the spot and he held my hand clearing his throat

J-Certainly not. But I apologize for being a distraction. Perhaps you
should rewind to act five, scene one, line twenty-eight eighty-nine

He said politely and still recited some of the movie from there then eventually ending it

J-"If you had the strength of twenty men it would dispatch you straight."

Mr. stokes just looks at him, then moves off, intimidated

Mr.Stoke-...Eyes on the screen, people.

I bet that set the teach straight but still. Even tho i was in awe and amused...I is too concerned to show it.
