Fear

Ch. 6

I was running fast, my feet pounding against the cold hard cement of the dark sidewalk. I was becoming out of breath but I had to keep going. I turned around but soon regretted it as I saw Alex running after me, constantly yelling my name. Soon, I had ran into a forest. No sign of Alex, no noise, just my heavy breathing. I looked around trying to find a way out but the streets were no longer in view. I leaned on a near big dark brown tree, trying to catch my breath. Why wasn't that mysterious boy here? Why wasn't he helping me? As if answering my question, I heard a loud scream coming from behind a few trees and bushes. Instead of running away, I slowly started walking towards the noise to see who it was. I gazed around looking for someone, but my heart stopped as I sighted Alex lying on the dark green grass, with a man digging his head in the crook of his neck. A sharp gasp escaped my lips which caused the man to snap his head in my direction. He was tall, had a mop of curls placed on his head, red peircing eyes staring into my soul, blood dripping down his chin. My body started shaking as he came under the moonlight. He was.......Harry?

"NO!" I sat up on my bed, my body sweating and shaking uncontrollably. My chest rose up and down at a non-normal speed. I leaned over the edge of my bed and turned on my small purple lamp. I pulled my knees up to my chest and grabbed my head in my hands. Why the hell was Harry in my dream? But most of all, why was he a vampire? Vampires are myths. Right? Besides Harry is a famous singer and I haven't even met him. I snatched my phone in my sweaty hands and turned on the screen. It was already 8:30 p.m. Did I really sleep that long? I heard glass breaking downstairs and I quickly got out of bed, afraid my parents were fighting again. I tied my hear in a pony tail as I ran downstairs. I sigh of relief left my mouth as I only saw my dad standing in the kitchen. He had his hands on his hips, staring down at a pile of noodles on the floor mixed with broken glass.

"Dad?"

"Oh..Hi sweety. Are you ok? I heard you scream upstairs"

"Oh uhm..yeah just a nightmare. Uh why is there noodles on the floor?"

"Oh. Well I put some noodles in the microwave to eat dinner, but I dropped the bowl because it was really hot" I let out a small giggle and picked up a few pieces of glass.

"Well how does pizza sound?"

"Delicious" We laughed and my dad went to order the pizza while I cleaned up the mess. Once my dad ordered and I finished cleaning up, I got some plates and cups while dad got out a half empty bottle of Sprite. We sat down at the dinner table and stayed quiet for a while.

"Is mom still at work?"

"Yes" Another moment of silence fell upon us.

"When will she change?"

"I don't know honey. But remember, no matter what, she is your mother"

"I know dad, you have told me that many times but I just hate the way she is with you"

"Don't worry sweety. Hopefully one day she'll change and we'll become a happy family" We both knew that wasn't going to happen. Or not atleast anytime soon. Soon, the doorbell ran signaling our pizza arrived. I walked over to the door, and happily opened to find a cut guy with blonde hair. I immediately thought of Niall.

"Here's your pizza beautiful" As much as I would've blushed and got happy at other times, I felt uncomftorable remebering what happened with Alex. Or what almost happened.

"Thank you. Keep the change" Before he could reply I took the box of pizza and closed the door. I placed the box on the table and opened the top, the smell of cheese and pepperoni filling my nose.

"Well that boy seemed nice"

"Eh he was alright" I poured some soda on my cup and grabbed a slice of pizza, then sat on the chair across my dad. We ate in silence, not letting anything disturb our meal. The thought of Harry being a vampire ran through my head, making me question a lot of things. After I finished my slice of pizza I got up and walked over to the trash.

"You're only eating one slice?"

"Uhm, yeah"

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Not that much" he gave me a questioning look before reaching for his third slice. I really wanted another slice but I couldn't. I would start gaining weight and I'd be a total mess. I gave my dad a goodnight hug and ran upstairs into my room. A shiver ran up my spine as I saw my window slightly opened. I probably just left it open before I went to sleep. I closed it completely, locking it and closing my curtains. I walked into my bathroom and stripped down while the water got heated. I hopped in the shower and let the warm water massage my back as I rubbed my vanilla scented shampoo on my long brown hair.

I pulled my purple tank top over my head and pulled my fuzzy white plaid pajama pants up my long legs. I let my hair down to dry overnight then plugged in my phone to the charger and hopped in my big cozy pink covers.

I couldn't sleep all night. The image of Harry drinking Alex's blood haunted me all night. I don't think I'm going to school tomorrow, I don't want to be near Alex. After what he did, I don't think I could look at boys the same way ever again. I didn't want to trust a guy anymore, afraid they would try the same thing as Alex, and maybe even accomplish it. My life wasn't the same anymore. It was getting worst. Many things have been happening and I don't know whether I should be worried or not. All I knew is that something was going to change. Or maybe someone was going to change it....
