Live.

I have been terrified of living due to the wait time of my life being taken away from me. The flyers, promotions, invitations of so many events i declined due to feeling ashamed of myself, how I wish I could just live in those moments with my peers. Wishing I could meet some girl and possibly hook up with her. Just doing stupid shit that young motherfuckers do and I can't do anything to get that time back. I'm hoping tonight turns out better than I'm expecting. I could use a night of excitement. I sat in my parked car as I watched people walk inside the club. Fiddling my ticket in my fingers, I fought myself in my head debating on if I should get out and cross the street on into the club. I sighed and through my head in the back hitting the head rest and decided fuck it. I opened my door quickly and hopped out before I changed my mind. Closing my door and locking it by point my keeps over my shoulder, I looked left and right and cross the street slowly. Mostly everyone had entered in the club by now and the inside was alive. Lights were flickering and walls were vibrating and people were shuffling around. I walked around just to get a good look around the club due to the fact that I've never been in here for and decided to go to the bar. Even though I'm not suppose to drink, one shot wouldn't hurt. I could use it. Easing my way to the front of the bar, I nod my head at the male bartender. He was a little on the husky side, bald and had hoops in his ear. " What can I get for you? " , his voice was so much lighter than I expected. " Just give me a shot of vodka and a bottler of water. That's all " , I say tossing a $20 bill on the counter. He picks the $20 up and turns to get my stuff so I turn at looking at the crowd while I wait. Eyeing everyone around me, I nod my head to the music keeping a good look on my surroundings. My eyes halted when they met another pair. When I was greeted by this opposite pair, I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand. Surrounds the eyes was a tall, built and steady man. He had long blonde hair and milky skin. He wore all black with a trench coat trailing down his legs. If I'm not mistaken, I believe his eyes glowed but I thought maybe it was because the lights from the club. Starring at him and something possessing me not to look away, I couldn't hear the bartender calling me to get my change and drinks. Turning around quickly after feeling a tap on my shoulder to see the bartender holding his hand out with my change. " I-I'm sorry about that " , I said quickly taking the money out his hand. I slides my shot and bottle of water towards me and moves on to the next person. I look back over my shoulder to see the mystery man no longer standing in his previous position. I glance around to see if I could find him but he was nowhere. I decide to leave it alone turning back around and picking up my shot glass. I quickly take it down grimacing at how strong it was. It's been so long since I had alcohol so I knew just by that one shot, I'm not drinking shit else. I opened my bottle of water and drunk some to get that rancid taste of my mouth.

" Alright you guys, The Showmakers will be taking the stage in 5 minutes " , the DJ exclaims. I close the cap on my water and head to the front of the stage. Having some girls eyeing me like prey made me roll my eyes and ready to go home already and I haven't even been here for an hour. I found a decent spot to get a good look at the crowd and waited impatiently. As time passed I decided to just scroll on my phone to get rid of time. As I scanned through my social media, I couldn't help but feel as I was being watched. I locked my phone and begin to look around me. Continuing my search around the club, looking at individuals from the floor, the stairs, the balcony- there. Those eyes. I saw those eyes once again and this time I was pulled into them. I dropped my arms to my side and I could now see that the eyes were indeed glowing at me. " WELCOME TO THE STAGE EVERYONE! THE SHOWMAKERS!!!! " , yells the DJ. The crowd screaming around me and the announcement of my favorite band taking the stage could not peer me from him. " What's up you guys, we are The Showmak- " , the noise begin to fade when he walked away from where he was standing. I felt my feet moving following him to quickly pushing through the crowd and making my way up to the balcony. I ignored all the harsh comments from everyone upset about how I was making my way to where he was trailing to. At this point, I had no control of my movements, my emotions, something was controlling me fully. I couldn't get a hold on it.

Finally making it up to the balcony, I seen him disappear behind a curtain looking behind his shoulder. I picked up my pace trying my best to catch up to him but he was moving faster the closer I got to him. Pushing past the black curtain, I see a door close and immediately run to it opening it. I'm met by a dark room with one small light coming from the ceiling. The door closed behind me making me jump then I scanned through room trying to see if I can spot anything but I was alone. The only thing in here was chairs, tables and benches, nobody was in here. I was alone. Sighing, I turned around and prepared to leave but then, I heard shuffling. Turning around, I didn't see anything and it grew quiet again. Sitting there for a second and not hearing anything, I turned to leave again but a voice put my movement to a halt. " Sooo love me and I'll give you myyyy..... " , I turn around slowly to see a figure coming from the darkness. " Everythiiiing " , the unknown man says. He looks at me with a smirk on his face and a bite of his lip. Silence grew on us as I was wondering what the fuck was going on. " Who are yo- do I-I know you? " , I questioned. I watched him dampen his lips with his tongue before taken a small step closer towards me making me back away but the door was keeping me from moving. " No, I don't believe you know me actually " , he says. His voice was smooth. Smooth like he could get anything he wanted if he commanded it. " But my name is Adonis " , he finishes. Adonis. His name actually fit him perfectly. His features, his tones, the way he dressed, I don't think any other name would fit him. " And your name? " , he says taking another step closer. I shuddered pushing my body against the door even more. " Um, E-Ezekiel is uh my name. Ezekiel Bennett " , I croaked out. " Ezekiel..... " , he paused as if he was processing my name. " Your name defines.... that you are strong " , he points out. " Um, yeah I guess you could say that " , I say unsurely. He steps closer to me but I shuffle to my right to avoid him getting any closer but he turned his body and follows me. " Look man I don't know what you want " , I said still keeping my distance from him. " What I want? " , he chuckled. " You followed me up here... Ezekiel " , he sinfully said. " I followed you to see exactly what the fuck was your problem. I caught you staring me like I'm prey or some shit " , I explained. " Prey? Yet you're the own chasing me Ezekiel ... " , he continues also still taking steps my way. " Dude, stop fucking gaslighting me. I'm not an idiot, you wanted me to follow you up here! What the fuck do you want? " , I exclaimed. " You are a lot more tense than I was expecting " , he ignored my question. I squint my eyes and him and shook my head. " Im getting the fuck out of here " , I began to walk back to door the leave but suddenly he flashed in front of me, scaring the fuck out me causing me to fall straight on my fucking back. I groaned loudly from the impact and knew for sure, my back was fucked. I decided to just lay there and let my pain subside and that's when I looked up and saw him pulling his pants up to squat down next to me. I perched up on my elbows wincing and scooted back a bit. He just smiled at me and watched closely.

" I can smell your disease miles from here " , he whispered. My eyes widened by his remark wondering how the hell he could he know I was sick. " Wh-H- " , I struggled to finish my questions. " Use your words, Ezekiel " , Adonis said sternly. " How did you- " , I try to get out. " You want to know how I knew of your leukemia " , he interrupts. " Y-yes. How? " , I finally get out. " Are you positive you want to know the answer to that? " , he asks. I stare at him knowing that nothing could break me from his. " Your words, Ezekiel " , he says once more. I couldn't help but to obey him. " Yes, I-I want to know. P-please tell me " , I say in a whisper. " I don't think telling you would suffice for me. I'd rather show you " , he says to me. He brings his hand to my face and rubs his fingers gently down my cheek. " Can I show you, Ezekiel? " .....
