Tangled Hearts.

~Chapter 18~

~Raelyn~

~Friday, February 7th, 2022~

I skipped Friday because I had fed the night before. I had gone without feeding for over a month. I'm supposed to do more regularly about every 4 weeks, but I had gotten sidetrack from school and stress.

After vampires feed, they take a full day to recharge. By that, I mean, they sleep all day and sometimes all night. I had Blake spend the night at Riley's moms house so he could go to school and not have to worry about me. I didn't tell anyone about this because this was my biggest secret ever.

I was hoping Colby wouldn't worry about me. I still hadn't explained to him about "my time of the month." That would be a story for another day. Him and I had become very close friends after the last 6 months. After that "date" we shared we became even closer.

We were often very flirty with each other and would make out occasionally, but we weren't "together" by any means. We also hadn't "done the deed" yet either. I could feel the sexual tension building with each make out session, it was only a matter of time before we lost it and let it happen...

~Colby~

On Friday, Raelyn didn't show up to class. Which was odd for her.

She said she would be here when we last spoke.

She was usually very punctual and didn't miss class very much or at all really. I decided to stop by her place after class to check on her.

I pulled up at her house as I eyed her black Audi that was parked in her driveway, I shrugged and walked to the second floor. I knocked on her door. No answer.

"Raelyn"? She didn't answer again.

I twisted her doorknob. Her door was unlocked. I walked in to see that neither her nor Blake was home from a glance. She wasn't on her couch.

Maybe she's in the bedroom?

I opened her bedroom door to see her lying in bed. She was curled up in a fetal position and she snuggled a pillow. Her eyes were sealed shut. My eyes bugged out of my face. I panicked.

"Raelyn"!? I ran over to her and saw that she was breathing. She was in a comatose state. She wouldn't budge but at least she was breathing. I sighed in relief. "Rae"? I nudged her harshly.

Is she just sleeping?

"Raelyn?!" I called Devyn. I didn't know who else to call.

"Hey Colby? What's up"? She asked confused.

"Hey, I'm at Raelyn's house and she's laying in her bed in a comatose state." I said as I sighed nervously.

"Why the hell are you at her house"? she asked me with attitude.

"Because she wasn't at class today, I wanted to be a good friend and check on her, you wouldn't know that because you're at work." I said with concern.

She sighed. "I'll be there in ten minutes, I just got on break." She said in a rushed and concerned voice.

I quickly hung up and knelt to Raelyn. I brushed a few hairs from her face as I kissed her head.

About 5 minutes later Devyn arrived and ran into the room. She rushed over and shoved me out of the way.

I landed hard on my ass next to her bed. I quickly got back up. "Jesus Christ dude! What was that for"?!

She rolled her eyes then looked at Rae as she put her hand on Raelyn's chest. She sighed in relief as he closed her eyes.
