Violent Desires - Muke (Vampire AU)

3 - Mystery

I tapped Kris's Skype contact and listened to the annoying ringing sound of the Skype call.

Finally her face popped up on my phone screen.

"Hey Mikey."

"Hi."

"I miss you so much already." Kris fiddled with her sleeves.

I ran my hands through my hair, "I miss you too, Kris."

"Maybe we shouldn't talk about it..." She said, taking a deep breath, "I just don't want to get sad again."

I smiled weakly, "Yeah ok."

So we didn't talk about it. We talked and laughed about nothing with each other for about an hour before I heard a knock on my door.

"Be right back." I said, jumping up from my desk, where my phone was now propped up so I could talk to Kris.

I opened the door, and Anica was standing there.

"Dinner's ready, you can come downstairs whenever you want to, though." She said.

"Ok, thanks." I said.

Anica turned around to go back downstairs and I shut the door, bounding back over to the desk.

"I have to go Kris, but I can Skype you some other time!" I said smiling.

"Ok! See you later." She said waving.

"Bye." I said clicking the 'end call' button.

I made my way down the stairs, in a much better mood, and into the kitchen, where Janie was serving spaghetti and garlic bread on plates.

Dinner was quick, and as soon as it was done, I headed upstairs to my room.

I shut the door and quickly changed into some basketball shorts, leaving my shirt off. I flopped down on my bed and buried myself under the covers. I grabbed my phone and headphones out of my backpack and plugged the earbuds into my phone.

I put my earbuds in my ears and chose a random song on the music app. I closed my phone and soon heard the familiar intro of Always by Blink 182, and I closed my eyes, letting the music fill my head.

After about four songs, I drifted off to sleep.

I sat up quickly, blinking a few times as I looked around the room, trying to figure out where I was. Then my thoughts cleared and I remembered. I sighed and got out of bed, for some reason eager to go out.

I went to the bathroom, doing everything I needed to do, then went back to my room to grab some shower supplies to clean myself up.

I took a quick shower, letting the warm water sooth me.

When I was done, I shut off the water, and grabbed my towel which was on the bathroom counter. I wrapped it around my waist, opening the door and making my way to my room.

I pulled on underwear and unwrapped the towel from around my waist, using it to dry my hair, then shaking my hair afterwards, the damp galaxy colored strands hanging limply on my face.

I tugged on black skinny jeans and a plain white t-shirt, and pulled a red and black flannel over it, buttoning it up to cover the t-shirt underneath. I rolled the sleeves up halfway on my arms, because it would probably be warm. I sat down on my bed and laced up my slightly worn black combat boots.

I grabbed my phone and my wallet, shoving them into my pockets. I remembered that my hair probably looked terrible, so I brushed it quickly, and just put a plain black snapback on my head backwards.
