The Only Hope For Me Is You (frerard/vampire)

Chapter 2: The Hypnotising Black Headed Boy

Sipping away to my coffee that's almost finished, my leg gently bounces up and down soothingly. I hear the door of the small coffee shop being pushed open, I curiously look over.

You see, I'm kind of like a cat in that sense. My curiosity always gets the better of me, you know what they say, curiosity killed the cat. It's a shame I'm already dead.

As I looked over I seen a small black hooded boy, he looks drenched so I'm guessing that it has been raining out. I keep my eyes fixated on the boy as he swiftly walks over to the till, I feel my leg has stopped bouncing when he reaches up and unhoods himself. Revealing a damp head of thick black hair.

I am completely frozen, my bones feel like they have been closed shut so tight that I can't move, my eyes being the only thing that moves slightly following the back of the hypnotising black headed boy. When the barista gives him his order I see it's to go, I sit still in my seat wishing that he could just stay a little longer so I can stare at his very alluring presence.

Before grabbing the coffee he pulls good over his head and heads straight out the door, my eyes feeling unsatisfied when the boy is gone. There's nothing that's so fascinating nearby that I could pleasantly stare at, I down my coffee in one gulp and slide out of the booth.

I leave the glorious smelling coffee shop and find that I have nothing to do, nowhere to go, nobody to be with, so I reluctantly walk myself home. But good news! It's still raining and I no hood! Great.

I think back to the boy that got me so wound up and nervous at just the look of the back of his head, I wish I had got to seen his face but I probably will never see him again. I wonder what's his name? I bet he has a pretty name. Oh! I wonder how old he is? Well I doubt he's going to be older than me, from a long shot.

My brain is busy with all the buzzing thoughts of the mysterious dream boy, until my thoughts are interrupted by a
blast of air running past my back. I quickly spin round and there was nothing there.

I slowly turn back round and continue my walk home hastily, I see a blur of colour run past me out of the corner of my eye, I once again feel the familiar breeze of cool air hit me.

I open my eyes hesitantly and start to walk at a brisk pace until I get to the bottom of my front lawn and sprint my way into the house, I fumble with my keys before locking the door and heaving out a deep breath that I was holding in.

My hand instantly falls onto my chest, hearing my heart beating rapid in my ears. I try and calm myself down by taking deep breaths, I feel exhausted with all the panicking and the small run. Wow, I should really work out more, like really. I'm so unfit.

I return to my bedroom feeling a little more safe in the confinements of my home and enter the bathroom, I turn on the shower and strip myself of my clothes. I carefully climb into the tub and under the streamy sprays of relaxing warm water.

I wrap my arms around my tummy tight, trying to suppress the sounds of my growling stomach. Yelling at me for something to eat. I open my eyes to see that I'm lying in bed, I remember coming out of the shower and going into bed and I must've dosed off.

I pull the covers from on top of me and climb out of bed stark naked, I must've not put any clothes on either. I find a pair of jeans lying on the floor and a black t-shirt, I sleepily put them on and make my way up the stairs.

It's total darkness, I look out the front window in the living and see the neighbourhood in black, the only lights available are the dark orange street lights hovering over the pavements.

I pick up my phone from the coffee table and it flashes up telling me it's 2:39am. I hear my belly grumble at me again, rushing me for some food.

I fill in my shoes with my feet and strap my black denim jacket to my back and head out the door, I lock the door behind me and decide to zoom all the way to the woods.
