The Nerd that turned out to be Vampire-ish [Wattys2015]

CHAPTER 48: The masked man.

There are just people who won't run out of problems, and one of them is me. Fate won't give me a break, seriously, it keeps on giving me punches that it's almost impossible to recover from.

This personal journey of finding my mother, is also one way for me to find myself. Which I thought I've already figured out – well some parts of it. Like me being a half-blood, or so I thought. It's hard that I've already accepted some certain facts, and was probably attached to that side of the story, but then will be changed later on.

It's fucking annoying! To be honest.

I've been dying to do a table flip the moment I heard that news from Kayla. I wanted to cry, and shout, and bury my fist on the wall. Damn. This is all so hard to take in. It feels like the lid to my jar of problems won't even close anymore. The pile has continually been stocking itself to the brim.

I collapsed to the floor, knee first. It hurts, if you ask me. But the weight of all this is just over-bearing, like I was hammered by the head with an invisible force.

If I'm not a human, and also not a half-blood, then in what category do I fit?

Kayla too had kneeled in front of me. "Hey. I'm sorry that I told you this. Maybe it's too soon, but I don't like keeping things from you. Well, it's fun to watch you all so curious and stuff. But this is a big one, and it is something that you needed to know." She said and hugged me. "I'm sorry. We'll figure things out I promise."

I sighed and felt a tear escape from my eyes. With that I breathe heavily, hoping to release some of the stress. I hugged her tightly as well. "I'm glad you didn't say 'secret' like your usual habit." She laughed and released me from her hug.

"Don't shut us down okay? I swear with my life. I'll help you in any way I can." She paused and stood up, which I did as well. "I know this must have killed you inside out. And I quote, truth hurts."

I smiled a bitter one. "Well, I can't do anything anyway. I'm just mind-fucked at the moment." I run a hand through my hair and sat at the bed.

"Problems does fuck us real hard at times." Kayla said and took a seat at the stool.

"Harder than Jonas?" I asked with a sly smirk.

And as always, I'm trying to hide my real feelings with jokes. I kind of want to put this at the back of my head, for the mean time. Because I don't want to deal with any more problems. The answers will probably show itself along the way.

Kayla stood up and punched me on the arm. Then I laughed, even though it hurts. Seeing her blush, is like watching a literal blue moon.

"I'll take that as a yes." I said and run to the bathroom. Then I popped my head back out. "Jonas is obviously more skilled than any problems." I ended it with a wink, and Kayla simply flashed me a middle finger with a small smile on her face.

"I'm going out to see Don." She said and I nodded.

I closed the bathroom door, and almost instantly the heavy feeling is back. Like there's suddenly a thunder cloud sprouted above my head, pouring imaginary rain on me. And changing the whole atmosphere of the room, into a gloomy hell.

Well, this spot has turned out to be my personal sanctuary. A place where I can truly be myself, and take off the mask for a few seconds. I sighed heavily and washed my face. A sob is now threatening to escape, but I held it in.

Damn! What is with all this drama? This is so not me. Fate surely is testing my patience.

A flashback suddenly entered my line of thoughts. It was when Tristan and I first met in the school's shuttle. Things would've probably been different if I hadn't met that nerd, or if I didn't brought my tripod in the first place. I sighed heavily. But this is bound to happen, either way – I guess.
