(Taylor's P.O.V.)
I watch as Ella walks out the front door sticking her tongue out at me. I go to grab her arm to tell her that that's disrespectful, but can't because she's already gone.
"Did you see that?" I say to Nolan pointing at the door.
"No. Is everything okay?" He says turning to face me.
"Um... No actually. I don't think me and Ella are going to get along very well at all."
"What why?" He asks walking over to me.
"Well... For starters she just stick her tongue out at me."
"I heard you tell her she isn't allowed to leave."
"Well yeah you said that we should spend some quality time together, and she insisted on coming home because she was tired. Also I don't like it how she's been hanging out with that boy. It's almost unnatural."
"Who Andrew? They're best friends. They hangout with each other all the time. It's like they're glued to each other. They just have a strong bond that's all. I promise you that everything will be fine." He grabs me by the waist, and I move closer to him.
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"Okay... Hey um... I have a question."
"Ask away."
"Okay. Just answer with the truth, okay?"
"I would never lie to you."
"Okay. Um what if I told you that I was cursed?"
"What? Cursed? That's absurd. You're not cursed."
"We um... You see that's where you're wrong. I am cursed."
"How?"
"Um... Can we sit down?"
"Yeah. Come on." We walk over to the couch, and sit down. I look at him with a smile.
"Okay um... So my mother was a witch. In a sense. So she wanted me to also be one aswell. When I refused her offers she would get very angry, and so the last time I had refused her offer she said that she would curse me with a curse I couldn't get rid of. So I gave in and learned about things that witches do. She thought me about a lot of things. She told me that I will never date while learning this because love is distracting. When I went against her word, and dated the boy I thought I loved she cursed me. She killed the boy, and brought his soul back. She cursed me with having him follow me. He wasn't good though. He was bad. She made him a ghoul or demon or something. She told me that he will ruin your relationship with anyone you ever love. She knew that I loved her, but faced the consequences. She killed herself. She told me before she died that this curse will never die. That it will stay with me forever. So she died and I am stuck with this curse."
"What? Taylor how come you never told me?"
"Because I was scared you'd push me away. Like every other man in my life."
"Taylor you could've told me. I wouldn't push you away."
"I know. It's just kinda hard to admit that you're cursed. You know?"
"I don't, but I can assume that it's very hard."
"It is. Another thing about it is that I don't know what my actions toward anyone will be."
"I'm sure you'll be fine. Okay?"
"Alright." I look at the ground then back at Nolan with a weird look on my face. "Are you sure she's okay hanging out with that boy?" Nolan looks at me with a smile before speaking.
"Yes. I'm sure they are fine. They've been fine before. They always hang out with each other. Ever since they were kids."
"Well that's nice they have a strong bond with each other it's just... I don't know it just doesn't feel normal to me."
"They're fine. I promise."
"Okay. I need to go to the bathroom. I'll be back, okay?" I say getting up.
"Yeah. I'll be right here. Or in the kitchen. I don't know."
"Okay." I walk to the bathroom quickly and walk in. I close the door behind and turn the light on. I look in the mirror to see the veins in my eyes turning black. I look down at my wrists to see those veins turning black too. "It's getting worse." I whisper to myself. I look back up at the mirror to see my eyes now black, and the veins in my neck starting to turn black.
"Taylor are you okay?" I hear Nolan say from the other side of the door. I blink and start to breath heavy. I look back up at the mirror to see that everything was back to normal.
"Yeah I'm okay." I say with a smile opening the door. I turn the light off then close the door behind me as I left the bathroom.
"You were in there for a while."
"Oh. Was I? Sorry about that. So um... Are you bored because I'm kinda bored. We should do something."
"I am bored. What idea do you have that is fun?"
"Oh I have a pretty fun idea." I say moving closer to him laughing.
"I understand." He said with a smile quickly pulling me towards him starting to kiss me. (I'd tell you everything but... No. I'm not doing that.)
