Love is jealousy

Chapter 8

Crystal's P.O.V

I made my way to the back of the bus holding on to the seats as I make my way to the bathroom to get towels and a first aid kit. I lose my balance a couple times but tighten my grip on the seats. In the bathroom I clean my injuries and its a bit better but it still hurts like hell. I take a bottle of windex and a towel and go clean the seat without meeting the heated stares of the suitors. I push past Xavier and head back to the bathroom. I go back to my seat and sit on it. Then I fall asleep, relieving myself from all the pain that the bastard Xavier gave me.

I wake up to the pain of a bump that the bus did. I hiss and gingerly touch my head. 

"Your scalp is bruised, and its a flesh wound, the bleeding has almost stopped, but it could hurt for the next couple days." James says after a minute.

I turn to at him questionably with my eyebrows raised.

"My parents are doctors" He says with a small laugh that warms my heart.

"Would you like me to compel the pain away?" James asks quietly, hesitance evident in his voice. He laughs nervously at the stricken look on my face, but I immediately re-arrange it and cautiously agree.

I don't regret my decision, he immediately brightens up, seemingly happy at the thought of helping me. I relax focusing on his voice, which is smooth and silky like melted chocolate. James tells me that I can't feel my pain anymore as his pupils dilate, and I notice that he's right. I don't feel a thing. He stops speaking and almost immediately I am out of my trance state. I thank him, sincerity clear in my voice. He smiles and nods, his cheeks turning red, James turns to leave.

My hands shoots up grabbing his arm preventing him from leaving, James seems surprised at this and turns. I blush and let go.

"Do you want to stay?" I say nervously and uncomfortable.

"I'd love to" He says quietly but clearly.

I pull out my iPod and hand an earplug. Then I put on my favourite song, "Don't dream it's over" by Crowed house. I look at him only to see him swaying his head to the music. I smile to myself, my heart beating very fast. I love this feeling.

I don't know why I loved this feeling so much... maybe it was because it seemed so natural, and real.

Maybe it was because in a world where everything involved vampires and power, this feeling of wanting to know where all of this could lead, it is different from the feelings I get from Xavier or other vampires, it wasn't lust but something else. I still didn't know what this is, but all that I know is that..

It feels so right... so... human.

A/N:

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. We have two love interests. Team Xastal or Team Crymes? I personally ship Xastal. To make the cliché love story? What do you guys think? Tell me what I should right about in the comment section (of course I have plans for them but I'll change them for you), and don't forget to vote, comment and follow.
