The Way It Should Be

Chapter Twelve

It is now a a veey rainy Sunday afternoon, and for some reason Darren has been really weird, like super. He has been hanging out with us a lot more than usual, he has also been saying stuff like "I love you guys" and "You guys are the best" which never happens.

He is just a weird person that does weird things. But, this is just bizarre, I mean the sucking of Alan's blood was weird, but praising us is just crazy, way too bizarre. Something's up. I'm gonna try to find out what it is, I hope he isn't going to go do anything bad, or troublesome.

I am currently eating pizza at a pizza place with Darren, Alan, and Tommy.

"You guys are great!" Darren says.

I want to ask what's wrong, but I can't, not in front of Alan and Tommy, they don't seem to notice anything is wrong, I'm surprised Alan is still talking to Darren after he sucked his blood and all.

"I don't know what we did to make you say that, but thanks." Alan says.

"Oh well, he's just stating a fact." I say.

"I know I'm great but you don't need to tell me every second of the day." Tommy says.

"Doesn't matter, not like it's that bothersome." I say, though it was very bothersome not knowing why he is giving us compliments like this.

I was getting ready to ask when I got a call. I looked at my phone and see it was from Steve. "One second guys." I get out of my seat and walk away a bit and answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Where are you?"

Oh right, after he has woken up he hasn't said a word to Darren, at least not in front of me. He also become over protective of me and doesn't like it when I hang out with the others without him, especially Darren.

"Having pizza with the others, why?"

"Well come over to my house."

"Why?"

"My mom isn't home."

"Dude we're twelve years old."

"I meant we could watch a movie or something, Tux is so dirty minded~ unless you want to do that~"

Rolling my eyes I sigh, "I'll be right over. Don't get any weird ideas now."

"Alright, Sweetie." He hangs up and I head back over to the table.
"I'm gonna go hang out with Steve now." I wave, but someone grabs my wrist, I turn and see it is Darren.

"Please don't."

"Why...?"

"I want to hang out with you now."

"Well... I already told Steve I'd go hang out with him. So may-"

"But I asked first." He hissed.

Alan and Tommy smirk and just slowly and quietly tip-toe away.

"What do you mean?"

"I asked to hang out with you first." He repeats, "We are hanging out now, and just because your boyfriend called you're leaving?!"

"He isn't my boyfriend."

"Then why you spending so much time with him?"

"Because... I'm his best friend and I'm worried for his health... We can just hang out tomorrow, just the two of us."

He let's go of my hand, "If you go... I don't think we can be friends anymore."

"Why's that?"

"You're hanging out with him too much. You don't only have him in your life."
