A Love Like War

Chapter 2

VIC'S P.O.V.

It took me two weeks until I finally decided to go back to school.

I hadn't gone through any of the letters and text that people from all over sent me, saying sorry for my lost. It really wouldn't help it would just bring the memories back up and I didn't want that type of depression to consume me; the one where I would stay up at night and just think about how much I missed them. I had just come out of that hole.

Jaime and Tony were the only friends I had left after Mike and my girlfriends death.

I truly felt sorry for them out of the millions of horrible people that it could of been it had to be to great and amazing people.

I had walked to school since I refused to get in a car anymore.

The walk wasn't terribly long I needed to get back to school one way or another. All I could think about on the walk was how different life has been without them and how much different school was going to be now.

As I walk up the stairs to go to school it seemed too quiet for comfort. I didn't have the usual tug on me arm from my best friend, the best girl that was alive, the best lover. I didn't have my brother making weird sexual jokes that always made me laugh and wonder where he hears all of them.

Going through the door was even worst because of all the sympathetic looks people were giving me just made me sick.

"Hey, dude." A voice said behind me.

Looking I see Jaime and Tony. Thank god I wasn't in the mood to play in the game the bullies had planned for me.

"I know they're not who you want to think about right now man but we're really sorry." Tony said Jaime nodding with him.

"It's fine, it's ok stuff like this happens all the time. But it just happened to them instead." I said sorrowfully. They gave me a pained expression and I decided to change the subject. "So, umm, anything new going on in the devils world around here?" I asked. I was our joke to call school the devils world because that is basically what it is.

"Well, actually there are some new things." Jaime stated off.  "I'll skip the weird cheerleading and football player score BS because those change every three to four days as you know. But you know Oli?" I nodded everyone knew him he was the schools bully every school had them and Oli was ours. "Well he has a new friend now and the pretty boy thinks he's all that because he hangs out with the schools bully."

Well my luck is great isn't it not just one bully but two for the rest of the year.

"Amazing. So how many of my classes is he in?" I said.

They looked both me in a way testing whether or not I really wanted to know.

"Come on it can't be that bad what like two or three."

"Nope." Tony said. "All of them."

Okay so my luck is great isn't it.

We all said good-bye after that heading to my class room which I could care less about now since I had "pretty boy" in all of my classes .

I walked in and no one looked at me which was a good started I didn't want to be noticed right now. I didn't see anyone new the whole period. I guess he decided to skip. Honestly I would to if it hadn't been for the two weeks I missed I really needed to catch up before senior year finished.

The class was really slow and so was the next and when it was finally finished with no sign of this new kid.

Walking into the lunch room I didn't see Oli either which was strange he always tried to get the best of me right before lunch.

I sat to Tony as usual but thing felt the same but they also felt much more different without them here. I blocked out everything that was going on I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat and when it was time for us to part again we said good-bye and left to go tot our next classes I went to the bathroom though because facing the day seem so much harder than it needed to be.

Once I made sure all the stalls were clear and felt my throat clench ready to cry. I was thrown against the wall my eyes were met with the blue orbs from earlier.

"Don't tell anyone what I did for you or you're dead. Got it?" he said his voice was angelic but his demeanor told a different story. I nodded my head.

He let go of me his pale cold skin lightly touching my neck he looked at it in wonder and bent down and licked it. It felt strange it wasn't like how he had magically licked me before. Saving me. This time it had huger and it felt as if he could devour me.

Then he was gone the blue orbs leaving once again.
