Braeydon's Story

Andy

Brae's POV

All I could think about was Andy as I drifted off to sleep. I mean his hair, it falls perfectly without him even trying. His jawline could give you a paper cut. His piercing blue eyes frightened many people but somehow calmed me. I was drawn to him. I don't know what it is about him but somehow he makes me feel safe and protected. The way he stood up for me in the woods swept me off my feet. I loved how he walked me home to make sure I got there safely. I'm glad I got his number. Hopefully I can see him again sometime. I pictured what he looked like with his shirt off as I finally drifted off with him on my mind.

~next morning~

When I woke up I smelt breakfast so I went downstairs to eat and tell Maria that I didn't want to be homeschooled but that I wanted to go to a real highschool. She said okay and asked why the sudden change of heart. I told her that I think it would be best to surrounded myself around people, not isolate myself. Plus it would be a great way to meet new people. Maria said it was a great idea and that I would start school next week. Since I had nothing to do I spent most of my time at the park where I hung out with Andy a lot. The more time I spent with Andy the more I liked him. My crush turned into something new but I couldn't tell if Andy liked me back. I was starting to get worried that I would fall for another person that would be just my friend and I would have to hide my feelings from him. That thought was quickly burned away when I thought of Jaexon. I thought of how I kept my feelings from her. I should have just grew enough balls to tell her that I loved her. I should have told her that I wasn't straight; in reality I was actually bisexual and in love with her. The more time I spent with Andy the less I thought of Jaexon. By the end of that week Andy was all I could think about.

~monday morning~

As I was getting ready for school I got a text from Andy asking me if I wanted to hang out with him at the park after he got out of school again. I smiled and texted him back "Sure". I had kept the fact that I was going to be in the same school as him. I ran down and quickly ate breakfast. Before Maria could even eat I told her that we needed to leave now so I could get my schedule. She asked why I was so eager. I told her about Andy and how we were going to go to school together. She said "Okay" then told me to start the car.

~skip car ride~

When I got to school I eagerly went to the front office and said my name is Braeydon Stone and I need my schedule. The lady said "Okay", I printed it let me have someone get it for you. She turned around and said Andy can you go get Braeydon Stone's school schedule? Andy said "Yeah" and grabbed it. When he handed me my schedule I felt sparks shoot down my spine. There was highlighter on all my classes and black sharpie on the back. It said I marked the classes we have together. I waited for Andy and we walked to first period. Half way to first period his hand brushed against mine and I didn't know what to do. Then he grabbed my hand and we walked the rest of the way to first period. I sat next to him and three girls looked at me with disgust in their eyes. I could tell they weren't going to like me because I was around Andy and he was clearly flirting with me. I just didn't know if it was to make them jealous or if it was because he truly liked me. The teacher had me stand up and introduce myself. She told me to tell the class about myself and Andy stared at me intensely which made me blush and stumble over my words. I sat back down and he said I had no idea you were adopted and an orphan. I said yeah, I don't really share that with many people. I noticed this guy kept staring at me. He had short black hair with piercing emerald green eyes. Then the bell rang and I got up to ask him why he kept staring at me and what his name was. Before I got the chance to ask him his name he was gone.

The few periods I had till lunch went by smoothly. Andy whispered into my ear during 2nd period that he had something to show me during lunch. The way he whispered in my ear kinda turned me on a little. Third and forth period went by quickly and it was finally lunch. Andy grabbed my hand like he did after every class period. He took me to the woods and I instantly panicked. It reminded me of what happed with Luke. Andy must have noticed because he said he would never do something like that unless I asked him to. I felt reassured so I asked him what he wanted to show me and he showed me that he was a vampire and said that he felt that spark too. He said he thought I was his mate. At first I thought it was nonsense but quickly realized that he was being serious. Then I showed him my vampire side, but then something else happened. My eyes are normally icey blue but they turned paper white. He backed up and said how is this possible under his breath. I asked "how is what possible?" He asked how it was possible that I was both a wolf and a vampire. I told him about the vampire thing with my first foster family. He said then you must have been born a wolf and not have known until the thing with Jaexon happened and the Luke thing on top of it. I ran back to school my eyes still glowing white. I had to get away from Andy. It was all too much to handle. He was part of the reason why my eyes had changed when I told him about the vampire thing. This happens often when I'm falling in love with a person. It happened with Jaexon all the time. I just told her they were contacts. I just thought back then that it was my vampire side and not the fact I'm a wolf too. I separated myself from Andy for the rest of the school day. At the end of the day Andy found me before I got in the car with Maria he asked if he could come over and I looked at Maria and gave her my famous puppy dog eyes. She said he could come over. As I turned around to get in the car he turned me around and whispered are you okay in my ear, I just shook my head and got in the car. Maria asked what that was about and I said it was nothing. I turned up the music. As we drove home I saw that Andy was following behind us. I looked at him in the mirror and as I looked at him closer I saw the look of concern and worry. When we arrived at home I walked straight up to my room with my thoughts racing about everything. I didn't even wait for Andy. When he got up there he demanded I tell him what was going on with me and why I ignored him all day after lunch. My eyes changed color but this time they were blood red. When a wolf's eyes turn blood red it sympolizes anger, I did my research. Andy backed up a little as I angerly blew up on him. I screamed at him "everything that I have going on right is just to much. Everything with Jaexon, you, school, and getting adopted. I know why Jaexon killed herself. Its because of me. If I never would have got adopted she never would of killed herself. She never would have felt like this if I had just told her my feelings, but no I was too much of a chicken shit to take the leap of faith. I was too afraid to loose my best friend then to tell her how I really felt." By the end of my rant to Andy, I was slumped on the floor with tears rolling down my face slowly. He sat next to me and held me as I sat there crying. That's when Maria walked in and she saw my eyes turned into a violet color with tints of sky blue. Maria let out a gasp as she saw how my eyes went from icey blue to a violet color with a sky blue in it. She backed up and asked why my eyes were violet, I quickly changed them back. I compelled her to think that she saw they were just colored contacts. I didn't know what to do next. I got up out of the room 5 minutes later and put on shoes, told Maria I was going to the park with Andy close behind me. When I reached the park my mind was filled with thoughts of Andy and thoughts of Jaexon. The thought of Andy overpowered the thought of Jaexon. I thought about what a life with Andy would be like. I thought about kissing him. My thoughts were interrupted by someone's sweet, soft, plump lips pressing onto mine. We kissed for what felt like forever. The kiss felt perfect, it felt magical. Our lips fit perfectly together. When we separated and I looked around there was no one there. Andy was across the field getting a drink of water. I imagined it . . . there's no way that was my imagination, I looked to the right of me and saw Jaexon. I dismissed the imagined kiss and went back to thinking. I was again interrupted by a set of lips softly pressing against mine. This felt perfect. Was I imagining Jaexon or Andy? I don't know anymore. My vision started to blur. Soon as I went to stand up to tell Andy I collapsed, as I fell to the ground the blade fell out of my hand and landed beside me
