illicit Relationship (Editing)

Ch 24: My Love

“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.”

"I feel so alive" Kim said staring around the school. 

"Damn, even school looks fun" 

I smiled. I remember when I was barely turned I thought the world seemed more beautiful. Now nature seems to be the only real beauty. 

"Let’s go." I said making her follow me. She was attracting attention. 

She followed silently. "We’re leaving tomorrow night. But this is our last day at school." I said telling her my plan. "Go home today and pack lightly, only something you can easily carry. And the necessities"  

She smiled. "Where are we going?" she asked. 

"I was thinking Hawaii." I said.  

I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii, and I thought it would be a good place to go after being changed. 

"I have somewhere I need to go after school, pack your things and go to my house no later than six" I said smiling. 

"Have a good day" I told her, walking away and going to Mr. Night’s class.

The bell had already rung and I was late so I felt like going to check up on him. 

I passed by and noticed a sub. I reached my hand in my pocket and ran out of school. When I was a couple blocks away I stopped and closed my eyes. Being soul mates has its benefits. I can tell where he is, whenever I try. 

I closed my eyes and listened out for his heartbeat. Once I heard it I started walking towards the noise.

I opened my eyes once it was loud enough, I was standing in front of a huge apartment building. I opened the door and stepped in. no one was in the lobby so I went into the elevator. I pressed every single floor, but there were only ten, and every time the door opened I listened for his heartbeat. 

Once I reached the fifth floor I heard his heart beating very loud, I got off the elevator and walked to a door. Room 106. 

I knocked on the door, a young woman opened the door. She was short and petite, with blue grey eyes and beautiful dark, brown hair.

"Hello" she said. I could see the curiosity in her eyes. 

"Hi, is joseph home?" I asked, knowing that he was. 

She smiled "and who are you?" she said eyeing me. 

I smiled, "I’m Emma"  

Her eyes widened. "Oh where are my manners, please come in." 

I smiled and walked in. 

"Let me ask him if he will see you." she said walking into a mini hall way. 

I looked around his apartment. Everything was simple, not like a woman’s home. Everything was black, white, or grey. Color coordination. He had a giant flat screen TV on the wall. And a small glass table in the middle of the living room. I was sitting on a black couch, pleather. And there was a smaller, identical couch against the wall, vertical from the one I was sitting on.

I started to hear footsteps so I stayed still in my seat.

She had a sad expression. "He said he doesn’t want to see you." she said sadly. 

I nodded silently, I expected this. 

"Do you know what happened to him?" I asked with high hopes. 

She nodded and silently began speaking.  

"About a week ago he went out. To meet you." she said sitting down on the couch. "When he came back he was mugged. Someone beat him up, right outside this apartment building. He was in critical condition for a couple days, he was released from the hospital yesterday."
