When I heard him say that shivers went down my spine all I could think of was that summer in the Caribbean. That long scary summer, that was the year me and Jake fell apart.
I remember it so clearly, we where sat on a bench on the first day of our holiday, he'd invited me to the Caribbean with him but that day as we sat hand in hand, he told me what he was and how he became it. He told me “I love you with all my heart but we can never be together not once I tell you who I am, you will no longer love me ”, he choked the last part, lie it was killing him to say those words.
Don't you hate it when your right I know I do. So I suspected something was out of the ordinary when I first met him. He was too secretive, he new lots about me and I just ignored it. You see he said this to me “I know this sounds strange but im dangerous more dangerous than you could ever imagine, you think im normal but im not. I kill people and I was supposed to kill you ..but I love you.” I pulled away and looked into his eyes, searching for the joke. Why wasn't there one? than I realised he was serious and I ran, I ran quicker than I ever had in my entire life. I wanted to scream' stop him he's a killer' but instead I said “ill tell the world about you and what you are.”, I didn't get far and he caught me he was to quick.
I didn't get far until he caught me, he was too fast. He grabbed for my arm and abruptly stopped me I went jolting back into him and he caught me. “ let me explain what I am and how I got this way. I need to tell you a secret and its big” still holding me tightly he lead me back to the bench where he told me the other half of his story.
“ 10 years ago a man hired me as an assassin as he'd seen my earlier work in the business. I didn't know you than and I agreed he said he'd give me the recipe to immortality obviously I took it in open hands.” he paused to look at me and I just looked away. He sighed and resumed what he was saying.”anyway he hired me to kill you and your family he wouldn't tell me why but I didn't think anything of it. When you moved to Bedford so did I, when you grew up I watched when you turned ten I realised it was impossible to do it you would go and visit the church ruins every weekend. You where so young and I pittied you.. I know what your thinking but by the time I was hired they where gone” he said.
“i don't believe you, you killed them I know it.. what did you do with there bodies you, you killer”, my hands started to quiver and I felt tears falling from my face. I felt them fall from my red angry cheeks with the hand that Jake had I pulled it up to wipe my tear stained face. He loosened his gripe in pity.
“ Look im sorry but it wasn't me rose, rose .. look at me I didn't kill them and I didn't kill you I love you im till your old Jake but ive not change”i looked away as he stared at me and I ignored, he looked at me again but I still looked away, I focused on a tree and herd him sigh.He looked at me again but I still looked away focusing on something in the far distance, I felt his eyes on my kneck.
“You told me earlier you had a secret what is it... please tell me”i trembled, his arms tensed and I could feel he was scared to tell me. “you no when we first started going out... and you know you haven't grown at all this year well...”, I realised what he was saying and I took a sharp intake of breath. I remember now. He'd spiked my drink 6 weeks after we started doing out. He'd made me immortal .. that shake he'd made me at his house he'd spiked it. “i hate you, you selfish person why would you do this to me I hate you .” I managed to escape his gripe and I stormed off.he didnt follow this time, he just sat and looked into the distance with foggy eyes.
