Brokenhearted

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Caitlyn's POV

UGH. My throat is on fire. I'm longing for something badly but I just don't know what it is. I got up from the bed groggily and made my way towards the door, only to stumble over my own feet, being the klutz that I am.

"Holy shit" I cursed under my breath but it sounded more like a croaking sound. Oh yeah, my throat was really dry. I pound on my head furiously trying to get rid of the throbbing pain but it just got worse instead.

I reach for my favorite mug which had a picture of my family on it, when I was still a little kid playing dolls with my sister. I was pouring some water in it when the mug accidentally slipped from my grip and fell to the ground, making a loud shattering sound. I gawked at all the broken shards in horror, and I could feel tears forming at the back of my eyes.

This mug meant a lot to me. My mum gave it to me on the fateful day when she and my dad died in a horrific air crash on their way to Canada for a business trip, leaving my sister and I all alone in this world.

Since then, I was left to take care of all our needs and make sure my sister goes through proper education. I had no choice but to juggle with three part-time jobs and I even had to work in a night pub, not doing that kind of stuff of course, just as a bartender.

My sister, Ella, meant the most to me. She was my only kin left and I swore to protect her with all my life, but I didn't get to keep my promise...

*FLASHBACK*

"Sorry, the customer you are calling is currently unavailable. Pl-" And with that I slammed my phone on the table so hard that it wobbled slightly. "El where are you?" I stood up and ran my fingers through my hair, pacing up and down the hallway.

I tried calling Ella again and I was once again put through her voicemail. I waited for the 'beep' sound and said into the receiver "El if you receive this, please give me a call back. Please be home safely. I love you" I let out a huge sigh of worry after ending the call.

"I'm better, so much better now" I scrambled to my phone anxiously and my hands were gripping onto the phone so firmly like as though I was clinging on it for dear life. "Hello? Is this Miss Lovelace?" I could hear a voice on the receiving end, which I reckon was the policeman's.

"So well? Did you manage to find my sister?" I shot up from the couch immediately, praying for a positive response. "Yeah, we found her..." I could feel a huge grin form on my lips and my simple wish of happiness was all ruined by just one word "Dead".

I stopped dead in my tracks and froze for a moment. Did he just say my El is... Dead? "Hello? Miss? Are you there?" I could hear the policeman's frantic voice on the other end. I slumped my body onto the ground in a total state of shock, still trying to accept all that has happened.

I held my phone to my ear with trembling hands. "How did she die?" I asked the police. "Erm... About that... We found two punctured holes on her neck and as stupid as it sounds, this definitely couldn't be done by a human..." he slowly trailed off.

"Are you freaking kidding me? You're trying to tell me vampires exist? Well they don't!" I shrieked, still shocked by my sister's death. "We understand your pain, Miss. But-" "You understand my pain? Wow. That's just so amazing. You have no idea what I had gone through all these years!" I snapped.

"I promised to take care of my one and only sister but look at what happened! A vampire took her and killed her! I broke my promise! She was my only kin left, but she left me just like that. You know how I feel?" I said with no emotion, my voice barely above a whisper.

"So don't act like you know everything when you clearly have no idea of my how life is like!" I threw my phone onto the ground roughly and sobbed into my knees, my hands grasping around my legs tightly, subconsciously rocking myself back and forth.

"I'm so sorry, El"

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I didn't realize that I had been crying until I felt a cold hand cupping my jaw and wiping away my tears with his thumb. I looked up to see a pair of emerald green eyes looking deep into my soul. Nathan. "Go away" I hissed. "I don't wanna see you" I mumbled.

"Why?" Nathan said softly which made me look up at him. "Why are you shutting me out of your life?" His voice full of hurt. "I'm not" I retorted. "Yes, you are, Caitlyn. Stop denying it. Ever since you had been turned, you refuse to talk to me or even look at me. Why?" His lovely green eyes were now a darker shade with full of sadness in it, which made me want to cry whenever I looked at him.

"So much has happened and my sister was killed by a vampire, as crazy as it sounded to me, but now I guess that vampires are real" I shrugged. I finally looked up at Nathan who had a confused look on his face.

"You just don't get it do you? I don't want to live a life of killing people, Nathan. Not when my own sister was killed by a vampire. I don't want to be a bloosucking monster who feeds off innocent people. They too have loved ones I don't want breaking families apart just for my own selfish cravings" I explained.

"You think I have it easy huh? I didn't want to turn out like this either! I never wanted to be this cruel bloosucking monster either! I DIDN'T HAVE A F****** CHOICE CAITLYN! DON'T THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY PATHETIC FLEDGLING IN THE WORLD WHO IS WEAK AND HELPLESS! I ALSO HAVE FEELINGS TOO! HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF HOW I FELT? NO! YOU ONLY THINK OF YOURSELF! YOU WHORE I'M DONE WITH YOU!" Nathan screamed at my face.

And with that, he left the woods just like that. Leaving me dumbfounded at what he had just said. I let the tears that I had been holding for a long time stream down my face. I lost my parents at a very young age, I lost my sister, who was my only kin, and now, guess what?

I even lost my only hope left, Nathan. My life is seriously effed up, why do unlucky things have to keep happening to me?
