First Drop

Chapter 7: Sarah

My life had just been turned upside down! How is it that I'm in the middle of the public eye for being a murderer and I'm friends with a vampire! Dose anything make sense anymore? I dout. I left the docks and took the bus home. When I arrived a crowd of angry reporters came rushing towards me getting off the bus I ran straight through the crowd with all my effort and finally made it to my back door where I open and fell through. I slammed the door and lay on the floor breathing heavily. My mom came rushing to me.

"Where have you been!?" she yelled while helping me of the kitchen floor

"I went out, okay!" I yelled back

I walked into the living room where I found two police officers, my dad and my grandmother. 

"What's going on?" I asked 

"What's going on?" my mom repeated

"You've been gone all afternoon!"  my mom yelled

Without saying a word I ran up stairs almost in tears if the fact that I thought my mom and dad suspected me. I had no one to talk to. Not my friends, not my family.

A few weeks had passed with more media and lies. No one had called or text. I felt cut off again. Then I heard a knock on my window. I opened it to find Sarah.

"You wanna' come back out?" she yelled

"Sure, one minute" I yelled back

"Wait, I'm not allowed out the house" I called to her 

"Okay...well, can I come up?" 

"How?" 

"watch!" 

She then lifted her self from the ground and did a summer salt up to the window. I moved so she would be able to get in the small white wooden window. She finally into the room. 

"urm..here sit down" I pointed to the bed

"I'm guessing you have a lot of questions?" she asked

"Yeah I do" I said

We sat for hours talking about what had happened to each other. She explained that she was not involved in the deaths and she was deeply sorry. We talked some more. I asked her about how she became a vampire but she told me she would tell me another time. I'm guessed she didn't like talking about it. We finally came to the subject of what the vampires were to do with me. Sarah insisted she would keep me safe. I'm was comforting. 

"It's crazy how we have just met, yet I feel like I know you" she said quietly

"I know, I can't understand it..." I laughed to lighten the mood after that comment.

"Did you like Rachel, I mean like like Rachel" 

"No, Rachel and Josh were a thing....I think. Rachel was just a friend"

"So your single...?" She asked

While she said that she came closer and closer to me. At one point we had not spoke for a few seconds and we were face to face. At that moment looking into her eyes, all the pain and frustration went away. All the media and lies disappeared and it was just me and her, together. Her lips met my lips. Her lips were so soft and smooth, it was as if it was meant to be this way. I could feel my heart connect to her. Was this too fast? Or was it just perfect? I wanted to believe it was perfect. We then stopped as I could feel it was hurting her to carry on as I was human and she was vampire. She looked into my eyes and then kissed me on the check.

"I gotta' go, You want me to stop around tomorrow?..." she said

"Yeah, I'd like that" I said smiling 

She then jumped out of the window and on the ground. She then skipped away into the darkness.  Was it crazy to be madly in love with a vampire? Was I dreaming? Because when I was with Sarah it felt like one.
