The Bad Boy is a Vampire

Chapter 8: Do they have a past like mine?

Chapter 8: "Do they have a past like mine?"

Seconds past, Minutes past, hours past until I've stopped counting. Tic-Tac-Tic-Tac. That annoying clock's noise was really disturbing me. I was unable to sleep. I don't know what was I doing. I felt blank.

I still felt the fangs' presence just before it touched my skin. I still wonder how the boys and Astrid took care of that 'thing'.

Am I going crazy? Are my eyes betraying me?

I don't know what's real anymore.

Am I suppose to tell them what I saw? Are they going to reject me and tell me that I am crazy? I don't know if I can trust them yet!

Should I tell my parents that it's happening all over again? How many times I've seen this scene, it still have that effect on me. Where I don't know what to think anymore.

My body feels numb. I've been staring at that white ceiling for the past hour which went by painfully slow.

I could feel the painkillers' effect decreasing and the pain shooting from my head came back. I was unable to move. Unable to cry. Unable to yell for anyone. Unable to do...anything.

I heard the doors downstairs open and Astrid's voice could be heard from here. I closed my eyes, playing dead when I heard her and the other's footsteps on the stairs getting louder and louder.

I was pretty good at playing dead because most of the time when my parents are coming to talk to me at night after their work and most of the time, I would want to avoid any conversation with them. I love them a lot but sometimes I just want to be by myself and stay alone.

The bedroom's door open and I could feel a very cheery Astrid entering but as soon as she entered, I could also feel her bright smile decreasing as she grew silent.

"She has been sleeping for a while now!" I heard Nath's voice say, "She should sleep more after whatever she has seen! After all she did hit her head pretty hard on that tree!" Daniel added.

"Ugh I feel so freaking sorry! It wouldn't have happened if I was there!" Sam said.

"Sam we don't know that!" Astrid said, "Now all we have to wish for is that she doesn't really remember much things and all of it is just a blur in her mind!"

Why do they want it to be a blur in my mind?

I shook the thought off and kept on pretending to be asleep as they continue their conversation.
"Do you think she saw that he had fangs? Ugh stupid drunk vampire!" Sam said and my eyes would have grew wide at what he said if they were open.

How do they know about vampires?

Do they have a past like mine?

Why do they want it to be a blur in my mind??

How did they beat him up?

"But one thing!" Sam said, "can you hear her heartbeat or can you guys control her" he said the last part in a whisper but enough for me to hear.

What are they talking about?

Control me??

What do they mean by control me?

"Speaking of which, I was going to ask you the same! I tried once and...other few times, it never worked!" Nath whispered too.

What is he talking about?

"Is she dead?" Sam asked. I could feel everyone's eyes on him, "Don't be stupid asshole!" Astrid yelled at him. I mentally rolled my eyes at him.

I can't believe he thinks that!
