[11] My bestfriend is a what?!
Chap 11
We made it to the car in about half an hour, we would've made it there sooner but Chase refused to carry me, saying how he just liked to walk and talk about things with me. But turns out we didn't really talk, I was concentrating on staying up-right on my feet because the ground we so bumpy.
We listened to Chase's new CD in his car as he drove me back to my house, we went upstairs to my bedroom and we sat on my bed. I began the conversation, "Can I see your face?" I asked extremely curious, I wanted to see it and he said I could if I asked.
"Really?" he asked, looking straight at me.
I nodded smiling.
"Okay." he sighed. He closed his eyes still facing me, I saw his lips part as his fangs grew slowly, I looked at his eyes where cracks appeared around them and became dark. I blinked, this was amazing how he could change with a click of a finger. I looked back at his eyes which were now open and staring right into my eyes, they were blood red. I couldn't look away I wanted to stare at him forever. I reached my hand out to touch his face it felt smoothe, not like i'd imagined, after a while I dropped my hand. We were gazing into eachothers eyes when Chase's phone rang, he looked down to hi pocket and reached to grab his phone, he pressed the call button and looked at me whilst he spoke. His face back to normal again.
"Hi, yeah of course I am...... Can I bring a friend?" he looked at me with a cheeky grin, "okay thanks. Cya then." he hung up the phone.
"What was that look for?" I asked.
"We're going to a party Saturday night." he answered.
"What party?" I questionned suspisiously.
"Amanda and James', at their house, and you're going with me." he smiled.
I looked at him with a raised eyebrow, he looked at me with those puppy dog eyes and practically begged me to go. I sighed, defeated, "Fine!" I agreed and went to sit on the window seat. He followed me and sat opposite.
"I should get going, it's getting late." I looked at the clock, it was 9pm.
"Okay, cya tomorrow" I waved as he left my house the normal way but he hesitated at my bedroom door and began walking towards me again, he grabbed me in the biggest hug I've ever had, "Thankyou." he whispered. Then he left, I heard him going down the stairs then the front door closed as I watched him get into his car an drive off.
I got up and walked into the bathroom to get ready for bed, I was really tired and not that hungry. When I finished in the bathroom I walked back into my bedroom and slipped my PJ's on. I got into bed and the next thing I know there's a big bang down stairs. I sat up startled and went to see what it was, I walked into the kitchen to see my da passed out on the floor smelling like a brurey. It was discusting. He's always drunk and my mums always at work so I've basically looked after myself since I was 10 when my mum got a new job and my dad lost his and turned to alcohol. It's quite sad but I've always got Chase. I walked over to my dad and grabbed the bottle out of his hands and placed it on the dinning table, no doubt he'd want it back when he's awake, an tried picking him up but he was too heavy so I decided to drag him into the living room onto the sofa and drag a blanket over him. I sighed and went back to bed.
I woke up the next morning to my parents arguing. This alway happens when they're both home at the same time, I don't know how they're still together.
I went for a shower and went to my wardrobe choosing what to wear for the day, I looked outside and it was bright sunshine so I had to wear something summery. I chose to wear a pink tank top and white shorts, and now the shoes, I picked up a pair white plimsols and thought they'll do. Then onto my hair, I held it up to see if it would look okay in a messy bobble and it did so I grabbed a bobble and tied it up. Then I did my make up.
When I was satisfied I took one last look in the mirror and grabbed my bag before heading downstairs for breakfast. My parents were still agruing, "Morning!" I shouted over them and they totally ignored me. I walked into the kitchen and looked in the cupboard for some bread, 'finally!' I though to myself, mums been shopping and I can have some toast.
After I had a slice of toast and a glass of fresh orange I headed out the door shouting "Bye!" behind me--again beig ignored--as i turned to leave.
I began walking down my street when I heard a loud engine roar behind me, it wa getting louder so I looked behind me to see Chase's car slowing to a stop right beside me.
"Need a lift?" he asked with the bugest smile on his face.
"Sure." I hopped in his car.
When we got to school Chase cut the engine and we got out, he was greeted by some of his friends, they acknowledged me with a 'Hi' which was pretty unusual considering they act like I don't exist normally. I returned their gesture with a smile.
The day dragged but atleast it was Friday tomorrow, and it was 'Movie Night' and Chase would be coming round, it was my turn to pick a film and I had a pretty good one in mind.
