Darker than black

Chapter 2 :

as other kids my age partied and went to adventure parks I sat at a bench inside the hospitals hallway . Looking straight at the ground making me look like a sad and depressed ghost .

One day I'll actually be one , I thought as I rolled my neck and leaned against the wall. It was barely 9 am and I was already in the white walls of a white hospital , with no colors .

As if the walls camouflaged him , I had barely noticed A pale and slender figure approaching me, he was holding freshly printed documents with both of his hands .

Let that not be for me ...

" kodaline holts ?"

It was for me .

I looked up to see a middle aged man with a tight smile , handing me a heavy amount of documents with my name on the top .

" you'll have to come with me" .

The rest of the conversation was a quick blur , as if I was driving during a blizzard and my windshields weren't working . 

After signing a couple of papers and politely shaking the doctors hands ,
I hurried out of the hospitals doors finally letting the first tear slide down my cheek .

Starting chemotherapy , starting to to give up on my dreams , giving up on a chance to live like a normal person .

I haven't even dated before , never even had the chance to go to my first college party and get totally wasted . But I'm here , looking like a fool , crying outside a hospital by myself .

As I wiped the last of my messy snot , I looked around to see if anyone had Noticed a 21 year old having a total mental breakdown .

Reasonably I just saw elderly and sick patients trying to get around in wheelchairs and casts ,
Until my wandering eyes caught a strange figure .

He was sitting down in a hospital bench, but oh my he made the bench look tiny .  His muscular but surprisingly slender body stretched out in a comfortable position , as he seemed to put his focus on the clouds .

I looked up as well wondering what he was admiring so much , but only saw  gray clouds dispersed into little clusters .

When I focused my attention back to him , as if almost mesmerized , what I was seeing had just gotten more peculiar . His eyes were a pale grey almost making them seem as If they could disappear at any moment . His black hair parted in the middle almost covering his eyes , making him look dark but with a chic style .

His neck covered with intricate tattoos that seemed to be in Latin , but I couldn't make out wordings only the shapes .

As I kept looking  , the more inhumanely handsome he got. He had a Defined jawline and cheekbone , I could skate down his nose bridge and land bouncing on his full lips .

Oh god what was I doing ,  My puffy eyes from crying got caught red handed . He was staring right at me , his stare so intense I trembled a little .

Oh no .

I rapidly looked down  at my imaginary watch and made a face pretending To check the hour .

Was he gone yet ?

I was wearing a long cardigan but I could still feel the icy breeze that made my body tremble as it seemed to pierce right through the thick fabric .

When I looked up he was right in front of me , those cold eyes that looked so lifeless pierced a rushing sensation right through me .
Fear , excitement, lust scrambled all at once into one small groan.
Incense , the smell of rich incense traveled my nostrils , making me gasp for more .

I could feel my heart pump in slow motion , as if the world had turned off and the silence had been turned on .

Oh my .

Too tired to fight back and Too afraid to scream I closed my eyes .
After a couple seconds went by , the busy noise of the hospital returned .

Life seemed to press play and People talking and cars honking filled my ears once again .

And like the smoke of a old Mercedes rushing through traffic ,

He was gone.
