Black Roses

chapter 3 (the issue)

I awake from one of the best sleeping I've had in awhile. The loud sound of what I thought was a fire truck and ambulance made my sleep ruined, but looking up I see my alarm going off. I dreadfully and slowly pull my two comforters off myself. All the memories of last night came rushing into my brain as I stand up and try stretching. My body felt like a garbage truck ran over me multiple times and then emptied the garbage all over me and left me there doing nothing but breathing to the sound of how fast my heart was beating.
I start my daily routine with turning my straighter on and brushing my hair. I then pit on something as simple as a black tank top with a "grandma" sweater over that and plain black leggings. Next is makeup witch takes about fourty minuets because every three minuets I'm changing the song I'm listening to. Looking closer into the mirror I see two indents in my neck vain. I lay my fingers over them as the feeling I'm getting is not natural for someone to have. These were holes, I knew that Liam didn't bite me. But he did lightly press his "fangs" against my skin.
I refuse to belive he's a vampire. Maybe I'm high and this is all some crazy conspicuous dream that I can't escape from and when I wake up ill forget about it. But I know it's not. I know what dreams feel like. This is no dream. I could have died last night. Liam dosnt seem like a rapist either. I don't know what to do, or say, or if I should even look at him today. What if he's not even at school and I'm just stuck with a chilly feeling and no closure on the situation that I'm in.
I get done with my routine, seeing that I have a couple minuets till the bus comes. I quickly run and puts my leather boots on and head downs stairs. Mom wasn't awake yet but the pizza was almost gone off of the island counter in the kitchen that you can see from the hallway and living room. I grab my backpack that has a bring me the horizon symbol on it and run outside.
I rushingly shove an earbud in my left ear so I can block out the most of the morning noises. I get onto the side of the road as behind me I hear a loud honk. Turing around I see the bus and the bus driver waving. I wave back and run with the bus for almost a minuet knowing if I stop I won't be riding the bus to school. I have the option to walk to school bit walking In heels is painful and having random strangers look at me when I walk is not my idea of fun. I'm not like your average outcast I sit in the front of the bus. Like I sit in the very fist seat, but only so I can be the fisrt one off.
I almost fall asleep as I feel the bus jerk with a smash on the wheels pulling into the school parking lot. Like I said I was the first one off. Walking g off the bus and on the cement to the stone stairs I see couple after couple and friend group with friends groups and I suddenly feel alone and insecure again. That's when steeping on the third step I turn my head and get a glance of Liam talking to some girl with brunet hair, not big boobs but a nice ass and a skinny flat body. "So he definitely had a girlfriend" I think to myself randomly feeling jealousy in the pit of my stomach. Liam glances at me while I turn my head and walk up the stairs shaking my hips a little to show off. It's not that I was flirtying, I've always been the girl who's lowkey hot but never has boyfriends. So I show off all the time to random people I don't even know. I take my head phones out of my earlobes and wrap them around my phone placing them in my bag as the first bell rings. Making me head down stairs to math.
Like my usual self I copy down notes that the teachers write on the board bit I don't pay attention. I write lyrics to songs I know I'm never going to sing in a plan old composition book that I should be using for science. I casual look up every four or three minuets to look at Liam... And his jaw line. The thing could slice a bitch in half. What I was noticing was I wasn't the only person looking at him guys where confused on why Liam was actually doing work and getting is correct, but also confused on why he didn't look like other guy here. Some girls where looking at him like he was hot, some not so much. I get that there interested in the new kid but at least talk to him before you go in stalker mode. The thought of Liam almost killing me last night is still lingering in my head, rummaging in my bag I pull out a some what crinkled note card. Big and clear in the center of the back of the note card I write "Why didn't you just kill me then and there?" Of course thinking about handing him a note card made me have butterfly's out saying I'm cute makes me all wiggly. I wait a couple minuets to make sure the teacher didn't turn around. I get up and walk four desks and one row down hand him the note card and run over to my seat without a sound and without getting caught by the teacher. Liam at first looks over at me with a disappointed look in his eyes. Then takes almost five minuets to return the card to me. I flip it over knowing there's no way he had written anything on the side I had written on. "Meet me at lunch where the janitors closet is." I look up and meet his eyes giving him a shuttle nod of acceptance.
In some weird erotic fantasy way I was hoping he'd take me into the janitors closet, but I also knew that would not happen on my watch and the janitors watch. She's kinda protective over her equipment due to the lack of love in her life. Quickly lunch came around. I noticed Liam right away but also noticed the multiple girls and one guy talking to him. His normal "I'm ignoring you" Look was more of a "shut the hell up before I cut you" Look. It was very clear he was annoyed by something. I approach the circle table, as he sees me coming he grins a little and shoes away his little crowd. He pulls out a chair acroosed from him and sits back down making a hand gesture to sit there.
"So want did you wanna talk about?" He says in his dusky dark toned voice. He was giving me JD vibes. (A character from one of my favorite movies and musicals heathers) He crosses his arms and tilts his chair backwards a little awaiting for an answer.
"I wanted to know why or what made you stop from killing me last night." I use a serious tone.
"There a simple answer, I just felt like not killing you." He tries pulling that sentience off with a serious tone like I did but I could tell he was being sarcastic.
"So then that dramatic freak out session was just you wanting to be dramatic?" I say feeling more confident about what I was talking about.
"Of course not I'm not just some freak, listen be careful what you say you never know who's listening."
"Great, are you some kind of spy or something." I start sounding annoyed.
"Oh please, and I get that this all seems kinda strange, but if you want to know the truth we can't talk hear." I just wanted this conversation to end, it was immature of him not telling me the truth. I'm the victim and should get some clarity outta what he did to me, but instead now I had to spend more time with him?
I start to stand up grabbing my things. "Well fine, I want the truth and you want a private place to tell me?" I look at Liam with almost an angry look. "So walk me to school tomorrow. I turn away and start walking
" Wait!" I hear Liam as his chair scratches on the floor. I turn back around to face him. "Your not gonna eat?" I feel myself turn red with my facial expression turn into a confused look. I sit back down quickly so I can calmly explain to Liam my situation.
I place my fring behind my ear trying to look cute to distract him from what I was about to say. "Liam, I um.. Don't eat." I flutter my eyes giving a sweet smile.
"Oh, your on one of those liquid diets?" He asks
I continue to act innocent "no I just don't eat or anything." I try making my smile more believeable.
"Oh." An awkward silence grew between us. My smile disappears as the bell rings for us to go to fourth period. Liam starts to get up. I do to but I'm stopped by a harshly placed hand on my shoulder being turned around In a circular. In the blink of an eye my face is cetemerters away from another boy. I was so close for a second I didn't recognize him. I knew it was Axel, he the only reason why I hate fourth period.
"Hey mama, did you do the homework." He sudectivly says playing with a section of my hair.
"Did you?" I reply crossing a leg over my other one.
"No, I was busy. You know with all those chicks wanna me. How about you and me have a quick lil' study guide in the back bathroom? " Axel is usually like this to everyone. He thinks he's got when really he's a raccoon that got shot in the face multiple times. He slowly leans in to kiss me I didn't fight it because I knew I was gonna put my hand between our lips from touching. I would never ever kiss Axel even if I had to re-populate the world.
Suddenly, Axels face is pulled away from mine and hes turned around with someone grabbing him by the hair. "Don't, fucking touch her." I look over Axels shoulder to see Liam. Looking him dead in the eyes and his lips almost twitching. Axel just stands there not moving but he didn't have fear in his eyes either.
"Your not my dad." Axel says thinking that's the best roast he has.
Liam's grip on his hair quickly becomes more violent and he gets even more serious than before. "Are you fucking death? I said don't touched her." He punches Axels chest a little.
I'm hoping they fight. I would be supper popular if two boys fought over me. Especially if it was the fuck boy and the mysterious new kid. "Okay, okay I won't touch her. Calm down dude." Axel pussy's out. Liam let's go and watches Axel somewhat jog away. He then turns at me looks at me for a second and then walks away. Almost like nothing happend.
