As I was getting ready Friday night I tried taking the bandage off my neck. Both bite marks had completely disappeared. "Those healed quickly," I say to myself. My mom was getting off around ten tonight which is the same time Liam was coming to pick me up.
"It's fine if I hang with a couple of friends for a couple of hours right?" I text her.
She quickly replied, "yeah, just make sure you don't take to many shots."
When I do go out and tell her I'm with friends she always assumes I'm doing drugs and partying. I get that shed assume that she even did that when she was in high school.
I grab a small bag and shove my bathing suit in it with a couple towels. It was only weird for me not to wear a bra and a pair of panties because Liam was a guy. Witch in some ways is sexist but I don't really know Liam so I cautiously put a pocket knife in my bag. Just in case. I hear a knock on the front door around nine-fifty. "I'm coming!" I yell from my bedroom rushing down the stairs with my bag. Quickly taking a peek outside the front window, I see Liam as expected.
Opening the door he straightens his back and faces me. "Hey, you all ready to go?" He asked.
"Uh, yeah. I was just gonna changed when we got there."
"Okay well, we should get going." He says turning around and bending giving me the signal to piggyback ride him.
I jump on and without hesitation, he starts to run. It was uncanny for me to feel safe just hanging on to him. My feelings were stupid and I assume ill forget about them in a week or so. I've always been had guy friends. Girls where always to perky for me, they are just so annoying. They complain about everything and use their periods as an excuse. There also hypocritical, they will talk this big talk about how they except everyone but when a fat girl needs a friend they push her away because they think "ugly looking people" are annoying. When there really just desperate for friendship because they always get pushed away.
The moon was perfectly shining on the lake water, the entire place was empty and I wasn't scared of getting caught because the patrol we have loves letting responsible teens have fun. Liam sets me down and let's me go get changed in the girls bathroom. Tenically, behind the girls bathroom because it was pitch black inside and I wasn't about to fall while changing into a bathing suit. To be completely honest, I was worried as shit. Yes we where just hanging as friends but, my bathing suit was new and I wasn't sure if it was gonna fit right, that was just one worrie I had. I had totally forgotten about all my scars and what if I looked super fat in it, like I know I'm not super skinny but I don't just have scars I have stretch marks everywhere as well. Even on my goddamn boobs and that's the fat part a guy is supposed to like on a girl.
Like a scene out if a cliche romance movie I walk in to the moon light and Liam's face turns apple red, not sure if its because I'm a girl or if he thought I looked cute or some shit. All I know is I was trying my hardest to cover my scars and stretch marks as much as possible. That's when I noticed Liam's arm's. The left one had a slit on his inner elbow to his wrist and on his right arm he had another one slightly shorter. I know he's supposed to be a vampire or something but I thought scars dissapear and heal quickly. Not only was I surprised to see scars I was surprised on how hot he was with his shirt off. An easy way to forget about your feelings is to teach yourself that you hate that person witch is what I'm attempting to do with Liam.
"You ready to abandon your phone?" Liam gigles.
"Not like I was texting anyone anyway." I make sure my phone in the very bottom of my bag. Liam hands me his phone to keep safe as well. I was unsteady about this. My mind wouldn't stay positive, all I could worry about is if I looked fat or weird and I wasn't excited about my makeup washing off in the water. We saw a dock to the left of us making each other jump in quickly. I went first. Liam studered to jump in.
"What are you a pussy? C'mon the water isn't evencold." After that Liam jumped in with a smile spread across his face. It's like a clique teenage drama. Except me and him are friends that's it.
We start swimming toward the middle of the lake. "So what's life like for you?" I ask.
"Well you know I love in an apartment and I go to high school, the only thing that's interesting about me is that I'm dead." He says like answering a retorical question.
"That's not what I meant, like what's the relationship between you and your dad, how many times have you moved? Stuff like that. "
"Oh" He says. "Well I've moved about fifteen times since I became a vampire. We moved here from New York because my father was offered a job of being the apartment complex owner. Before he was an office worker. I live in my own apartment since he let's me. My mom died when I was five, I've probably graduated twenty times and turned eighteen like thirty times. I haven't gotten a tattoo yet and I've had one relationship before." His smile dissapered shortly.
I reached the point where I wanted to see how long it would take for me to hit the sand at the bottom of the lake. I could barely see my bag anymore. "You fine if I go under?"
"Sure you do you."
I plug my nose and sink myself under while I start to count. Around ten seconds I still hadn't touched the bottom and my ears even popped as it got hard for me not to breath. Around twenty seconds I barely hit the bottom and quickly pushed myself up accediently swallowing the water. That's when I hit the surface and totally spit all of the water on Liam's face. "Oh shit, I'm sorry!! " I wipe his face. When his eyes open his smile shows up again. He takes my arms carefully trying not to squeeze my cuts and silently looks at me.
"It's fine. " He slowly uses his fingers to wipe away the smeared makeup off my face. "You know, your not so bad looking without makeup."
Of course I feel my face turn into a fucking tomato and I change the subject. "Are your figures wrinkled?" I shout.
Sarcastically he says, "Well, yeah that's what happens when you swim for a while."
"I think we should head back then, I also don't want my mom to worry about me." I start swimming towards shore as Liam follows my pace the way there. "One, thirty two." I say. It's probably best for us to start heading home." I suggest.
Liam bends down as I grab my bag and hop on his back. The air was warm while he ran. I wished his little rides lasted longer. Just a little, it's not like I wanted to leave. I knew if I had stayed any longer things where gonna be awkward and I wasn't gonna ruin a potential friendship with someone. I'm never exited to go back home unless I have to clean my room or I have new music to listen to. Quick as expected we arrived at my house to quickly. I hand Liam his phone but before he left he grabs my hands.
"I know it's hard to admit being sad, so cheer up. " He puts my hair behind my ear and walks off.
"That was unexpected." I place my hair back to normal. Walking in the house I see my mom asleep half off the couch with some type of whisky laying in her arms. What else was I to expect? "How was your night sweetie." "Why are you wet?" "Oh my god you wernt with friends you where with a guy." I sigh trying not to think about it heading up stairs hoping that I didn't do anything tonight that could have ruined my chances of being friends with Liam.
