Sucker For Blood//Brooklyn Wyatt (Complete)

~20~

💎Ivy💎

2:34am

Brooklyn and I are both silently laying in bed. Everyone is asleep, except for us. We couldn't sleep. I'm not exactly sure why he can't sleep, but I know that I can't sleep because I'm worried. I'm worried about the kids and my friends and family. I know that we moved farther away from Jacob, but I still can't help but wonder if he'll find us and do what he said he would do, which is hurt the people that I care about the most.

"We've found somewhere to stay for as long as we need. Tomorrow we'll tell you where, but right now we're all really tired and just want to sleep," Joel informed.

"Okay. Goodnight, Joel," I said.

"Goodnight, Luna."

"They've found someplace to stay. Joel said they'll tell us where tomorrow but they're tired and just want to sleep," I told Brooklyn.

"I feel kind of bad making them come here," Brooklyn admitted.

"Don't feel bad. They'll be safer with us," I reassured.

He nodded and snuggled closer to me, laying his head on my stomach. I played with his hair and he hummed in satisfaction. Soon, I heard soft snores coming from him. I giggled and continued playing with his hair. Soon, I fell asleep as well.

I woke up to the sound of talking outside the room that Brooklyn and I were staying in. It sounded like Mikey, Andy, Rye, and Andy's aunt. (I realised that Brooklyn and Andy are brothers in this story, so I changed it to aunt. Oops😂)

I moved slightly and Brooklyn groaned and stirred, but didn't wake up.

I listened into what they were talking about, my curiosity taking over.

"Alana has had a pretty hard past, especially with Jacob. I actually never knew until I saw him again a few years ago," Mikey said.

"So, he...abused her?" Caroline asked, making sure that she got the facts right.

"Yeah. I..." Mikey sighed. "I swear I could've killed him when I figured that out." His voice was a bit deeper than usual and his was spitting almost every word he said. He was most definitely angry.

"It was hard to figure out that the person you've known since you were little was going through that much without you even knowing," Rye said quietly, sounding a bit defeated.

"I'm sure she was just scared," Caroline reassured.

"Yeah. But to hide it for that long. It took a hundred years for us to finally figure it out," Mikey said. He didn't sound as angry now, but I could tell he still wasn't very calm about the topic.

"I don't really know much about what Ivy went through because I haven't known her for as long as you guys have, but now she is practically my sister and to know that he still wants to hurt her and all of us is just...fucking stupid," Andy said, his voice slightly raised.

It was silent for a second before Mikey spoke up again.

"She used to always come back with bruises and cuts. I always asked her what it was, but she would just make up some stupid excuse and I believed her. She used to come back looking like someone just beat the shit out of her after she told me she was at Jacob's and I never even thought that he could've done something to her," Mikey said. I couldn't even tell what he was feeling anymore. He just sounded emotionless.

"It's not your fault though. She obviously couldn't have told you, or else it probably would've gotten worse," Caroline commented.

"But she was hurt. She was being hurt by someone that I trusted. He beat the shit out of her and I trusted him when I shouldn't have," Mikey said. I stopped listening after that, not wanting to hear what else they were going to say.

Tears welled up in my eyes and slid down my cheeks as I silently sobbed.

"It's okay, Ivy. You'll be alright," Silver reassured.

"I-I don't know about that anymore," I said.

I sobbed a bit louder and then Brooklyn stirred and slowly opened his eyes. He looked up at me and instantly sat up, holding my face in his hands.

"Baby, what's wrong? What happened?" He asked.

I shook my head and buried my face in his bare chest. He wrapped his arms protectively around me and kissed the top of my head.

"It's okay, love. You're gonna be okay. Calm down," He whispered soothingly.

Soon I managed to calm down and I looked up at him. He wiped my eyes and kissed my forehead.

"What's wrong?" He asked again.

"I overheard Mikey, Rye, and Andy talking to Andy's mom. They were talking about Jacob..." I trailed off, knowing that I didn't need to say anything else because he already got the memo.

"I'm sorry, babe," He apologised unneededly.

"It's fine. I'm okay now," I reassured, smiling at him.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

I nodded and hugged him.

"Hey Iv!" Rye said cheerfully once I got downstairs and into the living room.

"Hey Rye," I said, giving him a small weak smile.

"What's wrong?" He asked, noticing my lack of enthusiasm and energy.

"Nothing. Everything's fine," I said, although I knew that was a lie, and I knew that he knew as well. I still couldn't get their words out of my head. I never realised how much it actually affected them.

"Are you sure?" Mikey asked.

"Yes, Mike. I'm fine," I stated, trying to make them believe me, but it was hopeless.

"Okay," Andy mumbled, knowing that it wasn't true.

"I'm just stressed," I said. That wasn't really a lie, I was. But it wasn't exactly what was wrong with me.

"Are you sure that's all?" Andy asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Really." I looked at them all with serious eyes before walking into the kitchen.

"Hi, dear." Caroline gave me a polite smile.

"Hey," I greeted.

"Would you like anything to eat or drink?" She asked.

"Uh, sure..." I said awkwardly. I wasn't sure how to ask her for a blood bag. I'm not even sure if she's a werewolf or a vampire. I know she's not human though.

"What would you like? Oh, and before you ask, I do have blood bags," She said.

"Oh, um, can I have a blood bag please?" I asked, scratching my arm nervously.

"Of course." She smiled and got one out of the freezer. Then she heated it up in the microwave and put it in a cup and gave it to me.

"Thanks," I said with a polite smile. Then I walked back into the living room and sat down beside Brooklyn.

Hey guys! I stayed up all night writing this, so you better like it😂 Jk. But I'm seriously so tired and I had school today. Fun!

Anyway, hope y'all have a great day!

See you on the flip side🌵🔄
