I stared into the darkness. I didn't know what to do. I'm only sixteen! I couldn't just do something that could end my life but my parents life as well. Tristian life. I loved Tristian way too much to do something to screw up his life. My parents were the biggest jerks on earth but that didn't mean I would wish something bad upon them.
11pm.
I am awake staring at my ceiling. I couldn't get the words that she said out of my head.
So I died.
I was resurrected.
Does that make me a zombie? I mean I have a heart beat. I had a pulse. My respiration was fine. Mg digestion was beyond perfect. Nothing other than regular human food.
You are no ordinary human.
She had said the words so softly but her voice. The pain in her voice. It hit me like a gunshot to the heart.
Why couldn't I be a normal kid. A normal sixteen year old. Have normal problems like stupid girl drama. Boy problems.
The thought of that made me blushed
Caleb.
He was such a gentleman. It was so unreal. I kept playing the moment over and over again on my head. He held me like no one ever held me before. Firm but with care.
The thought of him eased my mind away from all the demon trouble.
I should have been asleep. It was passed midnight and I had school in a few hours. I closed my eyes tightly forcing the sleepiness to overcome my body with one thing on my mind while drifting away into the nothingness.
Caleb.
**************************************†********
"You can't escape Tera! You can't escape!" he slithered. His voice was so dark. So deep. "I will have your soul"
*†********************************
*Beep Beep Beep*
My alarm went off.
6:30am
What the hell was that!
In all my years of dreaming him, he never spoke. Not once .
Apparently the thought of Caleb was not enough to drive him away. He still found a way inside my head. Intoy dreams.
I have to do this. Or I can just die. Leave my family out of this . Leave Caleb out of this. Cannot get attached to Caleb. I told myself. I cannot love him.
I pushed the thought of this situation aside got dressed for school, purposely avoiding my parents and hoping to reach just before the bell rings.
**********
As I walked down the hallway I saw him. Caleb. Again . Standing by my locker. Was he waiting for me all morning?
"Hey Caleb" I mumbled under my breath
"Hey how you been"
"I'm okay." I said grabbing my books. "Sorry but I need to get to class"
And just like that I pushed him away.
I figured One less person to love. one less person to get attached to. One less person would be affected by my curse or whatever the hell it was. I liked Caleb....I liked him a lot...but I wasn't gonna be the reason his life was in danger.
***"
At lunch I sat alone in a corner. Again buried deep in my thoughts. I had a big decision to make and less than two months to decide my fate.
"Mind if I sit with you?"
I looked up...It was Caleb
Again Caleb!
I needed to stay away from him
Not get attached to him.
I couldn't drag him into this mess. Or maybe I already did when I opened my big mouth and spilled beans to him.
"*sigh* um yeah sure " I said.
He sat. And I sat.
The silence just consumed us and it was like that for like ten minutes. Him eating. Me playing with the spaghetti on my plate. And silence .
"So..." he broke the silence, "I was wondering if maybe you would like to go to the park after school."
"Sorry Caleb. I'm kinda busy."
"Oh..well what about tomorrow?"
"I can't I got stuff to do. Just leave me alone okay!" I snapped.
I picked up my plate with unfinished spaghetti and I left.
I just left.
No explanation nothing.
I didn't want to hurt him. But I didn't want to get attached. I didn't want him to get attached.
I looked back and I saw one thing. A crushed soul just sitting staring in my direction because of my cold hearted ness.
