He looked over at me, his fangs visible. He smiled in an evil manor. He didn't tell me this before I got into the situation... My pulse quickened and my legs weakened. I felt as though I could collapse from fear... I wonder why I trusted such a horrible threat.
4 days earlier
I picked myself off the ground. "Yeah, thanks for not even apologizing, jerks!" I yelled back at the laughing teens. Cameron, Daniel, and Scott. The "bullies" of Jack County. They were known for making everyone's life horrible. They started with me once I moved here from Wisconsin. I seemed like a perfect target to them, I guess. Now, I'm picking myself off of the ground in front of my dad's house. Was it worth it to move back in with him?
"Andy! Supper!" I heard my dad yell. I rushed inside, getting a swift glimpse of the food we were eating. Of course, the same thing as always. Rice and beans. He cooks this most of the time- when were not eating out- because it's really the only thing he knows how to cook. I just wish this day would be over with. I looked at the clock... 6:28 pm... School in 12 hours. Isn't that fun. I hate the school here. Somehow I managed to get stuck here. I didn't have anywhere to go after the incident with my mom. My father was the only one to take me in.
I fixed my plate and sat down, staring at it as I waited for my dad to finish his. I was just tired of eating the same stuff over and over again. "Andy, are you doing okay?" He was commenting on me not eating. "Dad, you don't know how to cook anything else?" I complained, immediately regretting it because of the huge favor he was doing for me. He sighed. "I know. I guess I'm not the 'cooking type' like your mother." He chuckled, like I wanted to even think about that horrible woman. He got the hint and cleared his throat, his face going back to the serious manor. I got up, walking softly to my room. I decided to lay down and try to get my mind off of things. I could hear my father's foot steps downstairs and the phone being dialled. For years he has had that phone. The buttons just got old and loud. I looked around the room to find something to distract me. Of course, nothing was in my image or interest. I tried to focus on random things in my room, but it didn't help. I couldn't help but wonder about the mumbling from my dad on the phone. "...yes but you... him here... you left... alone... you need to be there for... Andy didn't do anything..." I sighed, knowing exactly what he was doing. He was trying to send me back to mom. Not like I would ever consider that. I starred up at the ceiling, my aubran hair staying out of my face for once. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. I had nothing else to do, so I just slept.
I was awoken in the middle of the night. Well, it was more like 4 am. I groaned and rubbed my eyes, looking outside before groaning louder. It was still dark out... which means I have at least an hour before school. Or however long. I wasn't awake enough to look at my clock on the side of my bed. I heard my dad downstairs. I guess he's heading out to work. He always works early and comes home in the evenings. He used to work all day everyday, but he changed it when I moved in so that he could spend more time with me. I don't feel as though we have gotten closer. We have drifted apart more than anything. It's because he's always brought up my mom or told me I need to find a place pretty soon. It's like, how desperate are you to get rid of me? I sighed and decided to get an early start on getting ready. I walked to the bathroom connected to my room and shut the door behind me, lightly walking to the shower and turning it on. Maybe a shower will help me wake up a bit.
Soon, I was finished after washing my hair and body. I honestly felt a lot more awake then. I wrapped a towel around my waist and walked out into my room, shuffling around slightly to get to my dresser. Once I got at least the bare minimum of clothing on, I walked to my closet and carefully picked clothes that wouldn't draw attention to me. A long-sleeve white shirt with a blue flannel and black jeans. Perfect. I checked my clock before putting on my socks and shoes. 5:43 am... I wasn't expecting it to be so late. I dried and brushed back my hair before rushing out of the door with my backpack. I locked the door after checking that the spare key was still where it belonged; under the little rock in the garden. It was a little garden. More like a flower bed. I walked to the end of my driveway and waited for the bus.
15 minutes later, Mrs. Alans pulled up in the big bus. I walked onto the vehicle, moving all the way to the 3rd seat from the back. No one really sat back here but me. Or so I thought... Appearently, someone was already sitting in my seat. Me, being the awkward person I am, didn't bother asking to sit with him. Before he looked up... He smiled. "You can sit here." It was like he read my mind... I sat down, looking at him with an 'are you sure' look. He chuckles a bit. "I'm Jaxon." He spoke in a low voice. I admired the boys features... He had raven black hair that was perfectly groomed, bright blue eyes, perfect jawline... Oh my god, this guy is perfect! I just smiled. "I-I'm Andy." Curse my stutter... We starred into each other's eyes a bit. I felt as if I was in a gay romance novel, aka, my dreams. I mentally shook my head, bringing myself back to the reality that a guy this gourgoes would never go after be, if he even is into guys. "So, are you new or something?" I asked, my voice cracking slightly. I mentally face palmed and he chuckled. "Actually, yes. I just transferred from North Billville. It's about 40 miles from here." I suddenly got really happy. "Oh! Maybe I can show you around." I smiled.
Biggest. Mistake. Ever.
Over the next few days, I took an extreme liking to him. He had a few of my classes too. We were inseparable. But one Saturday, 4 days after we met, we were walking. It was a weird side of town and it felt as though he knew where he was going completely. I just followed, unaware of the danger I was in. He led me down a road and into an alleyway. The streets were completely abondoned. There was no one in site. He faced the chainlink fence, his back turned against me. I gulped. "J-Jaxon?" I tried to get his attention. "You are stupid for trusting me, you know..." He spoke lower than the day we met. "W-What do you m-mean...?" Then... It happened... He looked over at me, his fangs visible. He smiled in an evil manor. He didn't tell me this before I got into the situation... My pulse quickened and my legs weakened. I felt as though I could collapse from fear... I wonder why I trusted such a horrible threat.
He started to run after me. I screamed and ducked, too afraid to run. He chuckled and stopped before me. "Join me..." He softly whispered. "You'll be immortal..." I gulped again at his words. I had no choice but to agree... He held his hand out and I placed my hand into his. He bit my wrist and I winced in pain. I closed my eyes for the rest of it, too scared to face him. He separated his fangs from my arm and smirked. I looked up at him. He helped me up and smiled at me. I looked at him with sadness in my eyes. Jaxon placed a hand on my cheek and kept his smile. "Thank you..." Is all he said before kissing me passionately. I kissed back, afraid to not obey. I realized... I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid of the things he could do. The power he had... I had to find out more. Are there others? What did he do to me? Am I one of him now? Why did he kiss me? All questions that soon were marked as unanswered... I felt evil eyes on me... then black...
