My Vampire Crush

Chapter 40

I was outside for about 10 minutes waiting for Derek. I saw a dark figure come into view a few feet away. I stood up  and slowly walked towards my door but then I heard the figure call out to me I think.

"Jade it's okay. It's me Derek." The figure started to run and when he came closer to me, I was able to confirm that it was him. I sighed in relief and started walking over to him.

"Are we able to finish our conversation from earlier?" He asked while walking up to my porch and sitting down on the bench that was next to the front door. I followed him and sat next to him.

"Go for it." I looked down and started to fiddle with my thumbs.

"Okay well... your birthday isn't the only reason I'm apologizing like I said earlier. The other reason is because after school, I saw your two friends and three officers walk up to your other new guy friend. I thought he was in major trouble but then I heard you guys say that you and your boyfriend were kidnapped by some guys. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with me but, I figured something bad was happening to you and thought you wouldn't come back." He stopped talking for a moment. "I didn't follow them since again, it was none of my business but when I was thinking about it, you must've been going through hell and all I've done is act like a fucking pervert." I wasn't sure what to say so I just let him keep talking. "All throughout work I was worried you were killed or something and that I never got the chance to apologize. But when I saw you at the pizzeria, I was happy but also confused." I looked over at him and he looked at me but neither of us said anything.

"Well you are right about one thing... I went through a lot of shit. And I did almost die I'll mention that... But I'm here now right?" I tried joking.

"It's not funny Jade. Your parents, your friends, and your boyfriend all could've lost you. And you guys went out for pizza after being saved... really?"

"It wasn't even my idea. It was Jace's dads idea and everyone agreed."

"Well in any event, I'm just glad you're okay." I looked away and shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm not so sure about that. I'm not going to Lakewood anymore." I probably didn't mention it before but that's the name of my high school. But that's probably obvious.

"What? Why?"

"The guy that kidnapped me is enrolled there still and since he escaped, no one knows where he is and he might try coming for me or Jace again. No one at that school knows him and don't know what happened to me tonight so he's gonna be looking for me. And or Jace."

"I guess that makes sense. What does he look like?" I noticed he started to crack his knuckles.

"It doesn't matter Derek."

"Yes it does! Whoever this guy is put you through hell and probably even left you traumatized. I'm gonna beat his ass when I see him." He stood up then I did too.

"He's a vampire. He'll kill you!" There was silence.

"You really are fucked in the head aren't you?" He huffed then put his hands in his jacket pockets.

"No Derek I'm serious. Jace is a vampire as well. But fine don't believe me. You weren't even there when all this shit went down. You were too busy trying to get into my pants." I started walking away and to my front door but before I could reach for the handle, Derek called out to me.

"If you can get Jace to prove to me himself that he's a vampire, I'll believe it. I'll believe everything." I turned around to look at him.

"I doubt neither of us have our phones and I've only been to his house through some sort of teleportation. I'd have to hope he comes here tomorrow. Oh! And I have a question." I crossed my arms and started walking towards him.
