The Right One • Kevin Keller

Chapter 9: Please Forget About It.

Ashton's Pov

"He did what? " my father asked furious to Andrianno. "He kissed a human being." Andrianno repeated again.

My mom walked closer to me. "Boy are you forgetting what The Dark Lord told you ? When you didn't follow his rules?" My mom asked Angrily.

"I WAS DRUNK OKAY?" I yelled to my parents. "What if the Dark Lord or one of his followers had seen you Alejandro? Do you know in what danger you were putting yourself?" My dad asked. "And Kevin." Andrianno added.

"You need to stop seeing that boy." My mom said while sitting on her chair. "But im his only friend." I complained.

"Boy, we escaped from the previous town so that we could hide. And what are you doing? You use your abilities on that boy without reason!" My dad sighed.

"I was helping him out? Is that so bad? Kevin needed help to feel better about himself." I sighed and looked towards the wall. "If the dark lord had tracked your source of energy he would have done something to that boy. And you know what will happen if the person you have feelings for dies right ?"

I sighed. "Then im not a Warlock anymore..."

Kevin's pov

I basically run inside of the school hallways trying to find Ashton. I needed to talk to him about the kiss. I mean the last thing i could remember from the party was me and him walking inside the house and then me waking up on my own in a random room in Cheryl's house.

I almost bumped into mr. Honey while running so i had to stop. "Mr.Keller?" He looked at me with that serious look on his face. "Don't you know its forbidden to run through the hallways?"

"Sorry sir , but this is kind of an emergency?" It came out more like a question rather than a answer. "Oh i think that you wouldn't mind then also running to detention after school today." I looked furiously. "What? Thats unfair!"

"Keep talking and you will have detention for the whole week." I sighed. There was no point in fighting with him. I nodded and walked past him. After some walking i finnaly saw Ashton. He was walking towards the direction i was until he saw me. He quickly turned towards another hallway.

"Hey Ashton." I yelled and started running after him. People were staring at me but i didn't care. I turned into the other hallway and saw him getting behind the vending machine.

I stood infront of the vending machine. "You can get out Ashton, i saw you going behind this machine." I said but i got no answer. Does he really think im that stupid?

I carwled beside the vending machine but surprisingly Ashton wasn't there. "What the-"

Then i saw the curtains. Is he hiding behind the curtain? I pushed the curtain to the side and i faced a door. Wait , there isn't supposed to be a door here. In the summer we needed to do some painting at the school and i remembered that i painted this side and there was a wall , not a door.

I slowly opened the door wich revealed a dark and small hallway. "Ashton?" I closed the door behind me and walked further in the hallway there was a staircase that led towards this huge black door. Something was written on it. I think it was in Spanish but i couldn't understand. I should pay more attention to my Spanish lessons.

I placed my hand on the door trying to push it open but it felt as i was putting my hand inside of fire. "WHAT THE FUCK!" I yelled and took my hand away and moaned in pain. I just burned my hand!

The door opened revealing a a worried Ashton. "K-Kevin?" Ashton looked behind me probably looking if someone was with me. He quickly grabbed me and puted me isnside in the room that he was in.

I forgot a little about my pain cause it looked as if i just stepped into a new century. There were books everywhere, some weird symbols and many more. "Woah." I had lost my words.

Ashton placed me on one of the couches. "How did you find this place Kevin?" Ashton asked me. I looked into his eyes. "I followed you. Why are you avoiding me Ash ?" I asked. He grabbed my hand that i just burned but to my surprise it didn't hurt.

"Im not avoiding you Kevin." He said Shortly looking towards another way. "It sure looked like it. Look we need to talk." My hand started feeling cool in his hand.

"I shouldnt have done that Kev..." I shook my head. "You wanted to kiss me. There is nothing wrong with that. I wanted you to kiss me." I admitted and blushed. "Please forget about it."

I looked into Ashtons eyes. "I don't want to forget about it. Please look into my eyes and tell me that you truly regret it. I know you don't." Ashton sighed and looked into my eyes. "I regre- okay if i told you that i regeted it i would be lying." Ashton admitted. I smiled. "But Kevin you don't understand, we can't be together."

I sighed. "Make me understand. Why can't we be together? Are you in the closet?" He shook his head. "You are gonna be in danger if we are together." I chuckled a little. "Why Ashton? Is your father a serial killer? Are you a drug dealer? Are you in a gang? Ive surived much, im not afraid."

Ashton shook his head again. "No Kevin. Its just so hard to explain. Look at your hand." He said. I looked towards him confused. I looked towards my hand and let me just tell you. There was no sign of the burn.

I stood up and jumped toward the wall. "What the- how did you do that?" I asked shocked. I touched my hand and it didn't hurt , anything. "Kevin , im not normal like you." Tears started falling out of Ashton his eyes. This was the first time i ever saw Ashton cry. I always saw him as this strong boy its kinda new for me seeing him cry.

"My family is not normal Kevin." I went towards Ashton and grabbed his hands. And without controling myself i just kissed him. He kissed me back. The kiss tasted kind of salty because of the tears but i didn't mind. "I don't care Ashton. Normal is boring anyways." I smiled towards him.

"What are you?" I asked him. Ashton placed me on one of the sofas. "Well since ive exposed myself already to you..." Ashton took a deep breath.

"Im gonna tell you everything Kevin!"
