Blood Buddy / Fransykes

Chapter 7

Hi guys!!! There's a new cover, since the last one was really annoying me lol. I think this one matches it a lot better ^^ love ya

"Oh, hey Oliver, come in!"

"Thanks Amy, I hope I'm not any trouble, I just really need to get this done." I shyly spoke, walking into the living room, following the Franceschi maid behind into the living room. It was definitely spotless compared to the last time I was here. Last time it was covered in mangled corpses, this time it looks like the set of a movie for being so clean. I wondered how they did it, blood was not easy to get rid of.

"Oh, no, not at all! Please, make yourself comfortable. Mr and Mrs Franceschi will be here soon." She gestured to the couch so I took my seat, while she stood beside the door. She wasn't allowed on the couch, sadly. She wasn't really allowed to do anything other than clean and cook. Sometimes sleep.

"Right.." I was going to discuss Josh's birthday, of course, but I also wanted to ask about what that call was about. But would Josh not want that? Should I ask? It was probably a private call about family business or something that they wouldn't want to discuss with me, since I don't know anything.

"Hey, Mr Sykes," Amy called to me, making me look at her again. She seemed like she was happy. She always seemed to cheery, so full of life, but I never understood why. I could never be that happy in a life like this. Does she have any family who visit her? Now that I think about it, I've never really thought about her in this light. "I'm not supposed to say much, but Josh has been working really hard for your birthday. Well, when he was here. I'm unsure if he's finished or not if he's staying at yours..." she looked like she was pondering her thoughts.

I felt butterflies swim rapid in my stomach. Josh has been working hard? Was he making or arranging something? It didn't matter, I would love it regardless. Even if it was a freaking egg, I would love it and protect it with my life. That would be the best egg I've ever received.

Even though I was excited and thrilled for whatever Josh was planning to me, I also felt a sense of competition to make mine just as good, if not better. I wanted this to be the best birthday he's ever had. 19 is such a huge birthday. I need to make this one of the best birthdays, ever. What is something we've never done before?

Josh is the type of boy who loves crazy things. He loves an adventure, something risky, something insane.

If only we could... Oliver, stop thinking about that night! I get it, it feels like someone pushed a flaming dagger into your heart and stomach and now you're heartbroken, but thinking about it constantly is just going to make you upset!

"Oliver, hi."

A feminine voice, clearly Josh's mother, snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked to see her walking into the room with Josh's dad. She gave me a smile where as Josh usually just gave me a nod. It was weird how Josh acted like a combination of them both but way more crazy, but he looked so much like his dad. Granted, I don't know much about his dad, we don't really talk. I wonder if I look like my dad.

His mum sat down on the couch next to me where as his dad sat on the one across from us. I don't think they know why I'm here, so I'll have to briefly explain then get to converse about it.

"Hello Oliver, how is Josh?" Josh's dad asked me without much emotion in his voice. Of course they'd want to know how he was, he hadn't talked to them since that day when he broke the headmasters phone. I'm still wondering what the correlation between Josh's family and the school is.

"He's fine, he's good, and I have to talk about him actually." I smiled to let them know it wasn't anything bad, to which they gave me a slight nod, wanting me to go on, but I guess they'll want to know how he is first. "He's been doing good, really good. I have no idea what happened between you guys, but... he's fine now, so maybe he'll come home soon?" If it were up to me, I would have him stay at mine forever, but sadly that's not the way it works. But hopefully we'll be roommates when we're older!
