Hungry for you

I was at the store and I was having trouble finding dinner, I don't really feel like cooking for a long time so I just got sand which ingredients and my favorite type of lays chips.
•
Then it hit me, what if Caleb doesn't like Lays originals? No he's gonna enjoy it, that whole time I was shopping I prayed that my boyfriend is ok and Caleb. Back in high school me and him were best friends, he would always protect me and be by my side no matter what. He had anger issues sure, but he saved me from myself and other people. I couldn't just leave him after everything he has done for me, I eventually existed the store with a lot of things, I quickly packed the things into the car and drove to my house.
•
When I entered through the threshold, it was very quiet to quiet.
"Caleb!?" I yelled closing the door with a whole lot of stuff in my hands, I look around to see Caleb not on the couch. Maybe he's in the bathroom, I thought and unpacked the stuff but stopped when I recognized my bedroom light was on, I walked up the stairs and down the hall to see two bodies bloody and dead in the most gruesome ways possible.
And Caleb on the ground shaking and crying.
"Caleb?" I asked and he flinched, then he stood in front of me crying and with sharp claws, red hair and eyes and bloody clothing and hand.
"what did you do?" I asked pulling a riffle out of my pocket he flinched again and started crying more and more.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" I yelled pointing the gun at him.
"I-I k-killed cheater," he hiccuped sobbing pointing to Adam with this other woman.
"N-no, he didn't, you need to leave," I ordered pushing him out the back door as he begged me to not kick him out of my house. After that I closed the door but his cries made me feel sorry, but he was a killer. I looked at the security cameras that was outside my house and Caleb wasn't lying.
•
I let him back in.
•
"Please forgive me! I want to be a hero," he sobbed wiping away his tears even though it came back. "Are you a vampire?" I asked and he shook his head rapidly shaking.
"Do you eat humans or normal food?" I asked.
"Both I'm a hybrid," he said still shaking. He's like a little baby scared and worried.
"I-I can clean up the mess," he said, and just like that he cleaned the bodies up eating them both up, he put the private parts or the parts he didn't like in a big brown bag for his siblings, especially for Cole. He teleported then came back, still upset about what he did.
"Hey it's ok," I cooed hugging him as he is in his knees.
"Everything will be alright I promise," I said once more.
"Do you hate me?" He asked wrapping his arms tightly around my waist.
"No, I would never, come on let's get you cleaned up," I offered pulling his hand into the bathroom, he then got his clothes (cause he teleported again) then going into the shower as I made the sandwiches. He was probably full. I must be crazy letting him back into my house but he seems so innocent and child like, he says that he doesn't know how to control his powers nor blood lust he just knows it happens when he's mad.
•
After he was out the shower I gave him the sandwich and he pointed to the chips as well. So it was a good idea to get the lays.
We then sat down on the couch, and he explained how his old family was killed by vampires and he was the only one that survived only because they spared him. Such an impact on a child can be so painful to see and only at the age of three years old his family all left him alone and sad with no family to come to. Even though he is adopted the gaps in his heart are still not filled.
"I'm sorry that happened to you," I said full of sorrow.
"It's fine," he said taking a bite of his sandwich, it was quiet for a moment until he asked me,
"How did you and Adam meet and shy did you love him?" This question hit hard for me. I explained to him that he was my best friend and that he would always protect me no matter what happened. When we were about 21 or so he started hitting me and then claiming he had a long day or he was tired. I just dumb enough to not leave him because every time I tired to he would bring back up all the times he saved me from bullies and that I need to stay with him to repay it.
Caleb eyes were now a grey-blue color, was he sad?
"You ok?" I asked placing my hand on top of his.
"Yeah I'm fine I just feel bad for you, so the hell he put you through," he explained placing his plate on the table then facing me seriously. He then explains that he was once in love was well but she also cheated on him.
""My gosh, that's the one thing I don't understand,
Why would someone cheat even though they say they love you," we said that at the same time. I was shocked and so was he, we looked at each other to only laugh it off.
•
It was close to 10:38 so he decided that he would stay here with me so he can protect me. When I was going upstairs he followed me.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Going to bed," he said innocently, I let him follow me so he can sleep on this blowup mattress. His face showed disapproval and he wanted to sleep with me like in the same bed. I denied it and gave him a blanket and pillow we soon fell asleep.
••••••••••••••
"I killed her!" I hear a voice say and I turn around to see Caleb twisting and turning, sweating like crazy.
"No I'm not a monster! I'm a hero!" Caleb yelled again as tears fell from his face. I woke him up and he immediately hugged me tightly.
"I'm scared," he said sobbing, I decided that he could sleep with me in the same bed together. He told me that he had a nightmare about him accidentally killing me. He hugged me tightly as we both drifted back to sleep.
