Zander's POV
As usual Reed pulled up in his Volo but he didn't walk over to us. "Is he still on about yesterday?" James asked irritated "probably" Titus pushed himself off his car and followed Reed in the distance I saw them bro hug and they started talking and walked into the building. "Dude you just had to ask him about his dad, we ALL know that's a rough subject for him" James broke the silence and start jogging after them. Great just what I needed, my cousins and at me. "He's right" Cameron and Kaiden said in sync "not you to" I groaned "sorry man but you did know about that" Cam said but left the subject drop.
The whole day Reed, James, and Titus didn't come near me well Reed didn't at least. James and Titus had to ride with me but as soon as we got home they stormed inside the house. I followed James into his room "dude why are you ignoring me?" I said annoyed with him. "I talked to Reed this is what he told me when I asked him 'you don't know what's it like James" he chuckled dryly reenacting it for me "you have a perfect family, your mom, Dad, Zander, Cameron, Kaiden, and your Uncles" he said with pain clouding his features. "You don't know what it's like to not have a father, no one to toss a football, no one to talk sports with, cheer you on while you play sports, and just be your Dad, but you do" he said looking right at me the whole time.
His words felt like slap to the face.
"He's right Zander" James said in a sorrowful voice "we know what's it's like, but when I asked about his mom his eyes light up" he grinned "he told me 'but my mom has. She tossed the football with me, talked sports with me, and cheered my on while I did basketball, but she's not my dad she my best friend, she's my mom, and hell she's my dad in one'" he repeated proudly. "He loves her so much" he sighed and flopped on his bed while I sat on his desk chair. "I screwed up didn't I?" I breathed out breaking the silence "big time man" James chuckled dryly.
Reed's POV
After school was one of those days for my mom. She is all depressed for a day or two. It kills me knowing that she is within miles of her family and she can't even see them. "Mom just go and see them" I pleaded her, as of now she was sitting in her room in her couch that was I front of her huge window "I wish it was that easy" she sniffled. "Tell me" I pleaded her grabbing her hand in comfort "the moon goddess will tell me when I can see them, with my own eyes in real life" she cried her shoulders shaking gently I rubbed her back.
"Soon then mom, soon then mom" I cooed in her ear. Earlier she fell asleep curled in a ball hugging a pillow and tears trailing down her cheeks. Kissing her head I shut her door and walked downstairs was about screamed when I saw Zander sitting on my couch "what the hell man!" I hissed "look man I know I screwed up" he got and stood in front of me "but I want to know the REAL you" Zander told me seriously. "No you don't" I laughed without humor "I do" he pleaded me. I used something my vampire taught me and read his mind.
Dad will be please that he is going to tell me. I need to find out more he is suspicious. Maybe he will tell me something I can use against him. I must know. He could be a danger to my family. Ha! He thinks I won't tell. I'm sick of him. Titus and James are annoyed with me and his fault. Him!
My eyes widened shocked. "Well, well, well 007's cover has been blown" I grinned evilly. Shock was on his face "w-w-what do you mean?" he stuttered "and to think I trusted you" I snorted and he fumed. "What do you mean?" he snarled I pinned against the nearest wall "remember who's house your in" I snarled "remember who your doing is to" he slat in my face. "Get out" I hissed my fangs hit my bottom lip "gladly" he slat and stormed out the door slamming it.
Zander's POV
I stormed from the house slamming the door. I sat in my car, fingers drumming against the wheel. Putting the car in reverse I caught a glimpse of a figure standing in the window. They wore a cloak but something about them chilled me to the bone.
Reed's POV
Xale wanted blood. And he wanted it NOW. Blaze wanted his head. My mom run down the stairs frantic look in her eyes "Xale calm down" she pleaded stroking my face. I knew one eye was silver with gold flecks and the other was a blazing orange. "He needs to be dead" they both growled taking over our shared body and she rushed into the kitchen and came back holding a knife. "Mom out the knife down" they both growled but she looked me in the eyes and drug the knife from her right fore arm and down to her wrist. I was red. Her blood spilled over the cut covering her arm and staining the carpet.
It had been days since Xake last fed and her blood smelled really good. She thrust her arm into my hands and my lips quivered and my fangs came out. "I.Can't" he choke out watching the blood spill everywhere "you must" Fire pushed through "Fire it'll hurt you" he choked licking his lips "so.be.it" she snapped. "Fine" he groaned pulled her arms to our mouth and sinking his fangs into her arms sucking the blood. She flinched then whimpered by the time he took his fangs from her arm she was in our arms breathing lightly 'WHAT DID YOU DO?!' I screamed in my head looking in fright at my mom.
'Shes fine her body will created more blood by tomorrow she'll be fine' Xale explained I huffed and shut them out. Her head rolled back and her soft snores filled the silence of the house. I smiled at her lifting her fully into my arms I carried her into my arms I carried her to bed tucking her in. 'I love you' her voice mumbled sleepily in my head 'love you to mom' I chuckled back sitting on the couch with a bag of classic Lays.
Matthew's POV
Today was one of those days. The struggle was real. I have days where I feel that she is somewhere out there. Then there days like these where I just lay in bed drowning in my own sorrows. "Dude get up" Adam poked me I mumbled some words in my pillow that he wouldn't like to hear. Then my world was turned upside down. Literally. He had pulled on the covers which I was cocooned in and that resulted to me fill ping upside down on the floor. "She wouldn't want you to be sad" Adam spoke softly "you try being with Sofia for 12 years" I hissed he didn't speak for minutes. "I get it known, but you have to live" he urged me.
"Is Zander back?" he asked just as the door slammed and a sailors mouth started running. "That answered my question" he chuckled and dragged me down the stairs where Zander was running his mouth like always. "Reed Cole Anderson watch your back" he hissed. I froze halfway down the stairs.
Reed Cole Anderson.
