Vampire queen

Chapter 13

The sun woke me up and the realization that I have to face Kyle  made the grogginess fade. I got up and ready. After I was done I headed down to the kitchen. I see Logan and a few others standing around the island. I could hear them whispering but as soon as they noticed me they stopped. The people Logan was talking to left after I sat down at the island. "What was that about?" I ask him. He looked at me and shook his head as though he wasn't going to answer me. "Logan?" this time I said it sternly. He signed and said "We are trying to find the man who took you. We want to find the research he has so we can be sure we remain a secret." I nod. That makes sense. 

We didn't talk the whole way to the school. It was kind of nice to walk in silence. Once in the building I felt the air get stuck in my throat as soon as I saw Kyle. I know he saw me because I could see his cheeks blush. He started walking my way and I got nervous and took a step back before Logan grabbed me to hold me in place. I looked up at him with I know was probably sheer panic on my face. "You need to talk to him. You need each other. I don't like it but as long as you don't tell him what we are then I'll let it be." Logan says. All I could do was nod. Logan left as soon as Kyle reached me. 

"Look I'm sorry about yesterday. I was upset and you remind me of her. The shape of your face down to the way you smell is like her. I just... I'm sorry" he said. I took a deep breath. "It's fine. It happens and we just move on from it." I encouraged. He nods. I start walking but he grabs my arm and stops me. "Let's ditch." I hear the excitement. "We can't do that. What about you wanting to do to a big college?" I slip. He gives me a questioning look. "How would you know that?" I froze. I so messed up. "Think you said something about it last night." I think fast covering up my slip up. "I don't want to be here and it's my last year. I don't think that one day is going to hurt anything that bad." he states. I nod an okay. 

We leave and get in his car. I don't know where he is going to take us. It wasn't so long until he pulls into the mall parking lot and I couldn't help but laugh. I know why we came here. He loves the asian food place in the food court. When we head in sure enough he goes right to the food court. "Get what you want it's on me." he offers. I nod a thank you. "I'll have a water please." is all I ask for. When we take a seat he finally says something. "Are you sure that's all you wanted? Like I don't think I have ever seen you actually eat. You don't have an eating disorder do you?" He questions with concern. I shake my head. "No, I don't have an eating disorder. I'm just not hungry right now." I state. 

"So, what is with you and that guy you are always around? Are you two together?" He asks. For some reason I thought I heard jealousy. "Who? Logan? No, we are not together. We just live together." I answer. "You guys live together but aren't together? Are you family or something?" He keeps digging deeper. "No, we aren't family. It's really complicated and a long boring story." I say trying to get him to drop it. I know he won't because I know him. "We have all day." he says with this smirk on his face that I haven't seen in awhile. 

I got up from the table and Kyle followed. We started to walk around. I stopped in front of a wind that had a beautiful dress in the window. It was a long prom dress. It was a dark green silk dress with a swooping neck line and thin straps. There was a slit going up the side. It was everything I always wanted for a prom dress but knew I could never afford. "Why don't you go try it on?" Kyle's voice brings me back. I shake me head. I started walking again and the room started to move. I felt Kyle's arms come around me as the ground came up from underneath me. 

"Hey, Emery. Hey." I could hear Kyle saying as his warm hands put something damp and cold against my face. The darkness faded as my eyes opened. "What happened?" I asked groggy. "I don't know. You fainted and I think it might be because you haven't eaten today." Kyle answers with concern in his voice. I sit up. "Hey, take it slow." Kyle says with is hands still on me. I look at him and see the guy I knew before all this happened. Maybe I'm not messing this all up. Maybe I can bring him back. I finally got back to my feet. "I think I need to go home." I stated. Kyle nods in agreement.
