Bloodstream

Chapter 14

Anger boils up inside me as I see the girl who helped my boyfriend cheat on me. I want to hurt her. To scratch out her eyes, rip out her throat, burn her hair, bite her skin. Wow, this vampires really taking it's toll on me. But I do nothing. Because her child is there, because Ed is here and he's concerned enough already. So I do what I can do.
"Ed.."
"Yeah?"
"Wanna get really drunk?" He laughs.
"I have been waiting for you to say that since we met." And so we go back to my place where I have an entire room full of all the alcohols you could think of. Wine to whiskey to rum to beer. He picks up a bottle of vodka and I grab the Jim Beam. I watch as he walks up stairs to my kitchen. Using my speed I drink the whole bottle of Jim Beam and a bottle of wine. This vampire needs a headstart.

I meet Ed in the kitchen, I have a new bottle of Jim Beam in my hand. And we drink and drink until Ed can hold no more. The boy is off his face and dancing on my bench top to a song I've never heard before. I am feeling tipsy but my systems are fighting the substances. It makes me angry so I drink more. The thought of James and that slut in bed makes me drink more. The thought of life makes me drink more. And eventually I win my battle and am drunk beside Ed Sheeran.

To say I don't remember a thing is an understatement. I remember our beautiful date but the rest is a blur. I'm in my bed, still fully clothed and so is Ed, his handsome tux wrinkled I smile to myself and get up. I pull off my dress and replace it with a shirt and walk to the kitchen. I plan on making pancakes. My body has already fought off the hangover. I am half way through getting out ingredients when I look up and see Cameron in front of me. I let out a little squeal of surprise as Cameron chuckles.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Just wanted to see how you are going"
"I'm okay, but Ed is here so you better leave."
"Only if you let me drive the koenig-"
"Take the Aston and get out of my house you idiot" he grins.
"You're awesome lil buddy" he gives me a light punch on my arm.
"Ow!" I say. Then I freeze....I felt pain. His eyes look at me with sympathy...
"Vampires can inflict pain on other vampires.." He says and it reminds me of the pain the bloodthirsty monster Cameron created could do to me.
"Sorry sky..." he walks out just as Ed walks in, his tux gone, he's simply in boxers.
"Who were you talking too?"
"Oh no one, just talking to myself" I smile at him and mix up our pancake mix. He comes around behind me and hugs my waist kissing my neck. I giggle and flip his pancakes.
"You're beautiful" he whispers. I smile. He lifts his hand to my ear and pulls my hair behind it. He kisses just below my ear.
"I love you" he says quietly. My eyes widen and I turn around to meet his genuine gaze. Then I kiss him, passionately...genuinely. The way a lovestruck directioner would kiss Harry Styles. The way a wife would kiss her husband on their wedding day. A kiss full of love and admiration, meaning more than 'I think your pretty cool'. I was afraid to admit it, and to think it because I don't want to hurt Ed when I die. But I can't avoid the truth that I am in love with him. He reaches behind me and turns off the pan then picks me up and carries me to bed. A little while later I'm laying in bed beside him. I look into his beautiful blue eyes and smile.
"I love you too" I say. I close my eyes and he starts softly singing his song 'Wake me up'
"Maybe I'm just in love when you wake..me..up"

*a few days later*
Ed has been staying at my place for the last few days. We have been joined at the hip since he asked me out, and I have received calls and texts from Katlyne, telling me I'm doing well. As if I need her to do that. She's treating our relationship like a game. The only time I leave Ed is to go out and get myself some blood. I have been feeling slightly sick in the mornings and slightly moody. But I'm blaming the Vampire and the bond transferring his feelings into me. It's possible he is in England right now...
Just as I think this, there's a heavy knock at my door. It started snowing this morning. Who would be out on here in the snow?...I start thinking about running upstairs to grab Ed and run. In case it's the vampire but I don't think a monster merely metres away from his meal would knock on the door. I slowly approach and open the door to see Jeremy Clarkson standing there. A huge smile appears on my face.
"UNCLE JEREMY!" I yell.
"DONT YELL INSIDE!" He says. We laugh and he gives me a hug.
"Move over Jeremy!" I hear from behind him. Richard Hammond pops out from behind him. The man is so short it's no wonder I didn't see him.
"lil rich!" I say and hug him.
"Lil sky!" He says back.
"Let me guess, James may is sitting in the car." I laugh.
"Actually he's still back at the studio a bit angry cause we didn't invite him to come." I let them in and make them some tea.
"What are you guys doing here?" I ask.
"Thought we would come visit my favourite niece" Jeremy replies.
"She's your only niece Jeremy" I roll my eyes as they bicker, just as Ed comes down stairs, his hair a mess, without a shirt on. I mentally face palm.
"Oh...we have company.." He says dumbstruck. The looks exchanged between Richard and Jeremy are hysterical as the stare at the state of Ed Sheeran standing in my kitchen.
"Yeah...sorry I was just about to come up and wake you." I say. Jeremy stands up, his tall figure towering over Ed.

You can almost see Ed gulping and mentally screaming for me to help him. But I'm to busy rolling on the floor laughing as my uncle lectures him about sex. Richard looks very uncomfortable with the whole thing but not as uncomfortable as Ed.
"Uh, Jeremy, we had better get moving" Richard says.
"Thank you!!" Ed says a little too eagerly, getting a glare from my uncle.
They leave and I shut the door. Ed comes up next to me.
"That was hell." My laugh is cut short by the overwhelming feeling of nausea.
"You alright love?"
"Yeah probably just ate some bad food" he places his hand on my back and leads me upstairs.
"I will go down to the store, pick you up some painkillers okay?" I nod and call Cameron as Ed leaves. He answers the phone after 3 rings.
"Skyler?! You okay?!" He says.
"Cam....is it possible for vampires to get pregnant?"
