Eat Me Up

Chapter 34

My heart is beating rabid, as my body bolt up in shock. I breathe in like its my first breath. When I first open my eyes, everything looked blurry. I blinked few times to adjust my sight and as I did. I came in sight with a strange place. My first thought should be where I was but then I remember.. I should be dead. I shouldn't have any feelings. I should be straight dead.

I stand up so my legs are on the edge of the table and thats, when I catch Claire lying on the floor. She's wounded, I remove myself from the table completely and rush to check on her. Her pulse is still beating. Thank God. I decide to find some water for her when suddenly something catch my eyes. I look at the sleepy figure on the wall and freeze.

He bought me back. How? That shouldn't be possible? I look at both their sleepy form and get scared. If they work together then I need to run. This means that they have something in store for me. They want to use me for something. I don't know why but one thing I know is that it won't happen.

I walk to the door however I abruptly stop. I was so lost and afraid, that I forgot what happen when I died. My hand automatically place itself on my stomach. Nothing, I can't feel him, tears forms on my eyes as my heart breaks once again. It worked.

I try to walk but my legs are so weak that they give up. I fall on the ground, hitting the hard floor. I should be running but being back from the dead and then feel the same feeling all again. The anger, sadness, pain and coldness is bringing all mix feelings.

I'm so stupid. I shouldn't had him kill me. When will I understand that they won't let me die. I'm so goddamn naive. How can I Diane make two vampire make me left in peace. The afterlife made this life look like hell.

I hear a soft voice behind me say "Diane". I don't need to turn around to see who it is because I would know even with a whisper who it belonged to.

I stand up and walk away. He's too weak to run after me and that's why I shouldn't be here and stay weak. This a opportunity for me to get away, maybe it may be not long before he finds me but at least I get some time for myself to readjust my lost. Close the open wounds.

Small tears still spills as I walk into the car. The car key was still inside the ignition switch. I turned it and the car started. I drove the car out of the drive away.

My eyes was fixed on the road, I could feel the pain still inside me but I had to stay strong.

I need to change. Therefor I need the person who can make it happen.

I write the destination on the GPS and follow it to the end.

I stood at my final destination. Ready to go inside to meet him after years apart.

I'm ready to knock the door, I don't get the chance when somebody catch to me first.

I see his face for the first time in 8 years. He looks so different and better.

"Diane.." he says and look at me like I'm a ghost. I was one 1 hour ago it's not a surprise. I look at him not knowing what to say until he wrap his arms around me to hug.

"I missed you" he say and I relax, knowing that he isn't mad at me anymore.

"I missed you too, Jake" I say and hug him back.

He lets go and welcome me inside. I hear close the door as I look at the amazing house of his.

"I don't want to be straight forward but why is it that you are after all this years. Dad told you to stay away from you"

I tensed at his words. My brother, I know I told that I was a only child but that was only the half true. Jake isn't suppose to exist and which my Dad took care of. The reason why is because Jake did something unforgivable when we were young. Something that made Dad furious to, make his only son, the oldest one to be a complete ghost. There isn't any records of him being related to me and you can't find him in the system either. There wasn't any day where I prayed that he would come back and dad forgave him.

"Are you in trouble" Jake asks me. I get out of my daze and look at him. He have grown so much... his baby blue eyes was perfect with his dark hair. His tall figure with broad shoulder was so intense. It makes me happy that he didn't get affected by the way Dad handled him. I always saw him the strongest of us both. Which why he's the one who's gonna help me.

"I need your help, Jake" I look at him like I always did when I needed it.

I see him tense as he looks away from me. He knew what I meant and knew the aftermath of it. This wouldn't be easy to convince.

"Jake, I need it. You have to understand that I wouldn't ask for it, if it wasn't serious" I plead "I know you have it in here so please give me it"

"I'm not gonna give you the stuff, Diane. You should know by now that I'm not the same boy I was before. You're my only sister and losing you would break me. No I won't give it to you" he looks at me with painful eyes and walk over to the foyer.

"You owe me Jake" I scoff.

He turns around to look at me. I see the anger clearly on him. His hand is turned to fist, and I know I need to prepare myself for what's comes next.

"I owe you" he hiss "Its been eight years Diane. And all the time, where the hell where you. You may be my little sister but you don't act like one. Now you come back to get drugs that almost killed you"

"It's not drugs, something happen to me that day. I can't explain it but at the time, I didn't know what it was but now I understand what happen" I explain. This was my only chance to fix all of this and all I needed was my big brother to solve it. All I can think of is how bad of a sister I am to him. I look down, disappointed in myself for even asking for anything when I should be listening to him.

"I want to understand Diane. I really do but this isn't when we were small kids. We are young adults. This isn't for discussing. I will drive you back home" he say and walks over to me. I wanna scream at him to listen. I want to tell him everything but I don't. He would think I was crazy.

"I really fought I could count on you Jake... but I was wrong" I turn around before he gets to grab me and get inside the car.

I hear him say "Don't drive in this state" but I was well aware that William was coming for me and I had already been here longer than I should.

I drive full speed. Leaving him behind, I look at the side mirror and see something that make my heart stop.

No, it can't be.
