Toxic love

Chapter 11

Ella's pov

Today was the funeral and I didn't know what to wear. I don't have anything black. I wasn't even prepared. I can't believe my mom died yesterday in front of my eyes. I found a black dress in Monica's closet so I just took it. Monica wouldn't mind anyway. Suddenly Zach came in without even knocking.

"AHHHHH! What the hell Zach? I'm changing."

"You don't have to. It got canceled." He said not caring at all.

"What? No, it can't be. It's my mom's funeral." I was very disappointed.

"Why did it get canceled?"

"Because the vampires are here and they're killing every human alive." He said bored.

"Zach it's my mother's funeral we're talking about."

"You can't go." He shouted. I looked at him shocked. "I won't ever forgive myself if you died." He said softly and his voice cracked at the end.

"Zach I-I....." I didn't even finish my sentence but he disappeard. Many questions were in my mind right now. Why would Zach say that? And where is Ethan? Why isn't he the one telling me that the funeral got canceled? I was very stressed. I went downstairs and there he was. Ethan. He was talking with Lauren.....weird? We packed our things and went to my mother's graveyard. We bought flowers of course but we didn't arrange a funeral. It wasn't really one. As I went to put the flowers I whispered: " Goodbye mom but not forever, I know I'll see you again one day." I wiped a tear that fell down my cheek. I couldn't hold it. Ethan was comforting me all the way home.

"We need a spell that can protect us from Alanus' vampires." Ethan said.

"I'm afraid there isn't." Violet told him. "But I can try and figure something out. But it'll take time maybe a day who knows." Monica went with her to help her with the spell. I just sat by the lake and threw some rocks in the water. Skylar then came and sat next to me.

"Lauren is still not over Zach."

"Hmmm." I was too busy thinking. She went on and on but I wasn't listening. After a while she went away and I was sitting all alone. I miss mom and dad and the old times. If I could just turn back time. I wish I could but then I wouldn't have met Ethan. I opened the note my mom left me I was trying to figure out what she wrote on the back means.

I saw mom. She was with.....dad? They were smiling at me. What's happening? Where am I? Wait mom was worried I could see it in her eyes. "What's wrong mom?" No answer. "Mom?" I said a bit louder. Again no answer. What's wrong I don't understand anything. And suddenly I was awake gasping for air. I wasn't by the lake anymore. I was in my bed and Zach was sitting on a chair next to the bed.

"W-What happened? How did I get here?"

"You blacked out and I found you so I got you here." He said. "I found this on the ground next to you, but don't worry your secret is safe." He said holding the note my mom left me. I just smiled at him and took the note. I followed his gaze down and I realized he was holding my hand. Suddenly Ethan came in so I immediately pulled my hand away but Ethan saw. I could tell he was hurt. He came and sat next to me on the bed. He kept whispering sweet things in my ear until I slowly fell asleep. I felt like I couldn't breath. I immediately woke up. I had a nightmare again. It was dark and no one was in the room. I guess everyone's sleeping and Monica probably slept in Skylar's room. I was wide awake . Suddenly someone came from the window. I couldn't recognize the person. I gathered all my courage and said : "Who's there?" No answer but I could hear the person crying. I turned the lights on and in front of me was Zach.

"Z-Zach? What are you doing here in the middle of the night? And....why are you crying?" I asked.

"I-It's nothing. I just wanted to make sure you're ok." He said while wiping away his tears.

"Are you sure?" That was really weird. I never saw Zach crying. He doesn't look like the innocent guy that can actually cry. He shook his head no so that means he's not ok. I went to hug him but he took a step back.

"Just leave me alone!" He said and left from the window. What's wrong with him? Well I'm sorry I just wanted to help. I dropped my phone accidentally and as I kneeled down to get it I found a paper under my bed. It was a letter.
Ella....for you,
do you know this feeling like nothing could possibly go the way you wanted? You look outside and feel that there's no way the world's going to change? Like you felt happy once but you can't feel it again? You try hard to get past the emptiness that you feel within your soul but know that nothing is ever going to be the same. You hate knowing that the one person so special to you doesn't feel even a fraction of the emotions that seep from you. Do you know that feeling? I wish you do cause I feel it everyday and i have to deal with it. I feel lonely and scared. I love you Ella. Do you.....love me back? -unknown.

Oh my god who could have sent me this letter? If it's Ethan I'll kill him cause he made me cry for nothing. He knows I love him back and yes I was tearing up right now. I never threw the letter away. I hid it. I kept it with me. But whoever it was how does he know my name? Do I have another...........stalker?
