The Love and Pain Of Being a Vampyre

I get up, put on a simple pair of converse. Close my eyes and think about her one last time before heading downstairs to grab my bag and head out the door. I think about my mother. She was killed on Oregon when I was 15 now I am 17. My biological father took off before I was born. So I never knew him. My mother tried to hide him from me. Made him out to be the good guy, but i knew better.

I look out my window to see him standing there up at me, giving me a grin that would make my heart skip a beat if I had one, but I do not. I am bound to live forever with my one true love, my one true soul mate... Stefan Mason.

I walk out the door, looking at him. I think How am I gonna get through this day, but only I do not say it out loud. But by the look on my face he can tell what I am thinking. He says to me "you will be fine you have every class with me, I am gonna be there, do not worry." He assures me.

We pull up to the school. I look around, the school campus. And I can tell by the looks on freshman’s faces that they are thinking where did they come from? Who are they? Why are they here? The same thoughts I have been getting for the last four months, since my becoming a vampire. I just ignore them, and get out of the car and wait for him. He grabs my hand in his and we head off to the school building doors.

I walk in the building and ask Stefan "where is my locker?" He smiles and says follow me. He leads me to a block of lockers in the back of the school building. And I doubt it is a coincidence but his locker is right next to mine. He smiles, and said "I told you I am gonna be there until you are strong enough to be there without any help."

    Before I can blink, the bell rings... I sulk and walk to my locker. Stefan says "no big deal, just about one hundred eighty days to go." But by the look on his face, I can tell he is laughing to himself inside. I just roll my eyes and walk to my locker. I try to open it, but no luck. He walks over that grin on his face that I love. I say "what did you do?"

   He just looks at me, like he is surprised and replies “Jordan, I did nothing." I laugh, and roll my eyes, knowing this where I want to be for the rest of my life, and I will be. He looks at me and asks what I am thinking about. I say "this, us, you, me, this new life. I want this, I really do, this is what I want my life to be like, and I don't want it to ever change. Ever. I love you, Stefan Mason, forever and always."

     Stefan looks at me, smiles, and grabs me and pulls me close. He whispers in my ear "it's like you read my mind. But you forgot; we do have forever, and forever." I can’t help but smile at the thought of that. When the bell rings, Stefan groans. I am sorry; you do not have to be here with me. I can handle myself. I say. But I just cannot make myself believe what I told Stefan.

   "Now let's get to class, before we are tardy. You know how Mr. Brady can be, when we are tardy." Stefan says, as I finish putting my things in my locker; still lightly sulking, but happy to here with Stefan. He grabs my hand and pulls me close to him, he has that smile on his face he knows that I love, and lightly kisses me.

    I hear a final bell ring, great way to start the year; with a tardy. It did not matter either way; Stefan could just make the secretary forget our existence if I asked, but no. I want to go to school, I want to be normal. We begin to walk to class, hands in each other’s, smile on both of our faces.  I hear the voice calling me again; it has been calling to me for a month, ever since I have come to my home. I try to ignore it but, it is giving me a headache. Stefan can tell that someone is wrong. But I smile, I know I will have to tell him sooner or later, but it does not matter. Right now, I will just go to school.

    I couldn’t help but smile, the people in my “class” were staring. I laughed at the thought Stefan was tellingme.  I knew it was against the rules to talk, but technically were not talking. He showing me his thoughts, and I was showing him mine. It was basically talking with our minds. I had no idea what to call it, but it was easy to keep in touch during classes. It’s called telepathy, you know. I gave him a questioning look, I was confused.

What we are doing. The way we are talking, it’s called Telepathy. He smiled; I couldn’t help but smile back. It was cute, he was being smart. I loved it when he was being smart. I felt him smile in my mind. He was looking at my thought, at this moment even. That’s a violation of privacy, ya know. I can feel you Stefan. I know you are reading this thought; only because I am letting you.  I felt him pull out of my mind; I did not mean to irritate him, or whatever I did.

   I heard a bell ring, disturbing my thought. Before I could look up, Stefan was at my desk, he did look irritated. I felt bad, he was being so nice, going to school again, but he did not have to be here. I had no clue what to do. I knew he was trying to hide his irritation, but I knew him better than that.  I grabbed his hand, and walked down the hall. Before I could reach for my pocket, he told me “we have advanced chemistry.” I groaned any type of science was not my favorite thing to do. It annoyed me, I liked any other subject, just science, or biology, or chemistry.

    I looked up at Stefan; he had his smile that would make my heart skip a beat on, again. I knew what he was thinking; he was sharing his thought with me. He was thinking we don’t have to go; we could leave, if you wanted to. I know you don’t like science, so do you want to leave? Because I have heard of this teacher, and he does not sound any type of fun at all.  I smiled. I did want to leave, so we decided to leave, I did feel a little bit guilty, oh well. It was my first day of school, and I was skipping. What can they do? I am a vampyre, and I needed to get out of school.

    In the next twenty minutes me and Stefan were pulling into his driveway of his way to large house, it was more like a mansion to me. My mother never could afford the best house, but no matter what happened I was happy; as long as I was with my mother. But now I found a new happiness; with Stefan.
