I'm Not Like Them // l.t. editing

Chapter 4

                Harry lifted his eyebrow at me, obviously going to bring up the subject later.

                “So you know her?” Zayn asked scratching the back of his neck awkwardly

“Yeah we met her once before when Liam hurt his arm. She was the nurse I got… I think some of us know her better than others though-“

                I smacked Harry hard on his back. “Yeah I think Niall and her are friends.”

Zayn’s eyebrows pushed together, “That’s funny, Niall’s never mentioned her before…”

                “Well you should go ask him, I have to go, umm, use the loo!” I said starting to walk away.

Harry mouthed something to me before I left but I had no idea what he said. He probably wants to know why I was ‘lying’ to Zayn.

                “She’s going to be here in less than 10 minutes, so don’t take too long!” Zayn turned around yelling, and then went back to walking towards Niall and Liam.

                I pushed open the stadium doors, rushing to find the bathroom. After a few minutes of searching I found it. I literally slammed open the empty bathroom door and rushed to the sink. Thick drops of sweat dripped down my face, falling onto the dirty bathroom sink. It wasn’t just sweat though, it was tears. Zayn was dating the girl I loved.

                I took my shades off and looked at myself in the mirror, I looked exhausted. Dark rolls stood out from under my eyes and lines were starting to form above my eyebrows. No, vampires don’t sleep. So why am I tired you might wonder? Well that’s because I have a vampire hunter watching me 24/7 and trying to kill me. Lilly hasn’t actually tried to attack yet, but she’s been playing with my mind. Last week she told me that I blacked out and killed Harry because I became too hungry. The sad thing was that I actually believed her. She’s also been hiding my blue contacts, so there’s no way to hide my red eyes. Luckily I have over 30 pairs of shades to hide my eyes (which I’m sure she will break when I’m not looking).

                I turned the faucet on and splashed the water on my face. I looked back into the mirror, noticing another person in front the stall behind me.

                “You’re scared aren’t you?” She asked, crossing her arms as she leaned against the stall door.

“Who wouldn’t be? A vampire hunter is dating one of my best friends, who just happens to also be my band mate”

                Lilly frowned, “But aren’t you afraid that I will hurt you?”

I smiled resting my head in my hands, “Not really. I’ve dealt with people like you before. They’re here for a few days, then they’re just gone. But it’s kind of nice though, to have someone who actually knows about you so you don’t have to hide who you are from them”

                Lilly’s hands dropped to her hips, “What do you mean they’re just ‘gone’?” Her voice shook as she spoke, probably already knowing the answer.

                I turned around and smiled at her, not showing my teeth but instead my dark red eyes sparkled. “You know what I mean”, I said a bit too happy, sending chills down her spine.

                Lilly’s hands tightened into fists at my words. “You really do have no soul”, she hissed.

I frowned, “Darling, I didn’t drink they’re blood. I just simply defended myself, but I've never actually ever killed one of your kind.”
