“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.”
"I feel so alive" Kim said staring around the school.
"Damn, even school looks fun"
I smiled. I remember when I was barely turned I thought the world seemed more beautiful. Now nature seems to be the only real beauty.
"Let’s go." I said making her follow me. She was attracting attention.
She followed silently. "We’re leaving tomorrow night. But this is our last day at school." I said telling her my plan. "Go home today and pack lightly, only something you can easily carry. And the necessities"
She smiled. "Where are we going?" she asked.
"I was thinking Hawaii." I said.
I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii, and I thought it would be a good place to go after being changed.
"I have somewhere I need to go after school, pack your things and go to my house no later than six" I said smiling.
"Have a good day" I told her, walking away and going to Mr. Night’s class.
The bell had already rung and I was late so I felt like going to check up on him.
I passed by and noticed a sub. I reached my hand in my pocket and ran out of school. When I was a couple blocks away I stopped and closed my eyes. Being soul mates has its benefits. I can tell where he is, whenever I try.
I closed my eyes and listened out for his heartbeat. Once I heard it I started walking towards the noise.
I opened my eyes once it was loud enough, I was standing in front of a huge apartment building. I opened the door and stepped in. no one was in the lobby so I went into the elevator. I pressed every single floor, but there were only ten, and every time the door opened I listened for his heartbeat.
Once I reached the fifth floor I heard his heart beating very loud, I got off the elevator and walked to a door. Room 106.
I knocked on the door, a young woman opened the door. She was short and petite, with blue grey eyes and beautiful dark, brown hair.
"Hello" she said. I could see the curiosity in her eyes.
"Hi, is joseph home?" I asked, knowing that he was.
She smiled "and who are you?" she said eyeing me.
I smiled, "I’m Emma"
Her eyes widened. "Oh where are my manners, please come in."
I smiled and walked in.
"Let me ask him if he will see you." she said walking into a mini hall way.
I looked around his apartment. Everything was simple, not like a woman’s home. Everything was black, white, or grey. Color coordination. He had a giant flat screen TV on the wall. And a small glass table in the middle of the living room. I was sitting on a black couch, pleather. And there was a smaller, identical couch against the wall, vertical from the one I was sitting on.
I started to hear footsteps so I stayed still in my seat.
She had a sad expression. "He said he doesn’t want to see you." she said sadly.
I nodded silently, I expected this.
"Do you know what happened to him?" I asked with high hopes.
She nodded and silently began speaking.
"About a week ago he went out. To meet you." she said sitting down on the couch. "When he came back he was mugged. Someone beat him up, right outside this apartment building. He was in critical condition for a couple days, he was released from the hospital yesterday."
She said sadness in her voice...
My eyes widened. My soul mate has been in pain this whole time, but then again if he was in a coma, critical condition his body wouldn’t of felt anything, that’s why I didn’t feel anything... but...
"Do you know who did this?" I asked, hoping that I wouldn’t have to murder someone......
"No, I do not." she said quietly, "I think he knows, but he won’t tell anyone."
I nodded in understanding, "but he’s fine right. He going to be ok" I said hoping, and expecting him to be.
She stayed quiet, she didn’t say anything, and she just continued to look down at the rug.
I started crying at that part, I ran into the minie hallway and to where I thought Mr. Night would be.
Mr. Night was lying on a bed.
I could feel the tears well up. "Mr. Night" I said looking at his bruised up body. His lip was scared as well as the rest of his face. It looked like he was near death. But this wasn’t something a person would randomly do, someone, and I think I know who, had to plan this.
"Who did this?!" I yelled. Tears rolling down my face. I couldn’t even stop them anymore. I felt guilty. I should have protected him. I should have been there for him.
He looked at me, he seemed embarrassed. He didn’t want me to see him this way.
I got on my knees next to the bed. I placed my hands on the bed and continued to cry.
"Who did this... Joseph?" I asked, using his name.
He seemed to freeze for a second, but then I felt his hand run through my hair.
"I’m sorry" he said chuckling, and then wincing due to the pain.
I looked up at him, grateful that I didn’t do my makeup. I would be a mess.
"For what?" I asked.
He smiled, but I could tell he was in pain. "I made you worry, that’s the last thing I want to do."
I chuckled, "its fine. All this time I thought you hated me." I said chuckling.
He froze his face expressionless. "I could never hate you Emma. I love you way too much."
I stopped crying, but the tears were threatening to come out again.
"Even if I’m the reason Edward beat you up" I said looking into his eyes.
He looked shocked. But his eyes softened up.
"But he didn’t kill me, isn’t that what matters" he said trying to make me happy, even if only a little.
"I’m going to kill him" I said in a completely serious tone.
"Emma, nothing that bad happened, I’m alive." he said with a crooked smile.
"He didn’t kill you because he knew I would sense It." and the anger I was feeling that night because of him is what blocked out my instincts to protect my soul mate. I am seriously going to kill him.
"Calm down" Mr. Night said placing his hand on top of mine. But I noticed when he winced.
I left his room and got a cup, within seconds I was in his room.
His eyes widened momentarily.
"Does blood disgust you?" I asked, thinking of many people's fear of blood.
"No why-" he stopped talking once he saw me cut my wrist with my own nail. The blood came pouring out, and into the cup.
When the cup was nearly filled I stopped. My wound closed within seconds.
I handed it to him. He eyed the cup suspiciously.
"Drink it. It’ll make you feel better" I said with a smile.
"I trust you" he said before drinking the whole entire cup.
When he was done I noticed some of his cuts bruises begin to heal.
He smiled and seemed satisfied.
"My body doesn’t ache" he stated, amused.
I chuckled and nodded.
He smiled "wow that works better than my medication." he said happily.
I chuckled and crawled onto his bed and next to him.
"I’m leaving town" I said quietly.
He frowned, "when?" he asked with concern.
"Tomorrow." I said unsure of the choice. Do I still want to leave knowing he wants to be with me?
We were quiet for a couple of seconds. I had no idea what to do.
"I’m going with you" he said after a couple of minutes.
I shook my head. "You have a life here, a family. Leaving with me wouldn’t be wise." I said standing up.
"But I love you, and that’s a good enough reason for me to want to leave with you." he said with a determined look.
"I’m sorry, I can’t let you ruin your life" I said walking out of his room, but I placed the necklace on his night stand. I took one last look and him and left. Running home.
The whole way wondering, 'does he love me enough to come after me?'
