"Tell them I'd pluck a tooth if that got to my ears." I heard Keith say and I bit my lower lip, embarrassed at the way my body was reacting to what I heard.Is this what love feels like? It's so energetic than the feeling of when I was crushing on him.I feel so special, so energized.I blinked my eyes repeatedly still hearing Keith and Billy's conversation.Keith needs to practice the word. 'Kindness.'Why does he seem to be giving attitude to Billy? Even though he wasn't directly showing it.I could tell with his voice and each reply he gave Billy. Right now, I think I need to wake up and acknowledge Billy else Keith might just continue to be ruder to his friend.Even though Billy had caused me to cry, that didn't change him being a good person..if I can remember, Keith was the one who always made me aware that I needed to cry.I feigned a yawn, tossing to the other side of the bed where Keith had laid and I pretended to be looking for him with my hand."You're awake?" Billy was the

"Join me here," Matthew suggested patting the side of the bed he was lying on and I smirked pinching his cheeks."You don't want your parents seeing us in that position. They will freak out." I say and he feigns a frown."I don't think they would even come visit. So you don't need to worry." He said. "Besides you must be tired, heard you had stayed by my side throughout last night." Matthew chipped in, his eyes dancing from its socket as if he was being shy by the thought that I had been with him all through the night."Hmm, if you insist," I gave in. I rose on my feet and I walked over to the other side of the bed, I dropped the plate that we had both eaten from on the desk before joining him on the bed.Okay, this is weird but no matter how weird it is, it seemed right.I've longed to protect him like this, be with him, and spend more than the days George had claimed he had left.No nurses might come in for the next three to four hours since he has already taken his drugs and I am h

Slowly and steadily, I opened my eyes and the brightness of the sun was what made me shut them back.Ah, my chest... I groaned silently as I opened my eyes again."Matthew..." Ruth called standing beside me."Ah..." I groaned again."Are you okay?" She asks with a worried look and I slowly nod blinking before remembering how I had ended up in this state.The words from my mother and father still rang heavily in my brain, I'm sure I can't get what they said to me out of my head yet.I should understand them, I had told myself when my mum slapped me thinking I'd change my word but I had repeated I was gay, and there was nothing they could do about it.And Keith? He had visited our home.Did he see me crying? Did he know when I fainted?I glanced at Leah who returned with George in his doctor's coat."How are you, Matt," George asked as he got closer to me."I'm awake at least," I replied with a small smile.He checked on me with his stethoscope and then checked if I was having a fever.

The next morning...I was still in Matthew's ward, staring at him.After rushing him down to the hospital where he was admitted, I couldn't even feel myself anymore.Each event that was happening to him seemed to be a second-season scenario of what had happened with my mother...I had maintained my composure as he was pushed on the cot to the ward and we had been asked to remain outside."God please, this is not happening." Mrs. Harry had wailed while Ruth was still the one coaxing her.I had stood at the front of Matthew's ward, clenching my fist on my jeans, I know Mathew has heart disease, he has told me. But what if this disease is more than what I thought?I still remember Ruth mentioning death and just the thought of it with Matthew had my heart pounding fast...Christ! Nothing should happen to my Mathew.A tear slid out of my eyes without Matthew's family knowing, and I quickly wiped my face when the familiar doctor, whom I guessed to be George since I'd seen him once or twice

"Again, y'all tried, I hope we get one more score from them in the second half." The coach said, then he walked away from the dressing room.I downed the rest of the water in the bottle as I breathed out a sigh taking my phone to text Matthew but instead, a call came in.As I glanced at it, it was an unknown number. With hesitation, I rejected the call scrolling over to the text message to chat with Matthew who must have left me a message since I hadn't checked my phone since when we arrived, and the second half was starting in a few minutes.The call came in again and I sighed, it must be one of those girls who usually get my number from my friends.I guess it's high time I told them not to give any female my number again since I've found a partner.As I swiped the answer Icon, I said. "Whatever it is, I'm not interested, click on the red button before I do." As I brought the phone to hang up the voice stopped me."Wait. This is Ruth, Matthew's sister." I recognized her at once."Hey

It was yet another day.I was seated in the front rows of the church as usual while the reverend preached.My dad was busy with other church activities with some other Deacon, and my mother and sisters were seated beside me.Keith didn't come to church today, he had told me about the school match which was later postponed to today. Even though his dad wanted him to attend church and skip the match, his coach had done well in convincing Mr. Schuler.Once I get home, I should give him a call, because right now... I swear with the cross of Jesus Christ at my front that I'm already missing him.And he had even kissed me in his car after we had gotten interrupted by the little kid.Gosh! I'm feeling hot already."Are you okay?" Leah muttered beside me and I turned to look at her with a slight nod before looking back at the reverend who would soon round off his preaching.Calling Keith should even be the last thing I should be worrying about... I'm telling my family that I'm gay, and I have

'I can do this!"I hyped myself up as I approached the man. "Hey, mister!" I called and stopped on my tracks just when he turned to me.He looked too drunk for me to offer him the deal, would he even understand what I was about to say?"You okay?" I asked, lowering my head as though that would give me a clear view of his face."What do you want?" He asked in a somewhat high-pitched voice."Well, I... I thought I could help you."Shit! Even a deaf person would know how stupid I sounded The man chuckled, his voice slurring. "Do I seem helpless to you?""No, no... I don't mean that I mean..." I exhaled when he fired me a glare and turned to leave.If I fuck this up, I swear Ronan was going to mock me and Killian—I turned to him, and his gaze met with mine, he nudged his head as though asking me to follow the man while he just stood there, like an exclusive model. I blame myself for being his advocate.I hurried to the man blocking his path. "I didn't mean it the wrong way, actually, sir

A small groan escaped my lips as I opened my eyes.Where the fuck am I? I squinted my eyes. Shit! It was night already and—wait... Am I still in the car?I was wide awake already. I looked around my surroundings, then I spotted Reid, slumped back in the reclining seat next to me.Really? He was relaxing while I had fallen unconscious?Reid breathed out almost tossing on the chair when he blinked his eyes open."You're awake." He called with a sleepy voice and a mini-yawn."Did you inform anyone about what happened?" I asked. He leaned back, stretching his neck with a groan. "Argh... It's night already." He turned to me. "I figured out you wouldn't want to let them find out.""Yet you didn't take any precautions?""You were still breathing, you should be grateful I hadn't even left you alone."I scoffed. "I wouldn't have been in this position if I hadn't helped you.""And I already repaid it by staying here and making sure everything was fine with you." He defended."Seriously? Is this

"Argh... This jerk!" My hands were tucked into my pockets as I walked past Reid, whose eyes were about to pop out of their socket. "Look who is a bully..." I said staring at the guy who was about to punch Reid, still frozen.I slapped his face.This is more reason why I wouldn't be able to understand mortal. What do they get from mistreating each other? If they had superpowers I bet they would have ended the world long ago.I turned to the other jerks behind me before looking back at Reid. "What are you doing standing there? Don't you have to teach them not to mess with you again?""I'm too weak to do anything..." He said in a whisper, he turned, and I watched him limping."Did they do that?" I asked but he didn't give a response.Was he back to being the prick he was?I walked away following Reid from behind. He entered the school, and the student who saw me suddenly started to whisper among themselves a compliment, of course.I didn't mind them as I continued to follow Reid.He ente

"Oh my days! Why would they do this to you?" Piper said, worry written all over her face."They are assholes..." I replied. "I stopped by the clinic and the nurse already gave me some medicine—what is even the use?""What do you mean you what's the use?" She snapped at me."We should pay them back someday. They can't continue to bully you!" Darren said."They aren't bullying me..." I chimed in and I continued eating. "I'd get back to them someday. And I can handle their dumb ass. I've got this." I assured. I didn't even have any plans, but I knew what to do.Alvin was always good at handling situations like this and I wouldn't fail him."Does that mean you are going to fight back? You don't solve violence with violence." Piper stated. "You should report this to the teachers, cops!" She added in and I heard Darren mutter to her that I've got this.I didn't want them to get into this, especially Piper, who was trying to have good records in college. I didn't want to ruin that. It was my

"Let me drive..." I got in the way before Ronan could enter the car."You're still a minor." He said.I scoffed. "Joke's on you, I'm twenty!""Remind me again you look seventeen." Ronan walked past me and slid into the driver's seat.Did he just insult me? I turned to him, but he had already shut the car door.I promised to be kind and respectful towards Mr. Vampire but not him. Who the hell did he think he was?I slid into the driver's passenger seat, glancing at Ronan. "You know you are starting to make me go back to disliking you.""I have seen a lot of it... Vampires are hated, so I don't care.""Yeah, not as hated as demons.""That explains it." He chimed in.I swear I need to speak with Mr. Vampire to just allow me to drive myself to school.He brought the car's engine to life and sped out of the compound.Sometimes I do wonder where the hell this place was located. It didn't look like the normal city I used to see—and there was no way it was located outside of the state."I hea

"Come in," I said, my gaze fixated on the door.The door creaked open and I watched Reid walk into my office with a mug of coffee."I asked Ronan to bring that." I lied. I had asked to meet Ronan to let Reid bring that to me instead."He asked me to bring it for you because he had something to do..." Reid stopped on his track with a confused look. "Should I take it back? And ask him to bring it?""What?" I raised an eyebrow. Would he really do that? "It's fine..." I whispered.Reid nodded a little as he got closer, placing the coffee before me on the desk."How are you feeling now?" He asked.I took the mug, bringing it closer to my lips, and I took a sip from it before casting a look at him.He has always been inquiring about how I was doing from Emilia and Ronan who wouldn't hesitate to ask me that—when have they ever bothered about my business? But then Reid had put them up to the task, since for the past three days we really haven't met with each other, and now he was asking by hi
