Chapter Sixteen

~Aiden~

I woke up to the alarm going off. Shit I have school. I look down and Declan is still laying on my chest. I smiled at him and he smiled back. “Good morning Beautiful.” I said. He started to blush. “Aiden Time to...” My mom started to say when she walked into my room and saw me and Declan. “Mom… I... We…” I tried to figure out what to say. She laughs. “I don’t want to know. But I like this.” She smiles at us and walked out. Declan and I looked at each other and laughed. “Do you need to borrow any clothes or?” I asked. “No it’s fine. I will just run home and see you at school?” He asked me. I smiled and kissed him. “Bye.” I said and he ran off. I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I wonder what Lyla and Shaylee think of me now. I would so understand if they were mad because I never told them. I should have. They told me everything. I told them everything except for this…. I mean I should have but I was scared too. Considering I killed a girl because of what I am, I would be scared. I grabbed my breakfast and went out the door. I unlocked my truck and someone grabbed my arm. I turned around to see who it was. It was a little girl covered in blood. She looked about 11 years old. “Oh my god sweetie, are you ok?” I asked her. She started to cry. “Someone is chasing me. And I can’t get away.” She cried out. She had cuts on her arms and legs. She was just like me. The same person was chasing her, as they was chasing me. I looked around to see if someone was walking or staring. No one at all. “Was it a guy with a black hoodie?” I asked her. She nodded nervously. “The same guy was after me also.” I informed her. “You are just like me then?” She asked looking up at me. I looked down at her. I nodded. “Let’s get you inside and you can call your parents.” I gestured. “He…. He… He killed my parents.” She cried more. I took her hand and walked her inside. “Mom, dad… We have a problem.” I shouted. They came running to me. “Oh my god!” My mom said running to the little girl. “Who hurt you honey?” Dad asked her. “A guy in a black hoodie. He… He killed my parents. I ran as fast as I could.” She informed my parents. My parents looked up at me. “Go to school.” Mom and dad demanded. I nodded and left for school. Who is this guy in a black hoodie? I never see his face before. Neither did that little girl. We all knew it was a guy because of the body posture. It was so obvious. Whatever he wants, it was to kill us. Us succubus’s. But why? Succubus’s hunters haven’t been around for years. Why must they come back now? It makes no sense. I never killed someone unless they deserved it. Well my first kiss was the only time. I still feel bad for that and I think I always will. I pulled into the school parking lot and parked it in my usual parking spot. It was right by Lyla’s car. I grabbed my bag from the passenger seat and headed towards the inside. “Watch out!” Someone shouted at me. I heard something flying at me from the front lawn. I turned around and grabbed it. It was a lacrosse ball. “Sorry Aiden!” Ryan yelled. Ryan was the one of the sucky players on the team. He can be good if he tried. But not anymore. “It’s cool.” I smiled and threw the ball back. I walked through the side walk, before I entered the school Lyla stopped me. “Hey there sexy.” Lyla smiled. “Hey.” I smiled back. I was nervous as if she hated me. “What is with the scared look?” She asked. I have a scared look? I do not have a look. Do I? I shrugged my shoulders. “I am not mad at you. I was upset that you never told me. But I am not mad at you.” Lyla Explained as we walked inside. “Yeah, we are not mad. Just upset.” Shaylee smiled at me and walked off. She was in a hurry for something. Shaylee was only with us for a sec, then boom. She was gone in a flash. “Aiden! My man!” Chris said walking over to me. Chris and I have been close friends ever since 8th grade. We used to play lacrosse together until he got hurt and couldn’t play anymore. “Hey what’s up?” I asked. “So there is this rumor going around about you and new boy Declan….. Are you guys a thing?” He asked me. I froze. Oh god, I tried to keep this a secret. How is there a rumor? I freaked and said, “No. Why would you think of that?” I said with a disgusted look. “Good, because that is disgusting. Plus, you know all the girls I have been with.” I laughed. I turned around from my locker and seen Declan. He shook his head and turned back around. Shit. I really like Declan… I am just too afraid to come out. I mean it was a lie about all the girls I have been with. I have only slept with two of them, and to be honest, I wasn’t that interested. “Are you ok?” Chris asked. “What? Yeah. Let’s go.” I smiled and shut my locker. I walked into my first class. I needed to talk to Declan so badly. I am in love with him. I am just… Whatever. I stared at the window and went into a day dream until my phone vibrated. I looked at the message and it was from Declan. “Meet me in the bathroom.” I put my phone back in my pocket and walked up to the teacher. “Do you mind if I use the restroom? It is an emergency.” I asked. She nodded and I walked out of the classroom. I kind of already knew what he wanted to talk about. I am just preparing myself of the arguing. I walked into the bathroom and he was leaning on the sink. He turned to me and turned away. “Lock the door.” He demanded. I locked the door as he asked. “What is with us? I don’t know where we stand. I heard what you said to Chris.” He pointed out. I chest began to tighten. I really want to be with him. “I guess I have my answer then.” Declan said and walked towards the door. “Dec, I am just…” I started to say then I froze. “Just what Aiden?” He asked me and crossed his arms. I couldn’t say anything. I just stood there like an idiot. “I want someone who knows what they want. You, you don’t know what you want. And I am guessing you don’t want me either.” He said and ran out. Tears start to fall from my eyes. “I love you Declan.” I whispered. I went into the stall and cried. I want to be with him, I really do. I was just to inconsiderate. I just hurt Declan badly. Now I don’t think I will ever be able to be with him. Not after this. Unless I come out. But… I am not sure I am quite ready for that yet. But if I don’t act soon, he can be gone in a instant. Literally.
