It was a dark cold stormy night when I was walking home from my grandmother's. My hands were shaking because of how cold they were. Then I saw this guy that I never met before. He had dark brown hair that was slicked back, but he had this one strand of hair that wasn't slicked back. He had beautiful bloody red eyes. He had a scar on his face. He wore a blue button-up shirt with the first three buttons of the shirt that weren't buttoned up. He had these nice ripped light blue jeans. I thought it looked really good on him though.

When I arrived home and went to my bedroom to open the window. Then I saw him in the backyard staring at me. When I shut the light off he was gone. I went to bed to sleep but I couldn't stop thinking about him. I thought he was really attractive. I was also wondering why he was following me.

When I went to school I saw him again but his eyes weren't red, they were light brown. I thought that was very odd. When I went to my locker he walked up to me and said that we needed to talk after school. He had this nice deep voice. When school ended I didn't get on the bus so I could talk to him like he wanted. He saw me so I went up to him and walked with him. I asked him, "Why were you following me last night?" He didn't answer. Then I asked him about his eyes. Why were they red last but light brown today? He said, "The light brown were contacts, red is my actual eye color."

Then we got to my house and I let him come inside so that we could talk some more. We went into my room, I put my backpack away and sat on my bed. I told him that he could sit down, so we sat on my bed in silence. "I might be stupid for letting a stranger in my room," I thought to myself. But curiosity got the best of me. I looked at him waiting for him to say something. I tried speaking but I guess it was no use. I looked down at my lap. "Well this is awkward," I said in my head.

I glanced over at him, seeing him taking the contacts off. "Your eyes are pretty, why hide them?" He looked a little shocked to talk but he looked at me and his mouth moved. "Some people are just scared and call me a creep, a killer, or..." he stopped and looked down at his lap. "I'm sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, I think your eyes are unique and pretty." He smiled and told me his name. "Zayn," I told him my name is Scarlette. Zayn said, "Scarlette, nice to meet you."

He gave me a warm smile and took a deep breath before he explained why he was following me all the way home and looking at my window at 11:00 at night. Zayn told me that he was a vampire. I told him I didn't care if he was a vampire. "You should care that I'm a vampire, be afraid of me," he said. I asked, "Why should I be afraid of you? Everybody is afraid of me, everywhere I go people get scared. At school, the teachers are even scared. The girls were all over me, they liked me because I'm a bad boy. They keep putting their numbers in my pockets. I wanna fuck around with them, but can't because their gonna know that I'm a vampire.

They're gonna tell everyone that's what sluts at school do, they run their mouths to everyone just to get attention to get what they want. ... " I interrupted him by chuckling. Zayn continued what he was saying, "The police will hunt me down, then try to kill me."

I asked, "Why would you tell me that you're a vampire if nobody can know?" "You're different from anyone else I've ever met, I trust you," Zayn said. I told him that I would make sure that nobody knows that he was a vampire and that I'm there for him. Zayn looked at me with a smile and then he hugged me. I enjoyed the hug. It was a romantic type of hug.

Zayn was going to leave, but I told him that he didn't have to, so he stayed. I asked Zayn why he was following me that one night again, then I finally got an answer from him. Zayn said, "Your mother is gone for a business trip and there are a lot of weird people at night so you shouldn't be all by yourself." I wanted to know how he knew that my mother was on a business trip. Zayn said that he knows things like that. I thought it was strange.

Anyways, I let him help himself around the house while I was finishing a project for school. He went into the kitchen to get me a snack. When he came back to the bedroom he helped me with my project. After we finished the project we played games and laughed for a few hours. Then we got to know each other better. It was wonderful. Then we stared into each other's eyes. Then the next thing I noticed was that he was holding me in his arms. I was really nervous. I felt that there were butterflies in my stomach. Zayn holds me tighter and pulls me closer to him then kisses me.

Zayn whispers in my ear while on my bed. that he wants to show me what he thinks about me. We start ripping each other's clothes off like animals. When I took Zayn's shirt off I saw his pecs, muscles, and abs. It was an eight-pack, and the abs were hard. He had some scars on his body. I felt a little bit more attracted to Zayn.

Then Zayn starts kissing and sucking on my neck while he has his left hand on hold of my thigh tight. The right hand is tightly grabbing on the side of the bed. Then we're sitting up. I'm on him. My arms are around his neck. I'm biting on his ear while he is holding me.

I looked at Zayn and he looked concerned. So I asked him if he was okay. He said that he was okay. I started to feel worried about him. We got dressed, and he told me that he had to leave. We got up off the bed. We hugged then kissed goodbye. He said that he would see me tomorrow at school. He left through the window.

After he left I went to bed. I couldn´t stop thinking about Zayn. The next morning when I got up from bed I heard a voice downstairs. After getting dressed for school. I went downstairs and I saw my mom. I gave her a hug and told her how much I missed her. She asked about grandma. I said that grandma was going well when I came to visit her. I told her that I would talk to her after school.

When I got to school I went to my locker to get a study book. Behind me was Tomus that sits two seats away from me in science. Tomus's hands were on my waist as I turned to ask him what he wanted. He was asking if I had any plans tonight. He invited me to a party he is going to tonight.

I saw Zayn walking towards me while Tomus was still by my locker, being flirty with me, and talking about the party. Tomus told Zayn that he could go to the party too. Zayn said that he was not going. I said that I was going, as I smiled at Zayn wanting him to go. "I guess I can check it out," Zayn said. "That's great see y'all there!" Tomus said, giving me a hug and then leaving.

I looked at Zayn, "Are you alright?" I asked. "Are we actually going to the party?" Zayn asked. "Don't you want to have fun with me?" "Yeah," Zayn answered. "I didn't like the way he was looking and touching you." "Awww you're so cute when you're jealous," I said to him, he started to turn red and felt a little embarrassed when I said that.

We were walking to class together. He asked me about last night. "I couldn't stop thinking about it!" I told him. "Me neither," he said smiling. He told me to stop and to move my hair. Zayn put a necklace on me. The necklace had my name and bright bloody red little diamonds. "This is beautiful! Why?" I asked him, looking down at the necklace. "You're very special and you're important to me. You said that you liked my eye color, so I got it, personally made for you," he said.

I looked up grinning at him. It was really sweet for him to do this for me. When I got to my history class I couldn't stop thinking about Zayn and him getting a necklace made for me. I was called to the front of the class to present my project. I started to get nervous fidgeting with the necklace. My teacher Mr. Reeves was really proud of me. I've never seen him so impressed like this before.

I told him that I helped with the project. He asked who helped me. "Zayn Astor," I said nervously. "During lunch, you bring this Zayn kid to me so we can talk." Mr. Reeves said. "Yes sir," I said.

When it was time for lunch I went up to Zayn and said that he needed to go to Mr. Reeves's class. So I took Zayn to Mr. Reeves' class. When I was about to head out of the class Mr. Reeves asked me to stay. He wanted Zayn to join advanced history. Mr. Reeves thought Zayn and I did well on the project. "What do you say?" Mr. Reeves said. Zayn said that he would join.

I got so excited when Zayn said he was going to join. Mr. Reeves was even more excited than I was. He said that every time we have to do group projects I and Zayn will work together. Zayn and I left Mr. Reeves's class and went back to the cafeteria. "I hope you enjoy the class Zayn. We get to go on a lot of field trips and learn so much!" I said to Zayn with excitement. "I knew you were smart but I didn't know you're a dork," Zayn said, smirking at me.

I asked Zayn if he could come over to my place. "Isn't your mother back from her business trip?" he asked. "Yeah, she is back from her trip. I want her to meet you though," I said. "I don't think that's a good idea Scarlette. What if she hates me because I'm not good enough for you?" Zayn said, sad mixed with a little bit of anger. "She isn't going to hate you and you're more than good enough for me. You'll be alright, just stay calm. I'll be by your side." I said to Zayn.

"You're right Scarlette everything is going to be alright," Zayn said. "Good because I already told my mom that I want her to meet you," I said. "Do I have to wear something fancy,?" Zayn said, making a joke. "No. You're walking home with me to meet her after school before we go to the party," I said proudly.

When school ended me and Zayn walked to his place before we went to mine. He wanted to put his backpack up and change for the party before going to meet my mom. When we got to his house and inside I was surprised. The house was beautiful. There was a giant gold chandelier hanging from the ceiling. I explored the house while Zayn went upstairs to his room.

I looked above the fireplace, there was a beautiful painting of a boy and his parents. Zayn walked downstairs telling me that he was ready to go. He came up to me while I was still looking at the painting. "Is this you and your parents?" I asked. "Yeah," Zayn said. "What happened to them?" I asked.

"They were very sick. We went to every doctor there to find a cure. There wasn't a doctor that could help. As I got older I tried to forget how sick my parents were. I went to parties, got high, and did drugs. I was afraid of looking at them, acting like everything was okay. I wasn't home much. When they finally died I used people. I slept with a lot of girls. I broke their hearts, but I didn't care though. I lost my friends. They thought I was crazy and that I needed help." Zayn said angrily like he was going to break something.

We left his place to go to my house and then the party. No one said anything until we got onto the porch of my house. I asked Zayn if he was alright. "Everything is alright when I'm with you," he said, smiling at me and holding my hand. I opened the door and I smelled my mom's cookies.

My mom comes out of the kitchen with a huge smile on her face looking at Zayn. "Hello you must be Zayn, I´m Carol, Scarlette's mother," she said. Zayn talked to my mother, while I went upstairs to put my backpack up and change for the party. When I got downstairs I heard my mom and Zayn laughing.

I saw Zayn holding a picture in his hands. I walked toward him and asked my mom what was funny. She said that she told Zayn something from when I was a child. I looked closely at the picture of Zayn's hands. I took it from him and then looked at my asking her why she is embarrassing me. "The picture was bad, you look good," Zayn said.

I told my mom we were leaving before we were late for the party. Zayn said bye to my mom as he was leaving the house. Before I left, "Zayn is a keeper and your father would accept him if he were here." I gave her a hug before leaving. "You two have fun!" she shouted, smiling.

We walked to the party. I thought it was going to be good for our legs. We stopped at a beautiful house with party lights and a lot of people were there as if the entire school was there. "YOU GUYS MADE IT!!!" Tomus shouted when he saw us. We walked into the house. There was loud music, people dancing, people talking, people eating snacks and drinking. The back porch was a patio. There was a giant pool in the backyard that people were in.

Zayn and I went back to the house in the living room. Then I went to the kitchen to get us a drink. When I got the drinks I saw Gina flirting with Zayn. She was touching his hair and putting her arm around him. So I went up to Zayn and Gina and I gave the drinks to Zayn.

I grabbed Gina and said "What the fuck do you think you are doing? Why are you flirting with my boyfriend when you have one?" Gina just stared at me like I was crazy or something. I let go of Gina's arm then she punched me in the face. That made me angrier than I was already. So shoved her to a wall. Gina grabbed a glass bottle that was on a table next to her, then threw it at me. I grabbed her by her hair while everyone at the party saw and recorded. I took her to her backyard and kicked her off the patio and she fell into the pool.

Everyone was laughing at her. Gina was embarrassed and yelled at everyone to get out. So everyone got out and went home. I and Zayn walked to his place, no one said a thing until we went inside the house. "Are you alright?" Zayn asked, concerned. "Yeah, someone needed to put Gina in her place," I said acting like it was no big deal. When we got to Zayn's bedroom I went to sit on his bed.

Zayn went to get some ice for my head. When he came back with the ice he saw me snooping around in his stuff. I grabbed the ice from Zayn's hand and then sat back on his bed. He sat right next to me. "How did you become a vampire?" I asked. "It was a curse. Remember when I told you the things I did while my parents were dying?" "Yeah," I said.

"I was with a lot of girls and had no feelings for any of them. I had a cold heart. One time I was walking there was an old lady who told me to follow her to the back of her store so we could talk. When we were walking to the back of the store I saw weird craft stuff. The old lady told me to sit down in a chair. She told me that I was a horrible person and that people shouldn't get hurt by me." Zayn said

"She really told you that you were a horrible person?" I asked. "Don't feel sorry for me Scarlette, I was a horrible person, I didn't care if I hurt anyone," Zayn said. "Anyway, it turns out the old lady was a witch. She threw some weird powder stuff at my face and said, "Now you can't hurt anyone any longer." "There is the story of how I became a vampire," Zayn said.

"So you can't ever be human again?" I wondered. "I don't think so, Scarlette. It's not that bad being a vampire," he said. "You're right about that. I get to have you all to myself." I said smiling at Zayn. "Yeah, you do," Zayn said leaning in for a kiss. I put one arm around Zayn's neck and the other around his shirt. Zayn has his arms around my waist tightly.

"Should you be heading home right now?" Zayn asked. "I can tell my mom that I'm at a sleepover with some friends," I said. "You're such a naughty girl," Zayn said. "I bet you like that don't you?" I said, staring into Zayn's eyes grinning at him. "You know that I like that," Zayn said, then putting one hand in my hair. I love being with Zayn. He makes me feel safe when I'm around him. When I'm away from Zayn I feel like I'm dying inside.

The next day in the morning I woke up then Zayn threw some clothes that were his for me to wear to school. The pants were pants that Zayn wore when he followed me home when it was raining. He even let me wear his favorite jacket that he wears all the time. Which means I get to see his muscles stick out of his shirt. Zayn even handed me his favorite cap that he used to wear when he was younger. He said that I could have it.

Zayn and I walked to school. When we arrived everyone was staring at me. Tomus came up to me and showed me a meme that someone made about what happened between me and Gina. Everyone went silent when Gina came up to me. "I fucking hate you Scarlette," she said very calmly which kind of scared me a little. "My father cut me off because he saw that stupid meme from the party. YOU RUINED MY LIFE!!! she yelled with tears coming down her face. She walked away from me.

When Gina walked away from me. Everyone started to talk again. "Nice new look Scarlette," Tomus said, acting as if nothing had happened before. "Thanks," I said smiling. "It's a good style and it suits you very well," Tomus said to me. Tomus asked how come Zayn wasn't wearing a jacket. "I didn't feel like wearing a jacket today," Zayn said.

Zayn grabbed my hand and asked me if I was alright. I shook my head. Zayn put his other hand on the side of my face and then kissed me on the lips. It was a very tender kiss. I smiled at Zayn afterward. I told him that I would meet him after school. Zayn said that sounds good. When the bell rang at the end of the day. I went to the football field because that is where Zayn would go sometimes after school.

Zayn wasn't wearing his shirt. I just stared at Zayn. He was with Tomus when Tomus saw me he ran towards me and gave me a big hug. Zayn came up to me and Tomus. "Are you ready to go?" Zayn asked me. "Yeah…" I paused. I asked Tomus if he wanted to join me and Zayn. He said that he would like to. So I asked Zayn if Tomus could come with us. Zayn said that he didn't have a problem with it.

"Where are we going?" Tomus asked. "Well first we are going to my house so I can get something then we'll have some fun," I said. When we got to my house I told Tomus that he could go into the kitchen and get a snack or drink. Afterward, I went to my room to get my skateboard. I went back downstairs into the living room. I looked at a photo of my dad, and I picked up the photo. Tomus came up to me and noticed that I was sad. "Your dad was a good man," Tomus said to me trying to make me feel better. Zayn came towards me and Tomus. Then Tomus and Zayn both gave me a hug. The hug made me feel much better.

All three of us left my house and we went to go get something to eat. Afterward, we went to a skate park. Zayn and Tomus asked how I did learn to skateboard. I told them that my dad taught me how when I was little. "That's pretty cool, may I borrow your skateboard?" Zayn asked with a grin on his face. I handed the skateboard to Zayn. Zayn went to the highest ramp. Tomus and I watched Zayn very carefully. Zayn went down the ramp very fast. It was really awesome. Tomus recorded the whole thing.

Zayn did really well. I thought he was going to mess up a bit but he didn't though. Tomus wanted to go next after Zayn. So Zayn handed the skateboard to Tomus so he could have a turn. Tomus handed his phone to Zayn so he could record him. Tomus didn't do bad, he needs a little bit more practice. Tomus handed me my skateboard so I can give it a try. It's been a while since I rode skateboarded. I hope that I don't mess up in front of Zayn and Tomus, I said to myself.

I went to the top of the ramp. Tomus had the phone recording me. Zayn looked at me, probably feeling concerned. I took a deep breath thinking about my dad when he first taught me how to ride a skateboard. Then I just went for it. I saw the boys smiling at me when I went down the ramp. I was proud of myself because I haven't been on a skateboard since my dad died.

Afterward, I went towards Zayn and Tomus smiling at them, they were smiling right back at me. Tomus showed me the video of all of us. I grabbed his phone and added some things to make the video better and then posted it. People were already liking the video. We left the skate park to go shopping to get some snacks. After getting snacks from the store we went to Tomus's place.

We got to Tomus's place and then went inside. I sat my skateboard on the floor. Then Zayn and I sat on the couch, while Tomus went towards the TV to get three gaming controllers. "Y'all wanna play some video games?" he asked. Zayn and I both said yes at the same time it was kind of creepy. So we played some video games. We started getting bored playing video games f

or an hour so we decided to watch a movie. It was a horror movie. I fell asleep during the movie.
