“Of, course, you’re my friend Isaac, you can ask me anything,” I said and meant it.
“Is it true about the whole soul mate thing?” He asked looking down at his shoes. He was tracing a random design in the dirt with the end of his shoe.
“Yes,” I sighed.
“So you have no choice? You have to love him? You can’t stop loving him? You have to become one of them, a vampire?”
“To answer your first question, yes I love him, I don’t think it’s possible for me to not love him, every fiber of my being yearns for him. I’ll never stop loving him, even when I take my last breath it will be him whom I love. And to answer your last question, no, I do not have to become a vampire and I don’t plan on it. I have no desire to live forever. That’s not the way it’s supposed to be. I want to live my life to the fullest with Jonathon and then die human.”
“Really? You don’t have to become a vampire? I’ve never heard of such a thing before. Is your vamp okay with that?” Isaac asked shocked.
“If by, vamp, you mean Jonathon, then yes he’s okay with my decision. He wants me to be happy and staying human is what makes me happy,” I said.
“You’re a strange one Ky,” Isaac said with a small smile. A smile I noticed he reserved only for me.
“So, I’ve heard,” I mumbled looking at my feet.
“If you don’t want to be a vampire wouldn’t you be better off being with a human. Marrying a normal person, have kids, grow old together. Wouldn’t that be a better life than growing old while the person you love stays young forever?” He asked puzzled.
“But I can never love someone. Not the way I love Jonathon,” I said. “He’s it for me. The love we have… Isaac, words cannot describe how much I love him. He’s my… He’s everything to me.”
Isaac looked down at the ground and in a soft voice said, “You couldn’t love me? I would be good for you, Ky. Normal. I could work a steady job, we could live in one place all our lives, your precious bloodsuckers have to move every couple of years so the humans don’t get suspicious, but I wouldn’t. We could get married and have kids. We could have a life together. A normal, happy, very human life. What’s so wrong with that?”
“I love you, Isaac, I do, but not how you want me to love you. And your far from normal yourself, you kill vampires, you’re part human part angel, how is that normal?”
“At least I won’t look like I could be your son or grandson. People will think you’re his mother and then his grandmother. Have you thought about that?” He thundered spittle flying.
“That’s not important,” I said in a small voice even though he was right. What would people think? How would that make me feel?
“Isn’t it?”
“No,” I growled, “It isn’t.”
“I love you, Ky. No, I’m in love with you. I want you to realize that I could be good for you. He already left you once he could do it again. But I won’t do that. I’m your best friend and I’ll always be there for you. I would be good for you,” he reasoned.
“No,” I said shaking my head back and forth.
“Come on, Ky!” He cried like a petulant child. I expected him to stomp his foot and cry any second.
“Isaac, you and I are friends. I have been through this with you before. We are friends and only friends. Nothing more. If you can’t understand that then I guess we won’t be able to be friends any longer.” I said, getting mad that he was so stubborn.
His shoulders finally sagged in defeat. “Fine, we’re just friends and nothing more.”
I sighed and tore my gaze away from his to look down at the ground. Maybe he will finally understand that we will never be anything but friends. I knew his feelings but I couldn’t reciprocate them. I felt bad, Isaac deserved the world, but he wanted me and I could never return his feelings no matter how hard I tried.
His eyes got a mischievous glint in them. “Maybe I can change your mind.”
Before I could protest his lips were on mine.
My body went into panic mode. I couldn’t move. My body was locked into place.
His hands cradled my face. His mouth pressed against mine with an impenetrable force. I couldn’t breathe. His mouth roamed over mine; searching. The kiss seemed to go on forever. He did not want to relinquish me. I wanted to cry. This was not what I wanted. I wanted a friend. Only a friend and Isaac couldn’t even accept that. He always had to make things complicated. It was so unfair. If there was one thing in life I thought I could count on it was having Isaac as a friend. But now I couldn’t even have that.
A force collided with me and Isaac. I stumbled and fell backwards landing with a thump on the dirt.
“Ow,” I said rubbing my dirt covered bottom.
Isaac was on the ground and a dark figure straddled him.
