Chapter 71: CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE : SHE'S HERE
"Fine" , "I already made up my mind.....,I'm telling Ryan who I truly am", Layla said to herself with ultimate determination.
"Are you sick ??", A voice asked this question in my head.
"I admit I'm sick", I'm really really sick, ever since I went on the date with Ryan I've been sick, I replied to the voice in my head.
"I know this decision is a very risky one as I don't know what Ryan's reply is going to be but I don't care" , "I just want him to know the true me and maybe he would love me for who I truly am".
A vampire doesn't develop feelings for a human, to hell with being a vampire, I hated being a vampire right from time so I don't give a damn about any vampire's ideology.
Ever since I returned home from my date with Ryan, I have stopped going out , I've been stuck at home just thinking about Ryan and Ryan and Ryan, I stopped going to school, I rarely even eat , as a vampire I could do without eating for months as blood is our main source of survival.
"Speaking of blood, when last have I had a sip" , "yuck I hate the smell of blood".
I've practically been offline since the day I came back from the date, I've been trying to avoid anything from Ryan, calls , texts and mail's, if i see anything from him it would feel like my heart is going to burst open.
"My feelings feel's stupid right ???", "But I'm proud of it".
Did i even mention all the time Ryan came to visit me but I chose not to see him, telling my compelled mother to always say to him that I'm not at home.
"But right now all I want to do is show him who I really am and what's next ??", I don't know but I know I'm crazily in love with him.
Meanwhile at Ethan's house....
"Seriously, you are saying Jack attacked Phillip out of anger ??", Blake said with a tell me more expression on his face.
"I don't really like that guy right from time" , Diana said with disdain.
"I continued telling the story about how the fight went and all the things that happened there including our meeting", "I narrated everything to them" .
"Hey Ryan have you seen Ethan's son ??", Blake's eyes were fixed on me as he asked Ryan who was gradually coming down the stairs.
Blake kept saying that shit but I've been ignoring him since and now he wants Ryan to take over.
"I have seen Ethan's son before anyone if you could see him except for Ethan and Bassam", Ryan sat down beside Bassam.
"Hey" , "hey" , continue your story, Blake said impatiently.
"Ok" , we left the uncompleted buildings and we walked along the road, I completely narrated last night's event to my friends.
so it was Flaming that saved you guys from the pitbull", Blake laughed out as he said.
"Flaming woke up at that moment and she only roared and the pitbull scurried away" , I replied.
"Your brain didn't remind you about the risks of accepting to take care of the boy when you were discussing", "but your brain functioned well when you heard the siren of the police vehicle and you were able to hide" , "I think your brain is not completely updated", Ryan burst out with laughter.
"Mine is not completely updated but yours is out of date", I replied with a smile.
"Ouch!!", "That really hits the spot", Bassam laughed as he said.
"But on a serious note" , "I'm not saying the boy staying here is a bad idea but we are at risk if the police just mistakenly see the boy" , we have to be careful, Blake said.
"I'm grateful for staying with all of you" , Raymond who was seated on Diana's lap suddenly said.
"It's nice that you are grateful but we are more than happy to have you here, right guys ??" , Diana Said to Raymond with a smile.
"Yeah !!", We are all happy to have you here , we all replied in chorus and a Raymond smiled.
"We are all going to school right ??", Diana asked.
"Yeah !!", We all replied.
"Then who is going to stay with Raymond at home ??", We all said in chorus.
"Ding !!", At that moment Ryan's phone beeps and he quickly brings out his phone from his pocket.
This stuff didn't even cross my...
"Don't worry guys I would stay with Raymond at home" , Ryan said with a plain expression as he continues to press his phone.
"What did you Say ??", I asked .
"I said I'm going to stay at home with Raymond","you guys can go to school" , Ryan said.
"Are you ok ??, Blake got up from where he was sent and he walked up to Ryan who was still focused on his phone and he put his hand on his neck.
Ryan switched off his phone and he looked up at Blake , "what's the problem ??".
"Are you okay ??", I asked.
"Yes I'm okay" , "what's wrong with you guys ??", Ryan said with his voice a bit shaky.
Blake quickly walked back to the couch he was formally seated on and he cleared throat , on this very day our "professor" , "doctor","driver" and "disturber Mr Ryan Walker hear by decided to skip school for first time in history".
"Mtcheeeew !!", You guys should stop this and prepare for school.
"Okay if you say so professor Ryan Walker, and also make sure you watch over Flaming make sure she doesn't go out .
"Where is She right now ??", Ryan asked.
"She's in my room sleeping", I replied.
"No problem !!", "Alright you guys should move out" , Ryan shouted.
"Are you sure this boy is alright ??", Blake asked as we began to prepare for school.
"Who knows", I replied with a shrug.
Few minutes later we were already on our way to school and Ryan continued to wave at us until he could probably see us no more.
Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! , She's coming , she's coming, she's coming !!, Ryan screamed on top of his lungs as he rolled on the ground.
"Uncle Ryan Walker I'm going to take a nap" , Raymond eyes continued to twice as he took out the sleeping tablet and pops one of it In his mouth so he would quietly fall asleep.
"I should go take a bath" , Ryan shouted after Raymond fell asleep.
About 15 ten minutes later, "knock", "knock","knock" .
She's here !!.
