Chapter 7 Pieces of my Puzzle

Things seemed so different now.  I've learned so many things, I guess moving here really was all worth it. Maybe things are happening a little two fast.no... nonsense. I want to be where I am with Justin. I want him. I feel like I'm taking this pretty well.. I feel like its a normal thing cause of all the books I read. As soon as Sarah had gone to bed Justin took me to his home. I feel..I dont know. Its like im not in my world anymore. I feel so ordinary being human like that's an old trend. “Amanda” I snapped back into focus. “What? I ask. He glanced at me. “You staring off like that is making me stress, what are you thinking about?” I smile. “Nothing really I promise” he sighed. I could tell he didn't believe me for a second. Once we stopped at a stop sign I unbuckled my seat belt and smashed my lips on his. He grabbed the back of my head and kissed me back with a laugh. The car behind us honked and I sat back down. Justin stepped all the way down on the gas pedal and we sped laughing. When we got to the house all the guys were in a big mob yelling.  Again dejavu, I feel like Im meeting Nicks friends..no Pack all over again. “Jesus…” Justin got out and was gone in a blink grabbing a guy sitting on another he threw him into a picnic table “Get a fucking hold of yourself Devin” the guy Devin glared standing “Not my fault he's such a loudmouth never learning to keep his mouth shut!” Justin was obviously protective of the boy who stood awkwardly with his head down. Justin hissed his fangs out. I slammed my door shut signaling ,y presence. 11 heads turned at me. I walked over and smiled at the shy boy his lip was busted and he looked at me confused. “Hey..you ok..?” he stared at me wide eyed. “Dont be so nervous Peter this is Amanda she won't hurt you” Justin spoke softly. Peter turned and walked away. I yelped as I was spun around. “So this is why you've been gone I knew it wasn't just for Sara! He held me like a toddler with outstretched arms. “Wow your strong” I say with a nervous laugh. He laughed setting me down. I turned around a guy was in my face. His eyes were red. The guy that had spun me around yanked me back. “Im Noah this is Sid.. he's new as you can see he's not exactly...tamed” he says. I smile “How old are you Noah?” he raised an eyebrow “ I was turned when I was 24 but Im 36” he says with a wink. “You dog. I bet your a natural with all the ladies” he smirked. I walked back to Justin who was glancing back and forth at us with his arms crossed with a blunt look. I push his face together. “Your jealous” I sing. He pulled my hands off and flashed me his fangs. I smiled and he frowned “Your suppose to be scared...” he says I laugh kissing his cheek. “Your funny. Show me around would you Noah?”

“Sure thing princess” Justin must trust him because he didn't stop us from walking away. The house was huge on the inside. Everyone else was running around causing chaos. “Dont worry Amanda your safe here. Everyone has their own room and bathroom. We have a diet of human blood yes but were well tamed drinking out of blood bags.” he lead me into a kitchen and handed me a beer. I took it and took a big swig. “So how do you and Justin know each other?” he took a swig of his red beer leaning against the kitchen sink. “We've been friends for a while.. we were friends when I was still human. Justin and I had lived next to each other for a few years and we had hanged out. His parents were always a little cautious but one day when I was l climbing a tree I fell and cut my knee bad. Justin sat next to me and wiped of the blood. Telling me see not that bad. His eyes kinda turned though his fangs grew and I didn't feel scared I was just curious” he explains with a shrug “So we've been friends ever since.” I smile “Even after you got bitten..” he sighed. “Yea, I was at a wrong place at the wrong time. A few newbies of vampires found me, the guy that bit me didn't seem all to worried he could have taken me sense he was my creator but he left” I frown “Im sorry..” he smiled taking a swig of his beer. “Dont be. If I were not turned I wouldn't be closer to Justin and living here with new friends” I smile. “So you guys are pretty close then that's good” he shook his head. “When we were in seventh grade. Justin disappeared, I never saw him anymore his mother was dead then,Jackson was gone to. With a little curiosity and the help of Sara we found out people were testing on Justin and his father was helping them. I wished I never walked into that room. Thats an image that stays in a kids mind forever...you could hear him screaming as soon as you walked into that building.” he shook his head. He smiled at my face of horror. “Dont worry princess he's fine now. He has a few bad dreams here and there but he's been doing pretty good.” I couldn't speak. How could his father just have stood there?! Noah hugged me. I sniffed realizing I was crying “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you”. After I was turned we grabbed a few extra friends and started a.. cult. Jackson left ..the coward that he is. We dont know where he is but dont worry...Jesus I should stop talking” he leans away. “No! I'm so glad you told me.” he smiled wiping my eyes. “Enough stories for today hm?” he put his arm around me as I grabbed my beer. He had that same type of safe warm feeling that Nick had. I sipped my beer. As soon as I walked in the living room I was snatched with my head lifted. Justin was peering in my eyes. “You've been crying” he says “You made me spill my beer..” I say staring at the bottle spilling out brown light liquid. He grabbed my face again. “Amanda”

“Its might fault Justin I shouldn't have told her some things” says Noah. “I'm fine I was just sad” I say. Justin's sighed the next thing I knew I was on his lap outside. “What did he tell you?” I smile shaking my head. “I was just sad no big deal” I say leaning against him. “Amanda..” I sigh kissing his jaw. “I dont want to talk about it..please” he wrapped his arms around me and stayed quiet. The only thing I could hear was me breathing and the frogs.

The weekend took so long to pass I swear it's been days. Now that it's monday I wished for that sunday back. I haven't seen Amber all day yet I know she’s here. She has no reason not to be. I found her at her locker. She looked wide eyed at me. “Oh hi”

“Hi..” I say glaring at her. “Are you gonna keep being an ass of a friend and ignoring me or are you actually gonna talk to me?” she looked down.”Um thing is Amanda...why dont we go somewhere. I dont want to talk about it here” I nodded. Whatever it was had to be serious. Was it about the party? or her mom? I hope she didn't know. Is that a bad thing to want? I sighed “Ok lets go”

We drove to a local cafe. After we ordered are drinks I raised my eyebrows waiting. She bit her lip. “Well look I dont know but I kinda got this feeling or memory at the party that I kissed you” she says “Yea and you did...twice”  I add. Her face reddened. “Oh god what'd I say!” I shrugged my shoulders. “You said that it was fine, that friends do it all the time and you know what? it's not like I hated it. It was fine we were both drunk” I say shrugging. She looked away. “Yea thing is..I dont have a crush on Parker. I dont know. I think... I kinda like you?.. but maybe I really just like girls” she covered her face. I smile “ I dont mind. You know I am kinda seeing Justin though” she sighed “I know! I feel bad.” I smile Just has our drinks come. “Dont worry about it there are a bunch of pretty girls out there I bet you'd love” I say once the waitress leaves. She smiles. “I dont know.. When you guys dropped me off my mom wasn't home. She's acting all weird I'm getting suspicious” I sigh. “I dont know.. try searching through her purse maybe” she nodded. We kept chatting and finished our drinks in time to get back to school. The day finished. After cheer practice I grumbled as my feet were practically dead. Justin said he had something at home to deal with. The first thing I noticed before I even parked was that the front door was open. I left my bags in the car and ran for the door. Peering in the whole place was destroyed. Furniture upside down glass shattered the T.V on the floor droplets of blood splattered in one spot. “Sara!” I searched the house it was a total mess up stairs to. I ran into Saras room the boxes were missing. I felt so panicked I didnt no what to do. I called 911 but the thought of Vampires settled in so of course I had to explain who I was looking for. “911 whats your emergency?”

“Hi no emergency. I'm just wondering my grandma Sara Minskey, she works at the hospital do you know if she's in?”

“Sorry Ma’am we've left messages for her she hasn't been in all day” I bite my lip. “Ok thanks” I hung up and fell to my knees. I ran my fingers through my hair and called Justin as it rang for the third time I started jumping up and down. “Justin!” I whine angry. I groaned as it went to voicemail. “Justin! Saras missing! I called the hospital or whatever and they say she's gone when I got home the door was open and the house is a total wreck and there's blood on the floor. Call me!” I hung up crying. God I seem to be crying a lot. I called three more times. What the hell could be so important that he's not answering his phone?! I walked back down stairs and grabbed a coke from the fridge. I dont understand I dont even no what theory to explain to myself?! My grandma could be dead! But how there's blood this doesn't seem like a human would do unless there was many people. I went back up stairs and sipped my coke in my room. I could call Amber but its not like I can deal with explaining to her besides the only thing she could probably do is just scream. I sighed crying more. I felt so helpless waiting. As the sun started going down I felt so helpless. “Amanda!” I lifted my head Justin was in front of me with a blur my drink on the ground. “What with you and making me drop my drinks!” I cry. I felt so weak I felt like I wasn't me that there was
