The Wretched And Divine
I Will Always Be There
ANDY'S POV
The guys and i have been waiting almost 3 hours for Alex to return. She didn't bring her phone so there was no way to contact her and i've been worried sick since the minute she left my house. The guys tried to assure me that she just needed to let off steam and that she'll be home soon, but 3 hours is way too much time. I apologized to Ash and we're okay now. I really do feel bad, it's not like they had sex or something.
"Can we please go look for her now? I can't take anymore of this god damn waiting game! She could be out there hurt! I have a feeling she is..." I exclaimed, growing more and more anxious by the second. The guys nodded before getting up and following me out of the house.
"I'm sure she's fine Andy, you're just being paranoid." Jake said. Even though his words seemed confident, he had an uneasy look on his face.
"No, i think he's right. I have that feeling too. I don't know if she's hurt or not, but i know something is wrong." Ashley spoke up.
We were now about 15 minutes away from my house. The guys and i were constantly calling Alex's name and used our delicate hearing and night vision to scope out the area. My sensitive sense of smell picked up the perfume she was wearing tonight.
"She's close." I announced. The guys nodded in agreement.
As we got closer to the smell, i started to hear a faint whimpering and what sounded like crying. She must be still upset about what happened back at my house... But why do i feel like that's not why she's crying? I noticed a figure in the fetal position on the ground, lying on the part of the sidewalk that wasn't lit by a streetlight. I ran towards it with my vampire speed, getting there within seconds. The guys were right behind me.
There she was. She was shaking uncontrollably and crying harder than i ever heard her cry. Did i do that to her? Must have. I'm such a shit mate. I leaned down and made an attempt to scoop her into my arms bridal style, pulling away quickly when she started to franticly wail around.
"No! No! Don't touch me! You got what you want. Please leave me alone!" She shouted, kicking and screaming.
"Alex?" I whimpered, afraid but almost positive that the sentence was directed towards me. I mean, who else would it be about? Alex looked up and squinted through the darkness to see who was standing before her. Once she finally realized it was the guys and i, she wrapped her arms around my shoulders. I thought she wanted me to leave her alone? I thought this as she cried heavily into my shoulder.
"Baby, calm down! Breathe!" I coached. I scooped her up into my arms before running home.
I laid her on the couch in my living room. My parents were out doing who knows what, so we were the only ones in the house. Alex's makeup was smudged and running down her face, mixed with her tears. She was a mess. The skin on her wrists and ankles looked raw... But why?
"You have to calm down, baby. What happened?" I asked, pointing towards the irritated flesh on her wrists. She seemed to cry harder at my question but made an attempt to calm down so she could talk. Ash and i sat down next to her while the guys stood around us.
I heard sniffling that wasn't Alex and looked up to see CC with tears streaming down his face and his mouth opened slightly. I gave him a confused look and raised an eyebrow in confusion as he pointed towards Alex's legs. He put his hands together before shakily moving them apart. I placed my hands on her knees before attempting to slightly open her tightly shut legs.
"No! No! No! Please!" She whimpered trying to shut her legs tighter. I grew anxious at her action. I eventually got her legs opened and nearly lost it at what i saw dripping down her inner thigh.
Blood.

@Red Phoenix77 i wrote this back when i was about 13 (im 18 now) but i assume that my thought process was that vampires weren't undead, they were very much alive. also, i was very inexperienced when writing this story so i didn't put too much thought into things. maybe i'll re-write it one day! :)
