BITE

I played with the Bronze medal my sister returned to me a moment ago. It was ingraved on the back "4th place duo interpretation" my partner and I were so excited when it happened but now that I think about it we where just in the middle of winning and losing.
Hannah gave it to me and whispered "dont forget you were my human sister before his vampire companion." What she had meant was to never forget I wasn't always like this. But the trouble with that idea was That for the rest of time I will be like this. It was a terrifying thought that I tucked away in the back of my mind farthest away from my heart.
Andy stired his drink Absent from his thoughts and mine. You'd think with as little space he gives me he'd be able to read my thoughts. Perhaps he could and none have stirred him. Maybe if I thought of something really hot like our bodies moving together on a mattress. Hot unnecessary breathe tickling his neck as I leave a love literal bite on it. I watched intently waiting for the slightest movement To say he knew what I was thinking.
he lifted his eyebrows and turned towards me "you gonna stare at me all night or am I going to have to turn your head for you?" He asked and I quickly looked away.
"Oh my god Renee!!" I looked up to see an old friend of mine she hesitated when she got close but kept going short after. "You haven't changed at all!"
i smiled "neither have you" I said to her.
she touched my hair "i mean I know its inly been two years since high school but damn not even your hair has grown."
Andy cleared his throat taking this as his que to change the subject before she caught on that I wasn't ageing. We did this often for people who hadn't seen me in awhile and for people asking why I wasn't eating.
"oh this is Andy." I smiled and she introduced herself. It was a save. She soon left and I was again alone with Andy.
"You know you're not like them anymore right? Or is the whole sucking blood from humans a normal thing?" You may think it violent or over reacting but this isn't the first time its happened.
"i know. I know but Hannah needs me." I say it so much I convinced myself that it was true. I knew it wasn't.
"you say that to much. At least find a new excuse or maybe tell the truth." He growled at me.
"why you want to know why I hate you. Why I hate me? I am terrified that I'll be left behind that I won't ever die. I don't want to live forever and watch them die." I was on verge of tears.
"The sooner you realize that you can't help it. The sooner that you realize that there's a difference between you and them. The easier it will be to bury them."
"you've done this so much you don't remember what the first time." I was crying. Again. The most human thing I did still. And thats when it hit me.
I wasn't human anymore. I was grabbing onto the past so much I forgot that they weren't dying I was dead.
"Youre right I don't know anything anymore I'm just 200 years old." He downed his coke and started to leave.
"No you're right ok. I have to separate myself but I don't want to forget who I was. I don't want to be 200 yet. Im only 22. Give me time and I'll do it."
he nodded and swung his head towards the car. We had to go. I grabbed the medal and disappeared. No goodbye. She would know where to find me
