Between Love and Blood-1
I had been sitting down listening to people sing for an hour now. It was awesome....well some times. Honestly I don't know why some people even bother sireaching for the microphone. Then again, they were obviously laid out drunk. I was nervous because I was just bet to sing tonight, by my friend Luke. His dirty blond hair and dark grey eyes stood out in the dark. His lecherous stare made me uncomfortable, but a bet is a bet....of $1,000 dollars. I had to do it.
I looked around noticing perfect pale figures, they reminded me of models. They seemed to be enjoying the energy of the night. I looked closer and realized it was the Cullen-Hale family. With their parents and Bella. Oh Lord! I have to sing infront of them.
"Your turn." The guy who came off the stage last. The smell of whiskey on his breath. He walked off smacking my ass, "Nice Ass." He said laughing with his buddies.
"Just great." I whispered, I told the DJ the song I was nervous. "Family Affair" by Mary J Blige began playing, I hummed to the music like I was suppose to, noticing Jasper Hale staring directly at me, I nearly forgot to sing.
"Let's get it crunk, we're gonna have fun. Up in this dancery, we got ya open now ya floatin'. So now you gots to dance for me. Don't need no hateration, holleratin' in this dancery. Let's get it percolatin' while you waitin'. So just dance for me."
I finished the first chorus, people were so drunk and wild I was scared at first. After a while I got into it.
"We don't need no Haters..." it got even more wild I had let my hair loose from the ties, the straight black hair with bright copper ends, (think Aaliyah in "Try Again" music video.) believe it or not...it's how my hair has always been since I was young. It had to do with strange DNA...not the point. It made my leaf green eyes just pop.
I finally finished the song. Walking up to Luke and holding out my hand. "Money." He handed me the money with an annoyed sneer. "Here." He said, then taking a big swig of his whiskey.
"I'll see you tomorrow." I said to him, as I left. The cold and rain of Forks,hitting hard today. I looked around for my car finding it hard to see, I heard footsteps. I was okay at first when I realized I was being followed.
It was the men from the karaoke bar, I walked down the street to get to my car. I took the wrong turn ending in an alley. "Hey guys...ugh." I said before I was shoved against the wall. "You sang so beautifully...I want to hear it again." The guy who smacked my ass said in my ear. I heard him unbuckling his belt. The pressure on my back was suddenly removed. I fell to the floor.
I looked to see Jasper Hale with a pissed off look on his face. He was holding the guy with one hand by throat. He was choking him, "Jasper don't do it." He glanced at me, "Please...he's not worth it." He sighed and let go. "Beat it....if I see you again then your ass is mine." He growled out, the guy ran. His pants between his legs, causing him trip. He got up and ran off. The others were gone way before him.
"Thank you..." I said with a smile.
He offered a hand and a beautiful friendly smile. It was contagious, we began walking, only did I realize I was still holding his hand.....his ice cold hand. I loved every moment of it's winter embrace.
"So....Zion. How long have you been singing?" Jasper asked with a crooked smile on his red full lips. No...it's not a joke, my first name is Zion. My parent's are hippies....still to this day, they are hippies. Well hippies that had a thing for the Bible a few years before I was born...earning me the name. Zion Faith Jones. Yep....moving on.
"I have been singing since I was a kid. The moment I did it in public was my first time. So you can say I just lost my virginity." I joked but his face turned sour for a second deciding I should say something. "Is that bug spray?" He asked before I could say anything else. "Oh...yeah. You know how them bloodsuckers are." I said joking around, again his face just seemed to fall. I can't stand making this perfect man sad, but I don't know why I'm making him sad.
We were almost to my car, and he still didn't let go of my hand. I suddenly remembered something, he and Alice are together. OMG I'm not one of those people. I'm not a homewrecker! I tried pulling my hand free but it's like I didn't want to all of the sudden. Instead I wrapped my arm in his and pulled him closer, I was leaning on his shoulder we were in total couple mode. We glanced at eachother, smiles being shared. I blushed, he offered a light chuckle.
I felt bliss and complete,I didn't want it to end. Sadly...it did. Finally reaching my car a Nissan Altima....an old one my dad bought. It was all black. "Thanks again, for saving my butt...and possibly my life." I said with a smile. "Anytime." He said, hugging me. I was in utter bliss....he is just too perfect.
"Bye." I said entering my car as he closed the door for me. "Drive safely." He said to me. I nodded driving off, feeling bad suddenly. I wanted to stay with him, but I had to get home.
Pulling into my drive way. I felt sad, I needed Jasper....and I was only with him for awhile. The problem was that I wasn't sure if he liked me or was he just being nice. I mean everyone knew I was gay...I wasn't exactly flamboyant or dressed in a particular way. They just knew mainly because my parents always wanted a gay son, and most were okay with it. A few didn't like it, but those people I didn't even know or come across.
Entering my house I could smell incense and the particular smell of pumpkin spice...my mom's favorite scent.
"Hey mom" I whispered seeing her on the floor meditating. I walked upstairs silently, and going into the bathroom , deciding to take a bubble bath. I looked in the mirror waiting for the bath to fill.
Stretching my arms in the air, trying to touch the ceiling. My nearly flawless mocha skin, it was a combination of my mom's Nubian blood and my Dad's Quileute blood. My strong angular jaw and slender Nubian nose and thick plump lips just made my features stand out. My straight black hair with copper ends that went to my mid back and my bright leaf green eyes, they didn't look normal. Nothing about me was though. My slim yet tightly muscled body shined from the water.
I hoped in the bath tub and let myself soak in the water. I sunk into the water fully submerged holding my breath. The bubbles covering my body. I rose and grabbed a towel and dried myself off.
I put on a wife beater and some thin pajama bottoms on. Pulled out my Dracula book, it was so funny. How could someone love a bloodsucking monster. At the same time...why not? It wasn't always their fault, it's also their nature.
I put up the book unable to read after an hour of doing. Music sounded so good right now. "Hate That I Love You." by Rihanna played I sang word for word...her part.
I felt like I was being watched, opening my window. I saw nothing....wow. I was going crazy, I continued singing as I sat and looked out the window.
"I hate that I love you so Sooo oh ohh." I finished with a smile. A tear fell from my eye, it always made me cry. I felt stained...by Jasper. I need him and I barely know him.
Jasper found Zion so funny, but for him the jokes were bittersweet. Zion WAS almost raped, and Jasper IS a bloodsucker. The bug spray was so funny, how would it stop himself? He had to see him again. He had been watching Zion for a whole year now, Alice found out about it. The whole family caught them arguing, but then they saw how they were really fighting on Jasper needing to make a move. Jasper was terrified what if he said no....or what if he said yes? His life would be like Edward and Bella's! And Alice....well it turned out they weren't made for eachother...just great friends.
He wasn't stupid though, he would have no trouble changing Zion when it came to it. He wanted him to be with him, forever.
When he caught a glimpse of Zion changing he felt like he should look away but he couldn't bare it. His thin waist and thick ass, his tight muscles on his back. He was an amazing specimen of human. He wanted his blood yes, but could control himself around Zion...that's what was so funny. He watched him, his singing was so beautiful to him. When Zion opened the window he had to climb higher and hung upside down.
I was up and ready for school. A light blue beanie, white v neck and a thin layered silver hoodie and black skinny jeans and white converse. A moonstone crystal around my neck....hippies and crystals.
Going downstairs my mom was rubbing a pink crystal on her face. "Mom?" She just pointed out a plate with a fruit salad on it, "Thanks." I said a smile going to her face. I dug in.
School
As I got out of my car, I felt happy. I was excited and happy, not knowing what was wrong with me. I ran inside and found Jasper waiting in the hall with his family, "Hey." I said taking calming breaths. "Hi, there." He said with a slight southern twang. My heart melted, I gave a smile. He breathed in and sighed, "We should get to class." He said offering his hand, as he held my hand to class. I felt awkward because people were already talking not to mention Alice was just smiling at us. I felt like a homewrecker. She grabbed my other hand and smiled at me. We walked hand and hand to class.
Alice left us at the classroom with a wave, promising she would see us after class. I was worried, yet a calm came over me. I made to sit next to Mike Newton, but Jasper pulled me to sit next to him.
"Fags!" Mike said, thinking it was funny. "I maybe gay, but girls like me....what's your excuse?" That got entire class to laugh, his face looked flushed. He was obviously pissed.
"Now class!" The teacher said ordering us all to cool it. She began the lesson, why must I take Algebra.
After class Alice was there waiting. Again we three joined hands walking to Lunch. I grabbed my food they grabbed theirs. I went to pay for it, but Jasper was there before me with money paying. "You don't have too." I said, "I know, but I want too." He said with a crooked smile. I went to sit at my usual table, but they had other ideas.
I sat with them. We talked about school, life, our future. They were very interested about what I had planned for a future. I told them that, I wanted to be a singer. I was hoping to attend NASDA...an singing and drama arts academy.
They were all happy about it, telling me they enjoyed my performance last night. Alice brought up when Jasper and I intended to go on a date. I choked on my food.....they had to do CPR to help me. It was a big scare and I had to go to the Nurse's office.
"You'll be fine." She said, Jasper was smiling. "Thank you." He said to her and she seemed to gush at that. I felt territorial instantly like I should jump her, but the feeling was swept away with that bliss feeling again.
It was time to leave....instead of going in Rosealie's red convertable like he usually did Jasper wanted to spend time with me. It was Friday...why not? "Sure."
He asked if I wanted him to drive, I decided it was a great idea. "Sure. I trust you." I told him handing over the keys. He was driving insanely fast, "Whoa! You don't have to drive fast!" He smiled at me,"Don't worry. I have it under total control."
My house.
He opened my door and led the way to my house. I was surprised he knew where I lived. "Hey so...what do you want to do?" He thought about it for a moment. "Want to watch a movie?" "Sure...what movie?" "You pick!" He said, holding my hand. "Let's watch...Van Helsing."It is my favorite movie. He seemed okay with it, we watched it together. We sat on my couch in the living room, my parents not home. He grabbed my hand...I had to know. "Jasper?" He smiled, "Yes, Zion." He looked me in the eyes. "Why is it that you and Alice aren't together?" I asked wanting to know. "Well....I have been interested in you for a while now. I couldn't stay away any longer." I began blushing. Why is it that he had this power over me?
"So...Zion? Would you do me the honor of going out with me on a date?" He asked me, his golden honey eyes shinning in the dark.
