Chapter 3
''Leonel I..
I really don't know....'', Kylan muttered after minutes of thinking.
''That's it?
You don't know?'', Leonel raised his voice, Warren gripped his hand to make sure he wouldn't get too mad.
They all knew Kylan must have had a reason, any reason at all, but getting a real answer is something they might not get.
''It is because you were tired of me?
Were you too tired of seeing my face every single day that you decided to see the face of someone else?
Were you too bored of me not wanting to do what your desperate self wanted to do that you found someone to hook up with behind my back?'', Leonel snapped.
Kylan didn't know how to respond.
'Leonel it's not that-'', Leonel interrupted with,''How long?''.
The other boy muttered ''three months'' and Leonel scoffed.
''Was I this stupid to not realize what was going on for three whole months?''
What else could explain Kylan coming home later, him never letting Leonel see his phone, and the obvious way that Kylan seemed more distant.
That initiated a silence.
Soon Leonel broke it with,''Did you love me?'' He noticed how Kylan gulped and said firmly,''Of course I did, Leonel.''
''Then why would you betray someone you loved?
Why would you lie and make me believe you cared about me?'' No answer.
Leonel couldn't stand the lack of words from his Ex.
Leonel was thinking, did Kylan take advantage of his personality?
Leonel wasn't nearly as wild and outgoing as Roy was- he was soft and never was aggressive.
Leonel realized Kylan wanted someone that would always be up for doing things and someone more exciting than himself.
Leonel had to face it, Kylandidn't want him anymore.
'Leonel, I'm not ready for you to leave me yet.'', Kylan said firmly, but he was trying not to make himself sound weak.
He didn't want Leonel to leave him, but he didn't want to leave Roy either.
This was his fault and he knew it, but guilt was eating Kylan up,fast.
'I'm sorry Kylan, I wouldn't like to stay in a relationship with a dirty cheater''.
Those words hit Kylan,hard.
Leonel didn't mean to sound so cold, but he finally snapped and couldn't go back.
''Thanks for the coffee, I'll be leaving now.'' Leonel got up, with Warren and Samir following, and he didn't look back.
He only broke down after he left his old home.
~~~
It's been 2 long months since Leonel last saw Kylan.
He's been trying to fix himself and learn how to forget.
He's never been more thankful for his friends, but they didn't drop Kylan, and Leonel wouldn't interfere with that.
Leonel broke it off with Roy.
How could he still be best friends with someone that was secretly with his boyfriend, and is still with him even though they got caught?
Roy even said he had no regrets, what a great friend.
Kylan on the other hand- Kylan was a wreck.
He liked Roy, but he missed Leonel.
He missed being with someone soft and fragile, so lovable and precious.
It wasn't like Roy wasn't a loving boy, he was just different than what he was used to.
He knew it wasn't right to feel this way, it wasn't right to make himself feel like a victim; when the real one was Leonel.
Kylan felt guilt devour him, he felt regretful and just wanted Leonel back, but that didn't matter because he was nothing but adirty cheater.
A dark grey covered the midnight sky without stars in sight, as city buildings blocked the opportunity for them to show.
Lingering in the air was the sound of heavy breathing and hiccuped sobs.
Sitting in almost fetal position was a boy that had no idea what he has just done.
In front of this confused boy laid a dead man, blood from everywhere and anywhere spilling out on the concrete pavement.
The boy didn't even know who the man was, but he did know that he did not deserve a brutal death.
"I didn't mean it..
I didn't mean it..", the young boy mumbled to no one but himself.
It was his fault.. but itwasn't.
He didn't know what happened.
He was going to the convenience store, went into an alley for a shortcut, and then lashed out on a man;killing him.
But then, the boy's sobs became more violent as he remembered his vision blurring, mind filling with thoughts of nothing butblood.Jumping on the poor man, biting right at his heart, clawing at his skin.
He had no other choice but to call the person he trusted the most.
Leonel took deep breaths between sobs and started,"Kylan..
I did something really, really bad.."
"Leonel?
What did you do, where are you?", Kylan said in a tone of complete concern.
"I...
I killed a man."
Kylan froze at those words.
He finally spoke,"I'm coming right now".
He tried not to panic, because that's the last thing Leonel needed.
As quick as he could, Kylan threw on a jacket, grabbed his keys, and headed out.
Kylan had a feeling of where Leonel was, and he also had a feeling why Leonel did what he did.
He would never hurt someone, never mind a fly.
So Kylan jumped to a possible conclusion:
Is Leonel a vampire?
~~Leonel couldn't take the silence, it was suffocating him.
All he was hearing was his sniffles and loud thoughts, until he heard sirens.
He knew what was coming, but he couldn't move.
Fear completely took over Leonel's body, so he was left to watch multiple police cars surround both sides of the alley.
Someone witnessed the murder.
"Put your hands up where I can see them!", one of the cops demanded.
No, not cops- slayers.
Leonel stared at him like a deer in headlights, until he was screamed at again.
Then, Leonel flinched and slowly raised his arms.
The eyes of the men were so cold, so dark.
They didn't seem to care that Leonel was a mere teenager, because of who he was they wouldn't hold back.
"Leonel!" He heard from one end of the alley.
All of the officers looked his way, and Leonel was never more ashamed to see the person he loved the most.
"Oh my God, Leonel..", Kylan ran to Leonel and engulfed him in a hug.
Leonel held on to him like his life depended on it, to the point where his nails dug into Kylan's skin.
Kylan never expected to see his Leonel sobbing to the point where he couldn't breathe, covered in blood with police surrounding him.
"I'm sorry..
I'm so sorry Kylan I didn't mean it, it wasn't my fault..",Leonel sobbed to Kylan loud enough for everyone else to hear.
They didn't bat an eye though, not caring about how guilty Leonel was feeling for what he has done.
Maybe because they weren't regular policemen.
Leonel was harshly tugged from Kylan's protective embrace, and was nearly slammed against the police car.
"Please, sir he didn't mean to kill anyone, you must know what happened.
He just found out that he is a vampire and couldn't control his outburst.
Couldn't you imagine what he's going through?
He's only 18!", Kylan desperately tried talking to this man, but he was barely listening.
"Even if you put him in jail, or I need to pay I'll bail him out just please.. please dont k-kill him..", Kylan started breaking down but he knew he had to be strong.
Kylan knew what happened to all the vampires that were caught committing a crime.
No matter if they accidentally murdered a single person or intentionally killed 10, any of them would beexecuted.
No one could fight it, no one could stop it.
Kylan was almost going insane seeing the love of his life being dragged into a car with bars boarding the windows, he couldn't stand the sight.
He was being held from going near the car that held his precious boyfriend.
Leonel was uncontrollably screaming and hyperventilating, trying to catch air while pulling at his hair.
Kylan heard a cop near him tell another,"He's hostile, we have to remove him quickly." His blood boiled.
"Sir!
He's not hostile, he's having a panic attack!
Please let me see him." Luckily, with enough begging, Kylan was allowed to go to Leonel.
Kylan opened the police car and his heart shattered at the sight.
He wanted to curse the world for doing this to Leonel.
"Leonel baby, please calm down", He softly spoke to his love.
It was like magic, Leonel stopped screaming and started breathing normally.
"It'll be alright Leo, I'm right here", Leonel clung to his boyfriend's arm.
"I'm a monster, Kylan.."Kylan didn't know that his heart could hurt more until he heard those words.
It was like he got stabbed in the chest.
"I don't want to go Kylan, they're taking me away..", Leonel mumbled.
Kylan didn't want to say that everything would be okay, that they would be able to go back home together and would live happily.
Instead, he kissed Leonel's forehead while whispering things in hopes to make him more relaxed.
He couldn't imagine what life would be like without his Leonel, but he would have to face reality.
And that reality might have been soon.
