Chapter 368: Friendship
Gyles
"Have you ever co across a suicidal vampire?’’
I furrow my brows in confusion "what do you an?’’ I ask Alanis. When I was turned, I didn’t even get the chance to live as a vampire but I did live with vampires my whole life, so maybe that is why he is asking
this.
"Like have you ever co across a vampire that didn’t want to live anymore?" Alanis and I have gotten closer since I ca to their community. We have this relationship where we check up on each other and even though I haven’t seen him in a while. It seems like the bond is still there.
"Wow, is suicidal even the term? I an, being a vampire ans you want immortality. It is not just sothing that happens... right?’’ I ask him.
He sighs into the phone "You know at so point in my life, I didn’t actually see the point in living. I get that people have stuff they are going through that makes this life not worth living.’’
I stiffen at his words "This is not about you, right?’’
"No, no. definitely no. I am happy right now. Beau is everything I have ever wanted. Things are perfect.’’ He says in that dreamy tone that he carries sotis when he is talking about his mate. A smile sprawls to my face because I like it when he talks about him. the fact that his mate has brought him so much joy resonates inside .
"Who are we talking about?’’
"My brother.’’
I think back to the ones I have t. Darrien and Eligio. Darrien seems like the kind of person that loves life. I don’t really know much about Eligio, so I am thinking it might be him. maybe. I can’t be too sure.
"Which of them?"
He sighs into the phone "Does it really matter?’’
"Not really.’’
I can tell this is beating him up a lot. I an, it is really early in the morning and he called. So he must need soone to talk to.
"I have been thinking all night of a way to convince him that he doesn’t need to feel this way and I don’t know what to say.’’
"Don’t you think that it is up to him to decide if he doesn’t want to live anymore?’’ I ask. I completely understand how he is feeling. Living forever might seem like a blast but sotis, you would just want to let go. it should be his choice if he doesn’t want this life anymore. he is the one living it.
"I can’t watch my brother die. I will not let it happen."
I nod in understanding.
"Find things that will make him appreciate the life he has. Show him that he shouldn’t let go. you can try but it still has to be up to him.’’
"Fuck, I hate that you are right. how are you and the boys?" He changes the topic. I smile, slowly walking to the window in blue’s room. There is a smile on my face because things have been perfect. Jules has completely accepted us into his ho that I feel like a part of his family. When we first ca here, I worried about fitting in. I worried that he would hate
but we have all gotten along so well, that all those worries seem so long ago.
"Things are perfect,’’ I exclaim in pure bliss.
"This is the first ti I have heard you even use that word. Are you sure you are the sa Gyles I know?’’
I laugh.
He is right. there has always been this voice in my head that makes
overanalyze everything. a darkness that made
believe I didn’t deserve all the things that I had. Now it is gone, I am more appreciative of the things that I have.
I guess that is the lesson I have learned through all this.
Value the things you have, don’t focus on the things you lost.
"Sa and new,’’ I smile, searching for them through the window. We are supposed to go hunting together but I told them I would be down to answer this call.
"When are you all coming back. you might not believe
but Beau misses Rex a lot. He has gotten so used to him, that it is strange not having him around."
I actually believe him because I know how much Rex ans to Beau. Even though they are no real brothers. I have never seen anyone act like a brother to soone else as Beau does to Rex.
"I don’t know, depends on Blue. I guess he wants to spend so more ti here, after everything he has been through." I manage because I see it. he is trying to act normal but in the span of such a short amount of ti, he has lost so much.
"I can only imagine. Take all the ti you need and co back to where you belong,’’ he breathes into the phone and it warms my heart. I have found a friend and Alanis and I will never take it for granted.
The room door opens and Blue walks in "Co on,’’ he waves his hand in the air as he walks closer to .
"Talk to you later?’’
I nod as I end the call and he pulls
into his arms, lifting
off my feet. I squeal completely caught off guard "Hey, what are you doing?’’ I ask him with the biggest smile on my face.
He laughs "I am carrying my boyfriend. Is there a problem with that?’’ he raises a brow mischievously. I wrap my legs around his waist and he grabs
by my butt. My heart thuds against my chest as he pushes
to the wall gently. His eyes beco dark—the way they always do whenever we touch.
"do you want to do this?’’ he asks. I know what he is talking about. Hunting has been a topic of concern for .
It is sothing I have never done before and I don’t want to fail at it.
"Yes.’’ I manage slowly leaning into him and pressing my lips to his. He smiles into the kiss and I ginger up the excitent that I should have had from the beginning.
