Everytime We Touch

Chapter 4:Understand Him!

(Tyson's POV)

It's been at least two days since Max found out the truth about Kai...That he was a vampire. The secret that Ray and I tried to keep. We found out the same way that Max had only thing was that we didn't have the same reaction that Max did. Ray was shocked and I were scared shitless,but we got over it because we knew that Kai would never hurt us. Kai was our friend. When we found out,we promised Kai that we wouldn't tell Max that he was a vampire until we thought he was good and ready.

Unfortunately,Max wasn't. His reaction proved it.

After Kai told Max that he was a vampire,Max didn't look so good. He got very pale,almost like the same color as a white piece of paper. He brought his hands up and put them on his head. It looked like he was trying his best to comprehend what was going on. Max had looked at us and pretty soon he began to fall backwards.

Kai rushed over and Max landed in Kai's arm. We heard him whisper his name.

"Kai..."

Ray and I looked at Kai,but his eyes never met just kept looking at Max. Kai got up,holding Max in his arms bridal style and walked over to the doorway.

"I'm going to take Max to his room..."

"Yes!" I said as I shot my head up.

"I want you to look after him..."

"Why me?"

"Because...I don't think that me looking after him would be a good thing at the moment..."

With that said Kai left to Max's room.

Ray and I stayed there in silence for a few moments. I headed for the doorway when Ray spoke up.

"You saw the way he looked at Max..."

I turned around and looked at Ray with a questionable look on my face.

"What?"

"I mean,when Kai looked at Max...It was as if Kai wanted Max to wake up right then and there...to apologize to him...Like if he wanted to say I'm sorry that I'm a vampire..."

I gave Ray a sad look and left.

"Why would Ray say that? Kai can't deny what he is...Why would he apologize to Max about that?"

I placed my hand on the right side of my neck. I winced a little when I touched my neck. I had completely forgot that that was the same spot that Kai had bitten me. Max passed out and we were all so worried about him that Kai forgot to heal the bite. To make up for it I had to put a band-aid on it.

I sighed and looked down at the sleeping boy in front of me. Max looked so peaceful sleeping in his futon snug as bug...

FOR TWO GOD DAMN DAYS!

Ever since he passed out,Max has been like this! Hasn't moved,made a sound or anything! It's like he's dead...

"Is he awake yet?"

I turned around and saw the door open. Kai's head was poking inside,waiting for a reply.

"No..."

Kai,out of all of us,has been the one who's been worried about Max the most. He thinks that all this is his fault...I hate seeing him like this. Depressed and sad...

"Kai,I-"

"...mmm..."

I stopped whatever I was gonna say when I turned and looked at Max. He was sitting up on his futon and looking past me. Towards the door. His eyes...His eyes were widened...Like if he was scared...

I stood up straight and suddenly remembered who else was here. I slowly looked at Kai and saw the same look that Max had in his eyes.

Both of them were...scared...

"W-What's he doing here? Get him out!" Max yelled as he jumped out of his futon and backed up against the wall. Trying his best to get as far away as he could from Kai.

"Max,calm down."

"How can I be calm when...THAT is here!"

I looked at Kai and saw that he now had a far more depressed look on his face. I looked back and forth at the both of them.

What the fuck! This is not going to happen! Not while they live under MY roof!

I clapped my hands together to get Max and Kai's attention. I walked over to Kai,grabbed him by his shirt collar,and threw him onto Max's futon. I ran out of the room. I closed the door and locked it from the outside.

I heard someone run to the door and began pounding on it.

"TYSON! OPEN THE DOOR!" Max screamed.

"No! I'm not opening this door until you talk to Kai!"

"But-"

"But nothing! I don't want you to act like this just because of what you found out! I don't want two of my best friends acting like this just because the other one is different! I want you to understand him! I want you to understand Kai!"

With that,I ran...Hoping that all this will be resolved...
