The party went on well into the night, Falcon and the boys left an hour and a half ago, but as soon as it reached 4 am I decide to go home before I fell asleep on my spot on this couch. How are these people up with that much energy?! 

Pulling up into the driveway, I fumble for my keys, failing to get them into the keyhole of the door in my sleepy rush. Come on, get in already! 

After about 50,000 failed tries, I finally get the key in the door. No one was home yet, which is an enormous relief to me since I can just head upstairs with no one hassling me on my way up. Damn, if mum was here she'd have me turn the lights on but I hate turning the lights on so walking in the dark it is. I managed to dodge hitting into any furniture and just as I open the door of my room, mum's voice came from the front door. Damn it, woman! 

I quickly close my room door, taking my suit off hanging it neatly in my wardrobe, changing into some pyjamas and popped under the blankets before mum comes in here and tries to strike a conversation with me. I hear my door open but I close my eyes pretending to sleep, hearing mum say "goodnight my angel, I'll talk to you when you wake up" before she leaves again.

----------------

It was 10 am by the time I finally wake up; the sun blaring into my room, making me squint as my vision blurs for a couple of minutes. "How did you sleep, brother?" Vienna's voice comes from the bottom of my bed, making me kicking off the blanket.

"Go away!" I roar, trying to get my vision back.

"You would have never woke up if I didn't do this"

"I don't give a fuck, go away!" I hiss, throwing my pillow at her.

"Missed!"

"Close the damn blinds and get the hell out!" I scream.

"Hey, hey, hey. What's all the commotion about here?!" mum questions as she barges in.

"GET OUT!" I scream once again.

"All I did was open the blinds to wake him up, I did nothing," Vienna says giving puppy eyes, her bottom lip poked out above her top lip.

"I went blind from her!" I screech.

"The both of you are little children!" Vamp states with a laugh from the door.

"Aren't you meant to be doing something right about her young man!" mum snaps, making Vamp jump and run away with a swift "yes mum."

"As for you Mark, you should've been up a long time ago," mum scrawled. 

"I didn't sleep till 4 am, what the hell are you on about? You all are used to sleeping late waking up early, not me. Sorry to say this but NEWS FLASH! I can't wake up as you can. I just simply am not used to it" I rant, standing up off my bed closing my own blinds. As I turn back around Vienna's gone and it was just mum and I, judging by mums facial expression, she is not impressed so I'm in big trouble. 

"For once in your life, just don't start trouble," she says before she walks out of my room slamming the door behind her.

I pick my phone up texting Josh 'are we still up to hang out in at 11?' as I sit on my bed half asleep. 

"As the plan, 11 is perfect," Josh responds.

I go take a quick shower and get dressed, grabbing my keys on the way out of the house. I start my car driving off to Josh's place which was only 20 minutes away from mine. 

As I park my car, I knock on the door at his place, waiting for him to come and open the door.

I look around at the front yard, the house was made of wood, as for the yard it was barely a yard, half the grass burnt out, one tree nearly dying at it stood.

The door opened, Josh in a torn t-shirt with light blue jeans, his hair unbrushed all messy. "Hey, about time you got here."

"Well it ain't 11 yet so what's the hurry ay?" I ask raising my eyebrow.

"Everyone got here half an hour ago and you haven't arrived till now." 

"Well everyone else is an early bird, I, on the other hand, don't like to wake up early" I state smiling at him. "Gonna let me in or am I going to have to sit out here"

"No, no come in, mate" Josh welcomes standing aside to allow me to come in. I walk inside, the hall had wooden walls and floors, I wonder about entering the kitchen at first. "Hey mate, wrong room. Let me show you where we are all sitting."

He takes me down the wooden hall to the living room where the boys were seated on the big three-seater navy sofa which had matching two-seater navy sofas on either side, a wall unit opposite the sofa, the television in the middle of it, a medium-sized rectangular wooden table infront of the sofa, a few framed photos around the room and such giving the room a homey feeling.

"Ayy, Mark! There you are," they chant as soon as I enter.

"Hey boys" I greet walking over to them sitting next to them on the sofa. I look over at them, maybe I've gone crazy but Falcons wearing the same clothing as yesterday. He didn't go home, did he?

"So Mark, get much sleep last night?" Falcon asks winking at me.

"Yeah I mean six hours, what about you boys?" I ask, eyeing Falcon.

"Fair good amount." 

As we sat there in silent barely making conversation, my own thoughts bubbled into my mind screaming. Did Falcon even go home? What is this? A game?

I find myself asking him the only question on my mind. "Falcon, did you ever go home? Cause you didn't change clothing."

"Yeah, nah, I couldn't be bothered to change so wore the same clothing," he said, the tone in his voice making it obvious he was exaggerating the truth as he looked ahead at the television.

"I've got to go," I say getting up walking out of the house before anyone could say anything.

As I walk to my car, someone grabs my arm, spinning me around to face them. "What do you want Falcon?" I ask.

"You can't go yet" he states giving a death stare my way.

"Look, I have to. You aren't telling the truth Falcon, I can tell" I say coldly yanking my arm back.

"Mark, what do you want me to say?" he growls, his claws growing sharp.

"The fucking truth, just like I always have told you the truth ever since we were young," I say half-yelling. "Do you not remember when I first told you I was a vampire? How hard it was for me to tell you about it? Or did all I tell you not mean anything?"

"Mark, you telling me all those secrets... They meant a lot to me especially the boys. But the truth is I love Josh."

"Did you even go home last night?" I ask growling.

"No, I was here with Josh," he says looking away.

"Why the hell would you do such a thing? Do you even know his track record?" I growl, looking him directly in the eyes getting ready to rip him apart.

"Yeah, but it is different this time, he loves me and isn't just saying it," he says, trying to justify himself. 

"Different how?! The last time he did this, once he got tired of his ex-partner, dragging him around like a rag doll, he left him not even a month later and that will happen to you! You're just too blind to see it. He does this all the time I've seen it. Even that time when you went on holidays to Germany, he never told you but he broke 6 peoples hearts back then" 

"He's changed"

"Yea ok, we'll see. Just you watch in a months time. I ain't gonna believe it until he shows he is committed to you." I say as I get in my car speeding off not bothering to hear what else Falcon has to say.
