Chapter 465: Pandora’s box

Darrien

I get Jabi’s message and I think the worse. I start to worry that something has happened to him. Jabi is a delicate person and he needs me to take care of him. I let him go to school because I trust him but I have been worried all day thinking about him. The only reason why I agreed to drive Alanis was to distract myself from my thoughts and they all revolved around him.

His message is vague.

Can you come and pick me up?

Of course, I can but he didn’t give me an explanation. I feel like I can’t breathe until I see him again. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know if he’s hurt or if something happened to him.

I don’t know if he’s in trouble or if he’s ok. I’m so confused. I do a fifteen-minute drive in five and once I am parked in front of the school, I see him outside on a step but he is not alone. There is a boy with him. They are talking but Jabi seems uncomfortable. I get down from the car and jog over to him hurriedly. He looks up and our eyes meet. I stop in front of him and he takes a deep breath as he comes closer to me.

"What happened?’’ I ask him immediately.

"Nothing, Lenny helped me,’ he points to the guy with him and his scent hits me immediately. He is a vampire, I didn’t know there were other vampires in our town.

"Lenny?’’ I ask.

"Yes, I ran out of blood and he gave me some of his,’’ he smiles. I am confused, I don’t know what is happening but I don’t trust this guy with my mate. I don’t even know who the fuck he is and they are acting all chummy and friendly.

"Come on, let’s go,’’ I grab his arm gently because I need to talk to him in private. I don’t want to be upset with him because I trust him but I don’t like the fact that he exposed himself to a stranger.

"Aren’t you going to introduce yourself first?’’ Lenny asks with a smirk on his face. It almost seems like he is enjoying the tension right now.

"He’s a friend Dar, you don’t have to worry about anything. We can trust him.’’ Jabi looks up at me with that look that makes me want to bend. That look makes me want to give him the world.

I can’t trust someone that I just met.

He shouldn’t trust someone that he just met. Jabi can’t actually believe that a vampire just appeared out of nowhere and wants to be his friend. It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

There is no way I would be on board with this.

"Yeah Dar, we can trust me,’ he repeats. I turn back to face him, glaring at him. He is pissing me the fuck off.

"Don’t you ever call me that, in your fucking life,’’ I let go of Jabi and walk over to him "and stay the fuck away from Jabi,’’ I add warningly.

I don’t know who he thinks he is but I don’t trust him. He is dangerous and suspicious. He is a vampire and he is a stranger. I am not sure what his motive is but I am sure that there is one and I don’t want to find out.

Jabi is watching us with a look that is almost like he is going to cry. He is scared. I know he doesn’t like it when I am angry but I need to be angry right now.

I need him to stay away from this guy.

"I don’t mean anything by it. I am just trying to be friendly.’ he shrugs but there is still a smile on his face.

He is enjoying this a little too much.

"He doesn’t need your friendship. Just back off and stay away.’ I tell him.

"I don’t understand why you are so angry.’’ he says, "I helped your link and the least you could do is thank me. Do you know what he might have done if I didn’t show up?’’

Now that I think about it, I don’t think Jabi is ready for school. He is still a little out of control right now and I regret the decision of letting him go back.

"He doesn’t need your help. He would have called me."

Lenny scoffs with an eye roll "Yeah right.’’

I don’t know why I am initiating a conversation with this guy but I need to stop before things get out of control.

"Come on, let’s go.’’ I grab Jabi’s arm gently and walk away. The walk to the car is quiet and I am sure he can tell that I am upset with him right now. I don’t want to be upset but I don’t like that he didn’t call me immediately he felt like he was losing control. I don’t like that he drank blood from someone that I don’t know and I don’t trust.

We get to the car and he releases a breath "Why are you upset with me?’’

I turn to him and he looks at me with a confused look on his face. I don’t know what to say.

"I don’t know,’’ I tell him.

"I just wanted to make a friend and he seems nice. He helped me.’’ He is watching me and I see that he wants me to understand why he did what he did but I can’t right now. I need him to understand that he can’t just go around trusting people. We live the kind of life that should be secluded and he just opened the door to the outside world which could end up being a threat to our peaceful life.

Jabi is naive and he doesn’t know how dangerous the outside world is. I have lived long enough to know that I cannot trust anyone. It took a while for me to even trust Alanis and he is my brother.

I won’t trust this Lenny guy and I will make sure Jabi stays away from him.
