Chapter 17

*night of the dance*

I don't like wearing suits, they aren't comfortable at all. What makes it even worse is I have to wear a freakin tie. I don't know how to tie a freakin tie! I've been trying to put this tie on right without getting it into a knot of the past hour, and Alexander's going to be here any minute to pick me up. Can anything else go wrong?
" Jacoby, do you need me to help you with that tie?" My father asked, standing at my bedroom doorway.
" Yes, Alexander's going to be here soon," I sighed, feeling so stupid. What guy couldn't put at a freakin tie?
" You know, if you want I can just drive you up to the dance and Alexander can just meet you there. I'm going to ya know," My father said, tying my tie.
" No, cause I told him to pick me up," I said. " Thanks, dad."
" You're welcome," He smiled at me. " You two are planning on stopping and making out aren't you?"
" DAD!" I turned to stare at him in totally shock. Why would he think that?
" What?" He said, his smiled didn't fade. It was like that he was happy that he made me blush, like his job was done for the day. " It's what I would do."
" Ew, dad," I said, grossed out at the mere thought of him making out with someone, guy or girl.
" Oh come on, it's not like you two haven't had sex alright. I'm not that stupid," He chuckled.
I blushed more, and kinda glared at him. " You're not helping, dad,"
" You're nervous aren't you?"
" Yes, yes I am," I suddenly yelled. " I can't dance, I'm way out of my fucking league!! Watch me step on his foot or something!" I was majorly freaking out over a stupid dance. I shouldn't be freaking out like this, and I felt really childish for it. Then again it was my first dance, and with Alexander.
" Jacoby, dancing is really easy," My father patted my shoulder, giving me a reassuring smile. " You just follow the others lead, that's it."
" That's it?"
My father nodded his head. " So don't worry so much. I bet that Alexander is just as nervous as you are."
" I doubt it," I sighed, wishing that I was as calm as Alexander was. " He's always calm, cool, and collected."
" Oh really?"
" Yes, really," I nodded.
There was a little knock at my doorway. When I turned there Alexander stood in a tux, a tux, not suit, a designer tux with a rose on the callor.
" Hi, Jacoby, hope that I'm not interrupting a father-son moment?" He smiled kindly.
" Um...no, no you're not," I was in that wow state of mind, where you're just like wow, and you feel like your high. That was me at that moment, plus the fact that I was excited and blushing.
" Hello, Alexander, how are ya?" My father smiled at him, shaking his hand.
" Good, good, you?"
" I don't really wish to go to a dance with a bunch of teenagers, but then again I have too," He laughed, as Alexander did.
" I don't think that it would get that bad," Alexander smiled. " Ms. Rose seems to have the school's troublemakers in shape. Not many fights anymore."
" That's true, yet I don't really wish to see Ms. Rose," My father sighed, then looked at my alarm clock. " You two better get going. I'll be there in a few minutes, alright?"
" Alright, dad," I smiled, taking Alexander's arms, and he led me to the car.
" Have you told him that we're getting married yet?" Alexander asked me.
" No, not yet," I said.
" Okay, I think we should announce at the dance tonight," He smiled at me.
" W-what? To everyone?"
" Well...maybe to just friends and family," He said, patting my shoulder. " I don't think that everyone needs to know yet."
" Alright," I nodded. I didn't want everyone to know, but then again it would get around pretty fast knowing this town.

I don't think I've ever seen the gym to crowd and as well decorated as it was tonight. Yet whoever did the decorating over did it with the balloons and glitter. Girls were beautiful dressed in sparkling grows, expansive looking jewelry, and some were even wear light up shoes. The guys were dressed in suits or tuxes, and wearing man perfume, some wearing way to much of it. The room was in an up roar of laughter, and gossip.
" Hey Alexander, Jacoby!" May shouted. She was over by the punch and food, along with Julie and Jade. " Wow you two look nice."
May was were a form fitting pink dress, it had too many ruffles in my opinion and made her boobs look too big. She was wearing make-out, she looked pretty. Jade was wearing a green silk dress, which looked rather comfortable. It had a brooch in the middle of her boobs; the jewels in the brooch were Jades, go figure. Julie was wearing a purple dress, a plain one, but it did suit her well. She had her hair in curls, and she smelled of roses.
" You guys look wonderful!" I smiled at them, as they gave Alexander and I hugs.
" Thank you!" They smiled.
" So when they going to turn off the lights and started the music?" Alexander asked the questions before I could.
" Not sure, they usually do it around 8 or so, it's like 7:30 now," Jade said, pointing to the gym clock.
" I see," Alexander said, then looked at me. " Hungry?"
" Uh-uh, not yet," I smiled at him kindly.
" Alright," He smiled back.
" We didn't think that you guys would come," Jade said.
" We said we were coming," I pouted a little.
" Well a lot of people say they'll come and never show," She smiled as if to say sorry.
" I wasn't going to give Jacoby the chance to chicken out," Alexander teased, poking my arm. " First dance after all, nerves must be shot alright."
" They are," I sighed.
" See, told ya,"
They girls giggled. They seemed to be having fun. As for me, it was okay though I just wanted to be alone with Alexander somewhere and fucking make out or something. I guess my father as right, that's kinda creepy.
Julie seemed to be looking at someone on me.
" What are you looking at?" I asked. " Don't tell me there's a stain on with freakin suit alright!"
" No, no, there is no stain," She smiled reassuringly. " I'm looking at the ring on your finger. I didn't know you wore rings. It's beautiful. Who gave it to you?"
" My that is a pretty ring," May and Jade said, taking my hand to look at it.
Alexander chuckled, as I started to blush and get a little flustered.
" Um...Alexander gave it too me," I said, and all three girls looked at me then at Alexander. They had a stunned looked like they didn't even have to ask why he gave me the ring.
" You two are getting married?" May was the first to ask the question.
I hid my face in Alexander's arm, blushing even more. Alexander kissed my forehead.
" Yeah we're getting married," He told them.
" OMG YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!" The girls squealed at the top of their lungs, excited.
Heads turned to look at them and Alexander and I. Wondering who they were talking about. I didn't like that fact that everyone was looking at us, and probably wanting on the whole conversation.
" Not so loud, we don't want everyone to know," I hissed at them.
" We're sorry, but it's just so excited!" Jade giggled.
" Not to mention cute!" Julie smiled. " You have my blessing."
" Uh-huh," May nodded her head. " Who's the female out of the two of you? Someone's father has to walk one of ya down the isle, right?"
" That is true," Alexander smiled kindly. He was taking this rather well, I was blushing and getting hot in this freakin suit. " Well after the other night, I don't know who is the female anymore."
" ALEXANDER!!!" I majorly blushed after he said that.
" What it's true,"
The girls giggled. " That's cute, I always thought that Jacoby would be the one on bottom."
I hid my face. " I usually am," I said in a tone little higher than a whisper. This was so embarrassing.

The lights were finally turned out, and the music started. The music was nothing Alexander or I liked, though everyone else did. They were on the dance floor dancing in a way I could never be able too. They again it was nice to see people having, yet I wish I could dance like they could and have fun.
Alexander looked at me. " You alright?"
" Yes, I'm fine," I smiled at him kindly.
" Hungry?"
" Nope, too nervous," I chuckled, and he just smiled at me.
I went back to looking at the people in the crowds outside the dance floor. No one I really knew were in them. Though I did spot my father and Ms. Rose a few times. My father didn't look all that happy being there with her, listening to her talk so long. I felt bad for him. I wished I could help him, but I didn't feel like having my ear talked off by Ms. Rose, and I'm sure that Alexander didn't either.
I started to look over the crowd again when I suddenly felt like someone was watching me. Yet when I looked at everyone's face no one was looking at Alexander or me. They were looking at the person they were talking to or dancing with. Though I felt like someone's eyes were burning holes in my back; I turned around behind me, no one was there either. This didn't make sense. I'd gotten this feeling before and no one was there. Maybe it was because I'm over reacting. That has to be it.
That's when I heard someone shout my name, and I looked up. There Jasper was standing right in front of Alexander and I, yet no one else seemed to see him but us.
" What do you want, Jasper?" Alexander hissed coldly, glaring at him with hate filled eyes. " I thought that you and your friends were in jail?"
" Guess you were wrong, huh, gay boy?" Jasper chuckled, getting into Alexander's face, the same mistake he made the first time he got his ass kicked by Alexander.
" Jasper, you're not welcome here, leave!" I shouted, my upper jaw hurting. The smell of his blood was odd, yet it smelled so good.
" What's wrong, Kuro?" He taunted me, getting close to me, and Alexander growled standing. Jasper turned to Alexander. " Like you're going to do anything vampire!"
" You know?!" Alexander growled.
" Duh!" Jasper chuckled, then looked at back me for a second. " My blood smell good, Kuro?"
" Stay away from my son," My father said from behind Jasper, and my blood ran cold. He was going to get hurt. Jasper isn't human, no anymore at least.
Jasper turned around to face my father. My father went to hit him in the jaw, but Jasper caught his fist, and growled. I could see Jasper's body spasm; it was like he was holding something back from sight.
" You vampires are so fucking stupid!!" He shouted getting everyone in the room to look, then it all happened way to fast.
The next thing I knew was Alexander trying to get to Jasper, but the blood splatter onto the floor. Screams filled the room, horrified screams. Half of the school ran. Two face were the only I could point out. Ms. Rose was rushing over, her face was saddened, scared, and angry. My father's face was twisted in pain, as he gripped Jasper's arm, which was through his chest. Jasper's arm looked very odd, it was like it was an arm of something that was half human, half wolf.
" See you in hell," Jasper said, jerking his arm out of my father's chest, then vanished into thin air.
My father fell to the ground, and without even thinking I caught him. I gently rested his head on my knees, and the pain set in, the pain of what just happened and what was know happening because of it. It hurt so much!
" Oh my god!" Ms. Rose gasped.
" D-dad..." I could barely get the word out, let alone keep myself from crying.
" J-Jacoby.....I-I'm....so sorry," He said back, with a weak smile, as his bloody hand touched my cheek, just like my mother had before she died.
" D-don't be...." I cried, taking his hand tight in my own. " I don't care, you were trying to protect me, just don't leave me!!" I burst out, it seemed all jammed together, my words.
He coughed, coughing up blood. " I-I love you....I know that....I haven't s-said it....much.....and...I'm so sorry...that I le-left you and your mother like I...did....I-...I love you...so much...." His hand was losing it's grip on mine, as his eyes started to close.
" Dad! Dad, fucking stay with me!" I cried, and his chest stopped raise, he was gone. " Dad! p-pl-..please" I cried into his chest.
Alexander pulled me close from behind. I rested my father's head on the floor as I curled into Alexander and cried, losing all self-control that I had. I could hear him sniffle as he cried himself, he was squeezing my shirt, trying not to cry. Ms. Rose must have went to the girl's locker room to cry, cause I didn't hear her crying. Then again all I really gave a shit about was Alexander holding me, and my father's dead body beside me. I wondered how I was going to pay to buried him, and pay for the wedding, who was going to walk me down that freakin isle, what I was going to do without him, and tons of other things.
" I'm sorry, Jacoby, " Alexander said, his voice sounded like he was crying.
" It's not y-your fault....It's no one's fault," I said, starting to calm down, yet I know I would just break down later when I was totally alone.
" .....Would you like me to take you home? I'll come back, get your father, and Ms. Rose, take care of her...okay?" Alexander said. He seemed to know that I wanted to be alone, to let everything out. Yet I kinda didn't want to be alone, not with Jasper around again.
" No, I'll help you," I said, wiping my eyes and nose.
" Jacoby-----" He started to protest , then I gave him a sort of ' I'm kinda don't want to be alone look'. " Alright, you go check on Ms. Rose though."
" Okay," I started to get up, my legs were numb and didn't really want to work, but I made them as I walked over to the girls' locker room.
I gave the door a little knock. " Ms. Rose?" I said.
" Jacoby?" She opened the door slightly to look at me.
" Yes, Ms. Rose it's me," I said, seeing that she had been crying.
" I'm so sorry," She said, coming out and giving me a hug, and I hugged her back.
" Don't say you're sorry, you did nothing wrong," I told her, and looked at her. Her thoughts were everywhere at the moment. There was a lot of stuff that she wanted to ask, stuff that she didn't understand, and more than likely cause I wasn't planning on telling her all this odd stuff.
She nodded her head. " It all just happened to fast, ya know,"
" Yeah...." I looked down at my feet, wishing that I could have done something to stop it, like stepped in front of him.
" Was that Jasper, Jacoby?" Ms. Rose asked, shaking me from my depressed and regretful thoughts.
" Yes, I don't know why he would have been here. He was supposed to be in jail still along with Julian and Mark," I growled. " How did that bastard get out?"
" Jacoby, calm down," Alexander said from behind me. EMTs were taking my father's body, and cops were here looking at the scene.
" You called the freakin cops!" I shouted.
" I had too, Jacoby," Alexander said. " Jasper escaped from jail, he didn't just like get out on good behavior." He pointed out to me. Jasper escaping from jail didn't cross my mind at all.
" Are you Jacoby?" A female cop asked me.
" Yes, ma'am," I said, trying not to get upset with anyone. I knew that the only getting upset with everyone around me because I was upset with myself.
" Was the guy that did this Jasper?"
" That's kinda a duh answer," I groaned. " He's like the only guy that fucking wants to kill me."
She glared at me. " Watch your mouth boy."
" I'm sorry," I looked down, feeling ashamed.
" Do you know where we could find him?"
" No I don't," I sighed, wishing I did. Then I would go after him and fucking rip out his blackened heart and make him eat it.
" Jacoby, you're thinking that Julian and Mark helped him don't you," She said to me, giving me a slight smile.
" Why wouldn't they help him? He'd kill them if they didn't help his sorry ass," I groaned.
" They didn't help him get out, as a matter of fact it was strange," She said. " They don't remember doing the things they did to you at all. Julian woke up one morning and asked me why he was in here. Mark did the same thing. When I told them they freaked. Saying that they wouldn't never do that to anyone."
Alexander looked at her. " Are you sure they weren't just lying to you cause Jasper told them too?"
" I'm sure, because we had them apart from each other for that reason," She said to Alexander kindly. She was confused, but why was she asking us. " Do you know why?"
" Ma'am you and your forces are in way over your head with this case. Let Jacoby and I take over it, you'd get lost with everything that we would try to explain to you, that or you'll think that we're nuts," Alexander was right in that. I knew what Alexander was thinking, and if it was true, they were all going to fall to Jasper's will very easily.
" Sir, after seeing Jasper turn into some freaky wolf thing, I think I can take anything," She gave him a smirk.
" W-wolf thing? Alexander, Jacoby what is she talking about?" Ms. Rose asked, her face was pale, and her hands were shaking.
" Ms. Rose, please go home," Alexander said, patting her shoulder. " Jasper will not come after you. He'll only come after Jacoby and I out of hate. I don't want to get you involve with such affairs as this, go home."
She was going to protest, then changed her mind, and nodded her head. She started to walk out of the gym, and I was glad that she was gone. I didn't want her to get hurt.
The female cop looked at us. " My name is officer James, would you mind coming to the station and talking to the other's that have seen what Jasper has done and try to explain it to them and myself."
" Sure, but don't say we didn't warn you," I said grimly.
" What we tell you can't tell anyone else," Alexander said politely, yet firmly.
" I understand, and thank you so much," Officer James smiled at us. " Oh, you wouldn't mind talking to Julian and Mark would you? They offered to help find Jasper."
" I don't see why not," Alexander returned her smile, but I didn't. I was way to upset with the lose of my father and that Jasper was out there and on the loss to care about anything.
" Jacoby?" Officer James looked at me, waiting for my answer.
" I don't really care at the moment," I said, not meaning to sound as cold as I did.
" Alright, let's go then," I could tell by the tone of her voice that I had hurt her feelings, then again I didn't care.
