Aubrey Wants To Die – Pip Knight

Pretend she misunderstood. That I’d never met a Kenny. But she won’t fall for that. So what would I say if I wasn’t a vampire? If I wasn’t scared that I’d get blamed? Found out. I start to type. OMG! Yes, that’s the guy, the one I told you about, Kenny! I can’t believe he’s dead! Good, good, good. I’ll def ask around as soon as I’m back at work! I wait for a reply, my hands shaking.

Beep. Sally: Well keep me posted on anything you find out, okay? How are you doing otherwise? Are you away for Christmas? In-laws here FML . . . I stare at it, not sure what to reply but knowing it’ll look really suspicious if I type nothing. So what would I say if I really believed this was all good news?

I decide on: Of course, I’ll let you know the moment I hear anything! And then, I sign off and put myself back to bed. 1kitap1.com/en I’m woken by someone banging on the door. Adrenaline sparks in my veins and I pull the covers to my chest as I stare towards it. The sky outside is dark now, no light seeping in around the edges of the blinds. Is it Riley? The police? Something worse? I want to escape, but I can’t.

This flat only has one window—that’s why I bloody rented it—and that’s right by the front door. I’m stuck. I tiptoe over to the door, then carefully look through the peephole and . . . just great. Just when I think things can’t get any worse. Because it’s Oscar, his eyes glowing green and gold as he frowns at me through the peephole. A heat boils within me. He is the reason Kenny is on that noticeboard. He is the reason Sally or Riley might get suspicious and figure out what I am.

He is like a grenade that has rolled into my life and I can’t find the pin to put it back in. I want to ignore him. Tell him to go away. But he’ll just open the door himself.

It rolls in with the mulled wine and the fake Santas and the Christmas lights on Oxford Street, around the time everyone starts mumbling about seasonal affective disorder like it’ll kill you. It rolls in with no warning and casts an intoxicating magic, the kind that belongs in story books. The kind that makes you want to stand still forever, lose yourself and just breathe it in. He was like that fog. He stopped me in my tracks and reminded me of what it was to have a heartbeat. So that’s how I ended up here, at Archway tube station, wearing huge sunglasses at 9.07 pm in case I cry.

I look up at the board: three minutes. The next train is due in three minutes. I just need to hold it together for three more minutes. Then I’ll be on my way home. I can do this. The platform reeks of urine, and I can hear rats scuttling in the distance.
