14. Truth ? Lie ?

Mandy pov

The picnic lunch that Andy took us was great. Andy loves to cook when we were high school but our activity was getting more and more so that we have given up to our hobbies or activities. His cooking was remarkably delicious not to mention how he knows exactly our favorable taste be like. He made me the spaghetti as he understands that I like Italian and chessy food. Unlike me, Annie loves spicy meals but she can eat others as well as she loves to eat just like I do. Unfortunately, I can not stand spicy food, but now my tolerance of spicy is increasing as I used to go for culinary trip with Annie and Andy who love spicy meal.

The scenery that we saw during the picnic was also nice. It soothes our tension that is caused by the  rally of finals. The sound of the water calmed our mind and so does the fresh air. We were also able to play a bit to feel the wind and the fresh water of the river. I wished that I could spend more time there.

The moment when they brought my health issue was a bit confusing. I always think that I am OK as I am highly spirited to do all of my activities. But both of them could see that I did not blush as much as I used to be. It was kinda thoughtful that they really care for me. I am so blessed to have them around.

When Annie said that I looked like someone who lost her blood, I remembered all the power that Jamie could do. The blood sucking must have been the one who give me the state of my health issue. My confession about Jamie did shocked them but they remained calm as they are sure that there is always time for everything. They insisted me to check my health and I would do that.

I saw my below eyes in the mirror and I was shocked to see that it was really pale that there was no symptoms of blood vessel in it. Annie was right for telling me that I was blood draining. I needed to check my blood check up right away.

As the fact that I was draining came,  I was starting to question Jamie's statement. He mentioned his ability to suck my blood that he needs to control. Under certain circumstances, he can loose his power to control his ability. Now I understand why it is hard for us to stand for each other. We are two different creatures that can not be united. WE ARE LIKE RIVALS to each other rather than friend in need.

My inner thought also questioned whether Jamie really can not control his emotion or he was actually playing with me, he made me his prey. I would never understand that unless I was in his shoes.

"Mandy, are you all right?" Annie was calling me several times but I was really deep in my thoughts.

"I do not know Ann, I am confused with this situation."

"After knowing the result, you should be able to take action. Do not confused by your thoughts. It is clear that Jamie is dangerous for you."

"I know that but he also told me his situation and how should I respond to that. He told me his weakness. I just realized that this is a big situation that we will face, I will never understand the situation if you did not tell me my health issue."

"You really love him that much ya?"

"I guess I am."

"Every couple must have their own difficulties, you two need to figure them out. I can not force you to do what I told you because in the end it is you who will face this situation. I wish it could be easy for you."

I just nodded to the fact that Annie stated. Maybe I know what the best for me but I still need to give this love a chance. I will always be wondered if Jamie was lying or telling me the truth about his condition and the problem that we will have till the end of our love.

His eternal life will also be a burden for our love not just his power. How can I make it easier? Of course leaving him will always be the easiest solution. But in this term, I do not want to give up yet. I need to make sure that this love has future and it is worth to be fight for. I need to make the decision right away before I will finally drain in this bloody love.
