Hi, Dexter, something weird has happened... But I would like to talk not only about that. You know what I mean.
Dexter rang me at once after my message.
"Hi, Lucien..." His voice was calm and deep. "So... What has happened?"
I turned around wanting to be sure that Joshua isn't close and went to the kitchen.
"I don't know... I and Joshua have been in party in Ancient Ruins... Then suddenly he disappeared. I found him at home, he doesn't remember anything, except his name. And he acts like... a little scared boy..."
"Mhm... And you decided to talk to me about your boyfriend?" I felt a note of anger in Dexter's voice.
"Dexter..." I sighed. "I know it's silly, but I don't have anyone except you and Joshua! He's at my home! Confused, scared and totally unstable! I just need your advice, opinion or something else!"
The long silence. Dexter thought.
"OK..." Finally he said. "Let's meet us all in that Chinese bar near your home..."
I smiled widely. If even I knew Dexter will say Yes I still rejoiced.
"When?" I asked.
"Eighth of o'clock..."
"OK... Then see you soon!"
"See you!"
I hid my phone in the pocket and heard a cough behind my back. I turned back and looked at Joshua. He was still in his night wear.
"Dress up, Joshua," I said him. "We have to leave after two hours."
"And where we will go?" He peeked in the refrigerator.
"Just to have fun... It's not far away from home..."
"OK!" Joshua smiled. "I love parties!"
"Great..." I smiled back at him. "Then hurry up!"
Joshua grinned and ran almost jumping to the bathroom.
"He acts like a child..." I said watching Joshua.
"Well... Don't you think that it can be someone of vampires?" >Dexter asked me.
I shrugged.
"I don't know... Maybe..."
"Just remember the two holes on his neck... And later that website..."
"Do you mean Blog?"
"Yes..." Dexter nodded. "If I'm right... They can use some magic or something like this, no matter how crazy it sounds..."
"So do you think they erased his memory?" I glanced at Joshua again. "But I didn't notice any marks on his neck..."
"I don't think they bite every time..." Dexter looked at me. "If we want to find everything out we should go to "Transylvania" club in Forgotten Hollow."
"Do you think we'll meet vampires there?"
"We should..." Dexter nodded. "So any time when you'll be ready..."
"Thanks..." I smiled looking at his green eyes.
Dexter gave a sigh.
"So... Are you still angry at me for that what you've seen?" He asked me.
"I don't think I am angry at you... I was just... jealous..." I confessed feeling how my face's getting red.
"But why?" Dexter chuckled. "You don't need me!"
"I didn't say that! I just wanted us to calm down!"
"And isn't it the same, Lucien?"
"You play with me, Lucien... I don't like it..."
"And you? What are you doing with me, Dexter?" I retorted with playfully voice trying to save our good mood.
"So? Why are you silent? Because you play with me, too!" I grinned.
He shook his head.
"I don't play with you, Lucien. I just thought if you don't need me... Then why can't I have a bit fun? What could I do? Wait for you forever?"
I sighed. I had to admit that Dexter is right.
"Tell me, Lucien, do you love me?"
"Why do you ask me if you know the answer?"
"Because it's hard to believe in that..."
"And why?" I asked. "Just because I am with Joshua?"
"Yes, if you love me, than why you can't be with me? I am your soul twin!"
I glanced at Joshua. His lips trembled and it seemed like he's about to burst into tears. I could feel his fear and how unsafe he feels sitting alone there.
I looked at Dexter.
"Tell me something, please..."
"What can I tell you, Dexter? I love you... I feel like I know you since my birth if even not longer... There no words to describe my feelings... But I also love Joshua... And he needs me. He is helpless... Like a child."
"Yes... That's all what you can say me... I knew that, so... I'm not surprised at all."
"Dexter..."
He shook his head.
"Never mind, Lucien... Just live your life and take care of Joshua."
Dexter turned away and left me. I stood feeling how the sadness covers me. I was hurt to tears and didn't understand why. So... I was still confused and lost in my feelings. I was just disappointed in myself, in my life, in everything.
"Josh... Are you OK?" I asked coming to Joshua.
"I don't know... Why all these people are staring at us?"
"What people?" I asked looking around.
"These... Who are here..."
I turned looking around again. "Is he hallucinating or what?" I thought.
"Look, Joshua! Our life is already complicated and it seems like I can't stop this shit! You lost your memory and even can't remember who I am to you, Dexter thinks I manipulate him... So please... Don't complicate it even more!"
"Bullshit! Anyone doesn't know me here and I don't know them, too! You are the one who should know who I am, Josh!" I exclaimed.
"Who?"
Joshua didn't answer. He just cried.
"Who are they, Josh?"
"I... I don't... I don't know! Don't ask me! They do very bad and painful things!" Joshua sobbed.
I remembered what means when someone does "very bad and painful things" to you... I'm afraid I'll never forget it, so I understood Joshua and felt even more bad for him. I was sure that's not his fantasy if even I couldn't understand what about he talks.
I pulled Joshua by his hand. He stood up and followed me. Then I felt how someone looks at me. I stood up for short and turned back. It was Dexter. He held his glass and smiled looking at me.
That was one of the worst nights in my life.
