Blood Dripping Fingertips - Meghan Escott (acx book reading .txt) 📗

/> By the end I was whipping tears from my face but trying to keep a straight face. I knew it was over when Sam suddenly stopped and put some bandages on the table. He then left. I quickly wound the bandages onto my legs and onto my arms and pulled my trouser legs down.
I got up and went into my bedroom where Josh had been studying the drawings I had done that day. He had pinned them up nearer the middle of the wall in chronological order. I didn’t know how he knew the order but he just did. I sat on the bed next to him and said my thanks. He turned towards me and looked at me with those green eyes.
“Is your back any better?” He asked.
“Yeah. Loads better. Why?”
“Because.” And then he was on top of me. He has his hands on my waist and mine were on his chest. He was kissing me and he was going at a good rhythm with his tongue. While he was still kissing me, he started undoing the buttons of my blouse. He started kissing me up and down my neck and down my chest where my blouse had been.
Did I really want to do this? I’d never had sex before and I wanted to be sure that the first time I did it with someone was because of love not because of a spur-of-the-moment thing.
“Please stop Josh. I’m not ready for this yet.” I said to him grabbing his hands to get his attention. He looked up at me and then nodded. He pulled away from me and helped me to sit up. I did the buttons of my blouse up and looked at Josh. He was defiantly ready!
“Thanks for understanding.” I said to Josh getting up from the bed. I went into the bathroom to get my make up off and when I came out, Josh was lying on my bed with his head facing the bathroom door. I lay down next to him and ended up going to sleep, holding his hand and snuggled into him.


Chapter Twenty

Today was a completely normal day and I got more cuts through Thought Control and Mental Activity. I didn’t think they would find anywhere else to cut but they did and that place was my belly. Professor Alcove did vertical cuts and Sam cut through them horizontally. Sam made me take off my shirt so he could get an easier way to cut me.
After Sam had left, I and Josh talked about the next day. I would have to do some of the school portrait that day and my parents would be coming to visit for two days. I would have hardly any time with Josh in the morning because Professor Blake was making me get up so early so I could complete all the teachers that day.
I started to tidy my room with Josh admiring me. When I got to the bedroom he helped a bit but that was only to pick up my bras and knickers from the floor and in and around my wardrobe. He examined them extensively before handing them to me.
When my room was tidy, I packed up some art things for the next day and started listening to Josh’s thoughts.
If her parents like me, maybe she will have sex with me. She is so beautiful when she is just doing everyday things. She has some sexy looking underwear. Wish I could see them on her rather then have to imagine them. I wonder what all of the pictures mean that she has been drawing. The order I put them in was right I’m guessing since she hasn’t moved them. The girl always looks like her. I wonder if they are scenes from her life.
I couldn’t stand listening to him any more so I shut off my mind like Sam had shown me and then collapsed on my bed. Josh came over to me bed and slid in next to me. I snuggled into him. He kissed me on the neck and then I fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off. I whacked it to shut it up and got out of bed. Josh had gone but left me a note. It read:
You look gorgeous when you sleep. Wish I could have stayed forever.

I smiled at it then hurriedly put on some clothes and some make up I picked up the bag I had packed the night before, slipped two bottles of blood into it and then set off to the Drawing and Art room to meet Professor Blake and other teachers.
When I got there, there was a crowd of people in the room. They were all teachers because they had no marks on their cheeks but on their necks. One by one, they got sat down in front of me and I drew their mark. I told Professor Blake to keep an eye on my drawings and then tap me on the shoulder or cough when it was done.
When the teachers were milling around, I noticed Sam, sat in the corner of the room looking at me. I wondered what he was doing here, since he isn’t a qualified teacher yet but then in dawned on me. He was here to make sure I didn’t get tired and pass out. He probably didn’t know that I had it under control and that every ten drawings I did, I had some blood. This kept me going for the whole of the morning. I must have drawn hundreds of drawings that morning by the look of the pile on Professor Blake’s desk.
After some discussion, between me, Sam and Professor Blake, we decided that we would do one quarter of the year 4 students and then we would quit for that day since I would probably get tired more easily.
Once again, the students were sat in front of me and I drew. This time I had to drink after every five students. I managed one quarter but I would have preferred less for my first day at the job but the Professors thought my amount was reasonable and if I carried on like this, I would get it done in no more than two months. I was delighted by that prospect and downed the rest of my blood.
On the walk back up to my room, I staggered once and I had to sit down and regain control of myself. When I did get up to my room, Josh was sat on my sofa. He got up and walked towards me wanting a hug but I held up my finger. I walked over to the fridge and got out another bottle of blood. I took huge gulps of it and had nearly finished it when I felt much better.
I went over to Josh and hugged him and kissed him. I was just looking at my watch and thinking my mum was never late when there was a knock on my door. I untangled myself from Josh and opened the door. My mum was standing with her brown eyes staring at the name on the front of the door. She was obviously in awe at the colour and at the designs compared to the rest of them. My dad was just behind my mum and he had a smile on his face.
I had expected to just see the two of them together. I came out of my room and gave my mum a huge hug. She smelled like home. I let go of mum and went over to my dad. I gave him a huge hug but released him when I saw who was behind him. Tom was standing awkwardly against the wall opposite to my door. Angela was keeping an eye on him from down the hall and so was Sam who rounded the corner and stood with Angela. He whispered something into her ear and she nodded, never taking her eyes off Tom.
I pulled away from my dad and turned to my mum. “Why did you bring him with you? I thought it was just going to be you guys.” I said nodding to Tom. “I told you what he did to me. I don’t want to see him.” I said looking between my mum and my dad. Josh was at the door of my room and was staring at Tom daring him to do anything. Tom was staring straight back doing the same.
I walked over to Josh and rubbed his arm trying to calm him down. It seemed to work because he glanced down in time to see me shaking my head, looking up at him. I jerked my head towards my door and mum, dad and Tom walked in behind me. I shut the door behind me after leaning out and shaking my head at Sam and Angela who looked angry but calm enough.
I sat everyone down on the sofa and passed around drinks. Tea for mum, dad and Tom and I chucked Josh a bottle of blood while taking a sip out of one myself. “Wouldn’t you prefer it straight from the source?” Tom said to me mockingly, pointing at his neck where my bite mark was still showing. Josh winced while I muttered a spell under my breath. Tom’s arms caught on fire and he started screaming. I clicked my fingers and the flames went out. He looked from his arms to me with astonishment. “Any more comment Tom?” I asked him sarcastically. He shook his head vigorously and looked away from me.
Josh walked over to me. “Calm down. Calm down Lucy. Magic Control isn’t working for you.” He said clicking his fingers to get my attention then gripping my hand. “Calm yourself. You want to be good with your parents around don’t you?” He said squeezing my hand and kissing my cheek. When he turned so I could see my parents, both had their mouths wide open and staring at me. My mum was crying uncontrollably. I got a tissue out of my pocket and gave it to her. She dabbed her eyes while I calmed down.
“What happened to you arms? You turned emo or something?” Tom said to me when my back was turned. I whirled around, anger getting the better of me. “Yes Tom. I have turned emo. And I will show you the extent of my obsession shall I? I think I will” I walked over to where he was cowering in his seat. I lifted up my shirt to show him my stomach. I lifted up my trouser legs and undid the bandages and showed him what Sam had done to my legs. I then turned my back to him and lifted my blouse up at the back so he could see my cut back. I ripped off the bandages and put them on the floor the put my shirt back down and turned to meet his gaze. “You really don’t know me do you Tom. I would never ever do something
