Ok, I'm a-posting, Cause YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU asked for it.
Chapter Six (I'm too lazy to translate it):
“I don’t like keeping this from my brothers.” Joe sighed.
“You never kept secrets from them before?” I put my book down. He sat down on the bed in front of me.
“Nothing as big as this. My whole life has changed. I’m not even human anymore.”
“So, tell them. Either they accept it and move on, or they will try to change you back.”
“Is it possible for me to change back?” He looked hopeful.
“Joe, I’ve been around for quite a while now and I’ve never seen anyone reverse the change. I know that’s not what you want to hear.”
“But I don’t want to live forever. How am I supposed to fall in love? Anyone I meet will die while I will just go on living. I will have to bury my whole family. Granted, I will still look amazing while doing so, but I…”
“You know, I’ve never met anyone who could sound so heartbroken and still be conceited. You’re a first.” That didn’t get the smile I had been going for.
“Nisha, you don’t understand…”
“What, you think I’ve never lost anyone I cared about? You think I’ve gone my whole life without losing family?” Ugh, he irritated me.
“Nisha, it’s not the same.” He protested. I grabbed his hand and held it to my chest.
“You feel that? That’s my heart beat. Just because I don’t die doesn’t mean I don’t feel.” Man, it had been decades since I cried. What was going on with this kid? I dropped his hand and pushed him off my bed. Then I pushed him back into his room.
“Nisha…”
“Grow up, Joseph. The whole world does not revolve around you.” I slammed the door shut and locked it. True, the lock couldn’t hold him back if he really wanted in, but maybe he’d take the hint and leave me alone. Then I laid back down on my bed and cried myself to sleep.
