Just like that a month went by.and you'd think by now,Kaiden is probably,better self controlled.but let me tell you,he's not.i initially thought,because it was his first time with everything,he'd get accustomed to it eventually.boy,was I wrong.with every passing day,he gets more and more clingy.and honesty,I love that.
Infront of every one else,he's still the cold,unapproachable,Kaiden Scott.but when it was just the two well,you already know.
I still hadn't told Jackson or Uncle Roy,but I think they've already guessed it by now.and yet,none of them have brought up anything.So for the time being,it was just me and Ana.After the Laura incident,our relationship was official and she backed off,Kira still didn't like me but I didn't mind. Everything else at school was fine,the treehouse became our hideout.we'd have study sessions for tests and exams,in our free time;we'd watched the sunset,have picnics and of course make out,a lot.So this month in Seattle,had been amazing.but of course,the universe had other plans.
"I like Jackson" Debby said
"Are you high?!" I asked shocked
"Oh come on,Aliyah. He's super cute and we-"
"You what?" I asked as she stummered
"We kinda sorta made out"she confessed
"When?!"
"Uhm a lot,whenever I came over"she said nervously
"What? Debby?! Why didn't you tell me any of this?!"
"Cause you were so busy and occupied with Kaiden" she said
"Seriously,We've been that clingy!" I asked and she nodded "I'm sorry Debby.but really my brother! Why?"
"Because I like him.I don't want us to be those friends who break up,cause of a secret affair with the brother" she said and I laughed
"I still don't get your choice in men,but as long as your happy" I said and she beamed
"Baby!" Kaiden called as he sneaked a kiss on my cheek,from behind and I chuckled.
"Hey Debby" he said and came beside me
"I idolize you two"she said and he grinned
"See,she loves us"he teased
"I'm taking her now"he said dragging me away
"I'm used it already!" She yelled and we left
"I gotta be home early today"I said immediately
"Okay! We're taking my bike then" he said.holding hands,as we got onto his bike and drove off.
We went back to the pond.without saying a word,we went and sat by the grass near the bank.
"We haven't been here in a while" I said
"Anhaa,I wanted to take you back to where it all started."he said and removed a black case and handed it to me.
I received it and opened whilst maintaining eye contact with him,It revealed a black beautiful charm bracelet with a crescent blue moon.
"Happy anniversary"he said taking it and placing it on my hand
Overwhelmed with emotions,I hugged him tightly."thank you babe,it's beautiful"
"Now I feel bad,cause I don't have anything to give you" I said guilty
"Relax,you're all I need" he said kissed me
"Did you read that from a book? Or is it movie?"I teased
"Romance movies"he teased back and I laughed
"You'll come watch me play tomorrow?!" He asked
"Of course,I will" I replied
I've never got a chance to watch his games,cause of dance class.so now that the championship game is tomorrow,there won't be any classes and I can finally see him play.
"Come on lets go,you'll get late" he said and we got up to leave "I'll have something delivered to you tomorrow morning"
"Another gift!?" I asked
"No.just a little something,you'll come watch the game by the bench"
"Oh no,I'll seat with Debby. she'll feel left out"
"Then come with her,it's okay"
"Alright then"I replied and he drove me home
"When can I come in?"he asked outside
"I'll talk to them today" I replied and he smiled
"Bye princess" he said kissed me on the cheek then left,and as always I got in smiling to myself.
"What's so important,Uncle Roy?!" I asked placing my bag on the couch to take a seat
"I'm glad your back,this is a serious issue,Aliyah."Uncle Roy said as Jackson too,descended the stairs.
"What is it Uncle?! You're scaring me?" I replied seating up
"Aliyah,it's time you know what really happened to our parents"Jackson said
"Wh-what do you mean? They got into an accident and died"I stammered
"No.thats what we told you happened,they didn't get into an accident,they were killed!"Jackson said
"What?" I uttered.and they finally explained everything to me.
From our parents being wolf hunters,from the mission they did that led to there attack,and human wolves being shapeshifter.tears couldn't stop streaming from my face,as I wiped them away.
"Our parents were killed by a merciless and ruthless werewolf,and we became orphans that night. I'm sorry that we kept this from you,but this is what our parents wanted.we have the chance to avenge them,by fulfilling there mission"
"Y-You know the killer?" I asked in a dry low voice
"Yes,Aliyah.the killer is a shapeshifter." He said,gathering up the courage
"Kaiden Scott"
I felt my heart shutter into pieces,as he finished the name.and I was numb.
"No! No! Jackson you're wrong?" I stummered with my voice still low.
"We checked!" He said handing me the medical reports and I read through the DNA results as it showed positive
"Aliyah,I don't know what intentions he has with you.but the moment he realizes who our parents are,what do you think he would do?"
"It could be a trap,to this point is there anything you know about him? Has he ever told you anything? No right? You wanna tell me you haven't noticed anything weird at all,not once?" Jackson yelled,as I recalled his tattoo,the way he scared of that wolf with a glance,his abnormal warmth at all times,the healing,his strength.
"Aliyah,we want to avenge your parents because they deserve that much! And the only way we can do that,is if you help us.So who's side are you on? Us or it" Uncle Roy said
"My parents were also killed by them,if it wasn't for this man.I don't know what would have happened to me."Austin said appearing from the door "I can imagine the pain and confusion that you're going through right now,but what about them? Our parents died unjustly so,and they just move on with there lives,as if it were nothing! Do they deserve our forgiveness?!" He said adding fuel to the flame
"Little sister,you'll meet other guys,trust me.him! He's not the one" Jackson said and I rushed upstairs not be able to take it anymore.
As soon as I got in bed,I cried my heart out.as memories of my parents leaving,played in my mind.Is that it? Everything that happened,was a lie!
"He lied to me.He took what I valued most in my life.I'm so stupid!" I thought and cried even more.
My tears didn't seem to have an end,as I cried to what was an hour,until I could no longer cry anymore.deep down,I knew what I had to do,and that's what hurt me even more.just then my phone rang and it was Debby.
"Hello" I said in a whisper
"Aliyah,what's wrong?" She asked in a panick
"Nothing,we were watching a sad movie and I cried my eyes out in the end" I said trying to laugh it off
"Ohh silly,you scared me! We're still watching the game together tomorrow right?" She asked and I recalled what I'd already forgotten
"Anhaa of course,Kaiden said we could seat by the bench and watch the match firsthand" I replied
"Ohh Yes!! He's the best,can't wait for tomorrow! Wear something blue to support the team"
"I will,later Debby" I said and hanged up
I got up to take a shower and laid in bed drained.i look at my hand and noticed the bracelet he gave me and tears clouded my eyes again.i wipes them off and decided to get some rest.i fell asleep in no time and woke 4hrs later with a knock on the door
"Go away!" I snapped in a crispy voice
But instead the door opened and Ana came in with a tray of food and placed it on the table beside me
"Have something to eat Ms,there's also a jar of aspirins for your head"she politely said and left getting no response as I had slept facing the other way
I turned to look at the tray,but didn't feel like eating anything so I just closed my eyes and some tears still streamed down
Until I suddenly heard a knock from the window that startled me awake.i looked over and realized it was coming from the glass door leading to the balcony.un sure I waited a bit until I saw a dark shadow knock once again.
Getting up cautiously,I slowly made my way to the door and opened it ready to attack,only to see the invader was none other than my boyfriend.who immediately hugged me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked my voice still raspy
He went over to my door and locked it as I closed the glass door
"I was calling you and you didn't answer,and Debby said she was worried.so I came over" he said seating in bed
The lights were off so he couldn't see my now swollen face,and I casually sat beside him.
"I'm sorry,I fell asleep and didn't hear your call" I replied
"What's wrong princess? Why are you crying?"he asked stoking my face
"How did you know that?" I asked
"Your swollen eyes and cheeks,raspy voice,runny nose.come here" he said and pulled me into his embrace and I started crying again
"Shhh it's okay I'm right here!"He said hugging me close and wrapping me in the blanket as we laid in bed
How could something so wrong feel so right? You are the last person I want to see and yet I don't want you to go.Why is it that in your arms is where I feel the safest? How could you?
"It's nothing,I just missed my parents" I said laying on his chest
"Am sorry that they couldn't be here"he said and I was shocked
"How do you know they died?" I asked in thoughts
"But I am."he said comfortingly "I'm right here and I always will"he said and hugged me tighter
"Come on eat something,I can see you haven't eaten at all"he said searing us up and drugging the tray onto us
"I don't feel like-"
"Sshh" he said and fed me the food from the plate
Before I knew it I was eating and the food was finished.he also took some aspirins and handed them to me and I drank them up,then we laid back in bed again
"Get some rest! I'll stay right here" he said and cuddling me
"Kaiden?"
"Mmhhh"
"Where are you're parents? Where do you stay?" I asked
"My parents are dead.thats a story for another day.try to get some rest" he said
"I hate you! I hate you so much! How will I do this now,When-
I've fallen in love with you."
