Chapter 18

"I can't..." I whispered, my head shaking furiously."You know I can't." I blinked back the tears gathering up in my lids.

Chris slowly made his way towards me, his eyes glued to my own. I bet he could see an internal battle going in my own eyes. I wanted to be able to love him and let him love me.....but......I've been stung before...specifically by werewolves, and Chris was a werewolf.

Arms wound their way around my waist and I was gently pushed back into the cold wall. 

"Come on....just trust me...please?" I felt his hot breath on my neck.

I closed my eyes to try and make sense of the thoughts and opinions flying around in my head, like they were a puzzle I just couldn't solve...not right now anyway.

Not right now. Chris started kissing up and down my neck, which did not help my concentration on the matter at hand at all. A small moan made its way up my throat and out my mouth incouraging Chris further more. 

His lips brushed against my own, barely touching them, sending little firework tingles down my spine. He repeated this until he settled them gently against my own, a slow, deep kiss.

I broke away for air and I felt a tickling going down my cheeks. I've been crying a lot more than usual lately.

"Let me sleep on it," I said pushing him back, as he was trying to get back to the kiss." I just need some time...to think about it. I'll try and tell you tomorrow." 

"Ok. I understand." Chris whispered as his hands slipped down my waist and fell to his sides. Pain etched across his face.

"Tomorrow." I told him and went on my tip toes to kiss him on his cheek. I raised my hand to stroke his cheek with my thumb. A tear fell down his cheek and landed on my hand.

"I'm sorry." I whispered and swiftly left the room. Tears blurred my vision as I tried to get up the stairs.

Stopping outside my bedroom door, I wiped the evidence of tears from my face with my hands noticing that I forgot the popcorn. I couldn't go down there again....

I opened the door and saw Mary on the floor stuffing Doritos in her face and staring blankly at the oppeing of Seven Pounds.

"Hey, we were out of popcorn," I lied."Sorry." I said and shrugged as I sat down beside her.

"It's ok...but why were you down there for so long." She asked.

"It was so hard trying to find the popcorn." I lied. Again.

"Mmhmm." She mumbled. What she meant by that I did not know.

I pressed play on the DVD player remote and watched as the begining flickered up with Will Smith calling the ambulance. 

The movie passed in a blur as I was too busy trying to solve the puzzle in my head. I got ready for bed and threw myself down when I had finished. 

Today was stressful. 

Mary walked out the bathroom and stared at me in concern as I laid down exhauseted on my bed. 

"Can I just tell you some advice," She asked as she made her way towards her red, red is her favourite colour, sleeping bag on the floor.

"Sure.." I said non-commitedly as I rolled under the blankets and onto my stomache. 

"Sometime in life....you have to take risks." She whispered.

"What?" I asked, truly confused even further now. How was that advice?! It did not help at all.

"Just remeber those words." She said as she finally got in to the sleeping bag."Goodnight!"

"Goodnight..." I whispered and fell asleep with thought whizzing through my head.

I woke up to a huge bird singing outside my window. I knew it was huge because it's tweeting was not soft but sounded like a geese. Stupid bird.

Throwing the blanket off my body, I quickly put my feet down on the ground and tried to avoid a sleep talking Mary on the floor.

"No...not the skittles..!!!Noo..." Mary murmered in her sleep. Wierdo, I thought as I laughed quietly and shook my head at her. 

I walked into the bathroom and quickly brushed my teeth and took a shower. 

Quickly getting dressed, I left the room and left Mary to her 'beauty' sleep. 

Trying as hard as possible I made my way down the stairs and saw a mess of black hair on the sofa. 

I sighed and slowly made my way towards him, my heart hammering in my chest...

I sat down slowly, looking at the way he looked so innocent in his sleep with his mouth partly open and snoring lightly. Lifting my hand up to his head, I softly stroked my hand through his soft hair and watched as his eyelids fluttered finally opening to look at me.

"Hailey.." 

"Hey." I whispered."I finally made my decision."

Chris looked nervous and his hand started shaking slightly on top of the blanket.

"Chris...I......"
