I kept my eyes on Darren’s father and he looked at me then I felt like we were having a battle until I heard Darren say “What are you doing?” I kept staring at his dad and said “I’m waiting for my question to be answered” then Darren’s dad started laughing I sighed and looked at the time 12:32 pm “Why so interested on the time?” Winnie asked I looked at her and said “I don’t know it’s been a habit of mine to always look at the time” I looked at my plate and saw it was empty “Well umm are you going to tell me?” I asked and then he said “Why don’t you guess?” I rubbed my head and pushed back my hair back then whispered mate until I got it in “Well a mate you can say that to a friend right like “Hey mate?” or “What’s up mate?” right?” then saw him smile and Winnie laugh .
“You could say that, yes a friend but more” I thought and said “Boy friend, girl friend umm together?” I guessed then he nodded and I got confused “W-wait how can it be?” I asked he sighed and said “A mate is the other half of yourself, they are what completes you” I laughed and laughed till my sides started hurting “Y-you can’t be serious it sounds tacky, you too the way you said it” I heard a laugh then he said “Yes it may seem tacky but it’s true they are also the only one for you so you stay with them forever” I looked at him seriously and said “That can never happen I mean that part must be fake ‘cause that can never happen in life” I saw him grin and say “You sure?” and that’s what gets me off guard.
“Yes I’m sure. I’m completely, and 1000% sure” I said then Winnie laughed “Okay whatever uncle you look like your having fun?” I looked at the clock and saw it was close to 1o’clock pm “I have to go home I mean not that I don’t like you people but I really want to be home” I said then heard Jonathan say no I looked at him shocked. “What are you going to do about it?” I said to him and got up and left the room then I quickly went toward the door but then I saw a random person covering the way “Umm just tell me what you want from me and I’ll do it” I said then I heard him say “Stay with us since you know our secret stay with us” my eyes widened in shock “Why can’t you guys keep an eye on me, kill me if I tell anyone?”
“We can’t Jeanette” Winnie said sadly “No I got to go home forget it I have to” I said and tried to push the guy away from the door but he didn’t budge “What’s so important about the house?” I heard Darren said “I don’t know it’s just I won’t feel safe here only in that house will I ever feel safe. I need to be there.” I said then felt tears about to come down my cheeks but they didn’t “We can protect you, I mean come on were werewolves’” I heard Winnie say then I looked at her and said “What about others that are not in your pack how are you going to protect me from them huh?” then saw her look down then I saw Darren’s dad come in and look at me “She’s right, but I promise you we will keep you safe”
I laughed a bitter laugh and said “What if you can’t” I said harsher then I meant to “then you can leave this house but we’ll still make sure you won’t tell” he said “But the thing is I’m not going to tell and even if I do. . .” I took a deep breath and pointed at him “Even if I do; do you think they’ll believe me?” no one answered I rubbed my head and said “Well they won’t they’ll throw me in a mental hospital” there was silence then I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to see it was Serena –What is she doing here? - I thought then I heard Jo say -She must of already known- I looked at her then said “Why, how, when?” then she shouted my name I didn’t know why then I knew I must of fainted stupid.
I woke up to hear Serena, Liam, Darren, and Winnie’s voice screaming at each other in a hushed tone then they all shushed each other “Okay so we have make her agree to staying” Winnie said “Simple I mean we already got Serena and me here” then I heard Darren and Serena say “She’s not easy to deal with” then Liam said “Why don’t we let her go and just make sure she doesn’t tell I mean what’s wrong with that?” then I heard Winnie whine and say “But I want her to stay here I mean we could have fun the three of us right?” then Serena laughed and said “Yeah if you could make her, Jeanette has always been independent and that house was where her father died since her mother was never there for her she only had one person to depend on”
-How dare she do that to me, how dare her! - I thought then I felt my body shaking in anger then heard Jo say –Calm down they can tell how you feel and your just oozing out anger and hatred! - I didn’t care I blocked out everything and built myself walls on my thoughts and heart “You know she scared me when I saw the way her eyes were when she was at the funeral with her other family member, she looked alone and she didn’t even go into the church even though she was supposed say something about her dad” then I heard Liam ask “So what did she do?” then that’s when I started to get twice as angry and hurt “She waited till everyone left and till I left to and she went inside, I don’t even know what she did”
I carefully got off the bed and went into the closest bathroom and slammed it then locked it behind me and sat on the floor just staring at the ceiling hearing footsteps coming closer than a knock and Darren saying “Jeanette?” I didn’t dare to breath or move, I kept staring at the ceiling then heard more knocking and more people calling my name but the sweet thing is that I also couldn’t hear them each time their voices become faint like a dream that I wished my life is. I starred at the toilet then remembered when I was 3 and I was potty training “Daddy I did it look I’m doing it!” I shouted “Alright honey now you’re going to be a big girl” I smiled then I remembered when I was 10 “Dad you know today there’s going to be a comet that only comes every 100 years it’s coming today can we watch it?’’ then saw him look at me “Sure honey after dinner we’ll go to the balcony and camp out there and maybe have some hot chocolate and croissants” I smiled and hugged him “Thanks”
Then I remembered that day I saw him and he told me “Let’s have fun for the next 2 weeks” when he came home, I stared t him and said “But I have school dad what’s with you?” then he looked straight at me and hugged me and said “Jeanette you know I love you right?” I nodded and said “Yeah you’re my dad” then he said “Don’t go to school for the next 2 weeks were going on vacation” I looked at him and said “Are you serious where?” he just said “Let’s go camping, then we can go to a hotel somewhere in L.A and then we can go to the beach” I laughed and said “You got a deal” I shook his hand and he pulled me into another hug.
Then before I Knew it when we came home I started to unpack and then I heard the balcony door shut then I got up and ran towards the door and opened it to see dad on the ground not moving “Dad?” I whispered then shouted “DAD PLEASE DAD I NEED YOU!” then I thought it’s joke dad always jokes around with me “Come on dad not funny get up now, please get up then I started to feel tears go down my face not stopping then I said “Stupid get up dad, I need you, I need you” I whispered then laid next to him. Then before I know it I saw people in the house taking his body “NO DAD .DON’T TAKE AWAY THE ONLY PERSON I CARE ABOUUTT!” I shouted while somebody held me back. Then during the funeral I found out he died of cancer.
I looked at the ceiling and felt tears streaming down my eyes and then heard the shouting getting louder and louder, I got up and opened the bathroom sink and washed my face then looked at the cabinet for any make up, then I found some and put cover up on my face so They wouldn’t know I was crying and then saw scissors. I looked at my long hair and the scissors then just left it. Then I closed the sink and bottled up everything then unlocked the door to see everyone’s face looking worried “Jeanette?” I heard Serena say I looked at her and she gasped “Yes?” I said like nothing was wrong, then saw Liam look at Serena crying and went to her “Oh so that’s why Serena knows she’s your mate huh Liam?” I said then he just said “Yeah” then I got closer to Serena and saw her walk away.
“What’s wrong I thought you were my friend?” I asked then Liam said “back off Jeanette your scaring her” I got pissed “How am I getting her scared?!” then I saw Serena whisper “What happened to you in there Jeanette?” I stared at her then smirked “Nothing I needed to use the toilet” then Winnie said “But you’ve been there for 2 hours” I looked at her confused then said “No I’ve only been there for 5 minutes, man are you guys on something ‘cause if you are you got to stop taking it” then I laughed then saw Winnie and Serena flinch.
