Silver Satin (Book Two)

9

(AN: this is just a little filler, just a short moment with Eden and James and a sweet AWWW moment with Eden and Lucas, this kinda makes the bond between Eden and Lucas stronger :) As for James....what do you all think of him? -0pal)

9.

"Wait, it wasnt what you think," I stammered. Than I scolded myself. Wasnt it though? I moved away from Lucas, because even though what he said made a resemblance of sense, I couldnt think about James like that. Sure he was my highly obnoxious Bio teacher, who mated on me the moment he saw mme, he was under Juliannes control once and technically he could take me at any time and I could die before I even had the chance to live, but I trusted him. 

Lucas looked at me with wide eyes. He couldnt believe that after what he had just told me I was going to just crawl on over to James. But thats just what I did, except i walked instead. "Really Eden just go over there after everything I just told you!" Lucas snapped. "Im sorry but I just dont think he's capable of doing that," I replied. James slipped a hand around my waist. "Im sorry,' I whispered to him. "No worries,' he said as he leaned in to kiss my temple. "Its going to take a little bit to make him realize that I dont want to hurt you," he said as Lucas got up and left the room slamming the door behind him. 

"So how much did you really hear?" I asked. James sighed. "All of it, that the dream wasnt about me and that he thinks that im just playing you, the dream can be deciphered, its not important, but what is important is that you dont think that im still on her side." he told me. "I dont know what to think to be honest, but I would rather you be on the winning side, and thats my side," I told him. He walked away from me and to the bed. He sat down and looked up at me from across the room. "you need to go to him you know, you're the only one who can calm him down," he told me. I sighed, knowing that he was right and then I left the room in pretty much the same fashion that Lucas had. 

He was sitting on the hood of the car brooding. I looked around the lot and noticed that it was still dark and still looked eerie. I sat down on the hood of the car next to him. "Im not trying to cause a rift between all of us, i trust you and i trust him." I said. "eden he just jumped sides like he was jumping over a crack in the sidewalk. He cant be trusted." Lucas told me. 'He got us this far didnt he? He got us out and away from Alen and his little band of idiots, why cant you just trust him to get us to wherever we are going?" I asked. 

Lucas ran his hand through his hair. "First off you got us away from Alen, Uncle Jax taught you well and second off I dont want to trust him because if I do and im right to begin with, or hell even if im wrong, im loosing you either way, and I cant loose you," he turned to face me and I saw the anguish in his eyes and the pain that crossed his features. 

"Im always going to be here, I made it through 17 years and I havent left your side once, Im not planning on doing that anytime soon," I told him. "Remember when we were what...4? and Uncle Jax was just getting me started on conjuring up Energy?" I asked. Lucas nodded. "Who was right by my side when I tried?" Lucas sighed. "I was,' he replied. "How about when  we were 13 and I found out that I started my period, who ran to Union to get me tampons?" Lucas cringed. "i did,' he replied again. "Whos been there for me through every argument Ive had with my family, and every fight Ive had with the pack and everything in between?" I questioned. "I have' he said softly. "Exactly, you've been there with me through all of this and I couldnt be more grateful. I want to trust your instinct I really do, but right now I feel the need to trust mine, can you just go with the flow for once?" I implored. 

He was silent. "anything for you Eden," he finally said.
