Runaway-Isaac Lahey

part eight

It was finally the weekend. I had no plans. I was gonna sleep in and lay back. I had fully healed and i was feeling better than ever. I woke up around 12 pm and felt like i could run a marathon. I was in such a good mood. I slept perfectly and woke perfectly.

I got into the shower and played music. I wasnt a horrible singer but i wasnt the best, i just could be better. I was always told i could sing but i was too scared to ever sing in front of people. Once i got out the shower and dried off i changed into a crop top and sweats. I put my hair back into french braids and put on my glasses. I went to go mank lunch until my phone started going crazy.

It wouldnt stop going off. I checked my phone and there was just a bunch of things about people being paralyzed. Weird. I sat down and ate an apple before going back to my room and laying down. I got text from a random number.

Unknown: hey

Carla: hello???

Unknown: i was wondering if you wanted to hang out.

Carla: What?! I dont even know who you are.

Unknown: Oh yea, its Isaac.

Oh great. How did he have my number, why did he have my number, and when did he get it. Maybe i would listen to him this time. Maybe he isnt so bad. I just dont get a good feeling.

Carla: Maybe. Depends where. And when. And why. Why are you all of a sudden all interested in me?

Isaac: I just wanted to hang out. I dont get the big deal. Idk why you hate me.

Carla: Fine. Ill hang out with you and we will see what happens.

Isaac: Ok. 3 pm. Ill pick you up. Just wear casual clothes.

Carla: Ok fine but i better not regret this.

And i was going out with Isaac. Well not going out but hanging out. It was already 1:30 so i decided id change into skinny jeans and a baggy black shirt. I put just a little makeup on and i was ready. I just had to wait an hour for him to pick me up. I went to put on some shoes and sat on the couch. I scrolled on social media for a bit. I heard a car pull into the driveway so i grabbed my stuff and opened the door to leave. I texted the twins i would be back in a few hours just so they knew i was gone, but i didnt tell them where or what i was doing.

I got into the passenger seat and he turned down the radio. "So where are we going and/or what are we doing?"

"Well we can get food and then i dont know."

"Ok. Wasnt really planned out but whatever."

We stopped and got burgers and then started talking about anything really.

"So who are your parents?" He asked me

I kinda choked on my drink when he asked me this. I didnt know if i was gonna tell him i never met my biological parents, or if i should tell him i was adopted, or that i live with the Wells.

"Its kinda complicated. Whos yours?"

"Oh yea same." Well now it was awkward.

"Well i never met my parents-" "My parents are dead." We both said at the same time. Now it was REALLY awkward. After sitting there waiting for the other to talk for a minute i finally spoke up.

"I was adopted but ran away so i live with Reese and Zoe."

"Oh well my parents are dead. That guy in the car the night we "met", that was my dad."

"I- im sorry." I felt horrible. "Then who were you with the night that we went to dinner?"

"That was my aunt and uncle, ive been staying with them."

"Oh, cool." We sat and talked for about an hour in the parking lot before we decided it was best to start heading home. On the way back there was one question that i was thinking about asking but i didnt wanna sk too much. Oh well here goes. "Were you in the woods the other night? Like the night of the party?"

He looked over at me confused. "Uh- no why?" Well if he isnt the other werewolf who was it?

"Umm no reason i just thought i saw someone and i thought it was you."

"Nope wasnt me. Why were you in the woods anyway?" Now how was i gonna answer that? I couldnt just tell him 'oh yea im a werewolf that was in the middle of the woods during the night of the full moon with my foot caught up in a bear trap and a bullet in my arm.'

"Just walking." Easiest answer i could think of and i sounded pretty convincing.

"Hmm ok."

Once he dropped me off i walked inside to see the family eating.

"And where did you go?" Zoe asked.

"I went to hang out and get food with Isaac," I said while placing my stuff down and going to sit at the table.

"ISAAC?? LAHEY?? The one you hate?" She asked while looking surprised.

"Well... yea but he isnt that bad." I got up and left the table while smiling. And i could just feel them staring at me with their mouths wide open in disbelief.
