The Way Things Are

Chapter 7

"Why are you here?" I ask Emma after she explains who she is.

"Like I said before, I am tracking down Andy, and his scent led me here. I need to know where he is. He thought that he left me for dead after I heard his plan to kill off all of the werewolves in Iowa. He doesn't know that I am still alive. He's going to use your friend as bait to lure in the other werewolves to him so he can kill them. Either that, or he wants to rule all of the wolves in Iowa, and be the leader of most powerful pack in America. He already has Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio, he doesn't need any more. He's damn near impossible to beat already. He wants themn dead, unless they agree to join his 'pack of ultimate distruction'. I am going to help you stop him, and try to kill him, if I'm able to." Emma is able to tell us the rest of the story and what we can do before I fall asleep. Spencer and I are cuddling on the couch, my head in his lap, and his arm around me. I try to get up, and all of a sudden I feel dizzy, and like I'm going to be sick. The last thing I remember is Spencer catching me as I pass out.

When I wake up, I'm in the back seat of Spencer's Ferrari with him holding me to him. He has a tight grip on me, and when I move he instantly releases his grip on me. "Thank the gods you're alive," he says to me. "Do you remember anything that happend?"

"Why are we in your Ferrari? Who's the randon person in your car? Why is Darik here? Where are we going?" I ask him all of these questions with a paniced tone in my voice before he can even get another word out. I open my mouth to say more, and ask more questions, but before I can, he bends down and kisses me.

"Well, I'll take that as a 'No'. That kiss was for being okay, and remembering me. We took you to the hospital, but they said that you should be alright, and that you should've woken up a while ago. You were out for a day and a half Beck. we were starting to think that you were in a coma." He says as I look out the window again. "And to answer your questions, we are going to Florida, we're in my Farrari because there was no other car in the garage, the random person is Emma, the leader of a werewolf pack in Eastern Iowa, and Darik is helping us find Andy and Sam, she's MIA by the way. Is there anything else that you want or need to know?" He asks as I look back at him, and suddenly vomit.

"I'm not feeling too well." I say with an embarrassed look on my face. "Sorry about that..."

Spencer laughs at me. "I'ts alright Beck. There's a reason that I had my seats and floors covered. The doctors said that you might be a bit nauseaous when you woke up. I'm just glad that you are okay, and that you're up and awake." He says as he hugs me, and wiped the vomit from my mouth. I snuggled into him, and then moved to an open window as I vomited again. "Are you okay? I have some water if you want some." He hands me the water as I grab at it, and take a large gulp of water.

As we get to Florida, I jump out of the car, and rush into the motel that we had checked into. "Can we just get into the room? I don't have any clothes, and I want to take a shower, I feel gross. I also wanna lay down and take a nap on a bed. I wanna go to bed, and sleep some more." I say as Spencer walks to the room and unlocks the door so we can get in the door. "Thank you!" I say to Spencer as I run into the bathroom taking off my clothes as I start the shower. "Spencer? Do you have your phone with you?" I ask as he walks in the door. I stick my heas out the door, and I look at Spencer as he takes his phone out of his pocket and hands it to me. "THANK YOU! You're the best!" I say as I kiss him on the cheek, and turn on the music. I start to sing along, and I hear someone laughing as I get into the shower.

About 30 minutes later, I get out of the shower, and walk out into the room where I find Spencer laying on the bed. I take some if the clothes that he packed, and his deoderant and went back into the bathroom. I come back out in more of Spencer's clothes with a bra of my own, and I got into bed next to Spencer. He loooks at me, and I smile at him. He smiles back at me, and kisses my cheek as I snuggle into him. As we cuddle, he asks me if I'm feeling better than before, then pulks me into him as we embrace in a hug. He is holding me tighter, and makimg me a bit more sick. I begin to make a motion to leave to the bathroom door. He lets go of me, and goes to the bathroom with me. I start to throw up again, and Spencer holds my hair back for me as I do. I think to myself that I must be making a real good imession on Spencer. He just stands there holding my hair back for me, and rubbing my back. I keep puking and puking, and finnally when I stop, he looks at me and tells me that we are going to the hospital to get me checked out. He goes to my brother's room and knocks on the door as I walk to the car. He answers in less than 5 seconds. He looks at me as I'm getting into the car, and then at Spencer. "What happened to her?" he asks as he walks out to the car, and opens the door for me so I'm able to get to the car easier. "What's wrong sis?" He asks me as I get in the car.

"I don't know. Spencer is taking me to the hospital to finds out what's wrong with me," I say as I lay back the seat so I can try to sleep on the way where. "I think that I'm concussed. When I walking home from the motel last night when I went to wak with Spencer home. I hit my head on the headboard this morining pretty hard when I woke up after that night with dad." Darik asked me what I meant by 'concussed' and I looked at him like he was crazy. "I learnt that work when I was a Freshman, and you're a Seinor...It means that I have a concussion. Only a mild concussion though. Like the one MIles had in 'Looking For Alaska' by the wonderful author that goes by the name John Green. Who also ruins anyone in his books chances at a happy ending." I say and Darik looks even more confused. As Spencer gets in the car, he asks him what 'Looking For Alaska' is, and even who John Green is. Spencer just laughs, and tries to explain books and the author to Darik. I feel so embarrassed about it, and I tell Spencer what I told Darik. He agreed with me, and then took me to the hospital, and guess what. I had a mild concussion. Yay me (hint the sarcasm).

**************************************************************************************************************************

The next day, Spencer and I are in the room at the motel, since the hospital released me about an hour after I was treated. All they told me to do was take it easy for the next about week or so. So Spencer and I just layed in the bed, and cuddled the rest of the time at the motel. We fell asleep watching a movie on his phone. We were watching "Ferris Buller's Day Off" and Spencer took this time to go get us some food. I was hungry, and have been since the time that I got up to now. Spencer went to go get the food while I was in the room watching the movie that I wanted to. While he's gone, I take that time to think about what my life would be if I had a normal one. No parents missing, not knowing about monsters,  parents still together, staying in the same school for more than 2 weeks at a time, and having a life that isn't always moving. I was about to be able to answer those questions when Spencer came back with our food in his hands, but behind his back as if he wanted to surprise me. He holds out a Portillo's bag from behind his back, and hands it to me. He similes as I grab the bag from him, and kiss him numerous amounts of times. "You're the BEST boyfriend ever!" I say to him as I open the bag to reveal chocolate cake, and 6 hot dogs. "Woah Spenc. I may be hungry, but I'm not this hungry." I pull out the hot dogs, and give 3 to him as we laugh together. He takes a seat on the bed, and we start to eat our dinner. "These are delicious, but nothing compared to the delicious Spencer meals that I've been having for the past couple days." I say as I stuff my face with more food.

"Damn girl! You must be really hungry! You've eaten almost all of your food, and I've only been back for about 5 minutes babe." Spencer said to me as I eat the last of the my third hot dog, and taking out the chocolate cake out, and taking a drink of the tea that he bought for us to share. I smile at him, and then took the chocolate cake out of the container, and started to eat it. "Hey, save some of that cake for me baby. I want some too!" Spencer says to me as I take another bite of cake. I move the cake to the side and kiss him with the cake still in my mouth. "Not what I meant, but okay. I'm fine with this too." He says as he kisses me back.

"Well, if you ate your food faster, then you would get some cake" I say as I pull away from the kiss. "If you didn't eat so slow, than you might have a chance to get some cake." Just as we started laughing Darik and Emma bursted into the room with looks of pure accomplishment upon their faces.

"We found them!" they shout at the same time.
