Don't lose HOPE [COMPLETED]

Chapter 27

HOPE

After dinner, I tell Evelyn that I needed some girl talk.

She quickly drags me up the stairs and shouts, "Go and work out or something," to Zeke and Chris.

I give Zeke an apologetic look, but I think he can be without me for an hour or so. Usually, they work out much longer than that.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Evelyn asks me excitedly when we're locked inside her room.

We already filled them in about what happened with my parents during dinner, so that's long forgotten now when it's all okay again.

"Umm...Zeke and I kind of made out in his truck and Kate saw us."

"Well, that's nothing. You don't need to be embarrassed about that."

"I kind of grinded on him too," I say, trying to look innocent.

"Oooh! Now we're talking."

"Kate mentioned that we were one step closer to giving her grandpups, and that kind of made me freak out, not only because I don't want to be a mom at 18, but also the puppy part. Because if I'm going to have wolves coming out of me when it's time, and there's a whole damn litter, I kind of need to know now before anything happens."

Evelyn bursts out laughing.

"Hey! I'm serious. I'm freaking out here."

She just continues to laugh at me. "No, you're not going to have wolves popping out of you."

"Well, how should I know? I'm new at this."

"There're no pups. We give birth to humans. Well, werewolves, but we don't turn until we're 16."

"But I'm human. Does it mean that we can have human children too?"

"No, the werewolf gene is dominant, so even if the female is human, the children will always be werewolves."

"And there's only one at a time?"

"Yes," she says, chuckling. "I mean, you can have twins or triplets too, but that's just as big of a chance as it is for humans."

Phew!

"While we're talking about not wanting kids, mom kind of got you some birth control," she says and hands me a pack of pills from her bag. "We guessed that you're not on them."

I shake my head and blush a little.

"It's just for precaution. It's better if you've taken them for at least a week before you, you know," she says, wiggling her eyebrows.

I quickly hide them in the front pocket of my hoodie.

"Don't tell Kate that we gave them to you since she so badly want's grandkids," she says, chuckling.

I'm not sure about these pills, but I guess I need to start taking them sooner or later. Rather later, but just to be sure that there won't be any pups popping out of me, I might as well start now.

The rest of the week goes by quickly. Apparently, the school nurse gave Zack some sedative to calm him down, and when he woke up from his blur, they told him that he had hit his head. That, plus the sedative, made him hallucinate a little, hence the fangs and red eyes he saw on Zeke. I'm not so sure that he's convinced, though, since he hasn't been at school all week, but the principal assured Zeke that there wouldn't be a problem. Zack's parent thought that it was best to let him rest since they didn't want anyone to hear him talk about monsters with red eyes. I mean, who would believe him?

Next week is spring break, so that gives him a little more time to process and hopefully come back to school after that. Mean girl one and two just had some nosebleed, no broken noses, so they didn't tell anyone about what happened. That would've ruined their reputation. They had some bruising, though, but I'm sure they would rather tell everyone that they had a nose job than being punched by another girl.
