Forever Mates

Chapter 30

Guess what!! I found a baby bird that fell from its nest. I was walking home from school with my cousin when we saw a bird crossing the street in our neighborhood. I was all like  "Omg its bleeding!" We took it home and then took it to the animal hospital. Luckily the bird survived! I feel so happy :D I named it Baby Ruffles. But now its gone :( It was nice taking care of it though.

Also... me and my choir class won a trophy for superior something. I forgot haha. It was a nice week for me. I recorded my cousin singing. Now I have something to use against him!

I'm sad to say that the story is coming to an end :'( I enjoyed writing this story so much. There is like 5 or 6 chapters left. Maybe less.

Every time I felt sad I would read the comments and I instantly felt better! Thank you so much guys/girls! I think it's more girls though.

For everyone that reads To Love a Rogue, I'll be uploading once I'm done with Forever mates. It shouldn't be long.

"How does he look like?" Lucas pulled down on my arm. "Does he wear costumes?"

"Does he have purple hair?"

I gave Cathy a weird look. What the heck has she been learning? 

"No, he doesn't. He has it dark brown."

"No purple?"

"No purple." I laughed.

She pouted. "That would look cool. I could dress him up!" Her eyes light up and she smiled, showing her little teeth.

I imagined my dad with purple hair and dressed up as a five year old would dress someone up. I have a feeling that won't be a pretty sight. It would be funny and freaky. Mostly freaky. 

As we went into the study room I saw my dad talking to John's dad. I could only see his back, not his face. Allen was with them too. They seemed to be discussing something. I cleared my throat to let them know I was here. Allen snapped his head to look at me and dad turned around.

He smiled at me and looked at Cathy and Lucas. He smiled at them and looked at me again. "Hello honey. Who are these?"

I looked down at Cathy and Lucas who were both hiding behind my legs. They smiled shyly at my dad. He smiled back at them. Cathy blushed and buried her head on my hips. Lucas just grinned at him. Guess he's not scared like Cathy.

"They're short of shy," I explained, "don't worry, they'll get use to you."

My dad nodded. "I can see that." He frowned and looked at Cathy for a long moment. His eyes widened a little and looked pained for a while. It was gone a second later, making me believe I imagined it. Maybe I did. I'm still a little woozy from John's kisses. Maybe a lot but that is not the point.

Speaking of John, he came jogging down the stairs. He looked at me and winked. I blushed and looked somewhere else. Dad eyed me suspiciously before going back to continue his talk with Steve (John's Dad) and Allen. John joined them later.

I tried to hear what they were talking about but couldn't. They were talking in such hushed voices not even I could hear. Just because they're males and all have Alpha blood does not mean they could talk this quiet.

Whatever they were talking about it seemed pretty serious. I could tell by their body posture. Allen did that thing he did whenever his family was in danger; narrow his eyes and twitch his left eye every once in a while. I know, weird, but that's what he always did when things got serious. 

John's jaw was clenched and he was listening intently to whatever Dad was saying. He never took his eyes of off Dad. I noticed that he always did that whenever he had meetings. He just sat there and listened. Never got distracted by anything, especially if it was matter of life and death.

I couldn't see dad's face, but I was sure it was similar to John's and Allen's. I didn't Steve enough to know his body posture. But I could tell from his eyes that it must be something important. Overall, it must include someone being in danger, something important, and a matter of death.

That does not sound good at all.

I got up from the couch I was sitting on and went to look for Michelle, leaving Cathy and Lucas in the room. Maybe she could tell me what was going on.

I knocked on her door. There was no answer. I opened the door a little and found Michelle sleeping in the bed with a book resting on her chest. I closed the door and went back to mine and John's room.

I went to the closet and changed into gray sweat pants and a black tank top. I jumped into the bed and sighed. I lay my hands on my stomach and closed my eyes.

What could it be? What could they be talking about? I really hope that it's nothing bad. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I woke up to the sun shinning brightly in my eyes. I opened my eyes and squinted at the sun. I put my hands over my eyes and waited a little for my eyes to get adjusted. I looked next to me expecting to see John next to me.

I was surprised when I didn't see him there.

I sat up. "John?"

I went to the closet. No John.

The bathroom. No John.

Under the bed. Still no John.

Maybe he just woke up earlier than me. Yeah, thats probably it.

I went to the closet and got my clothes. I  put on denim shorts and a gray tank top with a black heart on it. I was putting on my high tops when John came in.

See? Nothing to worry about. I was being paranoid for no reason.

"Hey," I said softly.

He smiled a little and bent down to tie my shoe. I watched as he tied it until he broke the silence. "I'm leaving in a while."

I frowned. "What do you mean?"

He finished tying my shoe and moved to the second one. "We've been talking, me and your father, and we decided to go look for your mother."

"What?" I asked shocked.

"I said---"

"Yeah I know what you said. What I mean is why? Why didn't you tell me before?" I demanded.

"You wouldn't have let me go."

"Hells to the no!" I screamed. "Do you know what they did to my pack. They killed children! What would I do if they kill you?"

"I'll be fine---"

"That's what my mother said," I whispered. 

He stroked my cheek. "I'll be fine. I'll come back.... I promise."

I put my hand over his and closed my eyes. "Don't make promises you can't keep."

"I'll come back."

He stoop up and walked to the door. I got up from the bed and grabbed his hand. He turned around and looked me in the eyes. I stared in his blue eyes before attacking him. I kissed him like I've never kissed him before. I put everything I had into it.

When we broke up apart, both of us were breathing hard. He left his forehead against mine. I felt his breath hit my lips. I wanted badly to close the distance. As if reading my mind he kissed me again. 

His lips moved fast against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held tighter to him. He wrapped his around my waist and pressed my body against his, hard. 

He broke apart from me and kissed me on my forehead. "I'll be back." He left and closed the door, but not before turning back and giving me one last smile.

I just looked at him with tears in my eyes. When he closed the door I collapsed. I stared at the door wondering if I will ever see him again
