Midnight River Shorts

Oscar, Jasper, and Peter

Oscar's POV

I've been in love with one of my best friends for two years now... Then he kisses me at a party. I thought we were going to live happily ever after, but then he disappears. And so does Carmen.

I groan and lean my head down on the cafeteria table. "Izzy... Where did they go?" I whine at her.

"I don't know." She huffs.

It's been three days without him. "Am I pathetic?" I look at her.

"Maybe a little." She grins, taking a bite of pizza. "But everyone is that way in a new relationship."

"But neither of them are responding." I point out. Carmen has been silent, too.

"True." She sighs, nodding. "I guess all we can do is wait."

"I hate waiting." I groan, resting my head on the table again.

"Get used to it." She laughs, finishing her pizza as the bell rings. "Come on, we still have half a day left."

"I really don't want to." I pout.

"Well, I can't ditch." She sighs. "If you want to, I won't tattle, but I can't."

"I think I'm going to do some snooping." I grin, standing.

"Stay out of trouble." She groans. "But update me when you can." She smiles at me.

"Yes, boss." I mock salute her as she leaves the cafeteria for class.

I'm definitely not going to class. I leave the cafeteria, but go to the corner of the building with no camera and jump the fence. The best plan is to grab what I need from my broken home and go to Jasper's house, see if I can find anything.

I finish packing my duffle of things I need and want from my room. I don't want to come back here anyways. Not with the way my dad hits me. Then, just as I approach the door, there's a knock.

I open it to find Jasper standing there with a shorter, extremely cute boy. This boy has the audacity to hang on Jasper.

He's MINE. This boy had better learn his place. Just as I'm about to launch into a verbal attack on him, Jasper kisses me deeply.

"Oh, thank god you're home!" He says in relief. "I had a feeling, but I'm so glad you're home."

"Yeah, I mean... I was just grabbing stuff and then I was going to go to your house to see if I could find you." I mumble. Then I remember the boy. "Who the fuck is this?" I glare at him.

"This is Peter." Jasper grins at him.

"Okay." I cross my arms. "Why is he here?" I look at the boy. "Why are you here?"

"We need to leave." Jasper says quietly. He holds his hand out for me to take it.

"Give me answers, Jasper." I glare at him. "You can't just disappear for three days, show up with some random guy, and smile at me!" I shout, leaning up on my tip toes to get into his face.

"I'm... I'm not random." Peter says quietly.

"You're random to me!" I shout in his face. "What the fuck is going on, Jasper?! Tell me, now!" I demand, looking back at the boy who had just become my boyfriend not even a week ago.

"Come on." Jasper grabs my bag. "We'll explain in the car."

"Fine." I grit, following them to the car and climbing in the backseat. "So... What is happening here?"

"Well..." Peter looks at Jasper. "First things first... I'm a Werewolf. Specifically an Omega from Midnight River."

"Sure..." I roll my eyes. "Okay."
