Not One In Eight

20. My One

Okay well I'm going to start a little tidbit about Matt since I think he deserves some happiness. So here is Matt's ending until he shows up again. Probably.

______________________________________________________________________________

I packed up everything I had brought. Which is basically everything I own. Shirts, shoes, pants, deodorant, and my favorite picture of Emmalie. She and I were under a tree.

Her dark hair was up and she had on ripped jeans. Her shirt said "I'm wit stopid" and them on the back it said, "But he'll still beat you down". She made it herself. Said it reminded her of me. Before she left she gave it to me.

That day I decided to take her to an old thrift. I don't know why. But anyway, she loved it. She tried on some many different outfits and she modeled them. She'd be all serious and then she would suddenly burst out laughing.

Her long legs striding and twirling gracefully. It was amazing to watch. Everything she did was amazing. I didn't even understand why anyone would choose Annie for me. I could never love her. I had already found a soul mate.

My Emmalie.

"Like it?" she asked twirling around in short black dress with a skirt perfect for twirling. She looked amazing.

"More than that. I love it."

"Good. I want to get it."

"Good. I want to see you in it."

We decided to go to the nearest café and order some food for on the go. We then took a stroll in the park, hand and hand. Laughing and loving each other. The flowers were in bloom and everything was good.

After walking for a hour we sat down. The tree behind us stood tall and very powerful. Emmalie looked at it so wistfully. She listened and ate but I could tell her main focus was the tree.

"God, Mattie, you should have seen what Annie did today."

"What love?"

"We were sitting in lunch and out of nowhere milk comes out of her nose. But that's not the funniest part. Some of the milk came out of her ears. It was hilarious."

"Really, that sounds amusing." So we talk and talked until I randomly said asked her something.

"So having fun examining the tree?" I had asked she laughed sweetly. The way she always laughed. But this time it was the happiest and most innocent laugh I've ever heard from her.

"Yes, yes I am. I don't know, the tree remind me of my dad. I don't know why. It's just it has that ageless, regal, strong look my father had. Sorry, you probably think that's weird." She said shyly looking down. She blushed, her scent, usually like roses, vanilla, cherry and the most intoxicating thing ever, became even more mouth watering.

I kissed her on the lips, savoring her taste and the way her frail body fit into mine. Making that day the best that I have ever had.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So today, I'm going off, ahead of the others. To scout the safest possible route back home. It's great being the alpha. Yeah right.

I'm going to miss my Emmie so much but at least she's happy. It'd take an amazing girl to take my heart. I mean it takes someone equally and more, if possible, to match an amazing person like Emmalie.

Strolling down the street, deep in thought, I happily day dreamed about Emmalie. The way she would look in the summer at the pack's beach house in a yellow pock-a-dot bikini. The way she would look in my arms before we-

I bumped into someone. "Ugh."

And it was instantaneous. Those eyes, they were so innocent and beautiful. They made me feel so warm and fuzzy. Her body was so beautiful, curves in all the right places.

She had a perfect everything. It was amazing. I'd never felt this way before. I knew what had happened. Why Emmalie chose him over me.

But this is only because of one thing.

I'd found my other half.

My mate.

Someone who was amazing enough to take Emmalie's place in my heart.

No, not take her place. Rather a new place. A place a bit higher than Emmalie. No one could ever replace her, she's too unique. But I found my one.

And even if she doesn't know it, she will be mine.

"Hi."

"Hi."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We're leaving." Reose explained to us.

"What you can't." Fayette yelled

"Reose, you need to think a little more." Francis yelled and Reose shook her head. They didn't understand why she needed to go to New Jersey. Why she had to go with them.

"Reose, don't make a rash decision like this. I know you love-"Maya started but Emmalie stopped her.

"I think you should go. Follow your heart and all that." Emmalie said coolly and Reose thought to herself 'I knew there was reason I liked Emmalie.'

"So I'm going." Reose said finally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm Matt." I said shyly.

"I know."

"Well it's really cool to run into you."

"Yeah." She said shyly behind her hair. She some of her brown hair behind her ears, a small smile appearing.

"So maybe I'll see you again." I started to walk away but she stopped me.

"You're leaving today, right."

"Yeah."

"Well if you have time, then I'd like to take you to get some coffee."

"Reallly, I'd like that. I mean, I don't know when we're going to leave. A lot of the pack wants to stay for a while."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Guys we're going to stay a while." I announced and there was an uproar.

"We don't want to stay." Annie yelled.

"Yeah, I want to go see my mom." Justin yelled.

"And I am dying without my mate." Exclaimed Craig.

"All right anyone who wants to go can go with Annie."

"Yes, Alpha." Annie said happily and two thirds looked at me for an okaying nod, which I game and they walked away with Annie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So I'll get to see you again."

"Yeah."

"So you want to get that coffee. I know just the place. I mean I've never been to this one but they have a similar place in Cali and Emmalie raves about it." I smiled and so did she.

She took my hand in hers. It was cold but I didn't care. I mean I was warm, so we balanced each other out.

"You ready now?"

"Yeah."

"It's Danielle by the way. Danni for short."

OOOOOOO Not what you were expecting right. Well remember three things.
