"Maybe it's better this way-that we keep our darknesses close, hidden in our minds, protected by our hearts."

Chapter 23

One week later...

Elsa

"Hey mom? Can I go see a movie with Spencer?" I asked, walking into the living room.

"Did he get the blood cleaned out of his car?" My dad countered.

"Yeah, he had that done like... two days after he got injured."

"I don't see why she can't go. The boy can handle himself. He proved that by saving you and being able to keep up with Hunter. Go on sweetie. Be careful," mom told me. I said thank you and ran up to my room to text Spencer back. I started digging through my closet, trying to figure out what to wear. I didn't really want to go to the movie theaters in my pajamas. I went with a skirt and a tank top. I threw on a thin sweater and put my makeup on. I was halfway done with my hair when I heard the doorbell ring. Spencer was early. Ember must've been the one who opened the door because I heard the two of them talking. Footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs. Ember knocked, asking if she could come in. I told her she could. My door opened, revealing my sister and Josilyn. Ember shut the door and jumped on my bed.

"Your boyfriend is downstairs and looking mighty fine," Ember said. "Like seriously, if he wasn't yours and Noah wasn't mine, I'd totally tap him."

"Ember!" Josilyn laughed.

"What? He looks sexy in that leather jacket of his."

"I know exactly which jacket you're talking about too," I said, thinking back to the day Spencer had brought me lunch in his leather jacket. I'd be damned if I didn't say I'd never seen such a handsome guy.

"Do you really trust the others not to attack him? You know how mixed the pack is about him," I said.

"Mom wouldn't let anything happen to him. She knows he means too much to you."

"I know but dad hates him and you can't tell me otherwise."

"He doesn't hate him, he just... doesn't trust him."

"Still, I don't like him being near the pack," I muttered. I sprayed hairspray onto my curls and then tumped my head over so I could lightly brush the curls out. I flipped my hair back up and styled it the way I wanted. I just left it hanging loosely around my shoulders. Ponytails and hairclips gave me headaches. I threw on some silver hoops and a necklace before heading downstairs. Spencer stood in the foyer talking amiably with my mom. God he looked good...

"Hey Spencer," I greeted, stepping next to him.

"Hey Elsa. Sorry I was early. My sister told me traffic was bad earlier and so I thought it better we get there earlier rather than later."

"No problem. You ready to go?"

"Yeah. Mrs. Laroche, always a pleasure seeing you."

"You too. Be careful okay? If anything happens, call us," mom said.

"I will. Bye!" Spencer and I left my house, getting in his Ferrari.

"So what movie do you want to see?" Spencer asked, pulling out of our driveway.

"I'm literally game for anything. How about... Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation?" I suggested.

"Sounds good to me. The movie looked great in the previews! Oh, by the way, if you want, Caleb and Lily are making enchiladas for dinner tonight. Caleb said you love enchiladas and was wondering if you wanted to eat dinner with us."
