The one night alone

The kiss

That night after Jaxon found out I was wanted, Jacob begged us to let him watch a movie before he went to bed. I walked with him downstairs to the lobby and let him pick out a movie from the movie rentals behind the front desk. He picked out Aladdin and I started it for him in his bedroom. I went back to the living room where Jaxon walked in carrying 2 hot chocolates. He sat down next to me and handed me a cup. It smelled amazing. Taking a drink out of his own cup, he just sat there and said nothing. I tried to see in his head. I saw his mind racing, But for some reason I could only catch a few words. He was blocking me out. About five minutes later he opened his mind up, and turned to me.
"I need to tell you everything. Especially if the police are tracking you." He looked at me with a concerned and decided look on his face. I responded,
"I'm tired and today has been pretty rough. Can we do it tomorrow?" Although that was true, I just didnt want to have to learn about this coven. They ruined my life. When a look of worry crossed his face I added a please to help my case. His face still showed stern but then he softened.
"Fine tomorrow, but it starts first thing in the morning." I nodded in agreement. Im not going to argue with that right noe maybe later. I finished my last few sips of hot chocolate. I walked to the kitchen and started to rinse out the cup when I realized something. There was some red mixed in with the brown mix. I looked up at Jaxon with confusion. He avoided my gaze when he responded.
"That's blood, your going to get hungry and you'll need it. I'd rather not have to comfort you tomorrow when your brothers dead cause you wanted a midnight snack." The sudden need to throw up was very apparent. Jaxon must have seen my face because the next second his hand was over my mouth and telling me not to throw up. I managed to swallow it.
"I'm never drinking your hot chocolate again." I put the cup in the dishwasher and walked into the Jacobs bedroom. I walked up to the TV that was still playing the Aladdin. It was about halfway through I paused it and turned it off. Then I went and pulled up the covers over the sleeping child and kissed his head. Walking out the door I turned the lights off and closed the heavy oak door.
I walked past Jaxon who was now watching the news as they told the world about the new teen murder in the state. I'm now on the most wanted list in the state. Great.
Jaxon turned to me. "We will figure this out ok?" He stood up and walked over to me. My eyes still glued to the screen. He grabbed my hands and held then while staring at me. His hand moved up and held my chin facing my eyes towards him. "Hey look at me ok? I'm going to keep you safe. Nobody is going to hurt you or your brother. I already called my dad and he put the runners out to grab all the fliers they can and burn them. If cops come to investigate again we can move into my house. Ok?"
I looked in his eyes and backed away. Live in his house with his messed up demented family? The same family that killed my family. I laughed in disgust "We are not going to your house." He laughed and kissed my forehead. "Ok. We won't go to my house unless its absolutely necessary." I backed up in anger. "Don't kiss me, anywhere, I don't love you." It was part lie part true. I was angry wih him still. I saw a look of pain cross his face.
Regret filled my heart but I stood my ground. All I get from him is pain, and I don't need anyone else in my life getting hurt. He grabbed his coat turned and left the suite in a hurried fashion. The pain still in his eyes. I heard him walk downstairs and leave. I walked away, stopped listining and hopped in the shower.
About half an hour later I got out and threw on my PJs. I decided I was going to try and get some sleep. Once I finished my night routine, I flicked the lights off and crawled in the bed. It was late again i need too sleep. But for some reason I wasn't really tired again. About an hour later I relaxed enough to doze off for a few minutes. But I woke right back up wide awake. I just lay there and thought about Jaxon. What was I going to do? I liked him, no correction I loved him. And He loves me! Isn't this what I wanted? Him to love you? But the other part of me told me not to trust him. He hurt you Katie... You can't go back. He'll hurt Jacob.
This internal debate going through my brain gave me a decision. I finally decided that friend zoning him tomorrow would be the best thing. But as I started to think through it, my door opened and in walked a crying Jacob and a Jaxon carrying him. Jaxon set Jacob on the bed and Jacob turned immediately clung to me. Jaxon started to walk out but stopped at the last minute. "I love you, Katie I really do. I know you hate me for all the shit in your life, but I love you. Know that. Goodnight beautiful." He turned the last words trembling and barely a whisper. I whispered back, "Goodnight." Just as Jacob fell back asleep a breeze ran by the bed and something cold grabbed my face and a tingling sensation ran through my body. But as quickly as it came it left. Just a chilly breeze. I realized what happened. Jaxon... "He he kissed me!" I couldn't sleep the rest of the night.
