HURT (edited)

Ivy

I could not stop thinking about the fact that Ashley and Blake are mates. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that they were mates. I mean, sure there were a few occasions where Ashley and Blake seemed really close but I never really dwelled much about it.

I've got to admit though, they are really good at keeping secrets. I was still hurting at the fact that my best friend did not trust me with her secret. But come to think of it now, I understood why she didn't tell me. I mean after all if I were to go out onto the streets and tell people that I'm a "mythical creature" I would most likely end up in the mental hospital in less than 24 hours and probably be locked up for life.

Cameron seems to notice that I was upset and ask me if I wanted, he could spend the night with me watching a movie marathon while eating ice cream.

Aww... He really is so sweet and kind. I mean he doesn't even know me for more than a month yet he is willing to stay up all night with me.

I nodded and smiled at him. Since he knows the house much better than me which makes no sense because he has been here for a lesser time compared to me, he led me to a movie theater they have in their house. Can you believe it? A movie theater in the house. Some people are way too rich.

He got me to pick the movie I wanted to watch whilst he went to the kitchen to take the "unhealthy" food.

I flipped through the movies they have before deciding to watch a horror film. I've always been a fan of horror films. They are always so thrilling and exciting and they keep hearts pumping non-stop. I settled on Sinister and then waited for Cameron to come back.

"What movie did you pick?" Cameron asks with his hands full of ice cream tubs as he climbed onto the bed.

"Well since I love horror films, I settled on Sinister." I replied casually.

He visibly gulped before replying, "Out of everything... Do we really have to watch a horror film? We can even watch a romance film if you want. Or-or chick flicks, you know... Like uh–"

"Aww is poor little Cameron scared of horror films?" I mocked in a baby voice while smirking at him.

"Psh... No, who says I am afraid of them." He said trying to be brave whilst pushing his chest out.

I smiled replying, "Well if you are really scared you can hold my hand... I don't mind."

I played the movie and sat back against the headrest. I took a tub of ice cream from Cameron and began digging in. I had only eaten a spoonful before I felt Cameron anxiously grabbing onto my arm. I chuckled and shook my head before continuing to devour my ice cream. Minutes into the film, the ice cream was long forgotten and left to melt. Couldn't really eat when Cameron has both of his arms tightly wrapped around me. I laughed at him and decided to spare him and watch Fast and Furious instead.

He let out a sigh of relief before glaring at me, saying, "The next time, I am going to pick the movie and you shall take the food."

"Cameron, I'm kind of tired." I yawned. "But thanks for spending time with me, I really appreciate it." I said gratefully.

"No problem, it's my pleasure." He answered.

Just as I was about to go back to my room to sleep and skip school for the day, Cameron shouted.

"Ivy wait! I've got something to tell you..."

"Can this wait? I'm really tired Cameron..." I yawned for the extra effect.

"Yeah... Wait actually no. I have to tell you this now."

I pursed my lip and waved my hand motioning him to start speaking.

"Well you see erm, you know how Ashley and Blake are mates. Well... I have a soulmate too and that person is--"

"Me." I gasped softly.

"Ye-Yes. You are my soulmate. You are so nice, kind and beautiful. Everything about you just screams perfect to me. I know it is really early to say it but I'm in love with you and I really hope you give me a chance to be an important person in your life. I promise I will try not to mess up and if I do, you can hit me or scold me but please don't ever stop talking to me." He rushed those words out.

Wow. That's... A lot to take in. How can someone fall in love in less than a week especially when that person is me... Is it even possible? It's really touching but I'm not really ready for him to be my boyfriend.

"That's a really touching speech but I'm not ready to be in a relationship now. I am so sorry." I said softly.

He look really dejected but brightened up before saying, "I know it is too early to be in a relationship but let me take you out for a date. This way we can get to know each other more."

"Yeah sure that sounds like a plan." I smiled at him. He smiled so wide that I thought his face was going to split.

"So I'll see you later in the evening. Get ready by 6 and dress comfortable." He said in a chirpy voice before heading to his room.

Cameron

Ivy and I had a movie marathon all the way till morning. I'm really glad I suggested it because I learnt so much more about her through the movies she watched and things she told me about herself.

I still regret the fact that I let her pick the movie. I mean out of every possible film that she could have picked, why must it be a horror film? I would rather watch a Barbie movie even though I hate how glittery it is. Don't judge me, I had a younger sister who made me watch it.

Call me a scaredy cat but horror films aren't my thing. I could still remember the first time I watched a horror film and let's just say I didn't sleep a little wink for that week because I was too afraid that little creatures might drag me into the fireplace. (Movie reference: Don't be afraid of the dark.)

Just as Ivy was about to leave for her room, I could not help but felt the urge to tell her that she was my mate. I just couldn't wait anymore. So I gathered all my courage that I had left and rush out those words.

But when she rejected me, I could not help but feel my heart shattering slowly at her rejection. I was about to lose all hope until my wolf prompted me to ask her out on a date.

"I know it is too early to be in a relationship but let me take you out for a date. This way we can get to know each other more." I suggested in a hopeful tone.

"Yeah sure that sounds like a plan." She smiled at me. I immediately grinned like a Cheshire cat. She agreed to go out with me, I mentally cheered. 

"So I'll see you later in the evening. Get ready by 6 and dress comfortable." I said in a chirpy voice before heading to my room. I'm going to make this her best date ever.
