“alright that’s the last box. Are you sure you don’t want to room with me?”
I gave chase my scariest glare i could make but new i looked like a sad clown. I knew i was right when chase threw his head back laughing and pulled me closer. “i wish you’d let me help with them. I’ve taken them around so far i can manage. And yes im sure i don’t want to share my room with a big scary wolf.” I responded, pouting.
“hey now no pouting or the big bad wolf will bite you,” he pulled me even closer, which i didn’t know possible, and leaned his forehead on mine, “hard.”
I squeaked and blushed. I pushed myself away from him and sat down on the bed that was pushed up against the wall. The room was big, well big compared to my recent home. The word home hurt because i didn’t know where i belonged anymore. The walls were beige and the furniture was all brown. The covers on the bed were soft and white. On the wall, left of the door, and the bed, there was a small closet and bathroom. Over all the room was nice and cozy.
Chase had said he wanted to take me on our first date and i agreed. I just let whatever was happening happen. He can say he loves me now but tomorrow when another girl walks past him he’ll go running. I didn’t care if that happened. Its not like i had anything to lose. He was the only reason i wasn’t dead. So when he did leave me i’ll just go back to my old plans. It sounds pathetic but there’s no reason that tells me otherwise. It’s strange how two nights ago i was planning how i could survive. But now that I’ve got my head straight i know there was no use of that.
“fel? Did you hear me?”
I look up to see a confused chase. He had started calling me fel. That was his nickname for me and i didnt mind it. “sorry, i was thinking.” I said it right away, i didn’t notice how depressed and choked my voice sound. Right away chase knew what i had swarming in my mind and i found it quite weird. He kneeled in front of me and sat in between my legs. He held my small hands with his huge ones and said. “stop thinking what you’re thinking. Im not going to leave you okay? No one will EVER compare in the slightest to you.” At first i just sat and stared at him. So he didn’t know what i was thinking. Before he could see the confusion in my face i played along.
“its hard you know?” i put on my best ‘i don’t know what im going to die’ face and looked at him. He smiled and pecked my forehead. “It shouldn’t be. Now get some rest we have school tomorrow.” I nodded and washed up, changed my clothes and crawled into bed. Chase had left when i went to the bathroom so now i was all by myself.
It was silent throughout the night and i didn’t notice until now how i missed my mom’s or brothers making noises all night. I felt the tears but held my breath. I refuse to be so weak again in almost a whole weak. Crying myself to sleep isn’t going to do anything so i better stop. Soon enough i fell asleep.
The next morning i woke up on the floor. I was curled up and chase crouched down beside me shaking my shoulder. “what’s wrong? Why are you on the floor.” He asked.
But i didn’t know myself. I don’t remember getting up or falling off the bed. I did remember having a bad dream. I don’t remember what about, but it happened. I shrugged and took his outstretched hands. He pulled me up and right into his chest. I let out an ‘oumf’ noise and let him hug me and sniff me. It still seemed weird. “it killed me to not come into this room and sleep beside you, you know. I heard your heart beat all the way down the hall and it was torture.” I shivered at his hot breath on my neck. I laughed and said sorry nervously and stepped away.
When i tried to walk away he growled and pulled me back. I sighed and kissed his lips softly.
“i have to get ready for school.” He sighed and nodded pulling away. I looked at him and saw he was already ready. After me pacing back and forth getting ready, and him following behind, i was finally ready.
We had breakfast and left for school. Everyone stared at us and he didn’t pay any attention to them. He also didn’t hear the names that people leaned down to tell me in my ear. after a while i yanked my hand out of his and ran to class. The rest of the day i avoided him. It was the worst thing to do but i needed time.
He had his own friends. Ones from his past school that moved at the same time. They were part of his pack so to everyone, but me, it seemed weird. He hung around with them but stared at me. It hardly helped but it was better than nothing. The whole day i only thought about how nothing will change whether or not im with chase or not. So i let it go.
At the end of the day i was upset with myself for letting them get to me. He was waiting for me outside my class and as soon as i made i contact i smiled and ran towards him. I didn’t even notice the foot that shot out in front of me, tripping me over. I automatically fell and right when i was about to make contact with the floor chase caught me. He stood me up growling and pushed me behind him.
He walked up to the owner’s foot, Mr. Perfect, Shaw. Shaw was smirking and stood his ground. Chase wrapped his hand around his neck and slammed into the locker causing the whole hall to go silent. He was shaking and anger and shaw’s face was red as he uselessly clawed at chase’s hand, trying to breathe. Then chase’s voice was booming through the halls. “if anyone EVER hurts, or even attempts to her felicita, i will personally make you regret it.” He tightened his grip pushing shaw higher up the wall looking straight into his eyes. “ got it?” shaw nodded quickly and chase let go, making him slam against the floor, and turned around grabbing my arm
The pace was way to fast for me so i was running while he was... fast walking? “wait please.” My voice was fragile because he stopped and turned around pulling me to him. He started kissing all over my face. We were outside already so no one was watching. “are you okay?” he held onto me his breathing evening out. “chase thats probably the first time any of them figured out my name.” He laughed and crashed his lips to mine.
“you’re not mad?”
I laugh at that and snuggle into his chest, shaking my head. “of course not! They made my whole high school years hell!” a loud growl erupts from his chest and i slam my lips back on his. Loving that he protects me no matter what.
