i was CHEATED.

I was cheated Ch.19

Day:7

I looked into the bright clearing, and twigs snapped as me and Zane walked silently over to the lushes bright clearing in the center of the woods. There were flowers all around and a marble stone in the ground, big and beautiful and I could make out Madeline’s name etched in it as we got closer.

Zane knelt down in front of the stone and put his hand on it and motioned for me to do the same.

I placed my hand on the smooth rock and it felt warmed by the sunshine. Zane bowed his head for a moment and cleared his throat. “Hey Maddie.” He smiled as he said her name.

“I’ve brought Olivia here with me this time. Ya the she-wolf.” He used his other hand and traced the date carved into the stone that she died.

“She knows everything and in way she reminds me of you. And her and Cole have a little forbidden romance thing going on  like you and me before Mac caught us. You remember that day?”

He talked to her so easily, like she was standing out there on the edge of the woods trying heard not laugh with her arms wrapped around a tree. When she sees him kneeling here on the ground, and he talks like he knows she’s there.

‘Remember we were downstairs sitting in front of the fire, my arm was around your waist and I pulled you to lay down in my lap and I leaned down to kiss you on the lips. When Mac cleared his throat and came out of the shadows like magic.” He chuckled to himself, “Remember you screamed when you saw him?”

I smiled to myself and closed my eyes as well listening to Zane talk to his fiancé.

“You see she imprinted on him too.” I couldn’t help but to smile a bit wider.” I couldn’t describe how much I love you to you, but I could tell any one else. Olivia why do you love Cole?” Zane asked cocking his head towards me.

I pause before talking, “Well there’s just this thing…about him that gets to me. It’s not something he says or does- its just being by him I get this scenes of safety and comfort. But I like it when he laughs at some stupid thing I did like trip over a chair leg or knock my head against a tree in the woods.” I smile at the thought of when I first ran.

“But when he makes these little choices silently about me that do some small little thing to make my life better it makes me so…it just makes me feel a way I never have before lets say.”

I grimace as I thought about it. “As you can probably tell I’m not the girly type ‘ohh he looked into my eyes!’ No that’s not me.” I move  my hands around trying to find words to explain it. But I just laugh lightly and sit down next to the stone cross legged so my entire leg touched the base of it.

It felt like it had life- the stone. There was something like a burning candle in a hurricane, or a storm in a bottle, there was something there.

“Its just weird.” I mutter picking at some green grass. “No its not weird, just keep on explaining it to us.” Zane pressed on. My lips twinge up, us.

“Well I love him obviously. I just can’t seem to get away from him either, I keep ending up right next to him or in some cases…on top of him.” I stare off into the sky. “But I think it’s the same with him.”

The wind blew slightly ruffling my hair from behind my ears, I tuck it behind my pierced ears and laughed, “And when he does stuff like sweeping my hair back, or holding my hand.” I sigh, I couldn’t describe fully, but when I came upon the right word it would slip away again. I could probably never be able to describe it fully- but is there one person out there that can?  I shook my head slightly, no there isn’t.
