Fire

Chapter 14

~Stephanie's POV~

As soon as Luc drops me off at school he leaves, but not before giving me a passionate kiss, which I thought was a little weird. He never kissed me like that at school before. Whatever, maybe it was nothing.

I walk up to Melanie and Bridget and smile.

"Jake told us you were sick yesterday," Bridget says sadly.

"Are you pregnant," Melanie asks.

"No I'm not pregnant," I yell, frowning.

Everyone looks at me weirdly and Jake comes over.

"Hey Jake," I smile.

He smiles back, "hey, can I talk to you," he says.

"Sure," I say.

We walk into the school and over to my locker.

"So...what's up?"

"I know why you were never open with me," he starts off.

I raise my eyebrows. The only reason I was never open with him was because most of my life is demonic or has something to do with the underworld, I never told him about my being a demon; well i was a demon, so how could he possibly know why I never told him anything?

He breathes in. He looks really nervous, "it's because...you're a demon, aren't you?"

"What," I ask. Did he just say that or am I going def.

"I found out yesterday when Zeus himself called me and promoted me into a higher position as General," he says.

"Jake, you're General of his army, you never thought to tell me that you're a damn angel," I say between my teeth.

"You never told me you were a demon," he says back just as angry.

"That's because I would've been killed if I told you."

He sighs, "I get it. But what happened with Taylor was a huge mistake that I never should have made, I'm sorry okay, it had nothing to do with the fact that we had never had sex I was drunk and she was there and I'm pretty sure she forced me, I'm not sure," he says, looking as if he's still trying to make sense of the whole thing.

I bite my lip, the speak, "it's okay Jake, I forgive you completely. But...I'm not a demon anymore," I say, "Zeus stabbed me with the sword that turns demons into angels and-"

"You're an angel now," he assumes.

"No, I'm half angel half demon now, some kind of neutral being," I frown.

~Jake's POV~

After Stephanie said those words my heart stopped. She's both demon and angel. This makes no sense. I shake my head, maybe I'm def or didn't hear her right.

"Did you say you were half demon half angel," I ask, making sure I heard her right.

She nods.

I sigh, "it doesn't matter," I move closer to her and wraps my arms around her waist. She looks confused, "Stephanie, I love you and I want to be with you," I say.

She opens her mouth to say something, but I cut her off with a kiss. She doesn't move so I stop.

"Jake, we can't," she says and I really didn't want to hear those words leave her mouth.

"You love him, don't you," I ask.

She nods, "I'm sorry."

I let her go, "don't be, go where your heart tells you, right," I chuckle nervously.
