I'm Engaged to a Werewolf

Everything Just Happens

   The look in his eyes made me want to start crying. As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted saying them. What had I been thinking he was going to do? Smile and say congratulations to me? 'Cause that's the exact opposite of what he did. Well, it kinda was.

   Tanner stopped smiling at me and fisted his hands. I couldn't look at him anymore, so I looked at the bubbled up waters. It's not that I was ashamed; because i wasn't. I was very happy to be getting married to Seth. But, I wished Tanner didn't have to know. I closed my eyes.

   Seth?

   Yes, Zoie? He answered in his usual cocky voice. I mentally told him everything, starting with my very strange dream and about Tanner. Do what you thinkis best. It'll be okay with me either way.

   I opened my eyes and saw Tanner again. I looked into his blue eyes and saw my reflection. And as soon as I did, my head started to hurt big time. Dude, what the flip was up with this? I mean, for the love of god, come on!

   "Zoie," said Tanner. "If you're trying to be funny, you are--"

   "I'm not being funny. Seth proposed to me and I said yes" Before he could say anything else I said, "Tanner, you've had to have gotten over me by now. Just listen to me when I say thins. I don't love you anymore."

   He stood up and stared down at me. "I don't believe that for a second. But, you know what? Remember Tatiana Olivas? She's been texting me and I think I'm starting to like her. Besides, she's better than you ever where in bed."

   My mouth opened in shock. That . . . Then I relaxed a little bit. I don't know how, but somehow I knew that he was lying. Not exactly lying, but it wasn't the truth. Ohmygod, I needed to freakin' talk to Carlisle already.

   "You're lying. You're just jealous that I'm with someone who's better than you; someone who's sober twenty four seven." I didn't really want to bring that up, but he was just making me sooo mad.

   "You know, Zoie, I don't think you've been a bigger bitch in all of your life. Have gun fucking your dog." What Tanner had just said to me was very hurtful. And, I didn't like it; and I wouldn't take that kind of shit in my own house. I mean, how could he actually call me a bitch to my face?

   A cool breeze made my long wet hair rise and the bubbles move away from my parts. When I looked at Tanners face, I saw his eyes tum black. Just like what had happened to Seth . . . Kay, so I was . . . um, gifted, I guess. If I touched someone I could get them to do whatever I wanted. But, then Seth got me superduper mad and scared, so I guess my powers kinda expanded. Now I could sometimes do that without touching someone. But, I don't think I controlled when it happened. It just happened. Like, when we were in Spain, I was talking to my parents and I turned around to go and get some food, and the first person I laid eyes on got Zoie crazy. But, it did drain me a bit. I got so tired after it happened. Strange, huh?

   Tanner, I want you to get out of my house right now and don't come back until you've got it through your head that what I've told you is true! Now, leave!"

   As soon as Tanner left, I got out of the tub and got dressed. Got dressed, and fixed my hair all in silence. Poo . . . The rest of my day went by so slowly. Okay, so I know that it was late, but in the two hours I was awake, it went by way slow. It took forever!

   I went downstairs to visit with my parents for a while; but, I didn't talk much. Right now I was just so flippin' confused about everything. Particularly about Seth being okay with everything. Right now I felt like I needed a tequila.

   After talking with my mommy and daddy (haha) I went to bed. Not exactly in my bed, I kinda fell asleep watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Dude, I could be on that show! My dream was a complete and total blur, so I didn't even try to remember it the next morning. But, it was a good morning. 'Cause I woke up with Seth at mi casa.
