Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunc-

"Dean! Close your mouth when you eat!" I shout for the third time as he turns to me cereal hanging from his lips as he then starts to chew faster emphasizing the food in his mouth before he chokes on it having cereal fly onto the floor as he goes into a coughing fit, making me laugh loudly.

Recovering from his coughing fit he looks back at me in astonishment, "I could have died!" he shouts.

"It would have been well deserved." I say bluntly taking a bite of my cereal as he huffs at me.

"Whatever." he says continuing to eat but noticeably with his mouth closed, as I turn back to the TV dazed as my thoughts took hold of me. It's been a few days since the incident with me and Olivia I haven't talked to Killian since then too upset at him, the only person who ever visits is Madison and that's because there was a rumor going around about Dean and I which we immediately debunked at her arrival.

So she comes and watches movies with us from time to time and everytime I try to mention the possibility of Dean and her, she immediately blushes red and covers my mouth shaking her head. But you can't deny the look they share when they see eachother. It makes me wonder if Killian looks at me like that but I try not to think about it cause it would lead to feelings I wasn't ready to face.

So instead I tried to start a daily routine, so here I am sitting next to Dean, eating cereal as we watch some werewolf movie that was full of clichés. I'm about to comment about the wolf's transformation before Elaine walks into the room.

"Everest your brother called he wants you to come to the pack house to visit because he's too busy this week to come here." She explains quickly as she pushes the stray gray hairs from her eyes.

"Busy with what?" I question confused. I don't remember him mentioning anything important. An awkward silence falls on Elaine and Dean and I look at them expectantly as Dean puts his cereal down.

"Ever the rehearsal dinner is in a couple weeks." he says reluctantly.

"What rehearsal dinner?" I enquire.

"For the wedding, Killian and Olivia's wedding." I can feel every hair on my body bristle in shock only uttering an Oh as I put down my cereal slowly before sitting back a headache starting to form as I began to bite my nails.

"I thought it wasn't for a few months." I say in shock. Have I been here for that long?

"It was. But after your altercation with her, she decided to move it up. It's next month." I swallow hard and get up from the couch.

"Oh, ok." I say too shocked to think of anything else to say. I look down at my attire of jeans and a t-shirt and reach over for my shoes next to the couch. "I guess I'll go right now." I say tying up the laces as I feel Dean stand from the couch.

"I'll go too. I have to see Madison anyway." Dean says as I just nod in response.

So they're getting married in a month. Does that mean the rejection ceremony will be pushed up, and that will mean Ill leave soon. But before I do I have some unfinished business that needs tending and my brother is first on the list. I stand up as Dean enters the room clad in some jeans and a hoodie as we exit the house feeling the warm air rush past us and into the house as we quickly close the door before Elaine complains. We head into the woods only the sound of the leaves crunching under our feet the only thing shared between us before Dean speaks.

"Everest are you ok?" He asks looking at me.

"I'm fine." I respond shortly.

"So you're fine that your mate is having a rehearsal dinner in two weeks for his wedding with someone else?" He enquires.
