Lost (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 8

"I...I...I am... your mate?" I ask him again. He nodded his head and confirmed what I heard him say earlier. "I know you'll want to reject me. You already have a boyfriend." He said sadly.

"No no no." I said touching the side of his face. I immediately felt sparks where I touched him and gasped in surprise. "I...I want to give you a chance." I told him. He looked at me, eyes big and mouth wide open. "Really?" He asked. I could hear the sound of hope in his voice. I nodded my head and he pulled me into a hug.

"So... what about we play 20 questions to learn about each other?" I asked him. "Yea."

"So I'll start first. Favourite colour?" I asked. "Violet. You?" "Sky blue. Favourite food?" "Pizza. Favourite thing to do?" "Read. You?" "Play sports. Favourite show?" "Teen wolf." We continued asking random questions about each other and soon fell asleep while talking.

The next morning, I woke up to the sun in my eyes. I felt an arm draped around my waist and started panicking until I saw Alexander. I sighed in relief that it wasn't a psychotic murderer trying to kill me.

I got up but suddenly got pulled back down by Alexander. "A little longer..." He mumbled as he snuggled his face into my neck. I wrapped my arm around his waist while I used my other hand to scroll through my phone which Alex had given me the day before before we fell asleep. He had like 10 new phones in his desk because he always smashed his when he got angry so he gave me one.

I sighed. I can't ignore my attraction towards him. But I need to break up with Jace to be with him.

I went to wattpad where billions and billions of books from the past and started reading.

The world outside is now ruled by the supernatural. Those that are not are either killed or left to die as they aren't allowed to turn a human into a werewolf.

The witches have helped with technology and keeping the supernatural away from the humans and keeping them a secret. So to humans, the patch of forests that I ran into wasn't there. They won't see what I saw. Only supernaturals can see it.

After about 30 minutes of me reading random stories people had written, Alexander finally wakes up.

"Good morning beautiful..." he said as he gets up a little. He pulled my head into his lap to let me lie down.

"Hey," I said, not even looking at him. "Are you hungry?" I suddenly jumped up at that question. "You got food?" He chuckled. Damn I felt like I could listen to that forever...

What the hell is wrong with me?!

"Come on. Go get ready. I'll cook some pancakes for you." When he said that I immediately jumped out of bed and ran to the toilet. Apparently the witches got everything covered.

I jumped into the shower and started showering. When I stepped out, I realised that I had no towel. Crap.

I opened a few cupboards and drawers and finally I found them. I was in the middle of drying myself when someone knock on the door of the bathroom.

"Clare! I brought some clothes for you!" I heard Alexander shout from the outside. I hid behind the door and streatched my hand out after opening a little gap in the door. "Thank you" I said as he passed the clothes to me.

I quickly got dressed and brushed my teeth. When I came out, I saw Alexander sitting on the bed waiting for me.

"Come on. Let's go for breakfast." He said standing up. He wrapped his arm around my waist and we walked down together.

We were eating the delicious pancakes and scrambled eggs that he cooked for me when Jace walked in.

I could feel the awkwardness in the room. Alexander's growling could be heard. "Umm... Jace? Can I talk to you for a second?" I askef and he nodded his head, frowning at Alex. I took him by his wrist and dragged him to a random empty room.

"Jace..." I sighed. "I think we should break up."
