The Chosen One (unedited)

Chapter 14

           

I turned around grinning at Lizzy as she tackled me in a hug. How does one person have so much energy?

"I thought you'd never get here!" She screamed in my ear.

"Yeah well something came up last minute, sorry I'm late." I looked around noticing Jake left.

"Well I'm glad you're here, come on people from school want to meet the new girl." She grabbed my hand and stated dragging me behind her. Every time I'm near Lizzy I'm being dragged around. We walked over to a group of people I've seen around school but never actually talked too.

"Hey guys here she is finally!" Lizzy pushed me forward making me the center of attention. There were three boys and two girls smiling at me.

"Hey." I said waving at them feeling uncomfortable. I didn't know anyone at this party besides my family and to know they're all werewolves doesn't help. Just then I saw a figure dart into the kitchen that looked oddly familiar.

"Hey Lizzy, I'm going to go get a drink Ok?" I walked away not waiting for her to answer. As I was walking toward the kitchen an arm wrapped around my waist and mouth pulling me into a closet. I tried to scream but his hand was blocking me, so then I did the craziest and most disgusting thing ever. I licked the hand, what can I say? I panicked. The person let go of my mouth with a loud shriek.

"What the heck was that for!?" A male voice whispered. I recognized that voice.

"Dylan?" I whispered. "Don't scare me like that!"

"Do you always lick people hand?" He dramatically started wiping his hands on his leg.

"Only when crazy people drag me in closets." I rolled my eyes.

He chuckled "Relax I just wanted to talk."

"You couldn't have done that out there like everyone else? Or called?" I said putting my hands on my hips. He copied me smirking.

"Well maybe I didn't want to." I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want?" He stepped closer wrapping his arms around me.

"I felt you were upset from our bond, so I needed to check and see if you were ok." He said resting his chin on my head as I hugged him back. I felt ten times better already.

"I found out I was adopted." I mumbled into his chest.

"That's got to be hard, you know your family still loves you, though right?" He pulled back to look me in the eyes.

"I know it's just too much to find out you've been lied to your whole life, what if I don't know how to act around them now?" I hope family dinners don't turn awkward.

"You'll be ok, you're a strong girl and I know you'll handle this just find. Sure, things might be awkward at first, but adopted or not they're your family, they're the ones who raised you. Blood is not the only thing that makes family." He was right, and it felt great to have someone to talk to.

We stayed like that for a few minutes till I decided to break the silence.

"You should head home before someone notices you, I don't want to deal with any drama." I don't even know how he got in here without being spotted already. He pouted.

"Trying to get rid of me already? I'm fine right here." He reached for me and I giggled moving out his way.

"As much as I enjoy your company, I enjoy it better when you're not in a house full of werewolves. Now let's go." I grabbed his hand pulling him out the closet, luckily no one saw us exit as we went our separate ways.

I couldn't find Lizzy anywhere, so I just hung around the living room, looking very out of place. I hadn't seen Dylan around, so I assumed he took my advice and left. As I was sitting there I saw Zoey talking to some guy and flirting, typical. I was curious of who she was talking too and didn't know why until he turned around. I gasped seeing that it was Jacob. What the heck is he doing here!? And why is he flirting with Zoey!? I watched as she placed her hand on his chest and that's when I decided to interrupt their little flirt session. I got up making my way over there. I could tell Jacob knew I was coming because of the smirk on his lips. Once I got closer that's when Zoey noticed me.

She glared at me. "What do you want freak?" I ignored her and looked at Jacob.

"What are you doing here?" He lifted an eyebrow.

"I came to welcome you back." He said smirking at me. Zoey looked disgusted that he was even talking to me. I don't know who even invited her, maybe their dad.

"You know her?" She looked me up and down. Jacob didn't even spare her a glance which made a satisfied smirk appear on my lips. Ha! Take that.

"Yes, she's my ex." My eyes widened as he said, leaving my mouth hanging open in shock.

"You dated her!? Ew that's just gross why would you lower yourself into dating her?" Zoey said rolling her eyes. I honestly don't understand why she hates me so much. I was about to give her a piece of my mind, but Jacob beat me to it.

"Because she's not an easy slut throwing herself at anything with a pulse like you." He glared at her. Her cheeks turned red from anger before she stormed off. Guess she had no comeback, I giggled.

"What are you laughing at?" Jacob raised an eyebrow at me.

"Did you see her face!?" I asked trying to control my laughter, I covered my mouth with my hands but still couldn't stop.

Jacob smirked, and that's when I finally got myself together.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

           

"Since you won't stay with me, so I can protect you, I've decided to be closer to you." He stated smiling. He was serious about this guardian thing, I thought when he let me go home that we were done with that. "I enrolled in your school, just stopped by to tell you." Just freaking great. Another male to deal with.
