Dusk

Good night

Ashlyn's POV

   Finally! I will Finally have a bed to sleep in instead of a car! We are staying in a hotel in PidgeonForge, a town in Tennessee. 🎶Bite that tattoo on your shoulder, pull the sheets off the corner of the mattress that you stole from your roommate back in bolder we ain't ever getting older!🎶 I sang, startling my mother,  Closer by The Chain Smokers. After I was half way through with singing the song I realised that my window is open. I looked out the window then out it. My eyes met with a pair of chiclet brown ones. It was a guy about my age. Maybe a year older? I don't know. I feel like I know him though. He was giving me a dirty look. I raised an eyebrow at him, asking why the dirty look. He dropped the look and looked down. My eyes didn't leave the window, or the guys face. He looked up and held a piece of paper. It was backwards but I tried to read it.

  "Sorry about the look, it is just that I despise that song " is what the paper wrote I found my notebook and a pen.

   "It's okay, it isn't really one of my absolute favorite songs, I am just dying of boredom,"  I wrote back.

  "Oh, okay, by the way the names Jacob," he wrote back.

   "The name is Ashlyn," I wrote back.

  'Nice to meet you, Ashlyn,' Is what I heard in my head. Hold up! Holduoholdupholdupholdup! My mom and I are the only ones who can talk through mind link. I look at him, my eyes wide and my mouth agape. He looked straight back at me with the 'shit, what did I do?' Expression. I eventually found my way into his head.

   'How did you do that?!' I ask.
'The Same way you are'  he said back like is was the most simple answer ever.
'I don't even know how I am doing this!' I cried.
'You are a werewolf,' He said more then asked.
'You are, too?' I asked.
'Yep,' he said popping the 'P'.
'What pack are you from?'I asked, curious.
'Shining Moon Pack,' he stated.
'Oh My Gosh! That's the pack I'm originally from! I'm on my way back there After ten years!' I yelled in his head.
'No wonder you look familiar!' We said at the same time.
'Wow!' I exclaimed.
'What's wow?' Asked Jacob.
'It's just... I can't believe I remembered one of my friends from ten years ago!' I told Jacob.

   I break the mind link but I can still feel his presence in my head. "Mom guess what?!" I yell, startling her. "Jesus! What do you want child?!" She exclaimed after getting her grip back on the wheel of the car. "I found Jacob, one of my friends from the old pack! And guess what" I shrieked. "What?" She asked more calmly now. "He is in the car next to us!" I exclaimed. "And that's not all! We can already mind link  each other! We already had a conversation!" I exclaimed. "Good for you, sweety!" She exclaimed. I  tune my mother out and back to Jacob.

   'Decide to stay?' I joked.
'Yep!' He laughed.
'Oh my gosh I love this song!' I screamed and started singing in my head. 

   🎶This is the story of a girl who cried a river and drowned the whole world!🎶 🎶While she looks so sad in photo graphs I absolutely love her... When she smiles!🎶

   'My God! Are you trying to break my ear drums?!' Jacob cries.
'Maybe a little!' I giggle.
'What ever....' He mumbles.
'Hue Hue Hue Hue Hue Hue Hue Hue!' I exclaimed.
'What kind of laugh is that?' He laughed
'I donno!' I say.
   That got a laugh out of him which was contagious. I started laughing too. My mother looked back at me. "Uhm, are you okay?" Asked my mother cautiously. "Yeah, I am just laughing at Jacob!" I say in between laughs. She shakes her head, "Oh Dear Child."  Sometimes my mother and I have our good moments.

'Did your dad look at you oddly when you were laughing, too?' I ask him, getting back into his head.
'Yeah,' he said then went into my head.
Why are you always in my head?' I ask Jacob.
'Cuz I like being inside you'  he said like it was nothing.
'Jacob!' I yell in my head.
Jacob lets out a husky laugh. I can feel my face warm up.

   "Sweat heart, I am sorry but I don't think we will be able to take that hotel tonight," Said my mother apologetically. Thank god she did because my face was ready to explode. "It's okay, mom,"  I say even though I am a little disappointed. Jacob's car has moved up the lane a bit but we can still talk we want thanks to mind link.

   I look out my window. The sun is down, it is twilight. I look down at my phone, which I have been neglecting, and look at the time. It is 7:59. Nearly 8 o'clock! That immediately drains all my energy.

'Guhnight Jacob' I say  tiredly and drift off to sleep as I hear him say:
'Good night, Ashlyn.'
