Beauty And The Bad Boy

Chapter 7: Fighting Back

*Rose's P.O.V.*

"I don't want to leave you." I said putting my head on Asher's shoulder. We were holding each other in his car before I was about to see my dad.

"I don't want you to leave, too. But when this all blows over. We can be together. I promise." Asher insisted.

"I hope so," I said, then gave him a kiss. "I don't know how I'll be able to tell Bella that I'm a werewolf now. We haven't even told the others that we've mated yet."

"I told Kaden that we are together, but I didn't tell him that I turned you into a wolf. I'll tell him when the pressure of this whole situation is over. I'll tell everyone, then when we graduate this senior year. I'll have a surprise for you." Asher said smiling.

"What is it? Tell me. I want to know." I said with a big smile.

"Ah, Ah, Ah. It's a surprise." Asher said putting a finger to my lips.

"You're a jerk."

"I'm your jerk."

"Whatever," I said rolling my eyes. "Where is Kaden, anyways? Bella, said that he went on 'vacation' or something."

"Umm, yeah something like that." Asher said sounding unsure.

"Why are you keeping this secret from me? We never keep secrets from each other."

"I can't tell because Kaden told me I couldn't tell. So, I'm not going to tell. It's guy code."

"No matter how much I beg you." I said pouting.

"Even if you try to bring sex into this, I'm not going to tell."

"Are you sure?" I said seductively.

"I'm sure." he said his voice crackling a little and he gulped.

I giggled. "Well, fine. Let's just keep that secret between you guys." I gave Asher a final kiss before getting out of Asher's car.

"Alright, Bye." he said.

"Bye." I smiled and wave goodbye as he drove away.

I walked to the front of my house. It seemed so foreign to be outside of the woods and back home. It felt like I didn't belong. I knocked on the door. No one responded. I knocked harder. Finally, a man came out with a beer in his hand looking awful and drunk, but he looked at me shocked.

"Rose? Is that you or am I really drunk?"

"It's me. I'm here."

"Rose...I've...missed you." He said stumbling to hug me and falling into my arms.

I laughed. "Dad, I've missed you, too." I patted his back as I hug him.

He gathered himself. "I'm so sorry you have to see me like this. It's just that I've been so lonely. You're back. You didn't happen to have seen Belle. Have you?"

"Isabella is okay, dad. I saw her. She is happy wherever she is."

"I'm sure she is. Did you come to visit me?"

"Actually, Bella sent me here to check on you. She really cares about you. We both do, dad. Don't do this to yourself. Don't beat yourself up. I'm sorry I left you both. Isabella yelled at me for leaving you guys and she was right. I was wrong to leave and not at least see if you guys were okay. But we're getting older, dad. You're going to have to except that we won't be here forever. But we'll always be here just like you'll be there for us. What I'm really saying is...you need a girlfriend, dad. You're still good-looking. Women will love you." I said smiling.
