We sit in absolute silence as they start to doze off. I rest my head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.
I never thought it would be him. Everything seemed so planned out already. But I'm glad the moon goddess made this mistake.

¥¥¥ Kacey's POV
Three days.
It's been three days.
And technically although I love him... I'm not in love with him.
Something just doesn't feel right.
"Kacey," I snap out of it to see Tyler waving his hand in my face. "where is everybody?"
Kyle sniffs around, hunting out a specific aroma. "More importantly, where is Rocky?"
"She's upstairs in her-" He's a blur before I can even finish my sentence.
Nick laughs and a second later, Jack's cackle can be heard, making Nick's eyes widen. "See ya!" He hurries into the dining area with Jack.
Tyler shakes his head at his friends. "What's for breakfast?"
I purse my lips and curl my eyebrows. "Don't act like you haven't eaten yet." I playfully glare at him.
"How did you know?"
"You eat so much you probably eat when you shit."
"Fuck off!" He laughs and playfully shoves me.
"Kacey!" I hear Jack yell my name and I'm in the kitchen in an instant.
Shockingly enough, there's no danger.
"You remember Nick, right? You guys should talk. Sara can you help me find something in our room?" Just like Kyle, he and Sara are a blur before I can question him.
Oh!
He's nervous.
I sigh and look at Nick. "How ya' doing, friend?"
His gaze averts to the floor as his lip begins to quiver. "I'm starting to think Jack doesn't want me to be his mate."
I pout. "What makes you think that?"
"He never makes eye contact with me and finds excuses to not be with me."
Jack may be our best friend but Nick is placing me directly in my feelings and I'm this close to beating Jack's ass, Kira states, not holding back.
I bite my lip and sit him down at the dining room table, the place where we all should be sitting right now. "Look, Jack has been single all his life. Plus the people at our school have been pretty hard on him. Just don't give up on him."
Nick shakes his head vigorously as he sits down in a dining room chair. "I would never give up on him. I'm just... scared. What if he rejects me?" He looks like he's on the brink of tears and it nearly breaks my heart to pieces. I look behind me at Tyler, who's watching us intently before turning back to Nick.
Jack is gonna hate me for this.
"He won't. You wouldn't believe how much he talks about you with a dreamy look in his eyes. He even stalks Kyle's Instagram page for photos of you and curses you for not having your own page. And yes he may kill me for exposing him but it's worth it. Talk to him."
He shakes his head nervously. "He might not let me in."
"Unless we make him."
"I have a plan." I lead him upstairs to my room and tell him to stand to the side so that they won't see him when I unlock the door with my key. When I open the bedroom door asking for Sara, she comes out, giving me the chance to push Nick in.
Jack looks at me with wide eyes and shouts, "Kacey what the hell?" He tries to run out but I shut the door before he can.
I hear him collide with the door and whine. "Talk to him Jack. Don't come out until you do."
He groans. "I said hi to him now let me out!" The door only locks from the outside. You need the key to unlock it.
One day the lock broke and my dad decided to step up and fix it instead of calling a professional.
"Nope. Not until you've really talked. Kisses!" I blow a kiss at the door, take the keys and go back downstairs. "Alright! Let's set this table!"
