Just My Luck

Trouble in paradise

Mack POV

Well I had been informed by Gramps that the welcome back party for Sebastian was gonna be on Saturday, which is my birthday. He was afraid id be upset but man let me tell you this could possibly be the best news I've ever received. I hate when people try to celebrate my birthday I have to fake smile and keep thanking people for wishing me a good day.

Sebastian had become friends with Kim and Adam over the week. They've all been spending a lot of time together. It's been 5 days since they met! 5 freak my days and they all act like they've been friends since childhood. You would think MY best friend would want to hang out with me the day before my birthday but when I called her she said her and Adam were going on a date. Gotta keep the romance alive somehow.

I was sitting on my bed staring at the ceiling. It was 2 AM and I couldn't sleep, Sebastian's party was tomorrow. I haven't really seen him since Monday he is either in his room or with Kim/Adam. Tomorrow was my birthday at 3:17 my wolf and I connection will be complete and we can start looking for our mate. A mate.

I wonder what my mate would be like. I hope we fall in love like my mother and father. They were always happy together. I remember taking a picture of them with the new camera i had for when I was little, my mother smiled at the camera and my father smiled at my mother. The way he looked at her.. I can't remember the way he looked at her! I can't remember her face.

I started to panic I can't remember my parents faces I have to find the picture. I jumped off my bed and dove into my closet ripping things out and throwing them around until i found it. My little blue box. I sat on the floor in front of my bed and opened it, sitting on top was the teddy bear my father gave me, it was the last thing he ever gave me. Under it was a tiny ring box it had my father and mothers wedding bands. Then there was the letter from that night, and finally the picture.

I picked it up and stared at it. My mother she was so beautiful, my father so strong. I felt hot tears begin to roll down my face but I couldn't stop or wipe them away. All I could do was memorize their blurry faces.

I didn't hear my door open or even feel his presence when he sat down next to me and stared at the picture too. I set the picture back in the box and turned to him.

"I couldn't remember their faces." I sobbed. What shocked me next was when Sebastian grabbed my shoulders and hugged me. He buried his face in my hair and I wrapped my arms around him and allowed him to comfort me.

"It's okay to cry Mackenzie, I cry when I feel like I can't remember my parents. I even cry when I have nightmares about the night they died, I keep remembering seeing my mothers lifeless face and my father being ripped apart." Sebastian said. He pulled me tighter, "it makes me sad for a moment but, then I remember all the good times and I savor them."

My crying had stopped and i just stayed in his arms. We sat on my floor for about 10 minutes before he pulled away. He looked me dead in my eyes. I could feel my wolf begin to stir. Then he leaned forward and kissed me, it was so soft and loving. Also it didn't last long because he pulled away.

"I'm so sorry." He rushed I don't know what came over me. I was still a little bit dazed. He quickly got up and went to the door.

"Wait! Sebastian." I called to him before he could leave. When I turned around he had his whole left side of his body out the door and just stood there frozen. "Sebastian, will you stay with me tonight?"
