Shewolf

Chapter: 8

Chapter: 8

The whole ride home I kept thinking about that wolf, and the fact that it reminded me of Jeremy. I kind of surprised myself when I realized my mind was on that and not the whole Brittany meeting Jeremy. And that they were naked together. I mean, I guess deep down inside I knew they didn't do anything. Brittany's my best friend, why would she do that? But what could be the logical explanation for them to be together naked at this time in the morning? I kept asking myself that but couldn't seem to find the answer. I was just really hot; I was angry. When I got home I ran up to my room with nothing but confusion, still, blurring my mind. I shout my door, more like slammed though, and sat on my bed. I was really angry and was starting to scare me. I never get this angry. Once again, what the fuck is wrong with me. There was a small knock at my door just before my mom walked in. She stood at the door way just looking at me. Her face had a concerned look at first. But when she realized that I realized it, she smiled. She started over to me with her arms out. That made all my anger melt away. I stood up and hugged her. We hugged for, what seemed like, forever. She pulled away just a little to look at me. Her eyes dug into my soul.

"It's okay Monie." She said as she petted the side of my face and neck. My mom always had a way of knowing why I was upset. It was like she could read my mind at times. So, when she asked me "What's going on?" I thought it was strange. I just told her Brittany and I had a small argument. Most young adults might see that as a pain in the ass, but for as long as I could remember, my mom has always known my problems before the words even spelled out my mouth; it was a quality that I appreciated about her.

"Well on the brighter side, your birthday is next mouth." She said with a smile on her face. That made me smile. I had completely forgot. My 18th birthday would be here. Now that I thought about that, this anger I had for a situation I knew nothing about seemed beyond stupid. I had to just calm down. When I see Brittany I'll just come clean and ask her what's going on. And if she does have a thing with Jeremy, who am I to get in the middle. She knew him way before I was even in the picture. And she has been having a lot of problems with Charlie. She needs this.

"But he is ours"

I looked up at my mom. She was looking at me.
"What did you say?"

"I said what do you have planed for your birthday?"

"I'm not sure yet mom." I said and sat on my bed.

"Well it's early so try and get some rest."

"Ummm, okay." I watched my mom leave my room and shut my door. Now this shit is really not making any sense. My mother, Karen Jones, the overprotective, somewhat crazy and know all women is not herself. My mom would never do any of the things that just took place. She would know why I was upset, she wouldn't just let me get away with coming in the house so early, she would never just leave without giving me hell. All this shit is just really confusing. And I could have sworn that I heard my mom say "but he is ours" as if she were in my head. Am I hearing things now? Maybe I need rest. Yeah, that sounds about right. I took off my clothes and got under my covers. I closed my eyes and dozed off.
