Mine, Mine, and Mine. (HIATUS)

Chapter 8

MICHAEL

"Spar with me."

"No."

"Spar with me."

"I don't feel like it."

My family arrived about an hour after I did. They were surprised but happy to see me. My dad initiated a group hug and small talk before they dispersed heading separate ways. My mom in the kitchen and my dad in his office. My sister, to my dismay, stayed in the living room with me.

I thought she had finally given up. Key word 'thought'. That thought was instantly destroyed when a pillow hit the back of my head.

"Stop moping around like a little bitch a spar with me you twat."

"May! Watch your mouth." My mother shouted from the kitchen.

"Sorry mom!" May said while narrowing her eyes at me and flipping me off. 'Bitch,' she mouthed to me.

"May." The voice of my mother was heard once again, this time stern.

"Oh come on, how did you hear that!" She exclaimed.

"I didn't, you just told on yourself. Now leave your brother alone."

May sighed, finally giving up. I felt her stare in the back of my head before she sighed once more retreating to her room upstairs. I heard the close of her door and I released a sigh of my own.

'If you want to talk I'm in my room.' My sisters voice came softly through the mindlink.

I smiled slightly 'Thanks May.'

'And you're not a bitch, I just thought that if I said that you'd get up and spar with me. I didn't like seeing you look sad so I thought sparring would make you happier, maybe I should try a diff-' she rambled.

'It's okay May, relax.' I laughed 'I know you're intentions were pure.'

'Oh, okay. Cool.' She sighed a loud and exasperated sigh. I heard it all the way from the living room. 'Did you hear me sigh?'

'Hard to miss it.'

'Good, love ya bro. If anyone hurts you I'll kick their ass okay?' I could imagine her fighting the air right now.

'Love you too sis. But I swear I'm fine.' With that said I closed off our link.

Maybe a nap would do me some good. I closed my eyes ready to drift sleep when-

'You really don't have to mope around like a little bitch I said one thing made you realize the truth and all of a sudden you're pmsing, save that for the humans and wolf-up homie.' The one and only Issac decided to speak through our link.

'Not now Issac, let me sleep.' I groaned.

'See this is what we not gone do. Our birthday is tomorrow and you want to take a nap?' He sounded outraged.

'It's not even like tha-'

'It's exactly like that. Get up and get hype. You are shifting for the first time tomorrow, why aren't you excited? Not only do you get to become closer to the one and only moi, but you also have a chance of finding our other half.' I could feel Issac pacing.

'Okay you're right.'

'Nope! I don't want to hear it- wait what?'

'I said okay, you're right.' Shaking my head I continued. 'I've been anticipating this day far too long to not be hype about it.'

'I'd ask you to pinch me if I weren't in your head. You actually agreed with me for once in your life. Wow. I'm flabbergasted.'

I responded with another shake of my head closing our link. I got up from the couch and headed upstairs to my old room. Opening the door I welcomed the nostalgic feeling of my dark blue walls nearly  covered in posters and my sisters art work.

A small smile crept up on my face at the one above my bed. May painted that one when she was 14 for my 16th birthday. It was and still is by far my favorite. A human and a wolf head to head. Their eyes closed and souls intertwined, 'they are one and always will be' she said.

That night I talked to my wolf for the first time.

I made my way to my closet knowing I should at least have a few decent items of clothing. I pulled out black jeans that had rips here and there, a black and white striped shirt, and my jean jacket that I could've sworn I'd lost. I laid the clothes on my bed then grabbed my white high top converse from the bottom of my closet. After sitting the shoes near my bed, I admired my choice of clothing. I knew how to dress.

'Slow ya roll pal, you knew nothing about style until you met me.'  Issac graced me with his presence.

'What do you mean? I've been styling since day one.' I brushed the imaginary dust of my shoulders.

'You use to wear sketchers.'

'Woah, woah. There's nothing wrong with sketchers.'

'You were 16 man.'

'So what? They were comfortable.'

'They lit up. You had light up sketchers Michael.' He deadpanned.

'I- they were for an, om, sketchers party?'

I heard Issac wheeze suddenly, 'Good one Mikey phew. Same party you wore that skirt to?'

'IT WAS A KILT ISSAC LEAVE IT ALONE!'

He was laughing uncontrollably when I closed our link.

With I frustrated sigh I began to get ready.

—*—*—

I had showered, gotten dressed, brushed my hair, and was making my way down the stairs by 4:47pm. I'd said a quick goodbye to my family telling them I'd see them tomorrow for my celebration. I didn't leave without making a quick stop by our basement.

The door near the stair case led downstairs to our game/party room. Big Tv, game systems, bar, etc. It was the big hangout spot for parties, simple hangouts, or just family fun.

One thing I know my mom did was keep the alcohol in stock. She loved her drinks as much as my dad loved that TV.

I grabbed a medium box from the storage in the basement and packed what would fit. I quickly closed the box and made my way up the stairs and out the house with my mom calling after me, she's just have to kill me later.

The walk back to me and the triplet's home seemed quicker than the walk from it. I was there in no time. The car still in the drive way and I'm sure the boys were still home.

My cheeks heated with the thought of facing Jason or any of the triplets at all for goddess sake. I shook my head to rid the thoughts of this morning and prepared myself to walk through the front door.

I could do this, just cracking open a cold one with the boys before my birthday.

'Never, and I mean never say that again. Like ever. Please goddess no.' Issac begged.

I rolled my eyes and before I could respond the front door flew open.
