The World We Belong To

Chapter 25

Newt's POV:

After leaving her at her house, I went to Jo's, I left my car at her house last night and without getting caught, I took my car and drove home. No matter how much I try to hide my smile, it wouldn't go off my face. When I came home, Jenna was waiting for me.

"Hello little sister" I said.

"Someone's in a good mood today" she said. I sat on the couch and took the news paper on the table to read. Jenna sat next to me.

"Its 7 in the morning Newt, you said you would come home early" she asked.

"Sorry, I was caught up with something so I stayed at one of my friends" I said.

"Oh you have friends here...that's surprising" she said with a sarcastic laugh. I just sighed.

"So does that friend of your stays in the woods??" she asked as she took the grass out of my hair. 

shit. 

"Fine..I was with her okay, happy now?" I said.

"No, I am not!!! seriously what are you thinking Newt??  you know you can't be with a witch" she said. I put the paper on the table.

"I know okay..I know I can't but I can't be way from her Jenna, I just can't and this isn't just some kind of attraction. I have dated before and none of them were like this one. with Susie, everything feels real. Different" I explained.

Jenna shook her head not knowing what to say. I took her hands into mine and said.

"Look the stories that a witch and a beast can't be together are just made up, I heard how the curse has started. They were so in love Jenna, and after they killed Marcus, they lived happily and that's what's gonna happen to me and Susie. There's nothing to be worried about, trust me" 

"I don't know Newt, I don't feel good about this" she said with worry.

"Nothing will happen Jenna, I will take care of everything, just don't tell mom and dad about this, I will tell them myself when time comes " I said. she just nodded still with worry.

Susie's POV:

When I was home with this stupid smile on my face, I saw dad was sitting on the couch staring at the TV which wasn't playing, he looks pretty angry, god I'm so done today. I prayed to god to save me.

"Hmm dad.." I called, he looked at me with that serious face. "I can explain...I wasn't planning to stay out all night ..its just..." 

"That's not what I am concerned about now." he said. 

What?!! what is so concerning than his daughter staying out all night.

"Where are the books?" he asked. so that's what more important. Right!! "I told you not to read them... give me the books right now" he asked.

"Okay..I am so done with this all dad. Now I want you to tell me the truth, no more hiding things, so please just tell me" I asked.

"You don't have to know, just hand me the books" 

"Why? what are you so afraid of dad?" I asked. I now know beasts are real but witches, I'm not so sure. I can ask Newt but I didn't want to shoot questions on him right after I found out his truth.

"Is everything in there true dad?! does witches and beasts exist? " I asked.

"Susie...please, I am begging you to stop this madness now and give me those books back" he asked.

I shook my head and said.

"Sorry...I am just like you, too stubborn. So I am not giving them back to you until you tell me the reason why you are so against me to read it?!"
