Chapter 10 - I DON'T WANT TO DIE

We sat on my bed in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, Tyler's arm around me makes me feel safe as I think over my realisation, with Tyler here I don't freak out again, I wonder what could drive a person to commit such heinous acts, what would make someone want to make a deal with the Devil. I take a deep breath before moving away from  Tyler slightly, still holding onto his hand, "I don't want to die," I say quietly as he looks at me shocked, "that's what I started having a panic attack over downstairs, as soon as he knows I exist he'll come for me, and I know it's not going to be to have a chat."

Tyler looks down at me and I can see the determination in his eyes, "no one, and I mean no one is taking you away from me, from your family, I will protect you with everything I have and help you train everyday if that's what it takes, I know you can do it, you just have to believe in yourself." 

I stare in shock at the total, unwavering faith Tyler has in me, and I realise how much he truly means to me, "thank you," I say as I lean forward to kiss him, as always he takes my breath away. When we pull away I smile at him, I can do this, I tell myself, thankful to have someone who believes in me so completely.

"How about we drive down to Oxford Street, we haven't been in a while, we could ask Tia and Liam if they want to come as well, I think they're just hanging out in the pack house today." I smile and get excited, we don't usually go down to central London as our town is about an hour and a half drive by car, a place called Eagles Hollow, my parent's came to live here after college, they'd visited a lot since Tia and Tyler's parents grew up here and fell in love with the place. I'd also learned that sixty-five percent of this town were supernaturals and the rest were human.

As Tyler called Tia to tell her to meet us at my house, I went downstairs to let my mum know our plans, "I'm glad you're feeling better sweetheart, I know this is a lot and we should have told you sooner but I think it's a great idea for you to go have some fun."

I give my mum a tight hug, "it's okay mum, I understand, I realised how much I appreciated having a normal life without the supernatural stress on top of it, entiendo mama." She smiles as we pull away whilst Tyler makes his way downstairs to let me know that Tia and Liam will be here soon.

We had an amazing day in Oxford Street, we went around to a bunch of shops and brought some new clothes and jewellery before going to Pizza Hut for something to eat, it was an amazing day and really took my mind off of everything that had been making me feel so stressed and I felt grateful to Tyler for suggesting it. On the way back Tia decided to stay over at mine since we hadn't had a sleepover since my birthday and we wanted a girls night before I went back to practicing my powers tomorrow when Charlotte came back.

It was a good night, the boys stayed till about eleven before driving home, luckily Tia and I left clothes and a toothbrush at each other's houses so she didn't really need to go back to grab anything.

****************

I woke up to the sun shining on my face and the sounds of Tia's light snoring filling the otherwise soundless room, I look to the clock on my wall to see it's only ten am, I'm glad I had a girls night with Tia, I really needed it to completely help me destress after yesterday. I'm determined to do my best and try my hardest to control my powers, hopefully it'll get easier soon.

Charlotte should be here around twelve which gives me about two hours to shower, get dressed and have breakfast, I got up to go brush my teeth before heading back into the room. When I look at my phone I notice that I have a message from Tyler letting me know he'll be here around half eleven, I smile at the message and reply back. Sometimes it's so weird to think that we're actually dating, despite knowing deep down it's what I wanted, the reality of it is just unreal.
