What Lies Within a Secret

OK, so i wasn't normal, but being a Werewolf just plain scared me.

I remember when it first happened;

My mom left for work leaving me home alone. My head still hurt from three weeks ago when i came down with a fever, and my wonderful Mother told me to suck it up and go to school. Seth was more supportive. Seth Clearwater, my bestest friend. The only one who could make me laugh and cry at the same time, the only one who would show up to every Lacrosse game, the only one who cared, the only one who would never leave...

Or at least thats what I used to think... But anyway, Seth was leaning agenst my locker as usiual. "Hey Evelyn!" He shouted, his classic grin on his face. He was wearing the shirt from Hollister that I bought him last year for his Fifteenth birthday. His Shaggy black hair kept falling in his eyes, and he would flip it back every so often. "Hey," I said. His face turned to confusion.

"You ok?" He asked, "I'm fine." I answered automaticly. Thats been my answer every day now. 'I'm fine.' But the truth i've relized is that i'm not ok. I've been on edge all day, My back hurts, I've been snaping at every little thing, and i'm really hungry! Just then a Student opened the door causing the wind to blow on me. I smelled somthing... My eyes focoused on the cookie in Seth's hand. He looked down. "Oh, You want half?" I nodded. He split it into two and gave me the big piece. I smiled at him and quickly devoured my half.

Later that day I was really dizzy during History-my only class without Seth. The teacher noticed and sent me to the nurces office. The nurce felt my head and took my temp, then asked for my symptoms. Finally she sent me home.

I came home to my Mom and Brother fighting. My brother wasn't home untill two in the morning last night. I don't understand whats wrong with him. He's huge! My mom says its Sterroids, but all the drug tests come up clean.

I walked into the dining room where they were. My mom was throughing random things. I doged a plate and walked into the kitchen, the fridge was empty. I got really mad over nothing; But i was Really Hungry! "JOSH!" I screamed. The yelling stoped momentarilly. "Why the hell did you eat all the food?" He appered in the doorway, his black cropped hair had piece's of glass in it.

"What?" He spat. My arms started shakeing. His smug expression turned to shock. "Eve," He said with his hands out in surrender, "Calm down." My mom chose that time to come in. "Whats wrong with you?" That was the last straw. I snapped. I saw a flash of red then I felt like my entire body was being ripped apart. I herd a scream and a Howl...

That was two and a half years ago, a lot has changed since then. The first hting that I learned was that I couldn't tell Seth. Seth, Seth, He called every day that I was 'sick.' When I was finally alowed to see him I died right then and there. As soon as I looked into his eyes everything stopped. I felt like i was seeing him for the first time. He was my everything, and i would do anything for him. I could never bear to stay a whole day away from him much less two weeks. How could he have stood it?

It kiled me to think of the pain I've put him through. But aperently he didn't feal the same way. Because one year ago He didn't show up for school. I watched the door all day, waiting and waiting. I must have drawn a million heart shaped clocks.
When i got home I imeditly ran to his house, It barily took me ten seconds because we were neighbors. I didn't even need to knock -not that i would've anyway, They just tell me to come right in- Because Seth opened the door right as i came onto the porch.

"Seth!" i said, out of breath. "Evelyn." he said it with dead voice so emotionless it made me flinch. How can he talk like that to me? "Where were you today?" I asked searching for his eyes, but he wouldn't look at me. "Listen...Evelyn," He said my name like it was somthing he would never say unless forced to. "We can't hang out anymore." I staggered a step backwards. "W-what?" I gasped. I closed my eyes and shook my head. "what do you-"

"Just go." He pleaded. "I'm sorry."

That night I cried longer then I ever had before.
