Chapter one- Happy birthday?
I stared out of the lake, the same lake that I spent every single free moment at since the showdown two months ago. Two months ago when I learned that the boy, Chase Collins, who I was falling for was the fifth member of the Covenant of silence and that he planned to kill my best friend Caleb to gain his power. It was a lot to soak in, so that's why I sat here at the lake where I had wonderful times with Chase, yea sure I hate him now but then it was different. I hugged my sweatshirt closer as the November air blew on my back, I sighed feeling as if someone else was there standing beside me but I knew I was alone. Alone, it was what I liked now a days, no one understood what I felt not even Pogue though he tried to help me I just pushed him away. I tried to push them all away but none of them would leave me alone, I mean Kate moved into my dorm because Heather switched and she said Sarah was bugging her. I was just glad they allowed me to be alone and think.
"Jayla, I know you're out here come on your party starts soon, hurry your ass up." I smiled beside myself, okay yea I said I liked to be alone but it seemed when ever someone was around I didn't feel as bad. I guess its only when I am alone that he creeps back into my thoughts, my mind and my heart. I stood up brushing the dead leaves from my denim skirt before I rushed around the house smiling at Kate and Pogue. Pogue had driven me to the lake so I had to go to my party thought I wish I could skip my own birthday, sad huh? It was weird that Caleb, Pogue, Reid and I were born so close all a month apart. I got into Kate's new Lexus just as she began to blare the Veronicas out of her speakers causing Pogue to groan and me to sing along to every song. It was the funniest drive to the Garwin mansion ever; the only bad thing was I hadn't been home since last school year. I have a habit of avoiding my house like the plague now I have to face my mother on my birthday.
"She is not their Jayla, Reid sent her out." I sighed but glared at how Pogue seemed to read my thoughts sometimes, I swear the boys can read minds but won't teach me how. It's mean. When we got to my house I saw about thirty cars I didn't recognize, must be my brothers friends, when we walked in the party was in full swing but one thing caught my eye. What caught my eye in the mass of people were three lovely looking Germans standing near the stairs before they same I ran toward them and jumped on one of the boy's back.
"Good to see you too Shadow." I loved their ascents; I missed them even if I saw Axel two months earlier I missed them all. These three were my life line while I was in Germany and when I was here I swear my cell phone bill must be out of control. They all smiled and we began a simple conversation until Josh pulled me to the makeshift dance floor which was filled with sweaty bodies. He pulled me to him by my hips; I was shocked at this because well Josh had always been like Baby boy, shy. This was definitely not the Josh I remembered and I couldn't figure out of why I liked it. I didn't care though it felt good to know I was safe with him, as he ran his hands up and down my back. When the song ended I excused myself to get a drink, my mouth was dry from all the heat, once I walking into the kitchen I realized my mistake.
"I can't take this Caleb, I love you but if you don't want to be with me I get it." I couldn't believe they were fighting, I mean they were perfect for each other but judging by Sarah's tone it was serious. Caleb looked angry like he was offended, I shouldn't listen but I couldn't help it.
"That's not it Sarah, I want to be with you. I care about you so much." I don't know if she realized he said care instead of love, I did which surprised me. Caleb was always one to say he loved you if he meant it. Maybe it was just because they were fighting.
"Than tell me how you feel, tell me what's on your mind. Ever since your birthday you have been different." Caleb hadn't been different, well not when I was around which was rarely but still, I would be able to tell.
"I can't Sarah." She just shook her head leaving him in the kitchen; I walked in to get my drink just as he put his head in his hands. He looked up as I opened the bottle of beer that I grabbed from the fridge, he looked surprised to see me, I had to admit it hurt that he was shocked that I wouldn't come to my own party.
"I am sorry about your fight with Sarah." All he did was nod walking toward me, there was something in his eyes that I didn't like I had a feeling this wasn't going to end well.
"Can I talk to you?" I smiled, his voice was quiet almost guilty but it was cute, which was the reason I smiled.
"Caleb we are talking I mean it's not like we never talk." He sighed and gave me a serious look, yea this was definitely not going to be a good conversation, it was going to be one of those conversation that's have been a long time coming.
"No I mean in private, its important please." I nodded as I followed him out of the kitchen, back into the living room then up stairs to my brother's old room, of all the places. I sat on my brother's bed while he pulled a computer chair to where I sat and he sat in front of me. There was a pause between us for a moment I don't think either of us knew what to say; it was awkward to say the least. He did speak though after the pause.
"I want to talk about the kiss before the fall fest." I knew what he was talking about, he had kissed me while everyone else was asleep, he told me I will always been in his heart. The only reason he kissed me was because he didn't think he would defeat Chase but he did so I told him after the kiss wasn't necessary anymore. The kiss though was not something I like to talk about let alone think about, at the time I still had feelings for him but now I was getting over it.
"Caleb come on, we can just let it go okay. I told you after you killed Chase that the kiss was a waste you were still alive. Plus I don't like you like that and you don't like me anymore we established that when school ended last year." He sighed looking in his eyes I could see he was battling with himself, over what I didn't know.
"That's not true, I do have feelings for. More than I should, I never got over you Jay I just had to because I was scared that if I still loved you I would lose you." He was only saying this because he was fighting with Sarah. I mean he couldn't still love me, could he? It was a scary thought and it was not something I wanted to think about.
"No you don't, you love Sarah. Your fighting I understand that Caleb but saying you love me isn't going to stop the fighting just apologize to her." He shook his head standing up then picking me up off the bed; I guess he wanted to add effect to what he was going to say next.
"I don't care if I am fighting with her, god damn it Jay I love you." I couldn't say anything because his lip crashed onto mine and he pushed me onto the bed before climbing on top of me. I wasn't scared, okay maybe I was I had never seen Caleb this was before ever.
"Caleb you don't want to do this, you have a girlfriend who loves you and who love." It was like he was drunk or high on something but his eyes told me he wasn't, I couldn't explain what was happening and it was shocking.
"Everyone tells me to say how I feel, to tell them whats on my mind well that whats I am doing. Jayla I wont do this if you don't want me to, I love you." I couldn't tell him to stop because his lips found mine, then the next thing I know we are both shirtless and his eyes are black as night then his warm brown again. He removed his mouth for me to breath but before I could speak again he cover it with his again, his tongue begging for entrance to my mouth as his hands roam my legs. When his left hand goes under my skirt is when I turn my eyes black and push him off me. I would not allow this.
"I don't want this, I don't want you. I don't love you." I could see the hurt in his eyes but it was for the best, I knew in my heart it would never work. I threw on my shirt as quickly as possible and ran out of the room to the living room. It didn't know that I was crying until Axel questioned me on my smeared makeup, realizing that I had cried and still was I bolted out of the house into the wood before he could ask another thing. I ran until I found an old fort the guys and I had built when we were eight, when I reached there I just collapsed on the ground, it was all too much. Why the hell did Caleb have to do that? I just sat there as rain began to fall, I could hear cars driving away in the distance and I checked my watch. It was almost midnight, the time my brother and I were born, great now I was going to ascend all alone. I leaned against an old oak tree and began singing softly to myself. The song was sad and soft but I eventually had to stop as I began to sob, I hated crying but I promised myself I would never cry in front of the guys. I looked down at the ground, it was dark I was even surprised I found this place but I guess I memorized these woods years ago. With one more glanced down at my watch I prepared myself to ascend, I was ready to do this alone. Then I heard my brother screams, they were distant but I felt his pain as he began to a ascend, a few minutes later his screams stopped and mine began as I was lifted into the air filled with a pain I had never felt before. When I was over I fell to the ground, I wasn't sore or anything like I thought, but I was still alone. My only thought was that the guys didn't care and they left me here to get sick in the rainy woods, all alone.
"You're never alone." I shook my head at the voice; I stood up not knowing what to do. He couldn't be here it wasn't possible.
"Your right, I am not there but I am always in your heart Jayla you can't get rid of me." I let out a yell, it wasn't true. He wasn't part of me; he was not in my heart. I began to shake, this couldn't be happening. He was dead, gone from my life forever; I should be able to move on.
"You'll never move on Jayla, I will make sure that anyone who tries to take you from me will pay. When I come back, you will be mine." I was scared, his voice was so dark so angry but it held a lustful tone that I didn't like.
"NO, NO, No you're dead, you're gone shut up." I could feel tears forming in my eyes but I would not allow him to know I was crying. His deep enchanting laugh though told me he knew, I was upset that I wanted to cry.
"Keep dreaming darling." I shook my head, it couldn't be true.
"I hate you Chase."
My eyes shot open and I found myself in an unfamiliar bed with someone's arms around my waist causing me to thrash about thinking it was him, the monster from my nightmare.
"Jayla calm down will you please. I am hung over and you're not helping." I calmed down at Josh's voice, glad to know I was safe with him. I heard the bedroom door open which caused me to look over at Pogue who just walked in, seeing him made me smile only slightly.
"Hey your awake." I nodded , he came on sat on the bed next to me as Josh's arms left me and he got up off the bed walking out of the room.
"Pogue, what happened? I remember being in the forest after my ascension and then nothing." I didn't want to mention my nightmare though it was probably something I should tell him.
"Well after you left Axel went looking for you but since he didn't know the woods he got lost in the rain. As soon as Reid ascended Caleb and I searched the woods, we heard you scream and ran toward the fort where we found you passed out." I nodded, hoping to god Caleb didn't touch me, I wasn't too happy with him after last night but my nightmare just made it all worse.
"Thank you, I thought you guys were going to leave me out there all alone." I looked away, Pogue was the only one I could talk freely too.
"Don't you ever think that baby girl. We love you so much, it will kill us to lose you." I smiled and hugged him for the first time in two months, the thought of Chase being alive made me cherish my friends even more now.
"I know, I am so tired, what time is it." The boy before me laughed checking his phone shaking his head.
"its about six in the evening, your not going to sleep. Go shower we are going to Nicky's." I shook my head laughing, I couldn't believe I slept so long but I got out of bed noticing I was in my pajamas. I gave Pogue a questioning look and he just told me Kate changed me, with a sigh of relief I grabbed clothes to change into after my shower.
After my shower I felt more awake and ready to party since yesterday my partying was cut short. When I was fully ready I walked out of my room and into my living room where my three German best friends were waiting, I was excited because they were all going to go to Spencer.
"Okay how are we getting there?" I didn't have my car and I knew their cars were still in Germany but I smiled as Axel held up my key ring. I went to take the keys but him and Josh ran out of the house, he always wanted to drive my Impala.
"Damn it Nala, he is going to kill my car." I smiled at my black haired best friend as her icy blue eyes shined with joy. We chased after the boys and jumped into the back seat of my Impala as Axel sped off in the direction I told him Nicky's was. We were about a ,ile from Nicky's when we were pulled over for speeding, I told Axel he wasn't allowed to go over fifty but no he wanted to go eighty miles an hour. I was happy to see the cop was an old friend Ryan lyric he wouldn't be to harsh if I talked to him. He looked at Axel with suspicion before I spoke up.
"Hey Ry, how is the force. I can't believe you made it." The older boy smiled at me shaking his.
"Why am I not surprised that your in the car Jay?" I gave him a shy smile, Ryan was a senior when the guys and I came into high school but we all became best friends.
"Hey, this is my friend from Germany. He doesn't know the rules I will take over." I stepped out of the car kicking Axel out of the front seat and he be grudgingly got in the back. When I got into the drivers seat I smiled at Ryan and he just shook his head at me giving me his signature smile.
"I heard about your boyfriend Chase, I am." Before he could finish I took off in the direction of Nicky's. Why did he have to bring that up? When I pulled up I told everyone to go in, I had to think for a second so they listened leaving me all alone in the car.
"If your back, I will kill you for good." I spoke to no one but at the same time I knew he could hear me. Sighing I got out of the car walking into Nicky's not noticing the stranger standing in the dark next to a black Mustang.
