~Mayday Parade-Miserable At Best

Jade

I breathed out a bored sigh, as I stared blankly at Scissors's cage. I watched his little nose twitch as he stared back at me. My life seemed so empty now, without Beck. I loved...love him, and he choose Elizabeth. He left me for my third great grandmother, I let out a bitter chuckle at the thought. A tap on my bedroom window brought me out of my depressing thoughts. I lazily trudged to the window and opened it. Vic climbed in with a small, comforting smile on her face. My eyes wandered down to the five DVD cases she had in her right hand, then my gaze flickered to the large grocery bag; filled to the top with unknown items, in her left hand. I quirked a brow at her. She smiled sheepishly.
"I, uh, brought some movies, candy, popcorn, and your favorite kind of ice cream; Coffee." She said and grinned at me, I merely gave her a blank stare in return. Her grin faltered, but she cleared her throat and handed me the movies.
"Why don't you pick out a movie, and I'll go start the popcorn?" Vic asked as she grabbed the popcorn from the grocery bag. I shook my head, then threw the movies onto my bed. I plopped down on the floor, grabbed a pair of scissors that lay hidden under my nightstand, and began cutting up my English homework that I wasn't going to do.
"I don't want to watch any stupid movies." I said without looking away from my handiwork.
"You want to do something else?" Vic suggested as she took a seat next to me. I shook my head, she sighed and began to look around the room while humming some random tone. It got annoying really quick. I threw my scissors and cut up paper down harshly.
"Look, I don't want to do anything, I want to be alone! Okay?! I know you're bored, and hanging out with me isn't going to be that much fun. But I'm upset okay?! Beck left me, I choose him and he left me! So, why don't you do me a favor and take yourself for a walk!" I snarled viciously at her. My heart sank a little when I saw the hurt that flashed through her eyes. I shook my head, then stomped over to my bed. I growled at the stupid grocery bag and movies that lay on there. I quickly flung the items out of my still open window. I exasperated, then flopped down on the soft mattress. I heard the shuffling of feet then the bed shifted a little. I opened one eye to see Vic lying next to me. She tentatively reached a hesitant over and placed it gently on top of my own hands that were folded together on my stomach. I sighed, but couldn't bring myself to look at her.
"I know you're hurting, Jade, I can see it and I can sense it. What he did to you was wrong, just leaving without an explanation, without even a goodbye. But, I promise not to leave you ever. I'll be here for you through it all. Whenever you need me, I'm there." Vic said determinedly. I shuttered a sad sigh, and blinked away a few tears.
"I just...can I be alone right now? I just want to sleep..." I mumble. She nods defeatedly, and heads back to the window. After she left, with silent sobs choking me, I slowly fell asleep.

My throat was dry when I awoke the next morning. I tiredly trudged to the bathroom across the hall, from my bedroom. I did my business then got ready for school...god I hate Mondays. A thick blanket of snow covered the ground...goddamned January weather. I sighed, as I slowly made my way across the cold terrain. I heard the familiar grunting of Vic's raggedy engine as she pulled up beside me.
"I figured you could use a ride..." She mumbled, when she rolled down the window. I cocked a skeptical eyebrow.
"Why are you up at 7:00 in the morning?" I asked, then climbed in.
"That would be my fault." Danny's voice echoed through the small double cab. I whirled around to see him sitting in the back seat. I glared at him, then whipped my head to face Vic. She knew I didn't like him, therefore she would get chewed out first.
"And why is he here?" I demanded. She let out a nervous chuckle.
"I kind of have to enroll him at your school." She said quietly.
"What? Why?!" I exclaimed, Vic flinched slightly but started to drive anyway.
"He's only fifteen, Jade, he needs an education." She explained.
"But, why does he have to go to my school?!" I yelled.
"Holly, thought it would be easier this way. Plus he could keep an eye on you for me." She tells me. I glared at her.
"First off, I don't need you to look after me, I can take care of myself! And I don't need him following me around like a lost puppy!" I ranted.
"I'm sorry..." Vic apologizes to me.
"And second, why doesn't Holly enroll him then? I don't want to have to hitch a ride with him everyday!" I exclaim.
"You're not exactly the nicest person to deal with either, sweetie." Danny interjected.
"I'm Alpha, so it's my responsibility to make sure everyone gets proper training, education, and discipline." Vic explained, ignoring Danny.
"How's that going by the way? The whole Alpha thing. Being in charge sounds pretty fun." I tell her; smiling a little. Vic heaves a tired sigh, she looks over at me; this is the first time I notice the dark circles under her eyes.
"It's not all, it's cracked up to be. There's a lot of responsibility, and hard decisions to make." She answers. And I bet dealing with me and my grumpy attitude adds to all the stress she already has. The rest of the ride is silent.
"Danny, just keep to yourself, okay? Lay low." She tells him as we pull up to the school.
"Have a good day, Jade." Vic says with a small, encouraging smile. I nod, curtly. I don't think she'll ever fully smile around me again...I broke her heart...just like Beck broke mine. We all get out and then they head toward the office. I go to my locker and pray for the day to end quickly.

I was exhausted, emotionally and physically, by the time the bell; letting everyone know that it was time to go home, rung. I begrudgingly threw my books into my locker. I jumped when I hear a voice next to me.
"Are you okay? You seem kind of angry..." Sinjin; A new kid in my Literature class, asked me. I glance sideways at him.
"I'm, fine." I say bluntly, as I swing my heavy book bag over my shoulder.
"Do you need help with that?" He asked hopefully.
"Like you could lift this." I say sarcastically. Sinjin chuckled, and gently took it from me. He easily tossed it over his shoulder; like it weighed nothing.
"Wow, there's like five books in there." I said, slightly impressed. Sinjin merely shrugged.
"I'm stronger than I look." He said. It was then that I noticed his biceps and how huge they were.
"You look pretty strong to me." I joked. We laughed then, my face contorted into a glare as Danny gleefully sauntered up to us.
"Hey, Jade! Whose your friend?" He asked, nodding toward Sinjin.
"None of your business." I snapped at him. Danny faltered slightly. Sinjin looked awkwardly between the two of us.
"Do you need a ride, Jade?" Sinjin asked. Danny glared at him.
"No, she doesn't. Vic is picking us up." Danny said; as a matter of factly.
"A ride would be great." I told Sinjin, ignoring Danny altogether. Sinjin shot Danny a triumphant grin as we passed by him.
"Is he like your new boyfriend or something?" Danny demanded as he jogged next to us.
"If he is, it's none of your business." I told him coldly, as we walked out into the cold breeze.
"Don't you think, you've hurt Vic enough?" Danny snarled at me; gripping my arm tightly. I glared at him as I tried, but failed to get my arm out of his grasp.
"I think you should let her go, she clearly doesn't want to be near you." Sinjin growled darkly. Danny's eyes grew wide but he didn't let go. As soon as Vic's truck pulled up, I knew shit was gonna get even worse. She hopped out of her truck, and before I could blink she was in front of us. She grabbed Danny's wrist so tightly I'm sure it broke. He gasped and his grip on my arm dropped, as he fell to his knees from the pain.
"Never. Touch. Her. Again." Vic ordered him. Her tone made a shiver go down my back. Danny nodded his head urgently. Sinjin tensed beside me, he looked pissed.
"What's wrong?" I ask him.
"You didn't tell me, you were friends with an Alpha." He said in a grave tone. It was my turn to tense. I ever so slightly moved closer to Vic; seeking her protection.
"What are you?" I asked him; my voice lowered. Sinjin shook his head, then opened his mouth like he was going to speak.
"Jade, are you alright?" Vic asked as she gently took my arm in her soft hands and examined it. A purple bruise was already starting to show. Her eyes met mine, then slowly they shifted over to Sinjin. She bristled, I'm sure if she were in her wolf form her fur would've stood on edge. Her lips curled into a snarl.
"Why don't you two go to the truck? I'll be there in a minute." Vic said, her voice surprisingly calm, although she never took her eyes off of Sinjin. I grabbed onto her sleeve; she only wears jackets so that people don't think she's weird during the winter.
"You're not going to hurt him, are you? He's my friend..." I told her, pleading with her to understand. She looked at me then sighed.
"I'll do my best not to hurt him." Vic promised. I smiled slightly, then hugged her. She seemed surprised by this sudden affection, hell, I was too. I hang out with her way too much, and her kindness has been rubbing off on me, I told myself. I let go then reluctantly went to Vic's truck, with Danny following not very far behind.
