Chapter four – Welcome Home
We drove for what seemed like eternity but Jake and I had fun. I told him all about my past, how I was born with a hole in my heart, how I HATE my name since it was kind of the reason everyone teased me. My mother just had to name me Aliennette. I mean come on. Who names their daughter after an alien of all things! I told him how I felt heart broken before time, how I was pretty much a girl player, but I used it to let people have an insight on my life. To see how much I'm hurting. How I hate anything and everything pink, my favorite color is yellow, I like fashion but to keep up my look, I dress in the bad girl type. Leather jacket, high heels, he knew the type. I have to have some type of coffee in the morning, how I hate school, and the most important thing in my life and what I cherish the most is the super natural world.
Yeah, I know I don't seem like the type, but for some reason I feel like things such as fairies and vampires, and ghosts are really out there somewhere. I could spend hours watching ghost hunters, or the next episode of vampire diaries. He tensed up at that subject, so I guess he's not a believer but other than that took it pretty well. I told him how I'm pretty sure I'm a witch in more sense than one but how I really wish I had powers. And then I laid the big whopper on him, and he laughed out loud.
" Why are you laughing? " I hissed. " Because Ali, of course love exists, it exists everywhere, but your false judgment made it easier for you to think that it doesn't. I'll tell you now, that by the time you go back to Florida, or whatever you'll have to do when its time for a change, you'll be in love." Jake replied. I scoffed at him, me fall in love never. But I took him up on that offer. " It's a deal, if I win, which I will, then you have to run around school in your underwear." He smiled and said " If I win then you have to deal with me cracking jokes on you and your 1st true love about it for as long as you two may live." It was my turn to smile then. " You're so on! " then Jake told me about his story.
I could tell he was hiding things but I didn't mind, everyone has their own personal bubble, and I definitely wasn't ready to explore outside of mine just yet. " I was in love, just like you, and I put everything on the line for her, I truly believed I loved her, and when her boyfriend …umm…left her, I was there for her, she began to get out of her zombie state, and began to interact with people again. I fell in love with her that summer. Her name was Bella, and even after her boyfriend came back, I still loved her, and was hoping that she would forget about him and choose me. But she didn't in the end she chose him and not me…. But its okay, because I found the one I really did love because of her, and I knew that if I had not fallen in love with her first I never would have found my true love.
In the end two broken hearts were made whole again, and they both learned to love again. You'll be fine Ali, and trust me, if anyone gets on your nerve, its easy, you get the girl and Ill get the boy. We'll enjoy our scrambled faces together." We laughed and I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I looked and saw something running. It looked like a huge dog, or medium horse. It was running really fast along the beach, it was dark but I could see it because its coat was a caramel color and stood out. It was faster than the car going 60 miles an hour. I had my mouth open in shock.
Jake followed my gaze, and instead of joining me in shock, he began to tremble, or shake if you could call it that. But he wasn't scared, he was angry. " Jake…what's wrong, did you see it, that's a really big dog." I said, but he was even angrier. Then the dog stopped and howled to the moon before collapsing on the floor in a human form. I shook my head trying to clear it somehow. I didn't get a chance to say anything when we made a sharp turn that cut off my view. Then we pulled into the driveway.
See, I knew such things as werewolves were out there. Slowly I made my way out of the car, and as soon as Jake put my luggage on the porch he whispered fiercely to Billy, and ran toward the beach, "Jake where are you going?" I shouted. I didn't know if he could hear me, but apparently he did. "I'll be back soon I promise, and we'll talk but I got to handle a little business." With that he smiled and continued on his way.
