Chapter 6

Jake walked me home quietly. As he planted a kiss on my forehead he told me not to worry about it.

" Get some rest, Sam." he told me then he turned and left, leaving me on my doorstep.

When Jake had found me I was crying on the Park bench. He had pulled me into his arms and I cried even more. He told me that it wasn't my fault and that he should have just told his mom he didn't like John.

That wasn't exactly soothing but it was close enough.

He pulled me up and we had started walking to my house.

I opened my door and walked in. Shoot, I always forget to lock my door. Ah, who cares. I walked over to my couch, too tired to go upstairs where my bed was, then sat down. I stared at my hands thinking about how I would face Lily while knowing how she feels about me. Well she didn't say she hated me, right? Maybe I'll just act like I didn't hear anything and just went for a early morning walk.

Yeah, right. Of course she will know I heard. Damn. What am I going to do!? Ill just avoid going to their house. Besides I need to go shopping for some groceries, so ill go out tomorrow. I'll make that little trip last all day.... hopefully.

I got up the next morning nervous, feeling sick, and hoping that I wouldn't run into Jake's mom at the store. I tried calming down by taking large deep breaths but it didn't really work.

I put on my royal blue puffy skirt with a matching corset. Told you I love my corsets. I put on some matching high top converse and headed out to go grocery shopping. I decided walking would take a while, which is what I wanted.

I started walking down the street with cash in my hand. Where the hell am I going to put this? I have no pockets, and I am NOT putting that down my boobs. What about my shoes?

I stuffed my money in my royal blue converse, shaking my leg to make it more comfortable. Eh, it could be worse then this.

I had been walking for about 20 minutes when I finally spotted the grocery store. Well this is good! The neighbor hood over here doesn't seem so creepy. Right when I thought that, I saw a hobo walking out from around a corner. Oh, crap.

I sped up the pace, walking quicker. Hopefully the dude wont see me. When I finally got to the grocery store, which happens to be the tiniest grocery store you can have in a town, I practically ran in. phew!

I got a few things that I needed and took it over to the cash register. I was only shopping for about 45 minutes, and had a bag full of groceries.

The lady did her job and stuffed the food in a paper bag.

" That will be $52.95." the lady said smiling.

I smiled and handed her the money, then grabbed my paper bag full of groceries. I walked out of the store, and noticed the sky was darkening. It must be getting ready to rain. RAIN!!!!!? Oh shit!

I practically started running, or attempted to, but the bag wasn't as light as I hoped it would be. I was balancing the bag in my arms trying to look over it to see where I was going.

I was just about to pass an alley when a hand grabbed me and yanked me back into the creepy alley. NO! NOT THE HOBO!!! I practically yelled this in my head, and was about to scream when someones hand went over my mouth, stopping my scream from escaping.

I dropped my paper bad full of groceries and struggled to get the nasty hand off of my face. I was thrown back into the alley wall, and someones body was pressing against mine. I guess it was a guy's since it was all muscle. I looked up to see the mans face and froze.

Tell me something … why would the guy, or should I say vampire, who saved me a few years ago be attempting to kidnap me? Yeah I didn't know either.

" Ill let you go if you promise not to scream." He told me seriously.

I nodded, well attempted to nod but it was hard with his hand crushing my mouth. I felt him loosen his hold and step back. I took a huge breath and was about to ask what that was all about but the next thing I know, he's up against the wall like I was and someones hand was at his throat

I followed the hand up the arm and to the face, and I saw ...Jake!? WTF! When did he... how did he know... OH GOD! Hes trying to fight with a vampire! Hes going to get himself killed!

I looked up at the vampire's face and he was...smiling? Crap, smiling is not good in this situation.

" Well I never new I would see a Shape Shifter, let alone be touched by one. I thought your kind was extinct." Vamp guy said to Jake.

Shape Shifter!?? What did he mean by that. I looked over at Jake, confused and seen panic in his eyes. He glanced at me then at Vamp guy.

" Oh.... I see. She doesn't know does she?" he asked smiling wider.

Jake let him go taking a step back. Jake looked over at me, then down at the ground.

" Please don't think I'm a monster Sam." he said still looking at the ground.

" Hold on! Let me get this straight. You, Vamp dude, thinks that Jake is a Shape Shifter?" I asked him confused.

" Oh babe, I know hes a Shape Shifter." Vamp guy said.

" Don't call her Babe!" Jake snapped. I blinked confused.

" Jake your a Shape Shifter!??" I asked incredulously.

From what I have read, Shape Shifters are people who can change forms into any animal. Sort of like werewolves, just that shape shifters can be any animal, wolf or not.

Jake looked over at me and gave me a weak smile then shrugged his shoulders.

Well that gave me the answer. So does this mean faeries and goblins are real to? I mean if there is Vampires and Shape Shifters there has to be other freaky things out there that go bump in the night, right?

I nodded my head thinking. Ok so my best friend happens to be a shape shifter and he never told me....

" Why didn't you tell me!?" my voice got a little louder then usual, and I felt hurt.

" Well why didn't YOU tell ME that you knew vampires exists!??" he countered my question with one of his.

"Because I would have been killed! And besides I thought you wouldn't understand." I mumbled the last part.

Jake was about to say something but I cut him off. " Wait!" I turned to Vamp dude. " why did you try kidnapping me!" I yelled at him

He raised an eye brow then said. " I wasn't trying to kidnap you, I just had some information you might want."

" What information?" me and Jake said at the same time.

" You know that guy that tried to have you for dinner a few years back?" he asked.

I looked quickly at Jake, because Jake never found out about that. He looked at me and narrowed his eyes, then he said to the Vamp dude while still staring at me with narrowed eyes. " please continue..."

I gave him one of my famous cheesy smiles.

" Well hes back and since you were the only person that has ever escaped from him, he wants to make sure your dead." he told me bored.

" Wow...." I said.

Just what I need right now, a crazed vamp trying to end my life.

" So....is that it.?" I asked Vamp dude.

The guy looked at me a little surprised then covered it up quickly and smiled.

" Yeah, thats about it." he told me.

I looked over at Jake, who looked like he was deep in thought. He looked up with a frown on his face.

" I'll make sure Sam's safe." he said definitely.

Vamp guy looked Jake up and down and was on the verge of laughing.

" What!" Jake snapped at him.

" I could do a better job protecting her then you could." he said holding back laughter.

I just watched them argue on who could protect me, and I guess they settled that they would see who could protect me the most. Oh this is cool, two hot guys protecting me is ok I guess.

" Then its settled!" they both said shaking hands. Then tightened there hold, I'm guessing, to see who would say 'uncle' first. Men can be so, mushy brained.

" Well if you two are done touching each other I'm going home. And thanks to you" I said looking at Vamp guy " some hobo ran off with my groceries."

I turned around to start walking home when something wet hit my eye. Ag! I looked up and more wet drops hit my face. Oh crap I forgot it was going to rain!

The rain started pouring down and I was about to run when Jake grabbed my arm and we ran towards his car. I jumped in the passenger side and he ran around to the other side jumping in. We closed the doors and sat there silently.

" So your not mad at me are you?" he asked me quietly.

I turned to look at him with a confused expression.

" why would I be mad at you?" I asked him

" Well because of the whole, I'm a shape shifter thing."

" Where you ever going to tell me?" I asked him sadly.

" yes!... maybe ...no.. " he admitted sheepishly at the end. " I didn't want you to think of me as a freak and stop being my friend Sam."

" I thought you knew me better than that, Jake."

" I do! But I didn't want to take any chances." he told me sadly.

I started feeling bad because I wasn't the one keeping the secret from everyone. Not being able to tell the people closest to you. I had only one secret and now it wasn't one at all because Jake knows now. I felt relieved,believe it or not. It felt good to not have to keep anything from Jake. Well maybe except for....

I smiled at Jake and said " Well now we don't have to keep anything from each other, right?"

He smiled back and said " Yeah, your right."

We stared at each other for a moment, then he looked away and I did the same. I was hoping my eyes didn't give away too much. I heard him sigh and start the car and we drove off, towards my house.
