"It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair and then she asks me, 'Do I look all right?' and I say, 'Yes, you look wonderful tonight.'"

- Eric Clapton
'Wonderful Tonight'


The Mona Lisa its self would go unnoticed if it was placed next to my angel on a night like tonight. I rubbed my hands on my pants, the last thing I wanted to do was touch her with sweaty palms. She looked incredible. Her hand was curled, some of it was pulled up but most of it spilled onto her shoulders and her purple dress fit her perfectly. She blushed under my stares, looking down at her feet quickly. I made my way to her, lifting her chin so I could kiss her.

"You look beautiful" I whispered, knowing all the guys could hear me anyway.

"Thank you" She laughed.

"Okay, okay you two love birds" Jacob laughed clapping his hands. He ran over to us, throwing one of his large arms over each of our shoulders. "Picture time!" Emily had a wide smile on her face just hearing the word pictures, and hit Sam in the chest as she mummbled something that I believe was get the camera. Sure enough he came out of the house moments later, camera in hand and gave it to her.

"Okay you two, get close together" I rolled my eyes, I hate pictures, especially of me. "Paul Woods, you stand next to your girlfriend this instant" Pregnant Emily scared the living daylights out of me so I did as I was told and pulled Layla close me. Maybe this wasn't so bad after all. There were some clicks, and flashes, and after a few minutes of hell it was all over. "Good boy" Emily patted me on the head with a smile.

The room was decorated from top to bottom, it looked nice, fancy, classy, everything a prom should be. There were loads of people there already, all talking at once making it hard to understand what anyone was saying. I watched as a few girls passed me, winking as they made there way to there dates. At one point, that would have been my que to sweep them off there feet and make them mine for the night but now all I could think about was my girl, my Layla. Everyone else seemed to fade away when I was with her, and when I wasn't she was all that filled my thoughts. I wrapped my arms around her, kissing her cheek as she spoke to a few of her friends who came up to talk about, well, whatever it is girls talk about. I just stood there, smiling and nodding, agreeing with whatever she said.

"Wait-what was that last one?" I said, my eyebrows scrunching together. The group of girls, including Layla, that stood in front of me began laughing hysterically.

"Told you he wasn't listening" I rolled my eyes and smiled.

There was a loud clapping in the front of the room.

"Attention! Attention please!" The principal called out to the crowd of students. She was dressed to impress like the rest of us, in her pink skirt and matching top. She was an older woman, in her fiftys with salt and pepper hair. "We'll be opening the doors to the main room in just a moment, I'd like to thank you all for being here today and I'd also like to congradulate you all for coming this far only one more year to go!" Everyone started to clap as the doors swung open revealing an even larger room. They all piled in, the music began playing loudly and everyone was on the dance floor in seconds.

Being a wolf has it's ups and downs. It's ups? Being able to scare off the asshole that was hitting on your girlfriend with a single look. The downs? Ruining your girlfriends prom- that took you months to convince you to let you go to, just two hours into it. I became tense as soon as I read the text Jared just sent me, and I knew she could tell. I just looked at the phone, hoping the message would change - although I knew it wouldn't and she just sat there watching me. I couldn't look at her at first, I felt horrible.

"Layla" I started.

"What's wrong?" She shouted over the music, plugging the ear closest to the music, as if that would help.

"We have to go"

"I have to know? I have to know what?" She looked confused.

"I said," I yelled a little louder. "We have to GO"

"Why?" I left the table, her hand in mine, pushing past all the people that got in our way. I could see the exit from where we were, only a few more feet. I could feel her struggling but I had to keep going. "Paul!" She shouted, causing a few people to look. "Whats wrong?" We made it out of the building, the wind was blowing. I could smell it.

"One of those leeches is around" I could see her freeze. "I'm going to take you to Emily's, you can't let her know why your home, we can't have her going into early labor because of this" She nodded with a worried look on her face. I kissed her forehead and pulled her close. "It's okay, nothings going to hurt you"

And I was going to make sure of that.
