Thanks for the reviews everyone. Here you go. Here is chapter 11. I know it's been a very long time since I've updated the story. Sorry for the long and remember the more reviews you guys leave the more encouraged I am to finish the story.
I gotta be cool, relax, get hip!
Get on my tracks
Take a back seat
Hitch hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love
- Queen
Stella's POV
"Did I ruin your night yesterday?" I heard Jay ask Seth.
"No comment," Seth replied. I served them both a bowl of cereal and muffins to go with it. I sat on the stool in between them.
"Oh c'mon don't lie to me," Jay said. "You know you want her." He started making kissy noises.
"Jay stop it," I said. "Or you're going to walk to school."
"You wouldn't do that to me," he tested me.
"You think I won't?"
"Yeah," he said.
"Fine then, watch me," I challenged him. I got up from my seat gave Seth a kiss and patted Jay's head. "See you guys later." I headed out the door with the keys in my hand and soon I was in the car on my way to school.
Jay's POV
I walked out to see if she had left me and when I did the car was gone. "Fuck my life," I said in my head. I stomped back inside to get my book bag.
"What happened?" Seth asked.
"She actually left me. Great now I have to walk all the way to school," I protested.
"C'mon my car is in the back I'll drive you," he offered.
"Thanks man," I said and we both walked out and got in his car.
We didn't talk at first but he decided to break the ice by saying, "So how do you like it around here so far?"
"It's okay. It's no London or anything but at least the girls around here appreciates my accent," he chuckled at my joke.
"I know, if only it didn't rain so much," he said.
"Then there wouldn't be any vampires, werewolves or hybrids for that matter," I said.
"True. Can I ask you something?"
"You already did," I said.
"Ha-ha," he said sarcastically. "I'm serious. How do you feel about all of this, about the supernatural?"
"It's hard I guess." I said and took a moment to compose a good enough answer. "The thing is it's hard for me because I can't do anything about it. I'm supposed to be the big brother taking care of her not the other way around. I always wish I had a way to protect her. She's only 7 years old though it doesn't seem like it. I'm really glad she has someone else to spend time with. I think it's been great for her to stay here close to people who can relate to us."
"I guess I never saw it that way," Seth said. I thought he wanted me to say something funny but he didn't get it. "How did she break it to you? That she was a hybrid?"
"I actually found out by myself.
"I actually found out by myself a day after my dad's death. I saw her drinking blood from the hospital. She composed herself and then she told me about her being half vampire, half human. At first I was thought I had gone completely nuts but somehow I got used to it. That was the only time I've seen her drink blood." I could tell by Seth's expression he was grossed out and maybe had forgotten she does like blood.
"She explained to me I caught her in a moment of weakness. At that time I was very sad and I wanted my parents back but I got her. I am grateful that she took me when I had nobody else, when she didn't have anybody else to take care of us both."
"Must've been hard," Seth said.
"Tell me about it. I was devastated when I lost my dad and suddenly I was pushed into the supernatural and had to act like it was all good," I said remembering when we used to live back in England.
"I've been there before, not a happy place," Seth said. I was surprised I often forget he also has a life with a past.
"You lost your dad too?" I asked intruding his personal life. I guess it didn't matter if I already did it last night.
"Yup, I was around your age; 15. The anger and grief caused my transformation. They say powerful emotions can cause your shift early," he said. Here I was thinking this was another guy who just wanted to hook up with my sister, but to find out he has a life. For some reason when you learn somebody's story it changes your view of that person completely erasing all their wrongs with it.
"How about you, doesn't it freak you out your girlfriend is half of your enemy and way younger than you are?" I asked.
"At first when we first met I had no idea and I don't know why, but I don't care. You're forgetting my pack leader is also in love with a hybrid, so I see how it works. About the age thing, I've seen worse. One of the wolves imprinted on a toddler when he first shifted," he said.
"A toddler?" I asked grossed out.
"It's not like that," he snickered, "The thing about imprinting is you will be anything that person needs. So Quil is acting and thinks of Claire as a baby sister or a daughter nothing sexual."
"That's bloody weird," I commented.
"It is at first, then it becomes normal," he told me.
"So, how do you feel about Stell?" I asked.
"I love her, I don't know she just makes me feel whole. She's the sun lighting my day. I can't believe she just walked into my life and now we're together. I can honestly say she's the best thing that has ever happened to me," he said and I felt a difference in his voice. It was warmer, softer, gentler, whenever he talked about her. "I'm guessing this is weird hearing a guy talk about your sister that way?"
"No, it makes me think you really are the real deal. You're the first guy she actually likes," I said as we got closer to the high school. A few moments later we were inside in the parking lot. As I opened the door I thanked him and hopped off the truck. When I look back I see Stella on Seth's side of the window.
Stella POV
"You are such a gentleman," I said giggling. He opened the door and got off the car. We kissed quickly.
"Thank you my dear lady," he said. He cradled me against his truck.
"Somebody is going to see us," I said teasing him.
He looked at his watch quickly and said, "Class doesn't star for another half hour and you, missy can walk very quick."
"What sleeping together wasn't enough?" I asked jokingly. I liked the way I was between him and his truck, I wanted him closer.
"You know it," he laughed and we kissed again.
"Thanks for bringing Jay to school," I expressed my appreciation for that and everything else. "Thanks for everything."
"It's cool, anything to make up for last night," he chuckled and he kissed me again. We moved to the back of the truck where nobody could see us. We kissed some more until my lips felt raw and became glued to his. Our hands became friendly again like last night. I let it go on for a couple of more moments until he said, "Okay I don't want to do this here, like this."
"You read my mind wolf boy," I smiled and kissed him quickly. We let go of each other, "It's getting late." He looked at his watch.
"Yeah, I don't want you to be late because of me," he said.
"Thanks honey," I said. "I'll see you later."
"Sounds good," he said.
I walked closer to his ear and I said, "I love you." And immediately walked away, I was afraid of what he would say. I had never said I loved someone to anybody before who wasn't family. In a couple of months my world was upside down and I was feeling my way through it all. Everything was entirely new.
