TRYING TO KEEP CHAPTERS TO A 3,000 BUT IM ENJOYING WRITING THIS SO ITS TAKEN ME SEVERAL CHAPTERS.
I'd gotten my neck cleaned up and had a bandage put over it by the first aid tent when Leah decided it was time for her to go home. I asked Sam to do it. He didn't look very happy but he nodded his head, wrapping his arm around her as she stumbled.
I stayed back at the bonfire, Paul and Jared were on guard duty again but they weren't doing it very well. I had alcohol and xanax running through my system and I was saying hi to everyone. I'd run off every time they turned around and this time I found Jacob.
"Jacob!" I said in a giggle and ran up to hug him. He turned around and took in my appearance, opening his arms in a surprised hug as he caught me.
"Hey, Kai." He said unsure, looking down at me as I smiled up at him. I waved to Embry and Quil as they grinned at me.
"You know you can just call me Jake, right?" He remarked looking between me and his friends and I shrugged. Whatever.
"Hey, you want a drink?" Quil asked me and I looked around for someone to see us all drinking. There was no one. They were all around the fire, I'd run out closer to the water, where Jake and his buddies were at. I thought about it for a second but nodded anyways.
"KAI?" I could hear Paul and Jared yelling for me so I shrunk down, Jake and crew watching me as Quil slowly handed me a beer.
"Should we try to hide you?" Quil asked me as I took a swig of the beer and I grinned and nodded. They shifted in front of me, how fun. I wouldn't be found now!
"Have you guys seen a short girl in a blue dress come around here? She'd be high as hell." Paul asked sounding breathless. A chorus of 'nahs' happened and I could hear Jared run up next to him.
"Any luck?" He asked Paul sounding just as breathless. I guessed he shook his head at Jared because there was no sounds.
"Why are you guys looking for her even?" Jake asked, sounding and looking standoffish. This group did not like Sam's pack. AT ALL.
"None of your business, Black." Paul bite out and I heard Jared laugh awkwardly.
"Well let us know if you see her! We'll be going now." Jared called out as they got farther away. A few minutes passed before Jake turned back around and motioned for me to stand back up.
"Why were they looking for you?" Jake asked, I stood up too fast and stumbled. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and I giggled.
"Their boss man, Sam, told them to guard me but.." I swallowed and leaned closely to Jakes face, trying to keep the grin off my face.
"I RUN FASTER THAN THEM!" I yelled excitedly and clapped my hands together. Embry and Quil snorted as Jake stared at me for a second before bursting into laughter.
"You need to hang with us more often. Leave Uley and his group behind." Jake said and pulled me a little closer, the other two rolled their eyes at us.
"Why don't you guys like Sammy?" I asked curiously looking at them. Embry and Quil looked back at Jake so I did too.
"He thinks he's better than us and people disappear to join his little cult. Like Jared and I used to be great friends, then POOF, he disappears for a few days and suddenly he can't hang with us anymore. Sticks to Uley's side like glue." He said poof really loudly and I jumped. Embry snorted at me and I flipped him off and huffed.
I nodded to Jake and realised that these guys didn't know what the disappearing meant for Paul and Jared and Sam. It wasn't something they wanted, it was just what happened.
I hung around Jake and his friends for a while, drinking with them. I realized after the first beer that I should probably stop so I did, the world was only spinning a little. I turned around and was about to go find Sam when Jake snagged my arm and I looked back. They were all shitfaced, grinning lazily at me as I did the same.
"Where ya goin?" He asked and I giggled at his voice.
"I need to find my cuddle buddy." I responded and decided to try to continue to march. My feet had gotten significantly better since the Sam scare.
"Nooooo, come stay with us some more. I can be your cuddle buddy for tonight." He replied suggestively and I looked back at him, staring for a second as that just processed. I snorted and shook my head no.
"SAMMY, CO-" I started to yell for him to come get me, well if I couldn't get to Sam, I'd just bring him to me. I was stopped as Jake clapped a hand over my mouth, shushing me. I giggled as I licked his hand and he let go to wipe it off on his jeans. I turned back around to call for Sam again after I finished my giggle fit to come face to face with a chest that had a black hoodie over it.
"Thats so weird." I muttered as I stared confused at the black wall. I poked it and it reached for my hand, stilling it. I looked up slowly and met eyes with Sam.
"Cuddle buddy!" I giggled and hugged him. He was still warm and soft and smelled yummy.
"Sam if you were a food, you'd be a chocolate bar." I mumbled into his chest, he kneeled and before I knew it my legs were up in the air again. I looked back up to see Jake pouting as we walked off. I smiled and waved at him and he waved back.
"How the hell did she run away from you two, twice?" Sam sounded frustrated and I glanced over to see Paul and Jared sigh.
"We don't know. She's a sneaky little shit, you turn around and poof! Shes gone. You try to keep up with her." Paul retorted. I waved at Jared who cracked a smile and waved back.
"I don't need to 'keep up with her', I never let her get away." He responded sounding a little pissed off. I thought about how to calm him down and decided petting him was the best idea. So I did.
"Is she...stroking your face?" Jared asked incredulously and Sam sighed and nodded as I giggled again. This was fun.
"I'm taking her home." He replied, sounding determined. Aw my fun was over.
"Have fun tonight!" Paul called out and winked at us, I giggled again and Sam just growled as he walked away.
"Sam?" I whispered into the dark. I heard him sigh and turn to look at me. We ran again and when we got back he just dumped me on the bed and stripped me down. Then he stripped and slid into bed to, pulling the covers over us and saying nothing.
"What?" He sounded grumpy and I flipped around to face him.
"Why are you sooo grumpy?" I asked and tried to peck him but I got his nose instead. Eh close enough.
"Because one you took that pill, two you ran off from them when I told you to stay there, three you ran off and got yourself into a fight, four you made me take the girl that you got into a fight with home, five you ran off from them again, six you were drinking with 3 frickin guys who you then let put their hands all over you." He was ranting and he wasn't happy. I swallowed hard as I processed that.
"Well I did deserve it from Leah, and I made you take her home because she was drunk as hell, Sam." I replied lowly, annoyed now, and felt him sit up.
"Are you fucking kidding me, Kai? Are you seriously trying to rationalize this right now?" He demanded and I didn't reply and turned over, away from him which seemed to piss him off even more. He shifted me over and was straddling me now.
"You asked, I gave you an answer. Now answer me. How are you going to rationalize the drinking, Kai? The horny guys?" He was realllly mad. He wasn't shaking though, which was a relief for me. He seemed to have worked on his self-control a little bit.
"It was only Jake, Sam." I muttered and I could practically feel him glaring at me when he growled at it.
"That is suchbullshit." He barked and I glared back at him in the dark. I wasn't in the mood to deal with his shit.
"Get off." I grumbled and pushed at him.
"No. I want an answer, Kai. I deserve one." He sneered and I seriously thought about hitting him for a second, the only reason I didn't was because I knew it'd break my hand.
"I DON'T KNOW, SAM. OKAY? I ju-just don't know." I started to shake as I screamed at him and put my hands over my face before I started to cry. Some how I thought that my hands being over my face meant that he couldn't hear me either.
"Do you not get that I was scared?" His voice dropped and it snapped me out of the near crying state. He slid back and pulled me towards him, I wrapped my own arms around him.
"Why would you be scared?" I asked quietly into his shoulder as he squeezed me gently.
"Because you were high as fuck and stumbling around, Kai. Leah, Black and his friends all over you, those were all my worst fears for today, literally right in front of me. And you got into them all in the same goddamn night." He mumbled into my hair as he took in deep breaths. I tried to shrug and realized that I couldn't, his arms were wrapped around me completely. I was locked into position. I heard him sigh into my hair and I was now on care and concern mode.
"Well its all over now. I'm back, I'm okay." I tried to sooth him and he pulled back, the little speck of light from my window caught his face. He was frowning at me, he looked tired and worn down and I pulled him gently to me. He obliged and I kissed him softly on the lips, I felt his arms come back around me and pull me to him.
"You okay now?" I asked him after I pulled back and felt him nod on my shoulder. I was going to lay us back down but Sam apparently moved faster than me, already laying down and pulling me towards him. I was the little spoon again. I started to pet the hand and arm that was wrapped around me and almost giggled as I felt him begin to almost purr and nestle his head into the back of mine.
When I woke up the next morning I could hear people down stairs, Sam was gone though his spot was still warm so I figured it hadn't been that long ago. I went to the bathroom and tried to fix hair and looked at myself in the mirror. I was alright...ish. I didn't have too bad of the puffy eyes just...kinda. I glowered at myself in the mirror and decided some concealer was in order for under my eyes.
I got through the routine, pulling my hair up into a ponytail and adjusted my clothes to where they were covering all the essentials. I looked back in the mirror and nodded to myself, it was decent.
