Took Your Time Loving Me

Chapter 15

I'm standing outside English, waiting for Jared to arrive. My Jared. I still get a bit of chill knowing he's mine, that no one else can have him because Jared is my boyfriend. As silly as it is, those simple words still make me pretty happy.

That's when I spot Nathan. He notices me too, and I can tell straight away he's surprised to see me by myself. After all, normally Jared or one of the pack members is with me, and if not that then Sam is, with her happy laugh and wild eyes. That's the only wild thing she has left these days. Before everything changed with Sam, before she started being a mum to her brother, more than a sister. Her eyes are the only thing left that reminds me Sam used to be wild and carefree, instead of always worried about her younger brother Jake and her kind-hearted father.

I wave at Nathan. I kind of feel bad; I've barely spoken to him since Jared became my boyfriend. It feels like we were close in another life. Nathan smile widens and he makes his way over to me, shaking his blonde hair a little which show off his natural highlights that I envy.

"Kim, how you been?" Nathan asks.

"Can't complain, you?"

"Same, same. Except this really great girl, who use to be a pretty good friend of mine, doesn't give me the time of day," Nathan explains, flashing me a perfect smile. If it wasn't for Jared I might have swooned. A part of me wonders if Nathan's being friendly, or if maybe he's flirting with me. No, Nathan wouldn't flirt with me. We're just close friends, or rather, were close friends.

"Oh, I'm sorry Nathan, I've been really busy. A lot's been going on."

"Yeah, I know, trust me. I see you've become one of the La Push Gang," Nathan states like I've disappointed him.

"I'm not really one of the La Push Gang. They're not even a gang, we're just all friends."

"Kimberly, you have to know that something funny is going on there," Nathan says rolling his eyes at me

"Honestly Nathan. Nothing's going on there."

"Yeah, they all just happened to be freakishly tall," Nathan says sarcastically.

"I know it's odd but that's it," I say ignoring his sarcasm.

"Kim, why do you hang out with them, with Jared? You could do so much better," Nathan says, leaning and whispering it. I begin to feel sick. My stomach turns into knots, and I look around for anyone who will save me from this situation. Where is Jared, where is he?

"I don't think I can, and I don't want to," I say quickly.

"Kim yes you do, Kim you and I, we could be something," Nathan says.

"Nathan, I have a boyfriend. You should get to class."

"Class can wait. We can't."

"Nathan there is no we."

"Not yet. Look, all I need to do is kiss you and you'll see what I mean," Nathan explains.

"Nathan I don't want to kiss you."

"Trust me Kim, you do."

I look around and see the hall is empty. I don't want to make a scene, I just want Jared. My English class door is closed, no one can see. I just want this all to go away. I try and shove Nathan away from me.

"Kim, just one kiss," Nathan says softly, ignoring my pushing. He leans in and I give up. He's inches from my face, and I tell myself it'll be over soon. Just picture Jared. I close my eyes and suddenly, his body weight is gone. I open my eyes to see him pinned to wall by Jared, and oh my God is Paul helping him? Yes, yes he is. They're both shaking violently. Why the hell is Paul shaking?

"She doesn't want you to kiss her," Jared hisses.

"Jared, let him go!" I scream.

"Your girlfriend told you to let me go, I guess she didn't want the kiss to stop," Nathan says, smirking proudly.

With a thud, Nathan's dropped to the ground, limp as a rag doll. He just lies there, and I watch in horror and shock. When I see Jared's face it's hurt and vulnerable - he believes him. How could he? Did he not see me pushing him? How could he not know?

"Jared, I didn't want him to kiss me!" I scream as loud as I can. Jared just takes off quicker than humanly possible. Paul punches Nathan hard, probably breaking his nose - I really hope he does - and I chase after Jared ,even though I have no hope of catching up.

"Kim he needs to be alone," I hear Paul call, but it's too late; I need to find him. I turn back to see the halls flooded with people trying to work out what's going on. I hear Sam faintly yelling my name, but I push it all out my mind. I have to find Jared. My Jared.

I run for a while trying to find him. I look in the woods, I run to his home - no ones there - I run to Emily's and Sam's. No one's there besides Emily. I run to the beach. I run everywhere I've ever seen him. I try my house, praying he's waiting for me. He's not. I run into the forest, deeper and deeper. I just keep running. My throat burns and my eyes water, but I can't stop. I just have to find him explain he can't think that I could ever love or kiss anyone else. He just can't.

Jared's P.O.V

I lay down on the lounge at Emily's and Sam's letting the scene run through my head for the hundredth time. The pain is killing me; slowly ripping apart my heart, piece my piece. Her eyes were closed, I couldn't see her fighting him, and then his words in my head taunting me.

How could she? I love her more then anything in the world, and she's breaking me to pieces. It's killing me. No one knows what's wrong - I changed into werewolf in the forest for a while but that was only me, no one else was a wolf. Paul knows, but he wont say a word, I know that for sure. Everyone keeps giving me worried looks, which I ignore. I just need to keep reliving that moment - and all our moments - trying to work out what I did wrong. How could I lose her? I'm meant for her, and I lost her.

I hear the door open loudly but I ignore it. I just close my eyes trying to think of her, and wondering how she could do this to me, and how could I let her. How could I not see?

"Jared!" A voice screams. I open my eyes to see Sam, Kim's best friend. I've never seen someone look so angry in my life. She looks like she's been crying, but I just don't care. All I care about is the fact my heart is broken. I notice the Pack entering the room to see what's up.

"What did you do to her?!" Sam screams.

This gets my attention. I sit up in shock.

"What did I do to who?" I ask.

"Kim! What did you do you bastard?" Sam screams. She's so damn loud, and what is she talking about?

"I didn't do a thing."

"Don't give me that crap! All I know is my best friend is missing because of you! It always comes down to you Jared!" Sam screams.

"Missing?"

"Yes, while you're having a nap, Kim is missing. Her mum's worried sick, and Davie is freaking out. What did you do to her? I swear I will kill you! I don't care how tall you are, I will hurt you Jared!" Sam shouts.

"What do you mean, missing?"

"God you're slow! She's gone! She ran out of school today after you, what the hell did you do to her?!" Sam screams louder now, and she's sobbing. I look at Paul, and see the pain on his face. It's hard to look at.

"She's my best friend, she stayed with me when I couldn't get out of bed, and you chased her away! What did you do? I can't live without her! She's Kim. I need her," Sam says still sobbing.

"My Kim is missing," I slowly.

"Yes."

"I have to find her," I say.

"Run Forrest Run!" I hear Max yell.

And then I just run, trying to find her. No matter how much pain she has caused me, she has to be safe. She's my Kim, I want her to be happy even if it is with Nathan. I just can't work out why she ran away.

I let myself become a wolf, and rush into the forest, hoping to catch a scent. I do after a while, and I follow it for what seems like forever, and that's when I see her. She's lying on the ground, curled up in a ball. Her eyes are swollen from crying, and she's shivering as well; she looks so small. I grab her and pick her up straight away. She feels so nice next to me - so right.

"Jared," She whispers.

"Go back to sleep," I tell her quietly.

Because right now, all that matters is that she'll be okay. My Kim, even if I'm not her her Jared.

Kim's P.O.V

I open my eyes and I realise I am no longer in the forest looking for Jared. I'm in my room. I look around, searching for Jared. I need to explain. I see him, to my shock, sitting on a chair next to my bed, looking straight at me with worry in his eyes.

"Jared," I whisper.

"Shh, it's okay. Go back to sleep, everything's okay. Everyone else is asleep, Sam's down stairs sleeping too," Jared soothes.

"I'm awake and I need you to know, that I didn't want to kiss Nathan."

"Kim, it's okay."

"No, you have to understand. He cornered me, and I fought him for a while and then I just gave up, you know braced my self and pictured you. All I wanted was you - that's all I'll ever want. When you came, I screamed because I didn't want you to lose your temper. Everything was all about you Jared. I don't care about Nathan in that way, and after today not at all," I explain.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Understand this Jared, you're going to have to be the one to tell me to leave, because I will never want anyone else."

"I love you Kim, and I'm so sorry. I should have listened to you, I mean, you were outside in the cold and-"

"Shh Jared it's okay, you're here now. I wasn't running away, I was running to find you. Always you."

"Go back to sleep Kim, and dream about me," Jared says smiling widely.

"Trust me I will," I say with a huge smile on my face, knowing that no matter what. I will always have Jared. and he will always be mine.
