After my fun little fiasco with Max we were laying idly under the tree he was sitting. Cami had gone home with Jared and Kim and Ethan was lying with his head in my lap while I was running my fingers through his hair. "Max you still pissed about it all?" Ethan asked breaking our peaceful silence.

"Not so much" he answered casually.

"Ethan?" I piped up

"Yeah" he replied looking up into my eyes, god I could drown in those deep pools of endless blue.

"Were do you get your blue eyes from?" he shifted his eyes and gave a tiny smile

"My mom"

"Oh, can I ask you another question?"

"You just did" Max chuckled

"HA you are funny!"

"Ok shoot"

"Why doesn't your mom go anywhere your dad does like to Emily's?"

"My mom and dad aren't together, they never were actually"

"Oh what happened?"

"dad told mom they couldn't be together because she was just a one night stand, she found out she was pregnant and then when I was 2 she committed suicide, so I had to live with my gran until I was 6 she told me it was all my fault, then she died and they found my dad and told him he had a kid and 9 years later here we are. I was an accident, an unwanted mistake" he said bitterly

"Eth-"

"Don't" he muttered before getting up and walking away. I sat up straighter and just stared after him as he walked away. Tears pricked my eyes, it was the first time I had ever seen Ethan look anything other than happy or calm and to be honest it hurt me real bad.

"Angel? Are you ok?" I turned to face Max and shook my head

"No, I'm really not" I whispered. So he did what brothers do best he gave me a comforting bear hug, while I let a few little tears escape from my eyes. "What did I do Max?"

"nothing Angel, you did nothing it was Ethan who did something wrong" I looked up at him searching his face for answers, "he made you cry" he said obviously "he just needs to hope he hasn't got patrol with me tonight, that and I think dad's still inside" I slapped my forehead and groaned. Even though my dad isn't a wolf anymore he still has his freakish abilities like his smell, sight, hearing, strength and speed, he just doesn't have his furry assets anymore.

"Did he hear any of it?"

"No but you should stay out here until the smell of your tears washes away"

"How will I do that without any water?" Max gave a whistle and Caiden came bursting through the bushes. I sent Max a look that clearly said what the fuck? But he smirked and whispered so low that I couldn't hear him. "Max what did you say? Tell me Max! " I pleaded he just shook his head and kept on smirking "Max you better tell me or else!" I threatened.

"Now!" he shouted and then I screamed. Caiden had scooped me up onto his back and ran off with me through the woods really fast.

"Caiden put me down!" he didn't listen to me he just kept on running, so I held on tight and admired the blurry green-ness of the forest around me.

He finally stopped and I slid off his back feeling dizzy, as soon as I let go of his fur I almost fell but Caiden nudged me upright with his head and gave a little whine. "I'm fine just a little motion sickness, Max doesn't usually go that fast" he gave a little nod and headed behind some bushes I instinctively turned around and waited for the human to return.

"Sorry bout that" Caiden said, I looked at him and although my face was directed at his my eyes were stuck looking at his abs. He gave a little cough and I blushed at being caught out,

"It's ok" spinning around with my back to Cai I asked "so where are we?"

"As far away from Ethan as we can be, follow me" he brushed past me walking ahead, personally I thought he was going to leave me and keep walking but instead he waited and held the branch up "coming?" he questioned I nodded and ran through.

On the other side of the trees was a clear little spring with a tiny waterfall, around the spring, luscious green grass and wildflowers were growing in random colourful patches. Without thinking I stripped off to my underwear and dived in allowed the rushing water to shed me of my worries and sadness. When I rose up to the surface I looked over to Caiden who was blushing. Giggling, I splashed him "never seen a girl in her underwear before?" I challenged

"Yeah plenty of times!"

"Manwhore!" I yelled

"Not like that!" he tried to defend

"Sure of course not" I laughed

"Unfair you twisted my words" he grumbled

"I did no such thing" I grinned innocently

"Did too"

"Did not"

"Did too"

"Not"

"Did"

"No-ot!" I sang to him, this resulted in Caiden jumping into the water and splashing me "oh my God you fatty you nearly caused a tsunami!" he splashed me again so I turned it into a splash war; Caiden had just splashed me when he disappeared under water. "Cai you better not do what I think you're going to do!" and then just like that I was under the water to being dragged by the ankles. I could feel the bubbles rush upwards in front of my face and knew that Cai had gone back up; I opened my eyes and swam behind Caiden. Slowly I reached out and used his body to spring myself upwards and onto Caiden's back sending him flying forwards under the water again. He rose to the surface and joined me laughing.

We swam to the edge and got out. As we sat down I leant into Caiden to steal his body heat to get dry and warm, I shivered and he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"Thanks by the way" I blurted

"For what?"

"For bringing me here and the distraction"

"You should be thanking Max not me, he asked me to take you attention away from the problem" he smiled down at me

"Yeah but you choose to bring me here, how did you find this place?" I wanted to cut myself off before I finished asking just in case it annoyed him but I couldn't, being here today with Caiden has been as easy as breathing.

"It was when I first phased, Dad told me a lot about the first time but it doesn't help when you phase, it still freaked me out big time, so I ran as fast as I could and eventually I found here. I calmed down after a while and ran home, I felt bad after though my mom was going mad at my dad practically demanding him to phase after 10 years of not phasing at all, I have to admit it was pretty funny watching her yell at him" I giggled at his memory, imagining Emily yelling at Sam.

"It's so peaceful, who else comes here?" I wondered if he ever brought any other girls here and thought I felt a tiny stab of jealousy but that would be stupid wouldn't it? I internally shook my head to rid myself of that thought.

"Nope just me and now you" he confessed

"Does that mean nobody knows where we are?"

"Yup"

"Oh dear I'm afraid we are going to have to go then" I stated beginning to stand

"What? Why?"

"Because I'm afraid your plan to lure me to a hidden location and have your wicked way with me has been foiled by Angel Haine Reese master detective!" I exclaimed in a serious tone, Caiden just chuckled and pulled me back down "what are you doing I'm being serious, help! Help!" I mock screamed.

"Stop screaming or else!" he threatened

"Or else what, huh?" I challenged poking him in his gloriously well defined chest; I am so glad uncle Edward isn't here to read my mind at the moment.

"Or else this" and he did the most predictable thing ever, he went to tickle me, well that was until I got up and started running. I didn't get very far until he tackled me to the grassy ground and sat on top of me tickling me "s-stop!" I ordered him

"Not until you admit I am the best in the whole entire world"

"F-fine you AHA are Th-the best in the w-w-world!"

"Good" he said getting off me

"The best in the world after me!" he was about to re-pin me when Max howled

"I guess it's time to get you home" he held out a hand to help me up and then took me home.

XXx

I got changed into my Pjs which consisted of a cropped top and a pair of shorts, revealing? Very comfortable? Incredibly. I strolled downstairs thinking about today and how much fun I had, I passed dad on the stairs and kissed him on the cheek.

"What was that for?" he asked suspiciously

"I'm in a good mood and you want to question me? Surely you should e asking the questions when I'm in a bad mood?" he shrugged then continued upstairs. I sat in the kitchen eating the cookies my mom made this afternoon, I snatched one more up and headed back upstairs. Max had taken up his usual position leaning on his doorframe.

"In a good mood I see" he commented eyeing up my cookie, I rolled my eyes and gave him my cookie.

"Thank you" I whispered hoping dad didn't hear me. Max just grinned at me and so I carried on walking

"Wait! How the hell did you get a grass stain in the middle of your back?" he growled, I laughed at him and shut my bedroom door.

So Ethan can be a jerk who knew?
