A/N: This chapter was a little weird but i'm still trying to build up to stuff.
Chapter 15: The Crazy Boyfriend
"Are you sure you don't want a lift home?" Matthew said for about the millionth time today.
"Yes, I'll be fine."
"You live a good walk away. Last chance."
"I'm fine Matt. I'll walk. See you tomorrow." I started to head out of the car park, but something caught my eye.
A familiar looking guy was leaning up against an equally familiar jeep.
"Hey!" I called, jogging over.
"Hey B. What took you so long? I've been waiting for you for ages."
"Drama queen." I muttered. He must of heard me 'cause his face split into a huge smile.
"You want a ride home?"
"Sure." I said, jumping into the jeep. Seth threw my bag into the back.
"Why were you planning to walk?"
"How did you know I was going to?"
"Your car is over there." I followed his gaze. From across the car park, I seen Luke staring at us. What the hell is his problem?
"Oh, um, Luke was getting on my nerves." I replied.
"Eh Bron? Earth to Bronte!" Seth said, waving an arm in front of my face.
"Uh what?" I asked, looking at him. He sighed.
"I asked how school was. Your head is seriously in some clouds today."
"Oh sorry. It was fine. Boring and annoying but fine." We finally pulled out of the car park. I waved at Luke as we left. He seemed to get even more pissed.
"Hey Seth?"
"Uh-huh?"
"There's this Halloween party on soon and apparently anyone who's anyone goes and....." I trailed off.
"And?" he prompted gently. I glanced up at him.
"Iwaswonderingifyouwantedtocomewithme?"
He laughed. "You know somehow, I actually understood that."
"Will you?"
"Of course. When is it?"
"Two days before Halloween. The twenty-ninth."
"Oh."
"Oh?"
"I'm busy that night."
"Oh." I said, looking at my hands. He reached over and took one in his. It was huge compared to mine.
"I'm sorry Bron. I can't get out of it. If I could you know I'd definitely go with you."
I smiled. "I know."
"I'll make it up to you. You doing anything for your birthday?"
"I don't know yet. It depends on if my crazy boyfriend decides he wants to surprise me."
"I'll have a chat with him. See what he's up to.""Thanks.""You are going to go to this party anyway without me okay?"
"Okay."
"I mean it B. I insist you go partying."
"You're so weird. Most boyfriends wouldn't want their girlfriends to go out. You know, all those boys….""And all those girls too." He pointed out. I stared at him, than burst out laughing. He laughed too. "I should be very worried, shouldn't I?"
"Of course."
*****
I waved as he drove away. Smiling, I slipped inside the door quietly, locked it and turned around, bumping straight into Rhys. What's with everyone's obsessions to give me a heart attack lately?
"Who was that?" Uh-oh.
"A friend." I answered, shaking out of my coat. The house was so much warmer than it was outside.
"A boy-friend maybe?"
Yes. "Maybe."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Can I please have one straight answer out of you?"
No. "Of course."
Rhys sighed. "I'm only worried about you Bronte. I know it's hard, moving to a new place but your not acting as I thought you would have."
As you thought? What am I? Your lab rat?
I didn't answer. Rule number three: If you can't come up with something sarcastic, don't say anything at all.
"Bronte, I just want you to be happy. You haven't made any friends-"
"Actually I have. If you were around more maybe you'd know that."
He continued as if I hadn't heard anything. "And now you've started a relationship with this man-" Man? MAN? "And it isn't healthy for you."
"And how would you know if something is healthy for me?" I asked through gritted teeth. Note to self: Find Luke's mobile and flush it down the toilet.
"I've seen loads of cases like this-"
"Cases? I'm your sister not one of your fucking cases!"
"Don't speak to me like that!"
"Than don't speak to me like that!"
"Look! I'm not going to argue with you anymore. The bottom line is that I don't want you to see him again."
"Get lost Rhys. Go interrupt in Luke's life or something. His girlfriend's the one who's the problem." I stormed out of the room, heading for my room. I took care to stamp my feet as loud as possible and slam every door on my way.
I am going to murder Luke!
A/N: Thanks for all the reviews and please review again!
jewlzncoolz: i know i think he has a habit of saying it. I guess you'll have to wait to find out.... XD
LadyLovely: Should be soon. And it may be a lot more interesting than the last one....
EmmettLaughedAtMe: That's okay i forgive you lol. Yes it was a girl. :) He hasn't inprinted. He and Leah are the only "original" wolves who haven't. You gave me the weirdest dream after mentioning that. Yes he has. Whether that dream gets shared? I don't know. I can't promise anything. Lately my muse has gone haywire and none of my stories are sticking to the plans. XD Yes, date no. 2 should be soon. And i have plans.....*is laughing evilly* ahem.
Queen Sable: I haven't a clue yet! I guess he'll just have to surprise us all. They won't be crashing this next date, but maybe the one after that!
Sara McCarthy Cullen: Your welcome. Thanks for reviewing!
Isha Cullen: Yes he does and yes she is. It does suck. I have an older brother who constantly reminds me that if he finds out i have a boyfriend he'll break his legs. But you know what? What he doesn't know can't hurt him. lmao
