Chapter 6(Timing.)
It'd only been three days since I had experienced the most amazing kiss ever. Since the kiss I had become a freaky stalker. I followed Amy and Collin everywhere, I wanted to see if she reacted the same way to his kisses, I wanted to know if there was any signs of her breaking up with him. So, I kept to the shadows of the miserable Washington weather following every single step they took together when I wasn't running patrol of course, but this night was different. Collin was sitting with Amy under a giant willow tree. He turned to her, his face hard and cold..
"What's up with you and Brady, recently?" He questioned Amy harshly.
"What do you mean?" Amy responded quietly as she played with the grass.
"You know what I mean. The last three days he hasn't returned any of my texts or calls and you…You won't look at me for longer than two seconds." Collins face was filling with anger every passing second.
I wanted to run out there, pick Amy up in my arms, and whisk her away somewhere safe where I would treat her properly.
"I…I don't know." Amy mumbled still not looking at Collin.
"What the fuck, Amy?" Collin stood and paced in front of her, clenching his fists on and off.
Amy looked up at him briefly then looked down at the grass again. Collin noticed this, unfortunately.
"You act like you and Brady did it or something!" Collins voice cracked mid-sentence and I had to use all my will power to hold in the giggle fit.
Amy's gaze suddenly met Collins and he stopped pacing. She stood and placed her hand on his forearm.
"Babe, it's not that. Nothing like that happened. Brady and I are just…friends, like we used to be…I love you, Collin." Amy said softly, smiling at him a little.
I couldn't take the last part of that, turning on my heel I started my long walk home. God, why'd I have to leave my bike at Amy's house? I guess I can pick it up after patrol, tomorrow.
I made it home still enticed in my thoughts, thinking about how to give hints to Amy so she can figure out I'm a fucking wolf! God this was hard, I'd have to do it without telling her ANYTHING about the legends….wait I can't tell her anything…I could show her a bunch of books, like those ones about werewolves-wait that'd mean I'd have to read through all the books to find the ones that were true, not that shit about full moons and eating people. God, love sucks, makin' me read books! I slowly walked to my room and flicked on my laptop, ready for the long night of research.
(The Next Day, Around 4:30am)
I can't wait to give these papers to Amy! Grinning like a fool I continued to run my shift on patrol, excitedly.
"Wow! You actually figured out a way to tell her about the legends, guess I owe Jared $10. Damn you kid." Paul's low laughter drifted through my thoughts.
"I'm not some snot nosed brat, Paul. I've got wits." I turned and flashed a goofy wolf grin at Paul, turning my head back in the direction I was running just in time to see the tree that knocked me back on my furry butt from such contact to my face.
All I could hear was Paul's hysterical laughter, booming through my thoughts. Looking over I saw Pauls' greyish brown wolf form rolling around on the ground barking and howling while his laughter echoed through my head.
"I meant to do that," I grumbled and took off resuming patrol "quit laughing and help me run patrol."
Paul tried to say something but couldn't manage to form his words around the laughter, I simply rolled my eyes and continued my shift for patrol. The only thing keeping me from ripping Paul's head from his neck was the thought of Amy and how easy it will be once she knows the truth.
I could tell it was around seven am now from the position of the sun and my wolf instincts telling me it's time to find an animal for the first meal of the day. Only half an hour longer Brady. You can do it! Just push through it.
"Just go, pup." Paul ordered, the smile evident in his voice.
"I've got like half an hour left though..." I stated, slightly confused.
"Just go damn you! You're thinking so loud I wouldn't be able to hear a leach coming if it was playing baseball or some shit!" Paul stated, trying to sound as menacing as possible.
I smiled and jogged over to Paul "Thanks, Paul." Staying in wolf form for a second I quickly licked Paul's furry cheek.
"EWWWWW! Pup coot-" I didn't hear the rest as I phased to human but I had I feeling he was going to say "cooties".
No matter how tough Paul acts I'm never going to see him the same after the fact that he didn't punch my face in for licking his cheek. I don't know why people are so scared of him…I pulled on my shorts and started sprinting to Amy's house. I guess Rachel and I are the only ones who have ever seen nice Paul. I pulled the watch from the strap around my ankle and looked at it. 7:14am, I wonder if Amy's even awake. Maybe I should wait until I know she's going to be awake. I tried to stop running but my feet just kept going.
After a few minutes of running I skipped the steps up to the porch at Amy's and impatiently waited for the door to be answered after I clicked the doorbell a few hundred times. I stood at the door for what felt like hours. Maybe I should have showered before coming over…I'm all muddy and nasty. Finally a sleepy looking Amy open the door with a sour "WHAT?". She suddenly realized it was me, her hands shooting up to her hair at light speed trying to flatten her bed head, her eyes growing twice in size.
"No, don't fix it," frowning I moved her hands from her hair "it looks cute like this."
She blushed a deep red and giggled quietly. God, she's adorable. I should be with her, not Collin. He doesn't deserve to run his fingers through her hair. Mindlessly I started to run my hand through her hair. He shouldn't be able to feel her hand in his, palm to palm. My hand gently took hers, my thumb tracing circles on the back of her hand. He doesn't even deserve to ever dream of her, to steal her sweet kisses, to feel her tender lips on his. My hand slowly caressed her cheek. Amy slowly closed her eyes and stood there, not making an effort to back away from me but also not making an effort to kiss me. Should I kiss her? Does she want to be kissed? How should I kiss her? I leaned in ever so slightly leaving her a lot of time to pull away and slap me, yelling "I have a boyfriend, you jerk!" She did nothing. My lips were inches from hers and then it happened. Collin walked up behind me, looked at Amy like his heart had just been ripped out then to me, like he was going to kill me right on the spot.
"Oh crap Collin!" I yelped as I jumped back from Amy at a wolf speed.
Amy's eyes shot open when she heard Collin's name. She just stood there staring at Collin in utter shock, she looked like she had just seen a ghost.
"WHAT THE FUCK! I KNEW YOU GUYS WERE MESSING AROUND! DID HE STAY THE NIGHT OR SOMETHING AMY? BET YOU MADE HIM BREAKFAST FOR SUCH A GREAT NIGHT!" Collin yelled causing a vein to bulge from his neck.
Amy looked like she was about to cry. I couldn't stand to see her cry so I stepped between the two of them and looked Collin in the eye.
"I'm sorry man….This is all my fault I came by and I still have this huge crush on Amy so I told her to close her eyes. I thought I could steal a kiss." I continued to look Collin in the eye and I could see his anger building even more.
"YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" Collin went to punch me but before he could I grabbed his wrist with my wolf instincts and strength.
"LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARD!" Collin went to punch me with his other arm, I grabbed his other wrist and he squirmed around trying to desperately get free while trying to kick me. Collin was no match for my wolf instincts and I just kept moving milliseconds before he could land a kick. I knew I had to go right now before he noticed I was too strong. With one swift sweep of my leg I knocked him down and sprinted for my dirt bike. I could hear his footsteps getting up and then chasing me. With a push I started up my dirt bike and took off down the road as fast as I could on the bike.
I'll have to chill at Sam's for a few days. He won't come looking for me there.
