I stormed out of his house in his top yes I knew I had it on but I had just stupidly said I'm done so this is all I have left. Tears flooded my face the second time in the space of two days he had made me cry. God this sucks ass. I walked to the beach and sat crying the waves wrapped around my ankles, the rain poured over me but it hide my tears one good thing from today. I sound like one of them pansy bitches, but hey everyone has got to have one of them moments. I was shivering from sadness and from being cold I couldn't have waited until I had got dressed could I? After an hour or so I heard footsteps then felt something sit next to me. It was Paul.
"Look Ari I know I keep messing up but I don't know what to do. I've dumped Kelly and am sorry for everything I have done, whatever it is I have done."
"That's it Paul you don't know what you have done."
"Tell me then"
"If you don't already know then you can't be sorry." I got up to leave when he pulled me back.
"Wait Ari please give me another chance. I'll do anything I lo-"
"Don't Paul you've had enough chances. Sorry."
"I walked off tears falling more and more than they were before. Was he really going to say the l world? I can't deal with this. The pathetic thing is I would take him back in a heartbeat. But the worst thing is he didn't run after me. I was hoping that just like in the movies with the rain and the beach that he would run after me pick me up tell me he loved me and then kiss me. But sadly I don't live in a movie, Kim does. I live in this shit hole called reality. I kept praying he would chase after me but I couldn't hear any footsteps all I could hear was a wolf howling in sadness. You and me both mate. When I reached the house I could rustling in the woods next to it, great just what I wanted a mad man. I could hear panting guess the mad man was slightly overweight. But then a head poked its head out of the woods. But attached to the head was a wolf. A bloody big one at that. He was dark sliver and the most beautiful thing I had seen well second to Paul when he is calm and asleep. The funny thing is that he had the same eyes as Paul. I always knew Paul was a mutt. I wasn't scared my nan had always said that the wolves were our protectors and if we ever saw one then they were our very own protector making itself known to us that we are here to protect us. Guess that would mean that I have my protector good I could use one.
"Hey I won't hurt you. Aren't you gorgeous? My name is Ariella. What's your name? Of course you can't say how about umm Eric? You know some people call me Ariel so you can be Eric." The wolf's eyes sadden for a bit and then happiness shone through.
"You know it's quite nice talking to you. I'm sorry I look a state. But heartache doesn't do any wonders for the face. Next time I will doll up." The wolf howled in sadness and then burrowed its way until his head was resting in my lap.
"That's funny. I know your howl I hear it a lot. Are you sad as well? That's ok we can be sad together. The thing is I really lo- like this boy and well he doesn't like me in that way well I didn't think he did until today but then I said something really stupid and I didn't mean it and then I walked off and he d-d-didn't r-r-r-un af-af-after me. I mean of course he shouldn't but I mean in the films they do." I sniffled and sobbed the wolf's eyes I swear held the same pain as me. He then licked my cheek and nuzzled me.
"It's ok though as I'll take him back as soon as he asks. Not that I am a pushover but you can't let the people you love slip through your fingers. Even if you are the one pushing them." The wolf then looked hopeful. I ran my hands through his fur and then kissed his head.
"I better be off Eric I'll end up with a cold. Be careful won't you. And no more howling it hurts me hearing it. I love you." I kissed him again and then walked into the house. A small smile was placed on my lips even though I was upset I knew it would work out ok.
The next day I rose to school determined not to show how I feel to Paul. I'm sure he will be the usual arrogant Paul. Nothing fazes him. I was seriously wrong though he looked just like I did if I didn't have makeover covering my face. He had huge bags under his eyes and he looked sad, his head was hung low and Jared was looking at him with pity and then would look at me with the same stare. Kim was doing the same as well. Oh great the power couple are a bunch of bloody staring idiots. The whole day went like that even detention we didn't talk or look at each other. I could feel him next to me; the weird thing was I could feel his pain add that with mine and it wasn't a fun day. As soon as I got home I went to the beach I didn't care it was raining or windy or cold it was the last place I sat with him talking even if it wasn't a nice talk but still. I was sat for only a little while when footsteps came I knew it was Paul as relief flooded me that he was near.
"I thought I said you've had all your chances Lahote."
"We're back to surnames is it? Look Ari you know how I feel. But how do I know what you feel? You say I've had my chances but it's me sharing my emotions I'm the one saying how I feel because damn it Ari I love you."
"What! My feelings. I bloody love you Paul Jack Lahote I've loved you for years. But all you ever wanted was sex I thought it was better to have that small part of you rather than nothing. I had to sit back and watch you with all these other girls. My heart would break every time you did it. And you know what I don't think my heart can take anymore. I know I'm just the enemy with benefit but I want to be the girl you hold hands with hug and kiss in public and call yours. Do you want to know the thing that has hurt more than every other thing you have done? That yesterday you didn't run after me." I cried endless tears.
"Did you not hear me? I love you. I love you. How many times do I have to say it? I've been kicking myself for not realising it before and for hurting you. The thing is you have always been my girl, my everything and my first for every single thing. My first girlfriend, my first kiss, my first person I slept with and my first love. I want you to be my last everything my last girlfriend, my last kiss, my last lover and my last love. There is not one single person in the world who doesn't mean as much as you do to me. I love you." Paul started crying as well, he wasn't finished though "if you were to ever walk away again the first thing I would do would be run after you. My heart goes where ever you go." I walked off then. Not saying anything. I heard heavy footsteps following after me, I was spun around into big arms and then kissed. He ran after me. I had my cliché moment, the beach, the rain, the chase and the kiss.
"I told you I would chase you."
"I love you Paul Jack Lahote."
"I love you Ariella Nayelli Harlow"
We walked back hand in hand to my house. When we entered Paul let go off my hand and walked upstairs.
"Wait Paul I don't want to."
"What? No babe I was getting you a towel your soaking."
"Oh ok, thanks." I turned the kettle on and felt warm hands wrap round me. This is heaven. He kissed my neck and we sat on the porch with a blanket snuggled in the rain.
"Ariel, you know I love you and how sorry I am. Well I was thinking did you want to my girlfriend?"
"No..." I didn't get to answer as he started shaking and then leapt off the porch and started shaking more and more until his skin just like ripped and dark silver fur sprouted out, in front of me he turned into my Eric. What. The. Hell.
