Chapter 4
"Alison? Are you ok?" Matt whispered. " No, I'm not. There's something I need to tell you." I said with as much voice as I could put in the words. '' What is it?" He asked crossing the floor to sit beside me. I looked at him with a firm look on my face to show him I wasn't kidding." You know that thing we do... With our minds I mean. Well you could do that stuff because you are shadow kissed." I knew he would believe me, but it didn't seem like he understood my reply." Shadow kissed? What does that mean?" He asked in confusion." Shadow kissed. It means when you die. A supernatural... creature can bring you back to life. I'm the supernatural creature, and you're the one I healed. I am a," I was trying to say it but it couldn't come out of my mouth. Matt wiped something off of my face and I notice I was crying. " Tell me," He said looking as sad as I was.
"I'm a werewolf," I said wiping the rest of my tears away while looking at Matt for a reply. " What? A werewolf? Like a real werewolf? Full moon and everything?", He said looking interested. " Yeah.", I said in a small voice. looking up to see what he was thinking. " Why didn't you tell me?" I laughed a nervous laugh. " Think about it Matt, I'm a werewolf. I thought you would be afraid of me and run around in your underwear screaming trying to find a way out of this place, while I hunt you down and eat you." I said making a little joke out of it. He laughed, but then was serious. " When did I die? How did I die?" He asked. " Well remember when you got really bad cancer? Well, you died. Before anyone could notice it... I healed you. That's when you started to wake up. That first time you felt what I felt... You thought you were going crazy." This was hard for me to explain. I only explained this to him and him only. I've never told anyone this before... Not even my parents. Matt slid closer to me and gave me a comforting hug. " It's alright, you don't have to explain anymore. It's okay." He whispered. I just told him I healed him from cancer and that I was a werewolf... and he's comforting me? Wow we really are best friends. He held me that way for a long time. Finally I had the guts to put my arms around his waste. I read his mind for a while. She's holding me. She's really holding me. But then again, I feel kinda bad for her. She has to live her life as something she doesn't want to be. I wonder if there's anything I can do to help her... But what can I do? I'm just a useless human, who can only know what she's feeling. Just then I got irritated." No your not! Don't you ever say or think that again. You are something. You don't have to worry about having to eat human beings or other animals every full moon! Trust me, you can call yourself anything you want but you are not noth-" Suddenly he leaned in and kissed me. OH MY GOD HE KISSED ME! I can't believe it! His lips were soft and moist against my lips. He kept kissing me. I put my hand on his cheek. We kissed for almost a minute. Then he finally pulled his lips away from me. We both laughed nervously. " I know I may be human and all. But I know how to get you to speak your mind. You don't do that often." I smiled sheepishly. " So you already knew I loved you?"
"Yeah, You probably ease dropped a couple of times when I forgot you could hear me," He said quietly. He then looked up at me with worry in his eyes. "WAIT! What about your boyfriend Calvin?!" He asked incredibly. I looked confused for a second. Who the hell is Calvin? I don't know a Calvin? I thought for a minute... OH! Kevin, my fake boyfriend. I laughed out loud but didn't say anything. "What's so funny?" He asked smiling a bit. Another thing about us. If one of us laugh or feel happy or something, the other is bound to smile. " Well, Kevin isn't really my boyfriend. I only asked him to be my fake boyfriend because I couldn't have who I really wanted." I answered, blushing my brains out. He beamed at me, teeth and everything. I love that smile. " And who might that be?" He asked getting a little cocky. I smirk and lean closer to him. " Terry." I say, trying to hold my laughter. I read his thoughts as I see his smile fall, being replaced by a look of confusion and hurt. 'Terry? She's wanted him the whole time? Damn! She was probably just being nice to me because I kissed her.' I realized that he thought I was serious. " Oh, Matt. I was just playing. You know that right? I love you. No one else. I saw you with a girlfriend and I couldn't stand seeing you with her. So, I just had to get a fake boyfriend to keep my mind off of it. " I said sheepishly, yet quickly. I swear, My face looked like I was going to blow up. He laughed shyly. " I guess I got a little gullible right there." He said looking down. I took his chin and tilted his head up, so he was facing me. " Yeah, but it's cute." I whispered, leaning in for a kiss. He kissed back. I suddenly remembered his girlfriend. I pulled back quickly. " And what about your girlfriend Mr. Campbell? I don't want you cheating on her or anything." "Oh, don't worry about her Ms. . I dumped her two weeks ago after she cheated on me. Again."
Sadie Greenlind had a record of cheating on Matt. Four times! This is her fifth and her last I guess. Haha. I never liked her, and she never liked me. Matt made us promise that we wouldn't fight because he cared about us both. When he wasn't around, she would bump into me 'accidentally' and say ' Omg Al, like I totally didn't like see you there. I'll make sure not to like do it again. Toodles Alan' Although she would do it again. And again. And AGAIN. One day at lunch I just had enough. I bumped into her while she was carrying her food. I bumped into her and her food spilled all over her shirt. I said ' OMG! I'm like so sorry Miss Gremlin! I'll like totally make it up to you! Well toodles Sade. My friends and her friends laughed. Her best friend Veronica laughed a little, trying not to show how funny it really was. But when Matt came back to school the next day and heard about our little encounters... You would've felt lucky to be someone else right now. He didn't talk to either one of us for a week. I felt terrible and begged for his forgiveness. I even bought him all types of gifts. He finally started talking to me again. I was glad that he talked to me first. A day later, he and Sadie were making out again. Then that's where Kevin came in. He wanted to be an actor one day, so I asked him if he could pretend to be my boyfriend. He happily agreed to it. We 'dated' for about four months. He had a girlfriend, Elizabeth Morrison. She's a nice girl. She knew about it, and said that it was ok. Me and Kevin tried to keep the kissing to a minimum. My friend, Tabetha also knew about it all. She's the one I go to when I need to talk about Matt.
" I'm kinda tired now." I said yawning laying on the bed. He stood up walking to the door. " Ok I'll leave, see you in the morning." I sat up quickly, getting a head rush. "NO! Umm, stay please." He smiled with amusement at how quickly I tried to stop him. " Ok I'll stay with you." He climbed on the bed, lied down next to me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my hair. " Goodnight babe," he whispered lightly. I blushed. He just called me ' babe '! "Night."
