Chapter 2

"Some of the greater things in life are unseen that's why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream..." Anonymous

I wake up staring blankly at my ceiling. I roll over and look at my alarm clock. 7:43 AM, I sigh, getting out of bed, knowing once I'm up I can never go back to sleep. I decide to go for a run, to clear my mind.

All last night I had dreams of Jared holding my hand, and lowering me onto the forest floor in a beautiful clearing. Just as he leans down to kiss me, he disappears and a wolf is above me where he once was. I try to run away but the wolf keeps following me, howling like crazy, until I throw myself off a cliff on first beach. As I hit the frigid water, I wake up.

I shake the nightmare off as I get ready, deciding I really do need the fresh air. I open my bedroom window and feel the crisp air hit my skin.

I pull my cell phone off my desk and send a quick text message to Damien. "Good morning, I'm going for a run… I know you have your big game today, but I was wondering if you want to come with me?"

I get ready while I wait for his response. Just as I put my hair up into a ponytail, my cell goes off.

"Of course I want to go with you, you're my good luck charm. I'll be over in 5." he responds.

I climb down the stairs and head into the empty kitchen. It's Saturday morning, everyone else in my house can sleep until noon.

I grab a water bottle, and scribble a quick note to my family in case one of them gets up before I'm back.

While I'm putting the pen away, there's a soft knock on the front door.

I open the door, to see Damien is standing there, smiling, looking very cute, in a pair of Nike basketball shorts and a white t-shirt.

He pulls me into a hug, holding me as close to his body as I can get.

"Good morning, are you ready to go?" he asks.

I nod, shutting the door quietly behind me, slipping the key into my sweatshirt pocket.

We walk a few feet down the block before heading towards a trail that twists through the forest.

"Are you sure you want to go in there?" I ask, "You know there have been a few bear sightings," I say hesitantly.

"Relax, nothing's gunna come after you," he says with a cheeky smile.

He walks ahead of me, still facing me and pulls me in after him, "Come on, chicken," he teases.

I finally give in and begin to jog, "So, are you ready for the game today?" I ask.

"Yeah, as long as my good luck charm is there," he says, playfully shoving me, "Are you ready for the bonfire tonight?" he asks.

"Yeah, I still have to ask my dad, and I don't know what I'm wearing though," I answer.

"I don't know what you're waiting for to ask, but it doesn't matter what you wear, you always look hot," he says with a smile, bursting into a clearing with me.

It wasn't nearly as beautiful as the one in my dream, but it'll do for a place to rest.

The clearing's small, kind of round, with one rock directly in the center, and unlike the one in my dream with the beautiful flowers, this one's very green.

Damien stops running and walks over to the rock, sitting down next to it, patting the spot next to him. I sit down and bring my knees up to my chest.

"So, do you think we can maybe do something more then making out tonight?"

"I told you I kind of want to wait," I say looking him in his hungry eyes.

"Please, Baby…" he whispers huskily.

Damien looks over at me and tucks a strand of his hair behind his ear. He grabs the curve of my hip in one hand, and the back of my head with his other, before quickly attaching his lips to mine.

I close my eyes and let him take the lead. The hand that was behind my head quickly slid down the side of my body until his thumb was resting just below the curve of my breast. His other hand reached down my backside, along the back of my thigh, and he guides it to lay on his hip, wrapping almost all the way around him.

Seconds later, I'm free of my shirt, and I can feel him getting more and more excited. I think maybe we can go all the way, right here in the center of this clearing.

When I open my eyes to help him get rid of his shirt, he looks down at me and all I see is Jared's face.

It freaks me out so much I gasp, and scrape my back on the rock behind us.

I wince, and suck my teeth as I felt the scrape sting.

"Kim, what the hell was that about?" he asks, sitting up next to me.

"I thought I saw a spider," I lie, scratching the space behind my ear, looking away from him.

"Let me see your back," he says, and I comply, turning around, and picking my sweat shirt up off the forest floor.

He brushes his finger along scratches and I wince.

"Was the spider really worth all this?" he asks.

I shrug my shoulders and put my shirt back on, feeling it burn the whole way down.

"It was disgusting," I say with a pout.

"I think we should get you home to clean that up, and hopefully we can finally finish what we started tonight," he says getting up, stretching out a hand to me.

I take it and brush off my pants with my other hand after zipping my hoodie back up.

On the way back to my house, we hear arguing, and Damien stops running before we see who it is. He pulls me close to his body and places a single finger on my lips so he can listen.

"What the hell were you doing with her? She's my cousin, Sam, you're such a dick," we hear Leah scream.

"Come on, Lee-Lee, you know I love you, don't end it like this," Sam pleads.

"Really? If you love me so much then why won't you tell me where you were for those two weeks, and why the hell would you be seeing my cousin behind my back," Leah snaps.

"I told you I can't tell you where I was for the safety of the tribe. And it's not like that between me and Emily. I love you," he counters.

"Just go," we hear her say with a shaky voice.

Seconds later Sam runs by us in a blur, and Damien and I continue back on the way to my house.

"I never thought I'd see the day where Sam and Leah fought like that," I say as we head into my house, and straight to the downstairs bathroom so he can help clean the scrapes on my back.

I take my sweatshirt off and lean over the sink while Damien rubs peroxide over the cuts.

"I've never seen her that upset before, and he's always brooding now. It's miserable being around him. He used to be such a cool guy. I don't want that to happen to us," he says, turning me around and holding me gently in his arms. He lifts my face so that our eyes meet and he kisses me slowly.

"And what, may I ask, are my daughter and her boyfriend doing half dressed in my bathroom?" my dad asks, leaning in the doorframe.

I take a step away from Damien and put my sweatshirt back on.

"Sorry, Daddy, we went out for a run and I scraped my back. Damien was just cleaning it out for me," I say with a smile, going on my tip toes to kiss his cheek.

He smiles down at me and pushes us out of the bathroom.

"Whatever you say. Don't you have to get ready for the big game tonight?" he asks Damien.

He nods, "Yeah, I do, listen, do you mind if I bring Kim with me to a bonfire with the rest of the team tonight?"

"Who's going to be there the football team and their girlfriends?"

"Yes, sir," Damien answers.

"And what time will you be back?" he asks.

"Around 1ish, unless you want her back sooner," he says with a smile.

"One-ish is fine, just give me a call or text when you're on your way home so I know you're ok."

"Oh, thank you, Daddy," I say hugging him tight around the waist like I used to when I was little. He smiles and kisses the top of my head.

"I have to get ready for work, good luck at the game," he says with a smile as Damien and I head to the front door.

We stop at the door and he leans in to kiss me goodbye.

"I'll see you at the game, I love you," He says sweetly and leans down to kiss me.

"Mmm, you too," I say with a small smile.

I watch him walk down my driveway before slowly shutting the door.

"Ugh, gag me," I hear my brother, Tristan, tease from behind me.

"Shut up," I say feeling the blood rush to my cheeks.

"Aaw, Kim's blushing" he says, pinching my cheek.

I smack his hand away and climb up the stairs behind him to get to my bedroom.

***

The guys win the game after a final touchdown made by Paul in the final quarter. The bonfire's going to be insane now that they're celebrating a win.

Rachel and I are up in her bedroom getting ready for tonight.

"Did you see him make that catch? Kim, It was insane! Like he's so hot! Have you noticed how he looks lately?" Rachel asks, referring to Paul, playing with her hair again.

I nod my head that's bent over my sketch book. To tell the truth, I wasn't really paying attention to her anymore. I'd heard the same thing all afternoon since we left the game.

She's literally become obsessed with Paul over the past couple of weeks. Not to say that I'm not kind of like that with Jared, but at least I don't go around telling everyone about it.

We hear the doorbell ring, followed by her little brother Jacob yelling up the stairs.

"Rache, Kim, The guys are here," he yells up.

I close my beach scene, grab my phone, and we head down the stairs together.

As soon as we hit the bottom I plaster a smile on my face.

"Bye, Billy, Bye Jake," we say before leaving the house.

I climb into the backseat of Aiden's car with Damien right behind me. He pulls me in for a kiss and I grab his hand after, leaning my head against his shoulder.

Once we reach the bonfire, the party's already going in full swing. Everyone's already begun drinking; Rachel, Aiden and Damien are all quick to catch up. I decide not to.

At some point, everyone around the bonfire begins to get frisky, and I lose where Rachel is. I saw her talking with Paul and Aiden earlier, but now I only see Aiden.

I look behind me when I feel a body press up against me.

"Come on, baby, lets go somewhere we can be together," Damien whispers into my ear, sliding his hands up and down the sides of my body, obviously beyond tipsy.

I shake my head and push myself out of his hold.

"Kimmy, stop being such a bitch," he whispers and I see his eyes growing fierce in the firelight.

"How many times am I going to say no? Especially not when you're drunk," I say disgusted.

He pulls my wrist so that I'm up against him again, and I feel his grip getting tighter.

"I said lets go," He says fiercely into my ear and I begin to tear up as he pulls me towards the trees surrounding the beach.

He unzips my sweatshirt with his free hand, and attacks my lips with his. I can taste the alcohol on his lips, and I try to shake out of his grip as he slips his hand under my top.

He pulls me harder against him and I let out a whimper.

"Damien, stop," I say turning my face away from him.

He doesn't and I begin to cry harder as he unhooks my bra and pushes me further in.

"Let go of her, Damien," I hear a deep voice say from behind me.

"Why would I do that?" he asks whoever it is.

"Because she said stop."

"Yeah, and who are you to tell me what to do?" he says pushing me away from him.

I hit the sand and clutch my left hand into my chest.

I look up just in time to see Jared punch Damien square in the face. I stare up in shock as he goes straight down.

Satisfied with his work, Jared comes over to me and bends down so that his dark eyes are level with mine.

"Are you ok?" he asks me as he tries to gently pull my hand away from my chest to inspect the damage.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. What about him?" I ask looking over at Damien.

"I don't know why you care about that joker, but, yeah, he should be ok. He was well on his way to passing out before I hit him," he says with a satisfied smile.

"He's just drunk, I know he didn't mean it," I say standing up and dusting myself off.

"Yeah, whatever you say. Do you need a ride home? I'm heading out now," Jared offers.

I hesitate, and Jared rolls his eyes, turns his back, and walks back towards the bonfire.

I look back down at Damien, then rush after Jared.

"You're just going to leave me there like that?" I ask.

He turns around and stares at me hard, "Well, you didn't answer, I thought you were too worried about him, are you ready to go?" he asks me with a humorless expression on his face.

I nod, "Let me just get Rachel, she's staying at my house tonight. Do you mind waiting?"

He shakes his head and sits by the fire side. I ask around and find out Rachel disappeared down the beach with Paul. Aiden and I follow her footprints until we hear grunting and moaning. I turn my head and I see Rachel riding Paul. Aiden sees it too and snaps out of his drunken stupor.

"What the fuck are you doing with him, Rache?" Aiden asks walking over to them.

Rachel looks over to us and I don't know where to look. She hastily grabs her clothes and gets dressed, before running her fingers through her hair.

"It's not what it looks like," she tries to explain.

"Shut it, I know what you were doing, I'm not blind, slut," Aiden yells in her face.

Paul slides his shorts on and gets into Aiden's face.

"Don't talk to her like that," he growls, fists shaking.

"She's my girlfriend, don't tell me how to talk to her. How dare you take advantage of her while she's drunk," Aiden growls back.

"I didn't take advantage of her, she wanted it. S'not my fault she wants me more than you. Just look at all this no girl can resist me," Paul says with a cocky grin.

"You fucking bastard," Aiden growls, lunging at him.

Paul lunges back, shaking more and more when suddenly a big black creature walks out of the trees knocking Aiden towards the beach, and Paul further into the trees. Rachel and I let out a shriek and a few people come running toward us. Jared and Damien included.

Rachel finds Rebecca in the crowd and gets consoled by her twin.

Jared asks me what happened and I tell him everything. After the cops take witness accounts, Jared takes me home, all to Damien's chagrin.

Sunday morning I wake up to countless texts and missed calls from Damien. I ignore them all and go about my day as normal. Using the bruise on my left wrist as incentive to stay mad.

On Monday in school Damien apologizes and days later we're back together.

Monday morning in school, Rachel and Aiden don't talk at all.

Paul remains missing for another week after the party. His mom finds him curled up in bed when she returns from work one night.

He comes back to school a week after that, looking like Sam's twin and following in his footsteps. It takes little to set him off, and everyday he hangs out Sam I can see Jared getting more and more pissed.
