Chapter 13

sitting like a statue, staring at Patch with only the dim lights from the dashboard to see the smirk across his face. i could not see the expression in his eyes though.

"compensation? what do you want?" i asked slowly, not wanting to truly know what he wants.

"you. your body. your heart" he said, as his right hand shot behind my head and pulled me into a kiss.

it was a smooth, gentle yet hard kiss that gave the impression of a long lust finally being satisfied. we continued kissing for two minutes, until Patch started slowly taking my jacket down off my shoulders and down my arms.

Suddenly a sharp pain stabbed into my head again.

"stop" i said pulling away in an instant as the pain got more intense, "could he be watching me?" i whispered to myself hoping Patch never heard but he did.

"who's watching you?" he asked, moving in again to carry on but as he grew closer i grew more scared.

"nothing, goodnight Patch" i said in a hurry as i opened my door, hopped out, closed it and started to move towards my house. my vision blurred and i collapsed to my knees.

"Nora!" Patch called, jumping out of the car and starting to jog over to me, but he never got to me before Jacob and Suzu did.

"back off Patch!" Jacob growled, taking a step towards him.

"bite me Jacob" Patch growled in return.

I managed to stand up in spite of the pain. "both of you stop, Jacob let's go, goodnight Patch" i yelled at the top of my voice which made everyone jump with surprise. i never really raise my voice much.

"I'm not leaving you Nora" Patch said standing his ground.

"goodnight Patch!" i repeated giving a 'now's not the time' glare.

"fine" Patch mumbled, got back into his car and drove away.

"what were you doing with him!" Jacob yelled marching over to me.

"i can do what i want!" i yelled back as we went face to face. (more like face to chest since Jacob is taller than me.)

"do you have a death wish!" He threw back.

"well, maybe i do but so what, my mothers dead, my father doesn't want to know i exist and that both my school life and social life is going bad right now, so yeah maybe i do have a death wish!" i screamed, as i saw Marcie Miller coming down the porch steps in the slutty way she does.

"Jakey, when we going?" Marcie asked in a all sweet and innocent tone of voice.

"tell me you didn't bring her here" i said in a irritated tone.

"yeah, so she's my girlfriend, and who i go out with is none of your business" he replied as we both calmed down.

"well, your a hypocrite then, you have no right to butt in my business and i don't want you near my house, ever" i said my voice going into a dangerous tone i didn't know i could do, "now take that sket and go away" i finished and walked up to my house, tears prickling in my eyes, i thought it was from the pain in my head and the sudden feeling of nausea.

"Nora, wait!" Suzu called after me as she reached the front door which i closed, locked and sat with my back against it. "Nora, let me in!"

"no, Suzu, i just want to be on my own" i said through the door, "sorry, i just have alot to think through."

"ok, well, give me a call when you want to talk" Suzu replied and after two minutes i heard two cars head down the driveway and fade into the distance.

Tears streaming down my face as i remembered the quote my mother taught me when i was a child.

"Nora, remember this saying and you'll feel the love we all have for you, tho my sorrow may seem endless, all i have is my love from those around me and the love they get from me" my Mothers voice came clear in my head.

"sorry, mum but i don't believe in that saying" i said looking to the ceiling,"it isn't making me feel better, only worse."

"my sweet Nora" came a familiar voice from the dark in front of me. i looked up and saw two small, red circles floating in front of my face.

suddenly i felt someone's mouth push against mine, the pain and nausea disappeared. the mouth that was on mine was slow at first but then it pushed for a more faster pace.

"stop, who are you?" i asked pulling away after coming to my senses.

"it's me" said Raphael as he turned the lights on.

"how do you know where i live?" i asked, tears still leaving my eyes at a fast rate.

"i told you, i've known you since you were very small" Raphael smiled that warm heart melting smile, as he slumped down next to me and placing a arm around my shoulders, "if you need to cry, just use me as a teddy bear."

i turned my head to look at him, there seemed to be warmth in his eyes.

"why are you here if your a demon? aren't you meant to be causing havoc somewhere" i asked leaning away from him.

"I'd rather be here with you" he chuckled pulling me closer again.
