A few days later... (July 22nd)
I woke up and took a shower and than when I went into my room there
was a present on my bed. I guess somebody accidently left it there. I
decided to bring it downstairs to Emily. When I was walking downstairs
I noticed 4 more presents so I brought them too. When I made it to the
kitchen the whole pack screamed SURPRISE!
I was so confused.
"Surprise what?"
They all laughed at me.
"It's July 22nd don't you know of anything special today?" Paul
prompted.
I shook my head and they all laughed.
"It's your 14th birthday baby girl!" Leels told me
"Oh right...I totally knew that"
The rest of the day was spent with family and Brandon. He even asked me
to be his girlfriend and I of course said yes. I got a camera and an
ipod and god it was such a great day. Me and Leah went shopping too. I
got A LOT of things. I love my disfuntional family.
2 years later...
I was sitting on the porch swing with Paul. He and I have gotten really
close. He was my best friend now. I still hung out with Leah more
though. So we were sitting on the porch talking about random things
when my best friend Nina form New Jersey called me. I told Paul I would
be right back and I went to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Brooke?"Nina sounded frantic
"Yeah it's me. Nin whats wrong?"
"Can you pick me up from the seattle airport in like 3 hours."
"SUre hun. Why what happeed?"
"My dad got abusive and I booked a flight to see you. I didn't know
what else to do. Can I stay with you?"
"Of course girly I'll be there in 3 hours."
"Okay there getting ready to take off. I'm at a connector place. And
OMG! Why is your cousi sitting next to me right at this very second?"
"Oh my god Nina it was supposed to be a surprise!" I heard my cousin
Kathrine say in the background
"OKay well I'll go tell Sam you guys are coming and I'll pick ya'll up
in 3 hours BYE!"
I hung up and saw Sam was eavesdropping.
"Hey Sammy can Kathrine and Nina stay here. You know NIna's story now I
guess and well Kathrine was coming on a surprise can
take the spare room and Nin can stay in mine."
"Sure sweetheart have Jake drove guys should head on to the
airport now in case of traffic."
"OKay thanks Sammy I love you you're the best! Bye Paul!"
I ran to the truck to see Jake already in it.
I got in the car and we were on our wayt o the airport.
3 hours later..
When Nina and Kathrine came to the car I jumped out and gave Kathrine
a hug and then squeezed the life out of Nina. I haven't seen her in 2
years. We only talk on skype or text. I called her everyday though.
They both didnt have much but I knew Nina and I would have to go
shopping soon there was NO way I was letting her go back to her abusive
father. Ever.
When Nina made eye contact with Jake I knew he imprited. I sighed but
introduced him. He drove home with me and Nina int he bed of the
pick-up and him and Kathrine in the front seats. I couldn't wait for
Nina and Kathrine to eet Brandon I knew they would love him. I did. I
have been his girlfriend for 2 years. I just turned 15 2 weeks ago. We
made it through Freshman and Sophmore year and were ready to take on
Junior year. It was going to be SO fun.
We got back from the airport and I introduced Nina adn Katherine to
everybody. Kathrine was going to stay for 3 weeks. Thank god no one
imprnted on her too. Nina and I went up to my room with Leah and they
immediatly hit it off. Leah didn't like Kathrine very much though so
she just went straight to bed. Nin didn't like Brandon at all. She said
she didn't trust him. I didn't listen. But it was okay cause Kath loved
Brandon and said he was perfect for me. I was so glad that at least
Katherine approved.
2 weeks later...
I was so happy my best friend was here for 2 weeks and she knew about
he wolves and Jake imprinting on her and now they were so in love. It
was so cute. I was still with my Brandon and I was so happy that in
only one week Kath would be gone. I loved her but she got so annoying.
Nina never liked her she and Leah always said there was something about
her that they didn't trust. I was walking on the beach with Nina and I
saw Brandon's car. It was weird because he told me that he had a family
outing to go to so he couldn't hang out. I just shrugged it off. Maybe
he was with his family at the beach. Jake came back from patroling so
he and Nina went on a walk alone. I was bored so I decided to go to the
tree where me and Brandon first kissed 2 years ago. He was so nervous
and it was actually extremly adorable. I walked to the tree and I saw
Kathrine.
Kathrine and Brandon.
Making out.
I stopped.
"Brandon"
"He looked over and saw me
"It's not what it looks like."
"Your hooking up with my cousin!"
"I love her."
"And I love him." Kathrine put in
"When..." I said in barely a whisper.
"Since the second day she was here. Babe it was love at first sight.
I'm sorry." He reached foward to touch my wrist but I pulled away from
him
"Don't touch me! I never want to see ANY of you EVER again" I ran away
crying. I ran over to Nina and Jake.
"Jake take me home please. Take me home."
"Okay." He carried me to his car and Nina held me in the backseat. The
second the car was parked I ran into the house screaming "SAM!"
He was out in an instant.
"Brookie what's wrong?"
"I-I need Leah wheres Leah?"
"She's just finishing patrol"
With that I ran into the woods.
"Leah!" I screamed over and over
She came over to me in human form and carried me into the house with me
sobbing in her arms. We were sitting on the couch with Nin and I still
couldn't manage to tell them. Katherine and Brandon ran into the house
and into the living room.
"Brookie-Bear-" Katherine started
"Don't call me that. You lost that privlege when I caught you sucking
facce with my BOYFRIEND of TWO years. You lost that privelege when you
said you LOVED each other and that it was love at first sight. You lost
that privelege when you BROKE MY HEART! YOU AREN'T MY COUSIN AND YOU
BRANDON SURE AS HELL AREN'T MY BOYFREIND. I HATE YOU BOTH. KATHERINE
YOU ARE NO LONGER CONSIDERED MY FAMILY! I HATE YOU SO MUCH. YOU RUINED
MY LIFE. YOU STOLE THE LOVE MY LIFE! GET OUT! TAKE YOUR BAGS AND GET
OUT! NEVER COME NEAR ME AGAIN! I HATE YOU! DON'T BOTHER CALLING ME OT
TEXTING ME DON'T BOTHER APOLOGIZING! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! NEVER!
GET OUT OF MY LIFE!"
They both ran out of that door so fast. I collapsed back into Leah and
Nina. By then the whole pack knew what happened but I could care less.
I lost my love to my freaking cousin so much for family. The only
person who would ever understand was Leah. The only people I could bare
to look at were her and Nina.
"Can we go into my room?" I sobbed
Leah picked me up and Nina followed into my room. I fell asleep in
their arms sobbing.
The Next Day
I didn't do anything all day. I sat in Leah's lap with Nina's head in
mine and we ate ice cream and wacthed movies all day. I looked like a
mess but I didn't care. Then I realized yeah he was my boyfriend but I
should've known we weren't going ot be together forever. I was
imprinted on by Paul. I sighed. Paul had been on my mind for the last
month or so. I couldn't get him out of my head even if I tried. That's
why I started to ignore him. i know it's because of he imprint but I
don't know what I'm feeling and he confuses me everytime I'm around
him. I just can't take it. I haven't told anyone about how I feel
though. No one would understand. I don't like to show my emotions
either. That's why it was weird for me to break down and Nina knew it.
She knew I was really hurting if I was to blow up like that. But I
needed to be strong I hated when people worried about me. That's why
I'm putting on my happy mask today and acting like nothing happpeed.
nina knows I'm going to too. She knows me to well. I got in the shower
an washed my neglected hair and blow dried and flat ironed it. I put it
in it's usual two braids and got dressed in shorts and a sugarlips.
Nothing to fancy. I am a tomboy so it's to be expected. I was super
super hungry so I went downstairs to get food. Everybody was there. I
smiled at them and got my food. I normally only eat 2 plates of food but today I was so hungry I ate five full plates. FIVE! Everyone even Nina looked at me shocked. I ran upstairs embarrased. I pulled on my overly large sweatpants that I had on the night before. They were usually down past my feet but now they landed at the top of my ankles like capris.
Just last night they were normal…What was happening to me?
