Chapter 10

Vanessa's pov

I didn't realize I had fallen asleep. I was so tired I slept the day away, only to be woken up to shouting. I heard two voices in particular. Jacob's and Cody's. I saw that it was dark out, glanced at the clock. Two in the morning. Good God, what were they fighting about so early they should either be patrolling or in bed. I peered downstairs and looked in the doorway. Instead of hiding I walked in, "What the hell is going on? Some people need their sleep, ya know?" I was really tired, and when I get tired, I get pissy. Jacob kept staring at me like I was an angel that flew from heaven. I will never forget that look for the rest of my life. Cody ran to my side and hugged me tight. "Promise me something? Promise we'll always be close no matter what happens?" What was up with him. I put up my hand and ran up the stairs to try to forget the everything that had just happened. I went straight to sleep and and woke up the next morning at seven. Got up, got dressed and went to "my" tree to think.

OK, so controlling my thoughts while patrolling with Cody did not work out. At all. I ended up thinking about her and we got in this huge fight. When wolves fight, they fight. When Sam stopped us we headed to Emily's house. We were arguing at two in the morning when my angel came down. OK, she wasn't mine yet, but she would be. I just stared at her without saying a word. Probably not the smoothest thing to do, but all my "coolness" went away when she was around. It was like I wasn't a "werewolf" anymore. Like all labels were gone. I was just me. We argued, she came down, she got tired and pissy. She was so cute when she was pissy. OK, she was cute all the time. I smile every time I think of her. And that's a lot. I had to tell her sometime. Or just talking to her would be good too. Then I remembered we had our "date" tonight at eight. I got a tad school boy excited. Here goes nothing..
