Fifty Fifty…Duck
"What do you mean you're leaving me with him?" I asked, "MOM!"
"It's only while I go to work, and I don't think it best for you to come, especially if the Advil wears off or something." She apologized.
"But…Ben is at work today! That means I'm all alone!" I gasped. "This is a dumb idea! Why can't Honey be here? Or Mary Jo? Or Ben? Or Auriele…maybe not Auriele…maybe not Mary Jo either…perhaps just Honey…"
"Because they're adults and they have work." She sighed, "Samuel is here too."
"Mom!" I wailed, "NO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS!"
"I'll only be gone for a little bit." She backed out the door and locked it behind her before I could protest some more.
"Hey…Dad…" I smiled unconvincingly when I walked into the kitchen. "So, it's just us and Samuel today…"
"Yes." He nodded.
Great…
I walked over to the medicine cabinet and pulled out the Advil. I tipped out a pill and put it back in the cabinet, now on top of my mess I had a headache. I went to get a glass and Dad stopped me.
"You're becoming an Advil junkie."
"Would you rather handle a horny and cranky teenage girl without her boyfriend in site?" I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms.
He faltered.
I smiled and pushed past him and grabbed a clean glass. Filling it with water, I sat down and took the medicine. When I put the glass down a drop of it dripped onto the table and when I took the glass to the sink where I dumped it and placed it gently I turned back to see my father trying not to give into his urge to wipe the little drip off.
I started laughing because he was staring at it so intensely. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and took a picture, I couldn't help it.
He growled at me and I laughed harder before handing him a paper towel.
"Knock yourself out." I shook my head. I left before I could see if he wiped it or actually left it. I know Mom had been trying to work on this whole "neat and perfect" thing Dad had going.
I sat down on the couch before having a heart attack when Samuel moved in the chair by the window.
I…probably should've known he was there…
"Morning…" I mumbled, thoroughly embarrassed.
"How are you feeling?" He was always trying to be professional (insert eye roll here). He likes to pretend he didn't go sledding in Aspen Creek whenever Anna and I felt like heading to the hills.
"You're got going to get me in bed if that's what you're asking." I did roll my eyes here and moved so I was hanging upside down off the couch. Dad had run into the room, the person he is, when he heard my answer. "Calm down, Pops, I was joking."
He glared at me and stormed back into the kitchen and I broke into laughter again.
"Porsche, you're crazy." Samuel looked amused and I turned the television on.
"Probably." I couldn't shrug very well upside down, but I tried and almost lost my balance. I quickly regained it and flipped through the channels. "Nothing's ever on!"
"You have a DVD player." Sam got up and began to leave the room before saying, "Careful, you know you're temperature isn't always normal."
"I know." I mumbled, which is why I had been working extra hard to keep Mei Mei in the back. I was enough like Mom that my temperature wasn't always higher than the norm. If i kept my head I'd be exactly 98.8, only .2 higher, but humans can be like that too. Samuel had thought it would help me one day, whaddya know?
"Okay." He left and I got off the couch to put a DVD in the machine. "And can you and Ben keep to one room perhaps?"
I blushed and sat back down on the couch.
"Then we wouldn't drive you insane!" I called, it was a really bad come back, but whatever.
He just laughed.
He thinks he's so damn hilarious.
I watched movies all day long, only leaving the room for the bathroom, lunch, and more Advil. Halfway through Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Ben showed up. He sat next to me and pulled me against him.
Kissing the top of my head, he asked how I was doing.
"Shhhh!" I hissed, "It's Johnny Depp!"
He growled playfully.
"He can't have you."
"Oh please, he's old and married. He's just a fantastic actor!" I broke into laughter when his hallucination announced he had lost his brain.
"This is such a dumb and unrealistic movie." Ben sighed.
"Were you alive during the pirates?"
"No!" He frowned.
"Well then, you know shit." I smiled, "Although you're right, it is very unrealistic."
"So you were alive?" He chuckled.
"No! I'm fifteen!" I rolled my eyes.
He closed his eyes and tensed for a moment.
"Please don't remind me." He let out a breath. "It makes me feel…like…a really bad person…"
"Well, it is illegal to be sleeping with me considering you're older than eighteen and I'm not." I admitted before realizing it was a bad idea to bring up.
He let go of me and pushed me away lightly, rubbing his face. I was suddenly aware he was trying not to cry.
Shit, I screwed this up big time…
How the hell do I fix it?
"Ben, I didn't mean it like…that." I reached a hand out cautiously. "I'd never mean it like that, I'm happy we're together!"
He took his hands down and shook his head.
"Porsche, you mean more to me than you can imagine, but you can't imagine what kind of conflicted emotions I have about being with you in any way, shape, or form." He looked at me, "You drive me crazy, you really do."
I looked at him apologetically.
"If it's any consolation, I drive everyone crazy."
"Not in the same way, never in the same way." He sighed.
"You can be the peanut butter to my jelly," I sang softly, "You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly. You can be the captain and I can be your first mate. You can be the chills that I feel on our first date. Don't know if I could ever be, without you 'cause boy you complete me and in time, I know that we'll both see that we're all we need. 'Cause you're the apple to my pie. You're the straw to my berry. You're the smoke to my high, and you're the one I want to marry."
"Music soothes the savage beast." Samuel commented, walking by on his way downstairs.
"IS THAT HOW YOU LIVED SO LONG?" I jumped up.
"Damn, now she knows the secret." Mom entered the household. "There go our funeral plans."
"You're kidding right?" I asked. She didn't comment, just ignored me as she made her way from the hallway to the kitchen. "Right? RIGHT? MOM?"
"Easy, I was kidding." She laughed.
"Good." I sighed and sat back down next to Ben.
"You paused it." He commented.
"Yes," I agreed, "My mind works differently from yours. It's pack before school, mate before back, Johnny Depp before mate."
Despite his earlier qualms, he kissed me and before long I was breathless.
"Who before mate?"
"Sorry, Depp still beats you out." I smiled after taking a few huge gulps of oxygen.
He smirked.
"Of course he does."
åßΩ
"They're getting married during a battle sequence?" Ben asked.
"I think its romantic." I told him.
"No you don't."
"Fine," I rolled my eyes, he was holding me in his lap though so he couldn't see it. "I don't, but they don't know if they'll make it through and it does seem like they won't."
"Elizabeth kind of reminds me of you." There was a frown in his voice. "I don't like it."
"What do you mean?" I paused the movie again and turned to look at him.
"Well, she's going to get herself killed for one thing!" He pointed out, "And she is dating, or whatever they call it, someone she's known almost her whole life. And I've seen the beginning, she carries in some wicked looking weapons."
"I don't have a gun let alone anything else."
"You have teeth." He shrugged. "And there's the stubborn attitude, and notice she's the one who killed Jack."
"The Kracken killed him."
"She distracted him." He frowned.
"I wouldn't kiss any drunkard to kill him." I snapped.
"You're already kissing me, a drunkard isn't a big step down. In fact, it could be a step up..."
"Stop, STOP SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT OKAY?" I growled. "I love you the person, understood? Now stop with the God damned self loathing and watch the movie without interrupting!"
He didn't say any more but I could tell he didn't agree with my statement. I turned back to the screen and hit the 'play' button in a huff, which was bad. My temperature was definitely rising a little if the Advil was starting to wear off already because I had just taken it an hour ago.
I ignored the going-to-be feeling and just watched the screen.
"Can we forget the ending at watch something else?" He asked suddenly, right at the part on the Dutchman too.
"Why?" I asked and I felt his lips on the back of my head.
"Because," He murmured, "We have a fight in a few days, if we make it that far without one, and I know the ending already, I don't want to think of either of us dying."
I could smell his wolf so I decided perhaps he was right. I shut the TV off entirely.
"Okay, what do you want to do now that you made me lose my temper and my Advil is now wearing off?" I asked with a glare directed at him for the comment about the Advil.
"Er…you know what? Turn it back on…" He looked nervous.
I laughed and shook my head.
"Just joking…sorta…but I won't kill you no worries."
"No, she'll just jump you." Samuel was on the stairs coming up.
Ben didn't look too amused.
"Why don't you have an accent all the time?" I asked.
"Because I've lived in this dump for over fifteen years, trust me, you lose some of the accent after a long time." He smirked, "But I find it untrue because I do still have an accent."
"Not on all the words though."
"No, that I'll admit." he nodded.
I nodded and thought for a minute.
"Can you wait? We get to be in charge of our own little mini group in a few days!" I smiled.
"I just told you, yes, yes I can wait. I have a terrible feeling." He sighed.
"But we're in charge of like five or six wolves!" I reminded, "For a whole half hour too!"
"You're just happy you get to boss people around." He laughed.
"Duh!"
Auriele burst through the door and stopped in front of me.
"Porsche, someone saw Jamie at the mall yesterday with two men." She said hurriedly. "What color are his eyes?"
"Really dark green-hazel color, you can't really tell." I responded nervously.
"Mierda, mierda, mierda!" She cursed, now I'm no passing Spanish student but she was definitely cursing and if I am correct, I think she said "shit" three times. "Shit" three times never means anything good. "Como pueda esto sucede? Por que few hizo lobo? Es solo un chico!"
"Auriele, Auriele?" I tried to get her to focus, "Como? You're speaking to a Spanish-1M failing student."
"Disculpas," She sighed, "Apologies, the boy who saw him at the mall said he was acting funny and his eyes were bright green."
"Jamie." I whispered. "He made the Change though then…he's alright?"
"If we can keep him from killing anyone, yes." She agreed.
"Oh my God." I covered my face with my hands. "This can't be happening."
"Porsche," Ben comforted, "He's alright though, he's alive."
"He made the Change!" I exclaimed, "He is not alright! Do you think I want to be what I am? I'm fifteen and I have to refrain myself from eating my friends! He has a girlfriend who is frantic about him! Ben, his whole life is in ruins now!"
"Porsche, he has you to help him through it. Once he gains a little control, he'll live an almost normal life."
Now I was really stressing and I the discomfort begin. There was no point taking Advil if I was going to get wound up anyways.
"Porsche, calm." He soothed, "The calmer you are, the better."
He meant, the calmer I was the less likely it was that I'd go into a frenzy.
Ben kissed me lightly on the lips and I took a deep breath to try to calm down. It worked to an extent, but I rolled with it.
"We need to fix this." I bit my lip. "Tell my dad?"
She nodded and headed upstairs.
I sat there in Ben's lap, thinking about the latest news before another wolf burst through the door.
"Where's Adam?" Warren asked, he was really angry if his wolf was there because he had some damn good control.
"What happened?" I asked, my mind automatically traveling to the thought of Jamie killing someone.
"Paul was just found half dead."
Ben tensed and held me tighter because I started to panic again.
What if Jamie had helped to attempt to kill him? I mean, I doubt he would have the practice Paul had, but if he was with two or three others they might stand a chance. What if Jamie had somehow gotten hurt? What if-
Stop it, you're getting too worked up. You won't sleep tonight now.
I couldn't calm down now.
"Where was he found?" But Warren didn't answer because Mom, Dad, and Auriele raced down the steps after hearing the commotion.
"None of use felt anything." Dad growled. "Did you?"
"No, Sir, I was on my way here when Greg called saying he had found Paul when he was walking out of the cinema." He reported, "He called Darryl too, I assumed he called you?"
"Never assume anything." I whispered.
Auriele let out a shocked gasp and you could literally see her vision cloud in her eyes. I wondered silently if that was what I had looked like before she growled.
"And that's why."
