I woke up to my alarm clock buzzing loudly, and the shower running. I groaned, lifting my head from the pillows and letting my eyes roam the mess that Sam and I had made of my room the previous night. It wasn't too bad, seeing as I didn't have much in here in the first place.
Clothes were strewn around the place and a few things knocked over.
I got up and went through my bags, coming out with an outfit that looked good for today.
I sat down on the bed (glorified mattress) and sighed. Maybe Sam was right. Maybe it was time to settle down. After all, I had felt so much for Sam, I usually adored spending the night with him, but all I could think of while Sam was touching my body in all the right places was how it might feel with Jacob. Or maybe he was wrong, I'd have to talk to Dean, I was certain he'd know what to do.
After all, Sam had always wanted to stop moving around and have a normal life. Not me, I had my chance and I didn't do well with normal.
I located the pair of jean I was looking for and took Sam's phone from his pocket, then selected 'dean' from his contacts. And called.
He answered his phone on the third ring.
"Sam! Where the hell were you all night?" Dean scolded. I rolled my eyes at his overprotectiveness.
"Oh, he just came across me, no biggie." I grinned as Dean came to a lack of words.
"Heather?" he managed to choke out.
I laughed and nodded, aware that he couldn't see me.
"Yeah Dean, it's me. I just wanted to invite you guys to my place, but I won't be there since..." I looked over at my clock "Crap! I'm late for school! Sorry dude, got to go!" I hung up, and left a note for Sam and a chocolate heart on the pillow.
Next, I grabbed my backpack, and ran to the door of the bathroom, yelling that I had to go and that I'd be home later.
Rushing through the empty house, I then ran to the Impala and started it quickly, driving off to class.
Last night had been wonderful, but somehow I'm sure it could have been better.
Like if it had been Jacob?
No... Ah, shut up conscience.
You and I both know I'm right. You're in love with Jacob.
I am not! I could never love a monster. And how does lust determine love? My mind ignored the valid point I had made.
And all those passionate kisses? And how you can't get enough of him?
I'm just humoring him. I feel nothing for that Shape-Shifter.
But even as I thought that, I could feel the tug in my heart, the longing to be near that thing again.
At least admit it to yourself, you pig-headed hunter!
Yeah... No. Maybe? Lets stick with maybe.
I skidded to a stop in my parking spot, and jolted out, locking the doors quickly behind me.
The moment I stepped foot in the classroom, the bell rang.
I sat in my spot with a sigh. Thank you, maniac driving skills.
"That was close" I heard Jacob mumble from beside me. I froze. What class was this again?
Science, I believe.
I turned to look at Jacob and stared a bit, my eyes slightly wider than usual. Did I really love him? Or was I simply humouring him?
I couldn't believe my whole world was crashing and messing up simply because an arrow landed on this town.
Or maybe this was meant to be. But that only makes a lot of maybes with absolutely no certainty.
"What's on your mind, Executioner?" Jacob whispered, staring back at me.
"I'm arguing with myself, Shifter" He wants to do titles? It's a game two can play at. And why was I even talking to him in the first place?
"About what?" he asked. His eyes suddenly held heartbreaking pain, and I couldn't help but want to cheer him up, to hold him in my arms. But instead, I kept my straight-faced charade.
"About what to do with you." I said. His eyes glistened a bit before he lowered his head and shut his eyes tight.
"And what may the result of that be?" his voice shook a bit. I was about to answer when the lights went out and a movie started playing at the front of the class. What it was about? Beats me.
I leaned closer to Jacob, so that he could hear what I was saying.
"I don't know. But I won't kill you because I'm not sure how my own heart would react. People think I'm growing weak, Jacob. I can't have that." I whispered in his ear.
I was so tired and his shoulder looked so comfy, I couldn't help resting my head on it.
"You might as well kill me! Every time we get closer, I get my hopes up, and then you diss me. Did you know it kills me inside every time? And did you even think of me while you were swapping spit with that other guy?" he hissed in my ear. He sounded hurt, and furious at the same time.
It pained me to see him like this. God damn it! And he had a point, how could I have not thought of that? Of all the pain I was causing him? If the imprint thing was right, I had no doubt in mind that there might be a lot more pain and temptation coming up.
"I'm sorry, Jake. And... I don't know why the hell I'm telling you this, but... Yes. Yes, I did think of you. I thought about how it felt right with you. And you know what? I'm obsessed with you." I breathed in his ear.
"How do you know my nickname?" he asked. He sounded like a lovesick puppy again.
I grinned as I remembered the corpse I still had to get rid of.
"Oh yeah. By the way, I'm going to need your help a bit. Some woman knew who I was. And she could read my mind. I killed her when she said I was growing weak because of you." I whispered lower in his ear. I couldn't afford anyone knowing about that.
Jacob gulped.
"And where do I come in?" he asked, his voice wavering a bit.
"I need to salt and burn the body so that she doesn't come back as a ghost and haunt my ass. That might be a little inconvenient" I chuckled lowly.
He nodded stiffly and I let my eyes close. Tiredness caught up, and within an instant, I was out like a light.
Z*Z*Z
I was awoken by lips pressing against mine.
Immediately, I reached for my knives, but I quickly realized I had forgotten them home. I must have forgotten to put them on in my hurry to get my ass to school. Aw shit.
So, I settled for opening my eyes. It was Jacob, his face inches away from mine.
I hadn't realized I was kissing back until he backed away, and I fell forwards.
A/N: Yep, go on. You know the drill, comment and I will update. I feel so powerful, having all the chapters already written out :D Anyways, yeah.
