Without words

It's been a month since the accident. A month since I said a word to Kim. I see her and Grace every once in a while when I see Jerry but they don't say a word. During dinner, Kim gives me looks, hopeful looks. I just don't know how to get her back. I want to show her that I'll always be here, that I'm not going anywhere. I try, but she walks past me. I wanted to grab her, tell her I'm here for her but the thing is I'm not. I never was. We hated each other to the point where we don't even know why and when I finally start to like her, I lose her.

I sat at the dining hall, alone and bored as I poked at my food. I stood up and threw my food away. I went to leave when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw a bundle of hair flow into my face. Small fragile arms wrapped around my neck and a smooth soft voice whispered in my ear.

"He's awake" My smile grew as I spun her around in my arms.

"Really" I asked excitedly. She nodded and I grabbed her small hand and pulled her out of dinner. She held my hand tight as we ran together to the infirmary.

We stood in front of the door. I could see Grace's brunette hair through the glass panel and looked over at Kim, who was staring at me. She reached forward and pushed open the door. I walked in before her and saw my damage friend sitting up in his bed. He waved at me smiled. I ran over to him and hugged his lightly.

"Good to see you!" He said. I laughed and sat on the couch. Kim sat down next to me and rested her hand on my knee. I looked at her confused but she just smiled at Grace and Jerry. Her smile was so genuine, so not what I'm used to. Grace sat on the edge of his bed, holding his hand and telling how much she missed him. "So what'd I miss?" Jerry asked, looking at the three of us. I shrugged and Grace looked at the ceiling. Kim tapped her foot against the tile lightly.

"Ugh," Grace started. "Kim got a new boyfriend?" She said shrugging.

"Grace" Kim hissed. I sat awkwardly as the two girls glared at each other. Grace was shrugging and Kim was mouthing to her.

"Nice, Jack you finally caught her!" Jerry said, high fiving me.

"Actually, Jerry it's not me" I said awkwardly but trying to sound as if I didn't care. "But who is this new guy, Kim?" I asked, turning to Kim, smirking. I missed this, the teasing and non-awkwardness. She glared at me and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Oh, you guys know him!" Grace spook up. I kept up my staring contest with Kim as Grace talked. "Carson" Grace said. I looked away from Kim and looked at Jerry. Jerry squealed and soon enough Jerry wasn't Jerry but a black bunny sat in his spot.

"Same old, Jerry" I mumbled. He changed back and put his arm around Grace.

"What? Carson's a good guy" Kim commented, leaning back against the couch. My hand lay above her head as it stayed fixed on to the top of the back rest. I groaned.

"Good guy, sure he is?" I said sarcastically.

"Can someone explain?" Grace asked. Jerry turned to Grace and smiled weakly.

"Carson-." I interrupted Jerry.

"Carson's just a bad guy, okay?" I said. We all sat in silence for a while until I decided to end it. "So how did Jerry wake up?" I asked. Grace smiled and hugged Jerry's waist.

"I was in here really sad that it has been a month since the… you know… so I lay down next to him and cried on his shoulder." Kim whipped her face and Grace sniffled. "Then I went to kiss him but I ended up kissing midair because he transformed into a dove." The girls giggled and Jerry kissed Grace's temple. "Then he changed back and I sent Kim to get you." We sat for a few minutes talking about how I wasn't surprise that that's how Jerry woke up. That when a vibration came from the couch. I looked at Kim and she pulled out her phone.

"I'll take this outside" She stood up and walked out the door.

"I'm going to get some of your clothes, Jerry." He nodded and I stood up. I walked outside and down the hall when I hear a familiar voice. I peeked around the corner and saw Kim pacing around the empty hallway with a phone taped to her ear. I listened in closely and could hear her frustration in her voice.

"I'm sorry… My friend, he just woke up… He's not that kind of boy… I'm not cheating on you… Carson! I'll be there soon!" She hung up and took a deep breathe. She sat down on the cement and took a huge sigh. She stood up and walked with her head down. She looked up and saw me. Her eyes grew wide and she looked like she was about to dash. I ran up to her and grabbed her waist, holding her in place before her vampire instincts kicked in. Her breathing was heavy, which was very odd because for her it never was, and she looked so scared. I brushed her hair out of her face and looked at her closely.

"Kim, are you okay?" I asked. She bites her lip and pulled away from me quickly.

"I have to go" She said before taking off. I walked back to the room slowly and put the card in the door as I always did. I looked up and saw the 'Don't let her go' was gone and replaced. 'Save the Princess' was written in pink cursive handwriting and sat under my name. I pushed the door opened and found Jerry's nicest smelling clothes.

I walked out of the boys' dorm and walked across the court yard and pasted the girls' dorm when I heard yelling come from around the corner of the building. I looked and next to the fountain I saw a familiar blonde being yelled at by a tall brunette.

"What the hell, Kim. Why were you hugging him?!" He yelled, flailing his arms around.

"Carson, let's not do this out here." She said softly, grabbing his arm and trying to pull him inside.

"No! I want everyone to know how much of a slut you are!" He yelled. Everyone around looked around.

"I'm not a slut!" She yelled back.

"I know what you do to other guys and that's not happening to me!" He said. He pulled her in close but a disgusted look stayed on her face. "What am I thinking, you don't disserve me!" He pushed her to the ground and everyone around gasped. I put Jerry's clothes down and ran between them. "Oh look, your little boy toy is here to save you" I rolled my eyes and helped Kim up. She whipped off her black shorts and thanked me. "I can't believe you! You flirt with him right in front of me!" Carson yelled. She stood in front of him and spit in his face.

"I'm done with you" She said. He went to hit her but I quickly caught his punch. Kim stepped out of the way and I tackled Carson. I pinned him on the ground as I felt my spine crack and felt my muscles grow.

"Oh look, Jackie, finally turned into a werewolf." Carson chuckled. His fangs stuck out and he hissed at me. He flipped me over and punches my gut. "Shouldn't you be with your friend? You did put him in a coma in the first place." I flipped onto of him and my claws sunk into his shoulder. "I thought I would have put him into one first" Carson chuckled. I growled and picked him up by the jaw. I threw him and felt my muscles flex back to normal.

A soft hand lands on my shoulder and it crawls around my neck. I turned and a small body pressed against mine. I held her waist and felt her rest her head on my shoulder as her hair tickled my bare arm.

"Thank you" She whispered in my ear. I chuckled and squeezed her tightly. We went to pull away and my vision was filled with flashes.

"I thought they hated each other!" Voices yelled.

"I'm happy they're together!"

"Why did they hate each other anyways?" That when Kim and I pulled away and stood awkwardly next to each other.

"Have you been dating this whole time?" Some asked. Kelsey came out of the crowd and gave me thumbs up.

"We're not dating!" Kim tried yelling.

"YET" Someone added. Everyone laughed and looked over at Kim who played with her blonde hair bored. I laughed and grabbed her hand.

"They're going to go make out!" I laughed as I pasted Carson's groaning figure that lay on the hard ground. Pictures were being taken of him and as we past he groaned and kicked his feet angrily. I picked up Jerry's clothes and we pushed into the room laughing.

"What's going on?" Jerry asked. He and Grace sat in almost the same place but Grace had her head on Jerry's lap and he played with her hair.

"Carson… pictures… people…" Kim said between laughs. We sat on the couch and I threw his clothes at Jerry. Jerry stood up and walked into the bathroom. Grace watched him until he shut the door and she turned to us with a smirk.

"So" She said. Kim and I stayed quiet as she looked from me to Kim. "What's going on?"

"Carson was yelling at me," Kim said. Grace groaned and rolled her eyes. "Then he pushed me and Jack came running. They had a little fight and Carson ended up on the ground. I hugged Jack and then there was like a crowd around taking pictures and yelling crazy stuff." Kim finished and I sighed remembering minutes ago. "Oh, Jack, why did Carson say he thought he'd put Jerry in a…" She trailed off and my eyes widened. Jerry came in a Kim and Grace looked at him and he turned and danced in his outfit. He stopped and looked at us.

"What?" He said. We laughed and he sat down on the messed up bed and held Grace in his arms.

"Carson said he thought he would have put you in a… yeah… first." Grace said. Jerry looked at me and sighed.

"What is it?" Kim asked. She looked at me and I looked at Jerry and saw Grace whispering in his ear.

"Carson," Jerry said, looking up and hugging Grace. "Was my bully before Jack became my friend." The girls gasped.
