Here's Chapter 30! Another big chapter only this time around it's all about Gabe sharing the wolf secret with Chloe...plus you'll probably see Cody come back in a few times.

Much Love,

Chapter 30

When He Told Her

(Chloe's P.O.V.)

Finally.

It's Friday, schools out for the weekend and then I have dance rehearsal tonight from 6 to 9 and then after that I'm driving over to Gabe's place cause he says he has something he needs to tell me.

Actually he sent me a text that said ~We need 2 talk~

Getting that text wasn't the best way to start off my weekend once I got out of school. Why is it that nothing is good when your boyfriend tells you that "we need to talk."

Ugh! This is just gonna throw me off for the rest of the day.

For now I'm not going to let it bug me right now. Elenore tends to notice when I'm upset and I don't her to worry about me.

I'm more worried about both of us than just myself only because I don't know if Cody is still in the area. It's like ever since he showed up at my parents house I don't feel like my daughter and I are safe.

There are things much more worse than Cody out there and Lord knows where they are. I consider myself lucky to have a guy like Gabe in my life.

He makes me happy. He makes my daughter happy and no I'm not trying force him into being a father for Nora. She doesn't even call him "daddy" and I love watching Gabe handle her so well. He even thinks we're like a little family and hearing him say makes me feel so much better about our relationship.

He loves my baby and he loves me. What more could I ask for—besides marriage—but that's not the point.

Despite how happy my life may be at the moment I'm scared.

I'm afraid to see it all end. My parents even think it's rare that Gabe and I have managed to do so well—then I have to deal with my mother nagging me ALL THE TIME about how she's seen girls go through what I'm going through same thing and they end up heartbroken.

I have a baby and a boyfriend who loves me and in the end he's going to confess how the only reason it's worked out this long is because he just wants to have sex with me—that's what my mother thinks but she still likes Gabe.

No she loves Gabe. My dad really loves Gabe. "I think he's the one," that's what he told me the other day only he said it in Spanish.

I'm not so sure about that whole finding "the one" theory of his but what can I say? It's my dad and he "knows" best.

I didn't have to leave for rehearsal for another hour so I went straight over to Lucy and Macy's after school and hung out with them since Nora was already over there and I was going to have to drop her off at my parents house later.

"So how are things going with my brother?" Lucy asked me.

"Great. Really great...only now I'm freaking out just a tad bit." I told her.

"Why?" Macy seemed confused.

I grabbed my phone out of my purse and started searching through my text messages to find the one I wanted to show them.

"This is why?" I held up my phone so they could see.

"Ohhhhhh," They both nodded.

"Yep. It sucks." I shrugged.

"Don't worry about it. Just because a guy says we need to talk, it doesn't mean he's going to break up with you. My brother loves you too much to even consider that. I know my brother...and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't do anything to hurt you or Nora like that—plus he loves your baby girl." Lucy told me.

"Him and Nora together are just sweetest thing. That day after Cody finally left, Nora wouldn't stop crying so Gabe took her back out on the porch and he just started singing to her and she stopped crying right away and nearly fell asleep in his arms." I sighed.

"Awwwwwwww!" Lucy and Macy cooed.

"He's so gentle with her and he's so good with kids—"

"Just watch. You two are going to get married and have some beautiful babies." Macy teased.

"Haha you're so funny." I rolled my eyes.

"No I'm being serious." Macy told me.

"Either way, I can promise you I won't be getting pregnant again for a long time. And if Gabe does ask me to marry him then I'll say yes—maybe." I said.

"Oh trust me. He is." Both of them said at the same time.

"Mama where's Gabe?" Nora asked me.

"He's doesn't live here sweety." I told her.

"Wha bout Lucy?" She said pointing over at Lucy.

"Yes she's Gabe sister but they don't live in the same house anymore. Gabe lives closer to Aunt Ella." I told her.

"Oh," Nora frowned.

"Don't worry baby. We'll see him later." I assured her.

Instead of replying Nora hopped into my lap and wrapped her arms around me. I love my baby girl. She's growing up so fast and to be honest I miss having her be just a tiny little baby who always cried when she wasn't in my arms.

Good times :)

~~~~Later that night~~~~

As soon as rehearsal ended I grabbed all my stuff and ran out to my car. I literally ran outside with my pointe shoes and my ballet clothes. I was meeting Gabe at his place so we could "talk" and I want to get there as soon as I possible can, only because I just want to this all over with.

My foot was a little heavy on the petal so I managed to get there in a good twenty-five minutes when it usually takes me forty minutes.

Gabe opened the door before I even got the chance to knock. Ugh! He's looks so damn sexy when he doesn't have his shirt on ;).

"That was fast," He said before leaning in to give me a kiss only be rejected when I walked right passed him and ran into his bathroom to change clothes.

"How was your day?" I heard him yell.

"Great! Nora was asking about you today when I went to go pick her up from your sister's place." I yelled back.

"Oh, well I'm stopping by their place tomorrow to fix their sink. So I'll see her then." He said.

"Good." I said as turning off the lights and walked back out into his living room.

"Gabe—"

"I'm right behind you." He said making me jump.

"Oh." I gasped.

"I went to go put on a shirt."

"No it's fine." I shrugged.

"Are you okay? I mean you seem a little bothered." Gabe asked me.

"Oh it's nothing...so um...what did you wanna talk about.?" I asked him trying not to sound too shaky.

"Ahhhhh," He nodded as if he understood the reason for the uneasy expression on my face. "You think I'm breaking up with you—"

"No...okay so what if I am? Either way it doesn't matter just—ugh—I'm over thinking this. But if you don't wanna see me anymore I understand completely." I said.

"Chloe," He shook his head. "I'm not breaking up with you." He chuckled.

"You're not—" Gabe kissed me before I could even finish what I saying, then again him kissing me sort of answered my question.

"What made you think that?"

"Well...you did text me saying that you wanted to talk." I mumbled.

"Right—I mean no—I mean yes—I mean...come on let's go for a walk." Gabe was very hesitant.

"You wanna go for a walk when you know good and well it's supposed to rain soon?" I asked him.

"Yea. Let's go for a walk." He grabbed my hand and laced his fingers in between mine before pulling me out the front door.

"Gabe what's going on?" I asked him as we began to walk further down the road, away from his house.

"Hold on a sec," He said, we continued walking ever farther.

"What do you mean hold on a sec? Where are we going?"

"The woods." Gabe said bluntly.

"Oh yea cause the woods sounds like a very safe place to be a night—let alone talk." I said sarcastically.

"Just trust me okay? Nothing is gonna happen. You're safe with me."

"Well I don't really feel safe with you at the moment knowing we're probably gonna be eaten alive by wolves any second." I told him.

"The wolves won't hurt us. Trust me I know...since one should be coming out soon." He mumbled under my breath.

We didn't stop until we were deep into the woods. Now it was really dark. The moon was the only source of light besides my phone that I was able to see with.

"So what the hell is going on? You have five minutes and if you don't tell me then I'm going to find my own damn way out of this place with or without your help." I told him.

"Okay okay...just hear me out before you jump to any conclusions—"

"I'm listening." I snapped.

He took a deep breath. "I'm a werewolf."

I busted out laughing when I heard him say that. "You're kidding right?" I asked him.

"No," he shook his head. "I'm pretty damn serious."

"So you seriously brought me all the way out here in the middle of a freaking forest just to bull shit me?" I asked him.

"No—"

"Are you sure? Cause I'm pretty sure you just told me that you're a werewolf and that's bull shit." I told him.

"I wasn't finished. No I'm not playing games. I'm being serious. This is what I have been wanting to tell you for a while only I've been waiting for the right time to get it all out." He explained.

Now this is really starting to piss me off.

"Okay if you can't be serious then I'm just gonna go because I have baby and I can't stand to be away from her for one second not knowing if her jack ass of a father is trying to get to her. In case you didn't know I am in the middle of crisis trying to fight for the custody my daughter and the last thing I need is my boyfriend pulling some crazy stunt like this when could be at home with Nora safe in my arms." I told him.

"I can protect you. I can protect both you and Nora—and I'm being serious—I'll prove it to you." Gabe started taking of his clothes.

"Whoa! Keep you clothes on!" I said shielding my eyes.

"It's the only way I can do this without ripping my clothes to shreds. I do this all the time." He told me.

"Okay you got me! This is all some big joke...now let's go."

"Chloe turn back around and look at me." Gabe said.

"I don't wanna see you naked." I shook my head...actually I would...but not like this.

"Chloe just turn around and look—"

"Okay I'm facing you and no i'm not looking down." I said looking him right in the eye knowing that if I do look down I'm gonna be looking at something I don't want to look at.

"Relax. It's not as bad as you think. Just stay right here." Gabe started backing away while I just stood there and watched.

I watched him carefully as he stood a good ten feet away from me...for one second he was Gabriel Avanaco, my boyfriend and then the next...he was some abnormally huge ass wolf with it's face only a couple of feet away from my face.

WHAT THE HELL?

I'm not sure what to do right now but I don't have that many options. It—I mean he—or whatever it is—it's the size of a horse.

"Oh my God." I whispered under my breath.

The wolf made it's way towards me and I made my way away from it.

This isn't my boyfriend...this isn't my boyfriend...this isn't my boyfriend.

I looked into his eyes only to see the familiar brown eyes that I look into everyday. Gabe's eyes.

At first I was fine...then I got scared. I got really scared.

"G-G-Gabe?" I stuttered.

The wolf took another step towards me and then I ran for it. I ran as fast as I possibly could—away from him. I had to get out of here.

"Don't look back. Don't look back. Don't look back." I told myself as I continued to run.

So my boyfriend is a werewolf. That's normal right? For the past four months I've been going out with this guy. I let him hold me and kiss me and come into my parents house and be around me daughter.

"Chloe wait!" I heard him yell from behind me.

He must have changed back.

"Chloe—"

"Stay away from me!" I yelled.

"Chloe please!. I'm not gonna hurt you. You know I never would."

I completely tried to ignore him to the best of my ability. Right now I don't want to hear his voice. I don't even wanna see his face. I just wanna get home to my baby.

Once again I've been played for a fool.

I'm so stupid.

It just makes me wanna cry.

I ran all the way back to Gabe's house so I could get all my stuff and get out of here before Gabe could catch up with me.

I was in so much of a hurry I dropped my phone, the back of it came off and now I was shuffling to pick up all the pieces and put my phone back together.

"Chloe." He showed up out of no where and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Don't touch me!" I jerked away.

"There's nothing to be afraid of—"

"Bullshit Gabe! You turn in a monster." I yelled.

"Believe me I'm not the only one." He said.

"So there's more?" I asked him.

"Me, Brady, Quil, Embry, Jacob, Mateo, Sam, Collin, Paul, Jared, Seth, my brother Kyle—"

"Alright I get it. So you and all the other Quileute turn into wolves? What about Ella and Lucy and Kim —" I began to say before he cut me off.

"They know. They've known for quite sometime." He explained.

"So a bunch of my friends have abnormal human werewolves or whatever—I mean how come no one told me this sooner?" This just too much for me.

"It's because I'm supposed to tell you. I can't help it. It's something we're all born with and it's because of the vampires—"

"Oh they're vampires too! Great! My life is slowly turning into some sick and twisted fairy tale." I said with sarcasm.

"We're not dangerous—well when we first phase we are for a while but we get used to it. But there are vampires all over the place—a-a-and I've been like this since I was sixteen. A lot of us became wolves around that age. But it's safe. I'm still the same old Gabe."

"Anything else you wanna tell me before I lose my mind?" I asked him.

"Actually—"

"Oh my God there's more." I groaned.

"I know this might sound crazy but as wolves we all have this thing called imprinting and it's our way of finding our soulmates. We have no choice over who it is. We just see them and boom—it happens."

"So you look into a girls eyes and just like that? You're destined to be with her for the rest of your life?" I asked him.

"Yea. You pretty much said it all." He nodded.

"O...kay." I paused. "Well I'm leaving." I started to make my way out the door when he stopped me again.

"I imprinted on you."

"Yea and this just keeps getting weirder and weirder." I rolled my eyes.

"No. The first time I saw you I hadn't phased for the first time yet and it all happened right after you left Ella's when you came up here during winter break to visit her. Then when you moved up here during the summer and I saw you for the first time in two years—it just happened. One look and I just knew. I imprinted on you. We're each others perfect matches in every way possible."

"So it's like some supernatural force has forced you into loving me?" I asked on the verge of tears.

So I've been being used too? Could this get any better.

"No no no Chloe. It's fate. We're meant to be. I love you I really do. I would do anything for you—"

"YOU'RE LYING!" I screamed.

"I would never lie to you." Gabe told me.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Gabe. I'm your boyfriend. He said.

"No you're not—it's like I don't even know who you are. You've been lying to me this whole time. You're not Gabe, my boyfriend...you're Gabe the werewolf who's been messing with my emotions and has been forced into loving me. I trusted you and let you come into my parents house. I let you be around my daughter—my baby! You're just like him. You're just like Cody—I mean you lie to my face and tell me you love me and then there you go, I see the real you and suddenly I don't know you anymore." I cried.

"Chloe—"

"No! You know what just forget it. I can't do this. So while you're at just forget me and my daughter and everything we had because I'm not gonna go through this again. I'm not gonna let my daughter suffer twice because her mother ended up making the same mistake twice. I'm done—no we're done." I shook my head.

"Chloe don't do this." Gabe pleaded.

"Just stay away from us!" I yelled before walking out in the pouring rain to my car.

"Chloe wait!" He ran after to me.

"Get away from me!" I told him.

"Chloe please. It's not what you think. I love you. I love you and Nora so much. I'm begging you please try and understand—you have no idea how much you mean to me—marry me—yes...Chloe marry me." Gabe said.

"Bye Gabe." I got into my car and stepped on the pedal and drove off.

I can't believe this is happening to me.

I can't believe that I made the same mistake twice.

(Ella's P.O.V.)

I finally have the whole house to myself with Seth.

It's almost 11:30pm and no one's come home just yet.

Chloe's out with Gabe. My parents went out to some Jazz club in Port Angeles with Chloe's parents and then my little sister Meg is having a sleepover at her friends house.

What's nice is that I kiss my boyfriend on the couch all I want without anyone trying to interrupt me.

"So you ready for our spring break trip to New York." Seth asked before kissing me again.

"The city lights, the food, the shopping, the Broadway shows and all the people...oh please. I've been to New York several times. It's nothing new...only this time it's gonna be a trip worth remembering because it's just gonna be the two of us on our own for six days...it doesn't get any better than that." I smiled before kissing him again.

"God I love you." Seth smiled.

I laid down right on top of him so we were face to face. "I love you too." I sighed.

"I love you more—"

"I love you most! Ha! Beat that" I teased.

"Ella May Rose...you make my day." Seth told me.

"Oh just kiss me already." I demanded.

"Yes ma'am."

We were at it again. Making out on the couch :).

Ohhhh yea.

Right when I leaned in to kiss him again. The front door swung open and I literally fell off the couch because it scared me.

At first I thought it was my parents...but to my lucky it was Chloe...and was soaking wet head to toe and she looked really pissed off.

She must have been out in the rain for a while to get that drenched in water.

"Jeez Chloe! Don't tell me you walked here from Gabe's house." I said.

"Oh no—I got dragged into the middle of a freaking forest to find out that my boyfriend is a freaking werewolf!" She yelled.

Uh oh...it didn't go well.

"The worst part is that you and Lucy and Belinda—"

"Belinda doesn't know that Mateo's a wolf yet so don't tell her. He's supposed to tell her." I said.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked.

"Because I'm not supposed to tell you. Gabe is supposed to tell you cause he's the one that—"

"Imprinted on me—yes—I know. He told me everything." Chloe snapped.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"No I am not okay because as my BEST FRIEND it's your job not to keep shit like this from me because NEWS FLASH—I have a baby and I'm doing everything I can to keep that little girl safe and away from danger and this whole time it all comes down to having my boyfriend tell me that he and Seth and bunch of other guys turn in abnormally large wolves and kill vampires—"

"Chloe please," I tried to tell her.

"No! You and everyone else may be okay with this but I'm not— and being okay with this makes me feel like even more of a shitty mother—not to mention that I just broke up with Gabe—I'll pass." She snapped at me.

"Come on Chloe, she had no choice. It wasn't her secret to tell." Seth yelled as Chloe stomped upstairs.

"Well next time maybe all of you will think twice when it comes it keeping stuff like this from me because my daughter Elenore is my main priority and she will always come first!" Chloe yelled even louder this time before she ran up to her room and slammed the door.

"Why do I suddenly feel like a shitty best friend?" I turned around to ask my boyfriend.

"You're not." He told me.

Instead of answering my question, Seth just grabbed my hand and pulled me outside in which I stopped him so I could put on my shoes before we went out the door.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"My house. So she could have some time to herself. It's not raining anymore. So we can walk over there."

"Okay." I shrugged.

I forgot how quiet it can be a night when the wolves aren't out.

"I should have known this was gonna happen." I shook my head.

"Don't blame yourself for this. It's not your fault. But we learn to be patient with this stuff. Chloe will come around. It might take a little longer but Gabe will get through it." He assured me.

"Well he better have a lot of patience with her cause Chloe really knows how to take her time." I said.

"They'll be fine." Seth reassured me.
