Chapter 32
Kim's point of view
So Kayla ended up asking Matthew out the next day and he said yes so now Carlie and I are helping her get ready for the date. Her parents are at some work dinner and the twins are at a sleepover. Kayla and Matthew are going out for dinner and a movie. She's wearing gray jean capris, black flats, and a black tank top since it's not cold out. I straighten her hair while Carlie puts on some make up.
"Do you think Matt will like it?" Kayla asks nervous.
"Oh so you're calling him Matt now?" I ask with a raised eyebrow as she blushes.
"Ya. He calls me Kay." she says and we smile.
"He'll be drooling when he sees you." Carlie says.
"Totally." I say and she smiles. Kayla's phone rings and she picks it up.
"Hey Matt. Oh. Oh no that's okay I understand. Ya bye." she says sadly and hangs up. She pushes our hands away and runs to her bed. She jumps onto it and buries her face into her pillow. I hear soft crying coming from her. Carlie and I share a sad expression before hurrying over to Kayla.
"Kayla sweetheart what's wrong?" I ask rubbing her back.
"That was Matt." she says looking at us. Her makeup is smeared and coming off. "He...he said he's sick and can't come on the date." she cries.
"Oh Kayla." I say and pull her into my arms. She cries into my chest while I rub her back. Carlie does the same as me. Jared opens the door and his face softens when he sees his sister crying.
"Wha.." he starts but I shut him up. I shake my head telling him not now. He mouths Matthew and I nod my head. He starts to shake but I shake my head. I hand Kayla over to Carlie and bring Jared out to the hallway. "What'd that jerk do to my sister?" he growls.
"He called saying he's sick and can't go out tonight." I say and he growls.
"Easy tiger." I say.
"He lied to my sister, he's dead." he says turning to the stairs.
"Jared just wait a minute I say grabbing his arm.
"What?" he asks.
"Maybe he really is sick. Matthew doesn't seem the the kind of person to lie." I say and he sighs.
"I'm going to go over to his house and scope it out." he says and I give him a look. "As a wolf and listen to see if he really is sick." he says.
"Alright but don't you hurt that boy." I say.
"I won't." he says. I kiss him and then head back inside to Kayla and Carlie.
After ten minutes of comforting Kayla she stops crying. I put in her favorite movie and decide to pop some popcorn for her. Carlie leaves but tells me to call her when I find out about Matthew. When I am putting the popcorn in a bowl I hear a howl. My eyes widen and I run out of the backdoor. I phase quickly and find that Jared's talking to a new wolf.
"Who is it?" I ask.
"Matthew." he says and my eyes widen.
"What?!" I yell.
"He really was sick." he says.
"Well at least we know he wasn't lying." I say.
"I would never lie to Kayla." Matthew pipes up.
"I know you wouldn't." I say.
"I really like her." he says and I smile while Jared growls.
"Jared control yourself and be nice." I say. Two more howls break out as two new voices join us.
"WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!" they yell.
"Calm down and tell us your names." I say.
"I'm Brady Fuller." one says.
"Collin Littlesea." the other says.
"Collin you're Jake's cousin and Brady you're Seth and Leah's cousin right?" I ask.
"Yes." they say.
"Hold on." I say. I take a deep breath and howl for Jake, Seth, and Leah. We each have our own howls.
"What's up Kim?" Seth asks.
"Please tell me it's not about Bella." Leah begs.
"What now Kim?" Jake whines.
"We have three newbies." I say.
"Brady?" Seth asks.
"Seth is that you?" Brady asks hesitantly.
"Yep. Cool right?" Seth asks as he arrives with Leah and Jake.
"I guess. Well what is this exactly?" Brady asks.
"Leah and Seth will explain it to you while Jake tells Collin. And Matthew Jared will help you." I say.
"Alright." they say.
"I have to go but call if you need anything." I say and head back to Kayla.
"Please tell her I really am sick and will take her out when I'm better!" Matthew calls after me.
"I will." I say as I reach the house. I phase back and change. I go back into the kitchen and find the popcorn still there. I grab it and run upstairs. Kayla's in the same position I left her in. "Here ya go Kayla." I say handing her the bowl.
"Thanks Kim." she says taking it. I sit next to her and pause the movie.
"I wanted to tell you that I talked with Matthew's mom and he's been sick all week. He didn't tell you because he figured he'd be better by tonight but he wasn't. He's just as upset about missing the date as you are." I say and she smiles a little.
"I feel bad that he's sick." she says.
"Maybe I could bring him some soup tomorrow or something." she says.
"Um you should probably stay away from him right now." I say. He could hurt her if he's angry.
"Why?" she asks. "He is really sick and could be contagious." I say.
"Oh. Then I'll call him tomorrow." she says.
"Good idea." I say and turn to movie back on. I lay with her and watch the movie waiting for Jared to return which won't be for hours since he's helping Matthew.
Jared's point of view
Well now I now that Matthew isn't a jerk and isn't lying to my sister. But now I have to worry about if he's going to imprint on my sister. And if goes anywhere near her he could hurt her since he's brand new. He doesn't seem like a bad guy but Kayla's my little sister and I don't like anyone she likes. I know she's not so little anymore but she'll always be my little sister. Matthew and Collin decided to tell their parents about being wolves but Brady decided to keep it from his since they'd freak out. Collin's won't since he's apart of the Black family and they know about the wolves. Matthew doesn't think his parents will freak because they strongly believe in the legends. When I finally head home it's midnight and I'm exhausted. Mom and dad are already asleep and so is Kayla. I drag myself into my room and find Kim sleeping in my bed. I smile at the sight and crawl in next to her.
"Missed you." she mumbles cuddling up to me.
"Missed you too." I say kissing her head.
"How are they?" she asks.
"Fine." I say.
"Good." she says.
"Night angel." I say.
"Night Jare." she sighs and falls back asleep.
