* I know, I know. "You didn't update yesterday! Whyyyyyy!? :( " I had already explained and warned you guys that there would be days where I would "be super busy and all I want to do is go straight to bed and sleep." I'm not sure which Chapter I posted it on, but feel free to go back and read it instead of saying, "Noooo! You never said that!" Anyways, I am back today... but I will have to go and be busy today. I was planning on updating as much as I could today, but I might just only have time for one update. But at least it's better than nothing, right?
Jared
"Kim!" I shouted, as I drove closer. Hopefully she didn't think that I was some creep. But then again, I did happen to find out that she was walking home because she didn't have a car, and just happened to be there at the perfect time.
Kim turned around, shocked. She glanced at the car, then at me, and then back at the car again. It was almost like she had believed that I would disappear any moment, like she was daydreaming and believed that it was too good to be true. She glanced around, like she thought I was talking to someone else that was also named Kim-but she was the only person there.
"J-Jared?" She managed to speak, unsure of herself. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to give you a ride, Kim." I answered. "I mean, I was just driving by and I saw you walking. I just thought that maybe you would like a ride instead of having to walk home from school."
"Oh. Uh…thanks." She said. She glanced at the car one last time, before she got into the passenger seat and closed the door. "You know, Jared. You really didn't have to do this. I wouldn't have minded walking home, you know."
"Trust me, I did." I said quietly, before I had even realized what I had said. "It's no problem, really, Kim." I added quickly, before she could notice.
Honestly, I did have to give her a ride. When I had heard that her friend had gotten detention and wouldn't be able to drive Kim home, a ton of bad scenarios had went on in my mind. I was so sure that I was going to have a heart attack right then and there, when I had found out.
Seriously, doesn't she know better than to let Kim walk home by herself? Sure, there's the pack-the three of us-that's supposed to go around protecting people. But La Push isn't safe when the others could phase any moment! One of them could have accidentally hurt Kim! Something bad could have happened to her! What if something bad had happened to her before I could get to her in time?
"Jared, are you okay?" Kim asked calmly, but she looked at me, panicked. I realized I had tightened my grip on the steering wheel. I slowly loosened my grip when I realized that she was still here, beside me-safe. "You're starting to shake again, like the way you did earlier."
