Kiss me if you Dare by Anna S. (most read books in the world of all time TXT) 📖

is wrong with you? Why are you throwing all your books out of your shell?” She walks over and grabs me as I stop smashing my books out of my shell. I looked at her, my eyes in tears. I pulled my hand forward showing a picture of mom, dad, me and Catherin I pulled out. I looked at it sitting down onto my bed.

            “I need mom and dad back.” I cried.

            “Oh, Else. I know I need them back too.” She hugs me.

            “Do you know how hard it is to have kids in my school be so close to their family and my only family is you?” I looked down at the picture.

            “Hey, look at me.” She pulled my chin up. “We have each other, and I know mom and dad would be happy that were together and happy and that were closer then ever.”

            I smiled then looked down at my parents’ picture. I usually intend to have these break down when I missed my parents the most.

            “Thanks. I’m pretty calm down now.” I say quietly.

            “Anytime.” She smiles. “Don’t worry about it okay?”

            “Okay.” She gets up and walks towards the door and looks at the room.

            “Hey. Clean this mess.” She pointed towards the books on the floor.

            I chuckle and nod as she shut the door. I picked up each book by book and placed them on the shell.

            Later that night I lay my head against my pillow and as I was closing my eyes when the doorbell rang. I pulled my head up and then walked towards the door.

            “Hey! I brought movies!” Lucy smiled holding a bag of movies and popcorn on one hand. She was dressed in pink tinkle bell pajamas. “C’mon. It’s Friday night and its girl’s night in. Plus we have not done this in awhile and I miss it!”

            “Weren’t you going out with that Mike, Jeff? Whatever his name is.”

            She chuckles. “That’s tomorrow silly. Now let me in I’m freezing and I already told my mom I’m spending the night here.” She gets in and starts to walk towards the kitchen. “I’m making popcorn for us and you can put the movie on in your room?”

            “Yea, sure.” I laugh looking at her both ponytails as her bangs fell nicely over her eyes.

            I walked up the room and turned the light on. I picked to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I let the trailers pass when Lucy walks in with a bowl of popcorns, two empty cups and a soda bottle under her arm. I reached out and took the soda from under her arm and helped her with the cups. I poured the soda into the cups as we both sat on the bed with the popcorn in between us.

            “This is a good movie.” She says eating.

            “I never watched this one.” I tell her.

            “You did not?” She looks over at me in surprise. “It’s like the best movie ever!” She giggles.

            “I watched the other ones though.” I laughed.

            “Remember in our freshman year when you, Connor and I tried to bake cupcakes for our class electives in history and we blew up the oven and made a huge mess in the kitchen?” She says chuckling.

            “Yes, I do. Then Catherin got so mad that day she made us walk dogs to get money for a new oven.”

            “That took us the rest of our freshman year to get at least three thousand and…”

            “And she felt bad so she let us slide that one.” We both laughed at the memory.

 

            Later that night we finished watching Harry Potter. Lucy fell asleep right after I cleaned the mess and put everything away before I actually fell asleep. The next day came Lucy left around noon, after lunch. Her boss called her in for work and she left promising me she would tell me how her date with Jeff that night was.

 Catherin left for some coffee with some guy she met at work. I stayed home and ended up cleaning the house before knocking out on the couch.

            The tapping against my window shield woke me up. I looked over seeing nothing but darkness. I looked around as I head the wind pounded harshly against my window. I sat up on the couch as I felt my phone vibrated inside the back pocket of my jeans. Connor’s caller ID showed up.

            “Hey.” I answered.

            “Hey! So it’s about to be seven and I’m not doing anything right now. Do you want to head up the Carnival near the beach?” He asked. “People are calling me to go. It’s gonna be good. Were all going there for a little bit if you want to come?”

            “Uh. Yea sure.”  I responded.

            “Do you want me to pick you up? Or …”
            “I’ll meet you up there?” I suggested nicely.

            “Yea. That’s fine.” He paused. “I’ll text you the address.”

            “Sure.” I tell him.  

            I picked up Catherin’s car keys. She drove her work car with some friends to some party at someone’s house. Who knows when she’ll be home? I don’t plan to stay out that long either. I picked up my jack near the stairs and closed the door behind me. I drove silently in the car. When I reached the carnival I caught Connor sitting against a black truck drinking with some of guys from the football team. I got out of my car and slowly I walked towards him. He smiled at the sight of me, picked up another cup and walked towards me.

            “We were just waiting for you.” He says handling me the cup of beer.

            “Thanks.” I smiled picking up the cup taking a sip. I do sometimes miss hanging out with these kinds of people. Brings back memories from when I was a freshman.

            “Hey, Connor. You got a pretty lady there.” Jordan said, he was one of the football players. He got every girl he wanted and every girl were crazy to be with him.

            “Right.” He looks at me. “We can play some games.”

            “Yea. Sure.” I agreed. We walked to a basketball shooting point game. Connor paid for me and for him.

            I started the game. I shot the first five points. Connor nodded and smile when I missed two or three after. I finished the game with 36 points as my final score.

            “Not bad. Let me try.” He smirked. I smiled pulling my hair behind my ears. When I looked over Seth was standing there looking at some of the games being played. He looked up as his eyes caught with mine. I looked down and then up again. He looked away and walked the other direction.

            “Excuse me. I’ll be right back.” I turn to Connor. He nods and continued with his game. I walked forward looking for Seth. When I reach near the woods, Jordan appears in front of me.

“Hey.” He smiles as I can smell the alcohol coming from him.

“Hey.” I answered still searching for Seth.

“I can’t believe Connor left you all alone.” He sighs looking down at me.  

“He didn’t leave me.” I answered back. Jordan came closer, pulled his hand upon my cheeks and brushed his fingers lightly against them.

“Shhh.” He says. “I won’t leave you alone.” He moved forward trying to kiss me. I pulled away.

“Uh you’re drunk.” I say pulling him away. He pulls me towards the woods as he pushes me against a tree bark and begins to place his hands on me.

“I want you.” He whispers.

“You’re drunk. Back away, Jordan.” I say a little louder this time hoping he takes the hint, but he doesn’t. I could hurt this kid in a matter of seconds but instead I stand there waiting for him to back away. I don’t have my powers under control today as I forgot to drink my SIC today. If I use my powers against him, I could really hurt him.

“Don’t you want me too, princess? Every girl wants a piece of this. It’s your lucky night take advantage of it, wont you?” He leans kissing my neck and I can’t seem to be stronger than him right now.

“Jordan, back away.” I say louder. He kisses my neck again and again, and then when I closed my eyes, it seemed as if he wasn’t there anymore.

When I opened my eyes Jordan was on the floor, his hand over his mouth, a male stood in front of his body. I gasped as I saw blood dripping from his nose and mouth. I walked closer to see the stranger that stood in front of me.

            “Keep away.” Seth’s voice sounded harsh as he responds in between breaths.

            “Please, Man.” Jordan pleaded.

            “Seth?” I say moving forward.

            “Please. Get away.” His voice sounded like a growl.

            “Seth, Leave him alone!” I shout. He turned around. His face seemed fuller, his eye brows thicker. I looked at his hands, they were furry and like looked like claws instead of hands. I gasped pulling my hand over my mouth.

            “What happened to you?” I asked as Jordan gets up and runs towards the carnival.

            “Elsa, I can explain.” He says as his facial hair begins to disappear.    

            “No… You can’t.” I cried.

            He came closer. “I’m not what you think am.”

            “Then what are you?” I back away.

            “Elsa, Please.” He emphasizes forming himself back to human.

            I cried and backed away rushing out of the woods. I found Connor by the car games and told him about Jordan. Connor tries to find Jordan as I rushed to my car and make my way back home. On my way home, I cried feeling the anger rush in my veins. How could he? I ask myself feeling betrayed. He lied to me.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

{Chapter 9}

 

 I lay down on top of my roof in front of my window. My eyes towards the sky, I watched the stars and the brightness of the full moon. While watching the stars, I always wondered about the universe. Wondered what the stars looked like from space. Were they like rocks flowing into midair? Or were they as bright as they shine upon the sky? When I was a little girl, I loved staring at the stars by myself. It was my only private little space to think whenever I wanted too. No one understood why I really did that, but for me it seemed to relax me. It made me stronger when I was weak, and it made smile when I was sad. Stars are the prefect part of the earth, and some people don’t seem to notice the beauty of it.

            I looked at the sky as I heard something collapse against the roof. I stood up quickly holding my hand up prepared for a fight.

            “Else.” A figure came from behind the shadow. “It’s me Seth.”

            I sigh as I walked into my room when he grabbed my arm.

            “Let me explain, please.” He looks into my eyes.

            I roll my eyes and pulls his hand away from my arm.  

            “Please.” He pleads. I looked at him and then waved him inside my room.

            I walked up to my bed and sat on top of it crossing my arms against my chest. Seth closed the window, so the wind wouldn’t blow in.

            “I am a werewolf.” He blurs out. “I promise you, I’d never wanted to hurt you.”

            “Then why did you do what you did?” I asked.

            “I was protecting you.”

            “I can protect myself.” I growled.

            “It didn’t look it.” He stops himself.

            I looked up at him surprised.

            “Look, what I mean is that, this isn’t something I can control. I needed to stay away from you…” He pauses. “But I can’t. I can’t stay away from you, even if I tried.”

            I breath out looking over at him getting up. When I reached him,
