In The Dark by Isabella O'Brien (books to read for teens .txt) 📖

 The car he had was a black truck it looks like the paint has been chipped off. I didn't understand if he had so much money and so much wealth why he drove such an old beat-up car. I close the door when the door slammed shut it sounded like I was going to rip it off its hinges. The old bucket of bolts made it all the way to school surprisingly. Me and him ran inside to just make it by the Bell. "I'll see you in between classes meet me at my locker." He said more of a question then statement. I run to the science room as fast as I could. 

Class dragged on and seems like it would never end. All I could think about was last night. I couldn't get Jay out of my head. His muscles and how he grabed me in the woods. How I felt sparks or warmth and passion by his touch. How he was such a gentleman and gave up his bed for me. How all these thoughts came to my mind now in science and not as they were happening. What the fuck is wrong with me. I tried to clear my head and listen to the lesson.

After class ended I couldn't wait to go to his locker and see Jay. I felt so lost with out him. What is wrong with me. Only a day with him and you're thinking of him so much. And like he had said he was there. I looked at him up and down not noticing this morning how his shirt so tight I could see his abs, the sleeves and how they cut off to show his strong arms. My mouth was watering just looking at him but I couldn't let him see me flustered. "You like what you see?" He said so full of himself not even looking at me. "No! Why aren't you so vain and cocky." I said. I could feel my cheeks turning bright red. "You don't have to blush over me darlin. If you honestly wanted me all you would have to do is ask." He said with a smirk on his face. My cheeks begin to glow bright crimson. 'Want him? What a fucken ego I never knew had. Could you read my mind? Was this one of his werewolf tricks?' I thought. I began to think of past secrets only I would know. But he seemed like he didn't pick up on anything. Maybe you couldn't read my mind. Maybe my red rosy cheeks betrayed me and gave away all my secrets. "Oh you act so sure of yourself." I smiled trying to hid my thoughts from being exposed. The bell rang and suddenly the holes became empty leaving me and him standing alone.

How to look me up and down. Caressing my body with his eyes. I looked away hoping he did not see me notice. I felt a hand on my chin. He pulled my face to look at him. Our eyes met and I saw passion and desire in his dark eyes. As I was looking they turned a bright glowing blue. " I ment what I said Rosalina, if you want me all you have to do is say." his words seem so serious and seductive. I didn't know say. I pulled my face away. "I'll talk to you later." I said rushing to get out of there. 

 I was relieved that the day will soon be over as I headed to lunch I felt someone grab my arm. For a second I thought... I'd hoped it was Jay. When I Look to see who grabbed my arm I wasn't too disappointed to see Jessie at the other end. "Tonight me and you are going to a party." I smiled at her thought. Considering it was Friday and I had nothing better to do and no car to go home with I thought why not. "A party sounds just like what I need." I said smiling at her. "Great. I'm throwing it and you can spend the night because I am getting you so trashed." She said with joy and excitement in her voice. I couldn't control my laughter. I wasnt much of a drinker but giving what I've been through and Adam giving such bad anxiety a drink or two sounds heavenly. 

I found myself at Jesse's house. See through tons and tons of clothes on me asking me 'which one I like best for her which one looks best on me.' I helped her set up for the party laying out and drinks and chips and pizza for her waiting guests. She done me all up in makeup and hairspray. I do not remember the last time I looked so dolled up. As people started to fill in the more drinks I would down. "Do you want to dance?" A voice said behind me. I turned to face a man I had never met before. He looked older maybe hes a collage student I thought but my drunk self went with him. Dancing with him began to sober me up quickly I didn't realise how much his touch began to bother me. He put his hands on my ass and began to squeez. I pulled away to his stuned face. "Its a party what did you expect?" He said in a slimmy vulgar voice that made my stomach turn. "Umm how bout you not act like a pig!" I said as my blood started to boil in anger. "What ever fuck you bitch." he said as he spat on me. I could feel an arm pull me through the krowd. "Why don't you apologize and get the fuck out of this party!" I heard a familiar voice scream. It was Adam. "No, I think you and your little bitch should have a couple more drinks and losen up." the slim ball said as he took his beer and poured it on Jays shoes. Out of now where I seen Jay grab him by his collar of his shirt. Then I see the guy gets thrown across the room and hit the speaker sending the music to stop. I seen Jesse's worried eyes. Just as Jesse came over to me and Jay she had to large guys escort the college man that I have been dancing with out of the house. Next thing I knew I was being pulled down a long hallway into what looked to be Jesse's brother's room.

Jay looked me up and down. "Are you ok did that dick hurt you?" He said with fire in his eyes that I have never seen before. "I'm fine are you?" I asked shocked how easily it was for Jay to throw the other guy across the room. "Are you still drunk?" Jay asked avoiding my question. "No I'm fine now." I said my voice trailing off as he bluntly interrupted me. "Good grab your things I'm taking you home." 

I stood there in shock. How dare he think that he can just rip me away from party because one guy ruined it. I came to this party to try to escape him. But yet at the same time I wanted to go with him. I started to protest. Before second I agreed with him maybe it was best that I leave now the party was starting to get too insane.

The whole drive home the fire in his eyes never seem to fade. "How could that prick say that shit to you? Treat you like that what a disrespected piece of trash." I could feel his anger increasing. I tried to calm him and change the subject. "How did you hear him?" I asked already knowing the answer to that. "I heard him." he said with anger still in his voice. I put my hand on his to try to sooth the beast with in him. When I toached his hand I could see his eyes glowing bright. 

 

 

We pulled outside of my house the nightmare was cold and crisp. I could tell from the weather that snow was just about to fall. I did not want to let go of Jays hand and I could tell he felt the same. "Do you want to come in? I can make you something to eat and we can watch movies?" I asked but the truth was I didn't want to be left alone. He nodded. We got up to my door and I took out my keys. My house look dark and empty."Is there no one home?" He asked. "I live on my own my mom lives out in the city."  I said realizing how sad that was. I opened my door to my amazing new home. I still couldn't believe it was all mine. I turned on the tv and threw my keys on the counter. I then made my way to the kitchen. I opened up my fridge and asked him if you wanted something to drink. He shook his head, obviously he was still mad about what had happened at the party. I reached in my fridge and pulled out a cream soda and cracked it open.

"So tell me whats the deal with the whole werewolf thing?" Not sure if I crossed a boundary of some sort.

"Its not that complicated. It's not like I change on every full moon. It's not really that painful. I guess we can change whenever we want to. My eyes glow blue whenever I'm feeling a strong emotion. The only thing about the full moon that's true is the closer it comes to a full moon the stronger I am and I heal faster then the normal person." He said like he rehearsed it.

"So how does one become a werewolf?" I asked curiously.

" Why you're not open to come on right?" 

"No I'm just curious I want to know. Weee you born like this or did you change?" I started to feel like I was asking too many questions.

" My family has a bloodline but it didn't take effect till after 12." he said as me and him made our way to the couch. We ended up talking the hole night. It wasn't until me and him saw the sun come up till we realized it was way past bedtime. I started to yawn and layed my head down on his chest and fall asleep.
