Melanie and I walked in the school building together and some people stared at us. Everyone knew what happened Saturday and I wanted to go and hide. I hated the pity looks on their faces and all I wanted to do was smack it off and tell them to leave me alone.

"I haven't spoken to Jason since Saturday night.", Melanie said with a heavy sigh. "He's been calling me and I'm to much of a chicken to answer. I thought he'll leave me alone after.",

"Do you want that?", I asked.

She sighed again and shrugged, "I don't know, Jesse. I like him so much, but it feels...I don't know, awkward. I was kind of crying during it and every time he tried to get off me, I kept pushing him back in. I was kind of being...pushy. I didn't miss the uncomfortable look on his face, though. Oh god, he thinks I'm lousy now! Oh my God, the whole school going to know-",

I went in front of her and put my hands on her shoulders, "Mel, calm down! I very much doubt that. If he didn't want anything to do with you, he wouldn't be trying to call you.",

She nodded quickly, "Your-your right. I'll just talk to him and get the awkward tension behind."

I nodded and went back next to her as we continued walking to the sophomore hallway. I couldn't stop myself from thinking of Kaden. I sighed lowly to myself. He litary stayed outside my house all night until he mom made him come back this morning. I watched out the window as he went back.

I still can't believe this; my best friend for almost ten years is not who I thought he was. He was a freaking wolf! I still can't believe that's possible, but I do. I know he is. Now I understand why he was out that week, crying in pain that one day, and why'd he seem to go so much bigger. I seen movies like those like New Moon and damn, my best friend a werewolf! That doesn't make me Bella, right?

Nah, vampires aren't real...I hope.

I couldn't stop myself from looking around the lunch room for Kaden. He was over with his friends, but he looked depressed and twirled his phone around. I felt bad, but I couldn't be around him right now.

I'm to scared.

I'm worried I might give into him and hurt Logan more. I like Logan, very much.

Kaden looked up and I quickly looked back down at my lemonade, feeling my cheeks blush up. Damn, this is going to be so hard.

I moved my eyes to looked over where he was and he was still looking my way. I moved my hair in front of my face a little so I could slightly move it to get a better look. He looked tired and had this apolgentic look in his eyes.

I just looked back down at my drink and sighed. I hate fighting with Kaden. He's my best friend for god sakes and it's not like I can handle being mad at him. He's bin there for me all the time, why can't I be here for him this time?

Oh right, cause I'm his freaking 'soul mate'.

That just a little crazy. I am not his soul mate and I don't care what he says. I don't belong to him.

Next day.

After school, Melanie and I walked out of the building and I saw Jason over at his car. He was sitting on the hood with his feet on the bumpers as he texted on his phone. I looked at Melanie and saw her biting down on her lowering lips as her hands played nervously together.

I raised an eyebrow, "Are you going to talk to him or chicken out again?",

She licked her lips quickly, "I'm-I'm going to talk to him. I can't avoid him forever.",

"Yeah, you can't.",

She glared at me, "You got room to talk, Jesse. You still wont tell me why your avoiding Kaden.",

I bit the right side of my lower lip, "I know, your right. Sorry."

She sighed heavily again,"Just wait here for me until I'm done?", she asked.

I gave her a small smile and nodded, "Sure, but don't make it to long. I have to get home and then go see Logan.",

She nodded, "Okay. Wish me luck.". I told her good luck and she hesitated, but finally moved her butt and went over to Jason. He didn't notice her until she was a few feet away and he put his phone away and she started talking.

Suddenly, I felt something painful hit my back and I fell forward, landing on my knees then chest with a thump. I hissed in pain since I was wearing ripped jeans and my right knee was bare and I hit it roughly.

A moment later, I felt familiar hands grab my waist and lift me up easily.

"Are you okay?", Kaden asked. He shot a look a freshmen and the freshman jerk, "Watch it, niner.", he said. He bent down and picked the football up. He threw it at him and it landed right in the guy somach roughly that he bent over as he grabbed the football and his hard breath came out hard. The kid dropped on his knees and groaned.

I gasped and my eyes widen. I pushed myself away from Kaden and went over to the guy bent down, "Are you okay?",

He nodded hesitantly, "Yea-yeah, I'm good.",

I looked back up at Kaden and winced as I glared at him. I can't believe he did that. I'm sure the guy just did it on accident and Kaden didn't have to do that. Sure, my back is hurting like hell, but still.

Kaden rolled his eyes and walked away angrily.

I asked the guy if he was okay one more time and helped him up. He said yeah and thanked me and went on his way with his friends. I rubbed my back with my one hand and groaned, hoping I wont have a nasty bruise there later.

I saw Melanie smile at Jason and he smiled back her. She stepped forward, filling the space between them and kissed him, wrapping her arms around him. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

I'll admit, I felt jealous of the scene. It made me want Logan here so I could kiss and be all lovey dovie with him. I'm happy for Melanie, but ugh! I hated how her relationship was so natural and not hard. She has no problems and i'm having boy trouble.

Next night.

My dad and Joe laughed about something, but I was barely paying attention. It was another night that the Brooks came over for dinner. I tried my best just to keep my eyes focused on my dinner and not making eye contact with Kaden, who was across from me.

I could feel his eyes on me sometimes, but I ignored him. Joe tried to make conversation with me, but I would say a few words and continued eating. I was trying to eat fast so I could get out of here, but I wasn't really hungry.

"So Kaden," my mom said. "Have you put college apps in yet? Don't you want to go to Yale?", she asked. I felt my chest squeeze up in pain, the thought of him leaving. Sure, I'm mad at him right now, but I can't help not standing the thought of him leaving here.

Kaden cleared his throat, "Yeah, I have. I should know in a couple of months if I got in or not.",

"Are you excited?", she asked and I just wanted her to shut up cause I can feel I'm on the verge of tears. "Yale a good school to get into. You'll sure make a certain girl happy one day.",

Now I really wanted her to shut up.

"Well, I hope so.", he said.

"I'm sure you will. You just got to find the right one. The one who wont use you only for your looks and money. Kind of like Jesse.", she said and I started coughing on piece of chicken when it stop mid way in my throat. My mom started patting my back until I swallowed it, "You okay, dear?",

I felt my cheeks heat up, "Y-yeah. Um, can I be excused? I'm not really hungry.",

My dad put his hands on my forehead, "Are you feeling okay?",

I moved his hand, "Yeah, just tired.". I kissed my mom cheek and grabbed my plate as I got up, "It was good, though.", I told her.

Next morning.

I saw everyone crowd around someone in front of the building and I made my way over to the crowd. I saw they were all talking to Logan at once about his leg. I made my way threw the crowd and Logan smiled at me when he saw me.

He pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek, "Hey, I was thinking you weren't going to come today.",

I shrugged, "Eh, I was planning that.", I teased. "I think taking care of you was enough for me.",

"Oh really? That hurts, you know.", he said as people started to leaving.

I looked around the people, "Seems like everyone wants to be nosy as always.",

He chuckled, "Yeah, thank god you came. They were getting on my nerves.",

He entwined our fingers together, "So, how do you feel?", I asked as we walked into the school building. He was limping a little, so we had to take it a little slow.

"Better. The stinging in my legs are gone and the bruises around the cuts marks are finally vanishing.", he told me.

I'm still mad at Kaden for it being his fault--and kind of mine--for hurting Logan. He could have died if Kaden continued to black out!

"I have to go see the nurse about the bandage changing, but I'll see you at lunch.", he told me when we were in front of the nurses room and I nodded. I hugged him goodbye and continued on my way.

I walked up the step to the sophomore hallway. When I was hallway to my locker, I felt a hand grab me and pull me over to the janitor room. I didn't get to see who it was since I was trying my best to keep myself from falling, but I have a good idea who it could be from the strong big hand.

Kaden pulled me into the janitor room and turned on the lights. I glared at him, "What the hell, Kaden?", I hissed at him as I whispered.

"You will leave him.", he said to me in a serious voice.

My eyes widen, "Excuse me?", I questioned. "Who do you think you are?", I asked, putting my hand on the door and when I was about to open it, Kaden put his hot hand on top of mine and pressed his body against mine. I stood frozen still.

"Just listen to me for one second, Jesse.", he whispered to me, making chills go down my arm. He leaned his head down and put his nose in my hair and inhale deeply as he put one hand on each side of me, blocking me from any escape. "Have you ever been jealous whenever I gone out with another girl?",

"W-what?", I asked.

"Just answer the question.", he told me.

"N-no.",

He chuckled softly, "Liar.",

"No, I'm not.", I said, but my voice failed to come out calmly. His body felt so warm on mine and I just wanted to hug him. I'll admit, he would be a perfect teddy bear.

I hate how he's making me so nervous, that I was stuttering. I hate how easily he can tell me lies.

"Keep telling yourself that, Jesse.", he said. "But I could always see the jealous, possessive look in your eyes.", he chuckled. "I thought it was always cute, though. But now," he said, his voice getting hard and I swear, he growled. "I'm the jealous one. I don't want him near you anymore, understand? Your mine.",

Finally waking up, I put my hands on his chest and pushed him away, but only a good half feet away, "Stay away from me, Kaden. You almost killed him and now your telling me to dump him?", I whispered and hissed at him. "Like hell I will!",

He growled, "You shouldn't temp me, Jesse. I can't control my anger sometimes and if you want an five foot large wolf shifting in school, you'll let me finish.",

I jerked, but keep quiet.

"Good.", he said. "Now, like I said, you will dump Logan. I want my Bounder to myself and I'll do anything to have you.",

I scowled at him, "I am not your 'Bounder'," I said, putting air quotes around the word. "And second, I wont dump Logan. I like him, very much! You had lots of chances before, but now, you don't!",

He humorlessly chuckled, "You think I care about that past? I don't. I'm different and back then, I didn't understand. I love you, Jesse. I have always loved you, but kept the truth locked up. I wont take you being around another male anymore and his scent wash over you anymore.",

Feeling really angry, I said, "I'm leaving before the bell rings. I wont be late for class-". I began to open the door, but he slammed it closed and pressed me against the door again.

He brought his face close to mine, our lips were almost touching. He pressed his forehead against mine and I began to feel nervous again. "You shouldn't mess with a wolf, Jesse. It'll come back to bite you in the ass.",

I made a gulp sound when I saw his eyes flicker from blue to sliver, then back to blue. I'll admit, this possessiveness was kind of hot. But I don't care about that, I wont let Kaden order me like I'm some kind of child or pet!

I opened my mouth to snap at him, but he shook his head slowly, "I'll keep that pretty little mouth of your closed if I were you.",

His hand slid on my waist down to my thigh and squeezed it lightly. He finally kissed me and when I tried to pull away, he only pressed down hard on my lips. I tired to move, but he pressed his body against mine hard.

Hit him where it hurts, I thought, but I didn't do it. I couldn't bring my knee up and knee him. Not because his legs were against mine, but before I didn't like the fact of hurting him.

Finally deciding to kiss him back, I moved my lips against his. He loosen the hard kiss, but they were still against mine pretty roughly. He put his other hand behind my neck and I moaned.

Did it suddenly get hot in the janitor room? I know they don't start putting the heat on until mid-November. Maybe it's just Kaden body heat. I bit my lower lip when he moved his lips from mine to my jaw line down to my neck. I closed my mouth tightly and tried to stop the moaning that building up my throat, but you could still hear it. As if it was an urge, I leaned my head back to give him more advantage of my neck.

The school bell ranged and I jumped. It woke me up! Oh, god! What am I doing?!

Kaden roughly pecked me on the lip, "Seems like your late.", he whispered and leaned away from me with a pleased smirk on his face. As he stepped back closer to me, I moved away, but he didn't reach for me, he grabbed the door knob, "You will leave Logan.", he warningly said before leaving.

I raised my hand and I literary slapped myself in the face!

I'm so god damn stupid!, I yelled in my head. I can't believe I let Kaden do that! I did my best to avoid him and now he ruined it! And like hell I'm going to listen to him. And Mr. Morgan is totally going to give me detention.
