Friday.

Kaden lightly trailed his finger over my stomach, "Does it hurt still?", he asked. My stomach was kind of gross yellow-green-and purplish color. It was so ugly and irritating. I can't stand laying on my back all day since I tend to sleep on my right side a lot or my stomach. Every time I turn, pain would increase and it sucks more when I sleeping and I don't realize until it's to late.

I was laying down on my bed with Kaden next to me. My mom convinced my dad nothing would happen with him in here and she got him to stop butting in every five minutes and leave us alone.

"Not really if your doing that.", I told him. I couldn't look at myself in the mirror since it was more horrible then I thought and call me self centered or some big headed for worrying about my looks, but what if you looked in the mirror and saw gross bruises on your face and small cuts everywhere?

You'll feel like shit and depressed.

"Can you help me lean up and fix my pillow?", I asked and he nodded. I propped myself up a little the best I can until the pain in my pain started and I stopped. He lifted the pillow up and I moved back a little to lean against it. I couldn't stop my eyes from water up, "God, I feel like crap. I can even fix a pillow without hurting. I hate feeling handicap and needing everyone to do things for me. Do you how hard it is to eat food? I been eating mash potato's for the last two days and pudding!",

"I'm sorry, Jesse.", Kaden said. "I want to help, but I don't know how.",

I wiped my eyes, "Doesn't matter anyways, you didn't do this to me. Can we just change the subject?",

"Okay.", he said. "Wanna hear something that might make you feel better?",

"Sure.", I said.

"I heard from these girls that Tabby and her friends just start randomly breaking out with zits. A new one would appeared every fifteen minutes. Have any ideas how that happened?", he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nooo....", I said slowly and tried to hold back my grinned, but my muscled failed. "Okay, it isn't my fault. Andria stole my year book and probably had Helene do some spell. I didn't tell her to do it.",

He chuckled, "Well when they tried to cover it up, the makeup failed so they had to grow around with large zits all day. Apparently they were humiliated.",

"Well I would say it sucked to be them, but I would have to care.", I said and he chuckled.

He grabbed my chin lightly and kissed me, "And you shouldn't.",

A few moments later, I touched the crescent pendent, "So, I see you seem to be sleep fine the past to days.",

"Yeah. I mean, he's still there, but he doesn't try anything. The only time I wake up now is either for the bathroom or to grab something to eat or like last night, to make sure you were alright.", he said. "I miss sleep next to you.", he frowned.

I gave him a small smile, "I know, me too. I grown so use to it, but I need all my bed space at night.",

"Is the belt that doctor give you working?", he asked, picking the black rib belt a nurse gave me to take home to help me breath better and do other things.

I nodded, "Yeah, but it gets so sweaty and itchy, so I take until it becomes really hard again. It really helps when I have to use the bathroom and I get up. It doesn't help the pain, but my breathing is easier.",

"That's good.", he said and I nodded.

I hesiated, but finally asked, "Are nervous about tomorrow?",

He looked down at my second before looked away and nodded, "Yeah, I guess I am. The only time the family gets together is when one of us is turning.",

"How many are they're in your family?", I asked.

"Well, we try not to have much children so about maybe almost a hundred.", he said. "As we know of. We're sure others could be out there somewhere, but we don't know.",

"Well, they'll learn themselves when they have kids I guess.", I said and he nodded.

"You sure you want us to go?", my mom asked. "I know you said Melanie and Kaden will be here, but I still feel wrong for leaving you here while your hurting.",

"Mom, you told aunt Megan you would be there.", I pointed out. "Even, you two go have fun while you can cause then you have to come back and take care of me again. Go. Go get drunk and whatever else you old people like to do.",

My mom glared at the world 'old' and my dad just chuckled. She leaned down and kissed my forehead, "Okay, Jesse. I do feel a little better at knowing someone going to be here for you. Melanie a great friend to do this.",

I smiled, though it wasn't true about her coming over. "Yeah, she is. She should be here real soon after you leave. Kaden should also be here any second.",

"Okay. Don't burn the house down while we're gone.", she said and chuckled. She kissed my forehead again and got up.

My dad leaned down and kissed my forehead, patting the top of my head. "You have your own fun night with your friends. Watch a movie and or something.",

"That's the plan.", I said, referring to doing 'something' as in going out to the woods to watch a ritual from a gypsy and hopefully get this curse off my boyfriend who you have no idea is actually a Lycan and not even human. Yup, that's something.

They smiled and my parents walked over to the door. They waved goodbye and I smiled and raised my hand. They left and I waited until they were out the door and I heard they're car.

"Okay, you can come out.", I told Kaden who was in my closet. My parents doesn't know he's already here yet since he was here all night, all morning, and afternoon. It would look strange to see him here and not remember when he got here.

My closer opened and Kaden had a giant grin on his face and raised his hand, "Why haven't I ever seen these before?", he asked and my cheeks flamed up when I saw him holding my lacy black thong that I don't even wear cause I only bought it since Melanie dared me to get it one time we were at Victoria Secret's. My parents would flip if they ever saw it and I had it stuffed back in my closet so they wouldn't see it. Even, thongs just give you that really bad wedgy feeling, I think I'll stick to booty short. Less irritation.

"You went looking around my closet?", I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He chuckled as he walked up to my bed, "Your parents were in here really long, I had to do something.",

He threw the thong down on my bed, "You should wear that, but I can be the only one to see that.",

I picked up the thong and threw it off my bed, "I think not, but you could wear it.", I teasingly said.

"You like that too, but I think they're to small for my ass.", he said and my cheeks burned up and I scowled him for being an idiot. He chuckled, "Come on, lets get ready.",

He helped me sit up on my bed and helped me tighten the belt around me. I told him which pants and shirt I want as he went threw my draws and closet. I had to debate with him about going near my underwear and bra draw, saying if he opened it, I'll kill him.

"So you can go threw mine, but I can't go threw yours?", he asked, placing the cloths next to me.

"Nope.", I said, popping the 'p'. "Now get out. I can cover this.",

"Okay.", he said and walked over to my door, "I'll be right out here if you need help. Do ask if you do.", he winked and my cheeks burned up as he walked out.

I took a few deep breaths before picking the shirt up. It was slightly hard to put it on since when my arms would rise in the arm, the pain would shot out and cause me to hiss. I leaned on my desk as I got up for support and I slid my pants on.

"Okay, you can come in.", I told Kaden and he came in without hesitation. "I want my converses please.",

So after about thirty minutes of getting my shoes, brushing my hair, getting something to eat, and waiting for Kaden to go to his house and change into some cloths, he helped me to his car. I saw Joe, Clare, and Angela go into there's and they waved to me before they went in. Claire foot healed since it was just badly sprain, but her arm was still in a case.

They would go straight to the woods were everyone was going to be, but Kaden and I had to pick up Helene and Andria.

As we drove, it was quite. After a moment and getting close to the house, I asked, "Nervous?",

He nodded, "Yeah. I mean, all my life, this curse scared me. I may have gotten over being a giant wolf, but not the curse. To know it's going to be over once and for all, it--I don't know, makes me feel relieved, but nervous.", he said and he took a moment before saying, "I'm going to make her bring him back out tonight.",

My eyes widen, "What? Kaden, are you insane?",

"I can't go my whole life with him there in my dreams. I need him gone and I don't care how long it take. If it'll have to take a hundred time, I'll do it. I don't care if I have to be chained up to a tree, just as long as I get rid of him.", he said.

I kept my mouth close, knowing he's right. Kaden live on with Lucian in him anymore. It would be selfish of me to tell him not to, which he wouldn't even listen. I just nodded my head and when we pulled up to the house, I called them and told them we're right out side.

A minutes later, Andria and Helene came out. Helene was holding a quilt bag and they hoped in the back of the car.

Andria looked around and her nose slightly scrunched up, "Nice car.", she sarcastically said.

"Ha-ha.", Kaden faked chuckled. "It's all I could afford with my money.",

Helen leaned forward, "Ignore her, she just a picky girl and likes the new things.", she chuckled. "So are you two ready?", she asked and we nodded. "Good, we'll do it when the sun is down and the moon is high-", she cut herself off when she looked at Kaden hands.

Kaden and I looked at her confused and looked down at his hand. I didn't find anything odd and nothing weird. His hands looked dried and he had a little more hair on the top of his hands, but nothing strange.

"What?", Kaden asked.

Helene shook her head and smiled, "Nothing, nothing wrong. We can go now.",

Kaden and I were still confused, but we let it go. I looked out ahead as Kaden drove and all I could think about was Helene reaction to his hands. Why'd she look worried? I hope there nothing wrong.
