He had told me.

Before Rachel...he would spend his days with the Betas all the time. Mostly with Jason and Daren though...they would get hot stinking drunk and check out girls. Usual boy things, but at school...they all would hang out. He told me stories that made me laugh...and things that made me cry. They were tighter than siblings. It was as if someone had took a red thread and tied all five of them together. They...grew up with each other...they knew each other like the back of their hands and no one thought they could be broken apart. Then one day...everything changed. He told me he had no idea what he was thinking that day. Maybe there was something in the air or maybe he was just desperate, he couldn't remember. He didn't know why he started taking an interest in Rachel. He thought she was stunning...they knew she was trouble.

They were right. Before she even got her hooks into him she began to rage war within their tight string. She spat lies and rumors, tearing them apart as she took pleasure in cutting their ties. And soon...Ky had left the equation. He knew...that she wouldn't stop if he didn't leave them...he knew they would end up hating him. And he couldn't bare it.

"And that's what happened." He said broken. I was sitting next to him on a giant cold stone rock, carved perfectly for sitting. The last rays of the sun shining upon his face. Looking upon his hurt facade. "And that's why I lied about you." He continued, twisting a strand of grass in his hands. "To protect you for she...will tear you away from me...just like she did with them." He threw the grass out of his hands and over the edge of the cliff. He...doesn't want me to be teared away...from him? Shaking the thought out of my mind I looked at him.

"You know..." he kept looking at the falling sun. "...they don't hate you. They miss you a lot Ky. They still worry about you...they want you back."

His face dropped into his hands. Ashamed and in pain. "I could never show my face to them. I screwed up too much." His voice was barely a whisper...broken. It broke my heart to see him this way, it broke it right in two.

"Ky..." I cooed. He didn't answer. "Ky," I reached for his wrist. My hands wrapping around them as I began to pull them slowly down.

"No!" He said, keeping his hands glued to his face.

"Ky look at me." I tried to move his hands again, but they wouldn't budge.

He shook his head.

"Look at me!" I demanded and this time...his hands fell willingly. His eyes were hollow and dull, life less. This...was the second time I saw Ky's eyes like this. But this time...he was letting me see them openly. No amount of jackassness could hide this, no amount can cover his sore heart.

"You shouldn't be ashamed," I reassured him. Looking at him with pleading eyes, his broken ones stabbing daggers into me. "The betas...they miss their Alpha. You're like a big brother to them, you're their friend and they could never hate you. No matter how many times Rachel twist the knife she stabbed in their back. No matter how many lies she told or rumors that were spoken. They miss you, they watch after you. They just wish you dump Rachel and come back. They hate Rachel, but they don't hate you! Please Ky...come back to them. Come back to being yourself."

There was a long pause as night was upon us. The cold air brushed against my skin as his eyes seemed to get a little light back into them. Light that made me hope, that made me believe that he believed me. His lips were a tight thin line as his hand reached out for me. Landing on my cheek as he held it, his hand soft as if I was a delicate rose that he didn't want to snap. He opened his lips to say something, but stopped and sighed. He didn't believe me.

"Every fiber in my body is telling me to believe you. And I do believe, I know what you say is true. But...I can't go back, not after what I've done. I can never go back."

My heart was aching, "Ky-"

"What God brought you to me? Brought your pure hopefully ray of light to my dark presence. What God?"

I was on the brink of tears, "Ky..."

"Come on...lets get the blanket and food set up." And just like that...he torn hisself away from me. Changing the subject as he let go, walking to the trunk of his car. I took in a shaky breath, collecting myself as I wiped my tears. I got up and shoved my hands into my front pockets as I walked slowly towards him. He didn't look at me when he handed me the cooler. Slamming the trunk close as he grabbed the blanket. He picked a nice even area of wide soft grass. Flapping out the blanket as he made it fly for a moment before he placed it slowly on the ground. The blanket perfectly straight as I put the cooler on the corner of it. Sitting down on the blanket as he followed soon after. He unpacked the cooler and we ate our dinner. Eating the still somewhat warm pasta and bread as we looked up at the stars. Saying nothing. What was there to say when you had noodles in your mouth? We soon finished and he surprised me with a slice of chocolate cake.

"I know it's your favorite." He said as I unwrapped my cake from the plastic wrap it was in. Looking at him as he took a bite of his.

"How did you know?" I said with glee as I shoved a bite of cake into my mouth. Moaning a little from how good it taste, he chuckled.

"I have my ways." He replied and with that we ate in silence again. Enjoying our dessert and silence as we were enchanted with the night sky. The stars looking extra beautiful tonight. Once finished with our cake we placed the plates and silverware back into the cooler. Ky took the cooler back into his trunk while I took this opportunity to lay on the blanket. Looking up at the stars as the grass and blanket cushioned my back.

"Blugh!" He said as he flopped down next to me. Making me chuckle as I felt his arm grazed against mine. Feeling one of his fingers stroke my hand. Making my cheeks turn fiery red.

"Nice night, isn't it?" He said with a smile. His voice sounding so warm it filled my ears beautifully.

"Yeah," I said softly. Staring up into the night sky as the stars twinkled with delight. Looking like beads of hope against darkness, trying to pierce through the veil. It took my breath away and I felt nothing but calm. The chilly air blew through me, making me cold to the bone. I made a little hissing nose as my arms wrapped quickly around me. Trying to warm up my slightly shivering form. Ky notice my sudden action and concern filled his eyes.

"Are you...cold Serena?" He asked softly.

"N-N-No." I lied and he chuckled.

"Come here," he said reaching out for me. Feeling his arm going under me as he was about to engulf me in his warmth.

"No, Ky...you don't have to do this if you don't want to."

(Play the music Video. It's "Light in The Hallway", by Pentatonix.")

"Hush, I want to." He said in a somewhat demanding and yet caring tone. I blushed when he began to hold me tight. His arms curling around me as I was pressed tight against his warm body. His body like a fiery furnace against my cold skin. Making me purr as I began to hold him with every desire I had. Cuddling into his chest like a kitten. He chuckled and his arms locked around me in a very tight hold. His body pressing completely against mine as mine did the same, millions of sparks going off. Our legs tangled together, my body soon getting the warmth I needed. I...I didn't want to let him go. I didn't want Ky Severs out of my arms. His hand began to stroke my hair, relaxing me as his touch did something completely different to me. His touch made me nervous and hot and yet...it calms me like water. I want to fall asleep right there in Ky's arms, I almost did as my eyes fluttered shut once his hand began to roam my hair. His fingers separating and twirling strands of my hair, making me melt with ease. My heart was pounding as the butterflies were doing stunts in my tummy. I wasn't nervous...I was happy, and maybe in l-... nope not saying that. I blushed at the thought. I can't possibly be in love with Ky Severs...could I? It was then Sakura's words popped back into my head.

"Bull fucking shit! Of course it's a date!"

Freaking Sakura, I groaned mentally. But...what if she's right? What if...this is a date? But, he doesn't like me in that way...so it can't possibly be a date...could it? I sighed, there's only one way to find out and it might ruin this whole moment. Here goes nothing.

"Ky?" I whispered. Hoping he didn't hear me.

"Hm?" He said in response. Bullocks!

"I was...I was just wondering..." I sighed. Debating whether I should ask it or not.

"What is it Serena?" He said, looking down as it made his voice go right into my ear. Sending a little shiver down my spine.

"I was just wondering...what is this?"

He gave me a confused look, "what is...what?"

Okay, here comes the nerves. "What was today?"

He still looked at me dumbfounded. "What do you mean?"

I chewed on my bottom lip. "Well, was today just hanging out? A getting to know you day? Or was it a......date?" I squeaked the word "date" in a whisper. But I knew he heard it because I saw his eyes widened. Then shrink again as he contemplated. He was silent for a good long minute, then he made his eyes meet mine.

"I don't know...I don't know what today was."

I looked down. "Oh..." I said, my heart falling into a abyss of hopelessness. Geez, is this what it feels like when a guy turns a girl down? What is happening to me?!?! My thought was soon broken as I felt a pair of lips on my forehead. Making me blush instantly once I realized they were Ky's lips. He kept his lips pressed against my forehead, feeling unbelievably soft against my skin. I missed them the millisecond he pulled them away.

"I don't know what today was...but, it was the best day I ever had." I was super blushing by now. Hiding my face in his chest as he continued. "And I want to have more days like it. Today was amazing Serena."

"Today...was amazing for me too Ky." I mumbled into his chest. His chest bouncing a little as he chuckled. His hand moved a piece of hair from my ear, whispering lowly into it.

"Good." He whispered and it send another wave of...sensation? through me.

We stayed like that for a while. Saying nothing, just laying there on that blanket. In each other's arms. Feeling his heart beat under my ear as I laid against his chest. Feeling his arms tight around me. I slowly fell asleep to his rapid beating heart.

* Monday *

                "HOW DID IT GO?!?!" Sakura yelled, practically pouncing on me as she almost made my books fall out of my hands.

I gave her a look, "how did what go?"

"The dateeeeeeee."

I rolled my eyes, "I told you it wasn't a date." I informed her walking to my third period class. The half bell haven't rung yet.

"It was a date!" She confirmed. Her lips going into a deep red smirk.

"It's not a date. I asked him what it was."

She gave me a shocked look. "What did he say?"

"He said he didn't know."

"Sooooo what I'm hearing is, he didn't denied it was a date."

I rolled my eyes. "Sakura!"

"It was a date! A date! A date! A date!" She mocked, hopping in circles around me.

"Sakura," I began to hush her. Putting a hand on her shoulder so she will stop bouncing.

"A daaaaaate! A daaaaaate!"

"Sakura please! Keep your voice down!" I said finally being able to get my hands on her. When suddenly the half-bell rang.

"Oops! Gotta go!" She said and she flew off like a whirlwind. I sighed with relief, taking a moment to recover what just happened. I guess I can say...saved by the bell.

Yes I know, I'm corny.

            "Today is a free period so I better see you moving!" Mr.Murdock our gym teacher shouted at us as we stood in our lines. Three lines of just boys and three lines of just girls. Standing like soldiers with our hands behind our backs and our chins up high.

"Yes sir!" We all said in unison. A sea of white shirts and black shorts (of course the girls shorts are shorter than the boys) standing before a dark haired and well shaved man. But here's the kicker...he's a blind werewolf. Since he's a werewolf he isn't just some young blind man. He was about 22 years old, single, and God he was hot. He knows exactly who and what people are doing as if he wasn't blind at all. He listens to your heart beat and takes in your scent to tell who you are or if you are lying or not. He's super hearing let's him know if you're really working or decided to be a total jackass. He scares the humans, making them think that he's got some kind of human voodoo or something. I always laugh when I hear a rumor about Mr.Murdock, it's always spontaneous. But he really is a great teacher and he's a total badass.

"Dismiss!" His voice boomed against the gym walls, bouncing back into our ears. On his command we dispersed. I headed over to the work out room where I could take a few rounds at the punching bag in there. I tied my hair up into a pony tail as I walked, feeling a pair of pissed eyes on me. I just ignored it, only having one goal in mind, to punch. I stood in front of the black punching bag that hung on chains on a metal rail. Wrapping my hands in white bandaging to protect my knuckles. My eyes landing on a very familiar form.

His muscles were taunt with every punch he made. Putting so much force into every punch as he almost made the bag fly off it's hinges. I watched as he punched with strength but...also with emotion. The look of death and fear in his eyes. He stopped to take a breath, letting the bag sway a little before he placed his hand on it. Stopping it completely. It was at that moment...his eyes landed on me. I smiled and waved a little in the usual greeting once our eyes were connected. I was expecting a smile back... but what I got was a disgusted look and a snarl. He scoffed and turned away from me, going back to his punching bag. Seeing his lab dog gawking right behind him, talking to one of her popular friends. I saw her eyes peeked in my direction and I snapped my head away. My eyes on my punching bag once more.

My heart was broken. Then again...I was a fool to ever think that he could love me.

Punch!

He just met you Serena. Hell he doesn't even see you as a friend!

Punch! Punch!

Sakura is wrong! Sakura was always wrong and I was a fool to hope. To even think, God Serena why are you such an idiot!

Punch! Punch! Punch! Punch!

I began to punch in rage, hearing the chains creak every time it swung. Feeding into my punchline as I kept punching it harder and harder. If I kept going I was sure I was going to rip the bag off its steel rail. Or split open my Knuckles in the process, whatever came first. I would have done it...if I didn't felt a hand on the lower part of my back. The hand ushered me to stop, I was reluctant at first, but then I followed into the command. It was Mr.Murdock, his presence was warm and familiar to me. He was a part of my pack after all and it was kind of weird that I would be outranking him. He leaned his lips to my ear, speaking in a soft whisper.

"Don't let him see how he affects you."

My eyes widened, turning to him as his hand fell from me. The warmness of his touch fading away. "What?"

He smirked, his black sunglasses covering his eyes as he shoved his hands into his front pockets. Standing there casually as if we have been best friends for our whole lives.

"Guys love a challenge. Just remember that." He said confidently, giving me a wave as he walked away saying. "Great work by the way. You're one of my top students. Keep up the good work."

I stood there dumfounded and a little confused on what just happened. What did just happen? Did my...blind teacher just give me relationship advice? I shrug off the weird experience and turned to face my punching bag again. Unfortunately...I came face to face with Rachel. I quickly stepped back for we were wayyyyyy too close for comfort. I wouldn't even go near here with a nine foot pole. She was giving me a hideous face, one of hatred and rage. I narrowed my eyes at her, speaking in a snarl.

"What do you want Rachel?" My fists tightened at my sides.

"Nothing," her eyes scanned my face as she puckered her lips and crossed her arms. "Just clarifying something."

"And what would that be?"

"If you have any interest in MY BOY!"

I growled, my voice emotionless and sharp like ice. "He is not your boy and me having interest is none of your concern."

She scoffed, "it is my concern!" I was shooting daggers at here by now. Trying so hard not to rip out her throat by now. Why do I hate her so much?

"He's my property," she continued. Oh no she didn't. "He's my Ky and my love. He's my business and mine to claim. And I have all the power to keep anyone who's a threat away from him. So you," she pushed me. "Stay away from him. Or I swear I will make your life a living Hell."

I paused when she pushed me. Growling deeply as my eyes changed into my deep shade of blue. Glaring at her as she gulped, look who's a scaredy cat. I grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and pushed her back into the punching bag. Holding her there as I snarled in her face. Her eyes changing green in fright.

"Now you listen to me Rachel!" I spatted her name. "I'm not afraid of you, if anything...you should be afraid of me. For I. will. hurt. you. I am Ky's first Beta and I can withstand a fight with him, I might even be able to win. If I can withstand an Alpha...fighting you would be like fighting a child. You don't scare me, not for one bit. So if I have any interest in Ky, I will play on it. I will spend time with him, I will be his friend. I will protect him and you can do nothing about it. I make sure he's safe, you make sure he's miserable."

"I do n-"

I slammed her back against the punching bag. Making her shut up instantly. "Don't you dare speak in my presence. Don't you dare be all high and mighty like I'm some kind of slave. I...am a beta and I'll eliminate anything that harms or bring pain to my Alpha. You're next on my list."

I pushed her and let her go, turning my back on her as I walked away. Fists at my sides as my blue eyes burned. Feeling a pair of worried eyes on my back as I walked into the locker rooms. It wasn't thinking about the eyes until I was dressed and my hair was against my shoulders. It wasn't until I had left the gym that I finally realized who they belonged too.

Ky.

This bed is harder than this morning. I thought as I was laying on my bed. Sulking as I stared up at my blank white ceiling. I sighed, well...today was eventful. Shunned by your Alpha and talked down by "his" obsessive girl. I think I handled both of those situations great...I think. I turned on my side, drawing shapes and patterns into my red blanket. Letting my mind sink in on itself.

Did you really think that he could ever think of you as more of a friend? He doesn't even want to be seen with you! He doesn't want you!

I know. I know.

Then why do you even try?!?! My conscious spoke.

I thought...

You thought what?

I groaned. It doesn't matter. I thought nothing.

That's a lie!

Just shut up! Wow...I really gotta stop fighting with myself. I sighed and took a deep breath. Giving me a moment to calm down and to relax. I soon reached for my phone. It's light casing feeling like it wasn't there as I held it in my hands. Swiping the screen as the picture of a happy family faded behind circled numbers. My thumbs wiped over the numbers, putting in my code as the screen soon open to icons and apps. I bit my bottom lip as I contemplated, what do I want to do? Or a better question is...who do I want to talk to? So many decisions. I finally decided to open my messages seeing that I had...none. Wow, I'm being a loser.

I got out of my messages and went to my contacts. Seeing who I wanted to to talk to. Scanning the names as my finger landed on one.

Thee Alpha. Also known as Ky Severs.

My finger hovered over his name, debating whether to push it or not. To message or to stay silent... I closed my eyes and shook my head. Turning off my phone as I placed it on the far side of the bed. Turning my back on it as I began to think of things that weren't important. Things that were calm and simple. In truth...the concept of love was new to me. It kind of...scared me, I've never felt like this about a person. I never felt so...needy or hopeless. I thought and thought, until I got hungry and decided to get up. Leaving my phone on the bed as I left my room. Not wanting to be bothered or think about love and kisses. Dates or not dates, friends, interests. I just want to watch a movie and eat a big bucket of ice cream. Leaving my phone as I headed downstairs. Thinking that I wouldn't get any calls or texts.

Thee Alpha: Hey are you okay?
