Shawn:

So I'm guessing Makenna uncle--Jonas--didn't know anything about the little fight I did the other night cause he called the apartment and left me a message saying I have an interview for a busboy job. Of course Travis was home and he got annoyed since it was at the dinner Makenna works at, but he say I need a job and I should go.

I saw a guy with built shoulder, dark hair, and a little facial hair around his mouth behind the counter writing down on something like business papers. I walked up to the counter and made the best happy smile I can do, "Hey, I'm Shawn Gates.",

He looked up at me and smiled, "Ah, your Shawn. You look a little like Travis.",

I shrugged, "Same mom, different dads.", I said. It was true, me and Travis have looked totally different since he has dark hair and I have blonde hair. Our lips, nose, and eye shape is the only thing we have the same that comes from our mother. His eyes are full grey, mine is bluish-grey. But we think of ourselves as full-blood brother and don't think about the dads, but that we share blood, even if it's not full.

He nodded his head, "Ah. Well, why don't you come with me-"

"Maggie, can you please come over here and help--dang it!", Makenna said as she walked out of the kitchen with a round tray with food on it, but it must've bin too heavy for her cause the tray tilt a little and all the food dropped onto the floor. "I'm such an idiot.", she whined as she bent down to clean the mess up.

"You know what, forget the interview. You start now.", Jonas said as he threw me a rag and grey bucket I would use for to grab dirty plate and bring the back to the kitchen to get clean.

"I am so sorry, Uncle Jona-", Makenna cut herself off when he looked up and saw me. Our eyes made contact and I saw her breathing hitch. "Oh, um, hey Shawn.", she tried to say smoothly, but I herd the nervousness in her voice and her cheeks flamed up from her accident.

"You know him, Mak?", Jonas asked her as she got up from the floor and grabbed a few napkins to clean her hands off.

She nodded her head and looked at him, "Yeah, he's goes to school with me. He's in the same grade.",

"Oh.", he said. "Well, any friend of Makenna can happily work here.",

"Oh, we're not friends.", she said and gave a nervous chuckle and I frowned at her, which made her stop. She doesn't want to be friends with me? Why the hell not!

Jonas groaned, "Mak, why do you push people away? I wonder where it comes from cause it most certainly doesn't come from your mother or fathers.",

Makenna shoulder slugged down, "I don't push people away, Uncle Jonas. It's just he's popular in school and I'm a no one. Even, why would the new hot student want to be friends with the 'goth girl?", she asked, making air quotes around 'goth girl'.

A grinned plastered my face, "You think I'm hot?", I teased.

Makenna jerk and looked away embarrassed, "I mean, um--my mess, I'll clean it up.", she said, taking the grey bucket from me and bent down to clean up the splattered food and plate. "Can you go ask the cooks to re-make those orders, Uncle Jonas, and go tell table five the order going to be a little longer?",

He sighed, but nodded his head, "Yeah, Makenna. Both they both aren't going to be happy, but okay.",

As he walked into the kitchen, she said, "Sorry, again.",

I walked around the counter and bent down in front of her to help her, "You know, it's cute when you blush.", I said, but it wasn't really me. Stupid wolf.

She froze, but quickly recovered, "No it's not, it's dumb. I'm so shy, I can't help it, though.",

I finally have to ask, "Makenna, why don't you have any friends? You don't seem the label they call you. Sure, you have dark hair, but many people have black hair. So, why?",

She sighed, "I have always liked being alone. I was never the pretty one in school since I was little fat when I was younger, so I learned to keep to myself and personally, I like it. I always had my family at my side and I never was good at talking to people since I was shy. So, I keep to myself all this time and I'm always quite in school, that's why they call me goth.", she snorted and rolled her eyes. "I am not goth, though. I listen to Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigine, and Demi Lovato and really, I hate that scream-o music.",

I gave her a soft chuckle, "You seem to let another side out sometimes with me. From my guess, you don't usually giggle and talk about sports around other people--especially guys.",

I watched herself stare down at the mess and I could tell I was right by her not answering.A few moment later, she brushed her hair behind her ears, "Why are you being nice to me, Shawn?", she asked as we got up from the floor, the gray bucket in my hands.

I shrugged, "Why not? You seem like a nice girl to be friends with.", I told her. And your also my mate, caused by the Sprits that run in my kind, I thought.

She crossed her arm over her chest, "I can be mean sometimes.", she huffed.

That made me grin down at her again, "Oh, really? Tell me something you did 'bad'?", I chuckled and leaned down on the counter.

"Well," she smirked. "I slapped a cocky-think-he's-to-cool-for-himself guy in the face for kissing me.",

"Oh, please, I know you liked it.", I said, excepting a shock looked or a jerk, but she just tsked and put her hands on her hips.

She smirked, "If that's what you think, Mr. Gates.", she chuckled and walked around me and the counter a old man and I herd her asked if he wants more coffee, which he gave her a cheeky smile and nodded his head.

Oh, but I know very well that she liked it. She can pretend all she wants, but I know she did. She hadn't, she wouldn't have kissed me back.

Being a busboy is easier than I thought. All I really had to do was clean up tables and make sure the dinner was clean. This place could grow on me...if I didn't have my little mate here. I called Travis a little after I came here and let him I know Jonas just let me start and I'll be here until nine thirty.

He sounded happy, but I know why. He wanted me out of the house and I heard a giggling in the back round. Of course he had someone come over after I left. We wolf hormones are ten-time crazier than a normal high scholar. We're always horny, but hey, it's the animal side in us fault.

The night was long since it was Friday, but it's nine now and there was less people now. Only three families and one young couple.

Makenna was behind the counter, reading a new book called Fallen by Lauren Kate. Bookworm.

I was cleaning off a table as Maggie, a red head women in her early fifties, turned on the radio and a song a only ever herd a few times came on.

"Hey, Makenna, this is some boring Friday night, eh?", Maggie asked.

Makenna laughed as she bopped her head real faster to the Leann Rimes beginning of her song Can't Fight The Moonlight, a song I only ever herd on Coyote Ugly, a movie I only watched cause they're was girls dancing on a bar and I was with a girl I went to school with at my old school.

"Under a lover sky, gonna be with you and no ones going to be around, if you think you wont, wait until, til the sun goes down," Makenna sang. She didn't have a Taylor Swift voice, but it was beautiful to my ears.An image of Makenna dancing on the counter flashed in my mind like the girls did in the movie Coyote Ugly. I quickly looked back down at the table and shook my head. I need to stop thinking these things about her. God, why does this have to be so hard?

Why can't I just give in and be with her? I want so badly to go up to her and dance with her to the song and just hold her in my arms. Ugh, life as a wolf is so damn difficult. And what would be so wrong with being with a girl I so badly want?

Freedome. Right, that means losing my freedom. I'm only sixteen for God sakes. I haven't even lived life yet and I don't care what the Sprits are thinking, this isn't the old days were you had to get married at a young age and die at thirty. Nope. I need to live life the fullest without the baggage of one girl...

I felt a tap on shoulder and I turned around, seeing Makenna looked up at me. Her cheeks were pink, but she held out a hand for me. I gave her a confused look and I looked around the dinner to see some people dancing. Oh, why the hell not?

I smiled down at her and took her hand and put a hand around her waist and twirled out bodies around. Her giggle filled my ear and I chuckled. I surprised to see how good she was at dancing.

"Is this common on a Friday night?", I asked as I twirled her around.

She nodded her head, "Yeah, Maggie a music freak and loves to play music Friday night.", she chuckled. "Uncle Jonas doesn't like the idea, but he allows Maggie to do it. Even, the customers like the ideas, as you can see.",

I didn't bother the other customers, though. I know I'm taking a risk by dancing with her. I could somehow feel--even though I'm not trying--playing with her mind. I'm probably giving her hopes or something and I don't want to hurt her if she started to fall in love with me.

Kiss her, idiot!, my wolf screamed in my head.

No!, I screamed back. We're only friends, nothing more. I don't want to her hurt her later on.

I could hurt her in so many ways. One, she will freak out if she finds out I'm a freaking wolf! Second, I come from a messed up family with a selfish mother, a alcoholic step-dad, and a brother who changed me into a mythical creature that is a large freakish dog. Thirdly, I'm just plain out wrong for her, she deserves someone with a good future and not a guy who'll probably wont go to college and work at a dinner the rest of his life.

Ohh, but what's one kiss going to hurt?

I grinned down at her as I ranked my hands in her soft long dark hair and leaned my head down. I heard Makenna let out a small gasped as my lips touched her. My whole body heated up and that's not normal for a wolf since we can't feel our body heat. But all the heat made my blood go to one place.

Makenna kissed me back and put one hand around my neck as the kissed roughing a little. It seriously felt like the world was spinning fast and I enjoyed the feeling.

Makenna pulled away and turned her head around to see a shaking head Maggie, but Maggie was grinning. Makenna quickly turned her head around and took my hand , "Come on.", she whispered up at me and quickly lead me over near the entrance.

I wanted to ask where she was taking us, but personally, I don't give a shit. I let her lead us out of the dinner and around it. She wrapped her arms around my neck and bit her bottom lip, but was grinning as she leaned up and kissed me.

Whoa, I'm a little surprised actually. I never would have taken her to lead, I grinned threw the kiss, "You sure are confident now.",

She giggled, "I'm a surprise sometimes.",

I put my hands on her waist and lightly pushed her back against the dinner and pressed my body close to her, wanting to feeling her body against mine now. All my thoughts of Travis, Alpha Dylan, Hayden, Miranda, and being a fucking wolf left my mind. All I could really think is Makenna full lips and how much I wanted to get her out of her cloth right now badly.

I wrapped one of hand behind her neck and tilt her head up a little and she opened her mouth a little and I took advantage to slid my tongue into her. I could tell she was surprised since she took in a sharp breath in, but she slowly went along. I could tell she was new to kissing since their wasn't much force or anything, but it was totally cool to me since I know she hadn't kissed many guys before. That made me happy, actually. Her lips and tongue only belong to me.

I felt her heavy breathing and I took it I pleasure from it. It means I pretty much got her all turned-on. But nothing more will happen by making-out, at least, not right now.

But I knew this can't happening again. If I want to stay single and only be her friend, I can never give into my urges and kiss her again.

I put my other hand behind her back and under her shirt and felt her soft warm back. It was a cold October night, but since my body is heated up like a fire place my body was pressing against her, I'm warmed her up. I think she's just to focused right now on my lips to want to asked why my body felt so heated up.

After a few moments, I pulled my face away from hers and she frowned up at me, which only made me smile down at her, "Can't get enough, can you?",

Even in the dark, I could see her cheek redden up, "Y-yeah.", she stuttered. "I'm sorry to say this, but this friendship is sure one weird one.". I frowned down at her, remember I was suppose to be only that! Her friend. Friends don't kiss they're friends. She looked up at me confused, "Did I say something wrong?",

I quickly shook my head, "No, you didn't. It's just...I shouldn't have done that. We're friends, only friends.",

She looked a little hurt and I could see her eyes water up, but she blinked them back. Damnit! Why'd I have to go on and say that!? I'm so stupid! But it's the right thing to do. I'll just have to go back to ignoring her.

I took a step back and I swear I herd her whimpered, "I should get back in there, I don't want to get fired on my first day.", I said, quickly turning around from my hurt mate, who just stood there, looking at the ground.

I wanted to kick myself and have myself punched in the face for hurting her. But it also hurt me to leave her side. I thought getting beat from James was painful before I turned, but this was aching actual pain that filled over my whole body.

I walked back into the dinner and Maggie gave me a confused look. I just looked ahead and went back to my job. The only thing I'll be doing here for now on is my job and nothing else.

The door to the diner door burst open and I saw Makenna storm in and walked over to the counter. She quickly throw on her jacket and threw the books he was reading in her bag and placed the book bag on one shoulder, "I'm going home early tonight, Maggie. Tell Uncle Jonas I don't feel well and I'll be here tomorrow with mom at eight.", she said as she walked around the counter to the door. I could easily tell she was pissed off at me.

Maggie--who still looked confused and now worried--nodded her head, "Um, okay, dear, have a good night.",

As she walked out, she said, "Yeah, you too.",

I sat down at the both and laid my head in my hands and sighed long, "I'm an such a idiot.", I mumbled to myself. We'll, I got her to know I don't want her...sadly.

Makenna:

My mom wasn't home when I ran into my house and slammed the door shut. I took off my bookbag and walked over to my room. I walked in and turned on the lamp.

I was filled with so much emotion, I didn't know which one I wanted to be more. I wanted to cry and curse Shawn name and say how much I hate him. I also wanted to be pissed off and throw and break things. I really wanted to go back to the diner and begged Shawn to give us a try and kiss him again.

Ugh, why'd I let him kiss me in the first place!?

I'm so stupid! I use to be so carful around guys and now this one blonde head one makes me feel crazy and wanted to make sure I looked good for him and make him happy.

Oh, God, I'm turning into another high school girl. I have always bin the one to stick out and I didn't mind it.

I shouldn't have to worry anymore, Shawn made it clear he doesn't want to be with me when he stepped back and left me outside the dinner after making out with me like I was trash--like I was Miranda!

I had to get far away from Shawn as I can and I couldn't be there another minutes with him there. No, I would have start bawling my eyes out in front of him. That was not going to happen. I will show no weakness in front of him and let him think I am a little girl. I may have a baby-like face, but I am not a baby.

But now that I was home--alone, I sat down on my bed and grabbed a teddy bear my dad won me a parade a few years back and cried my eyes out. I could use my daddy right now. I need someone here to put their arm around me and tell me everything going to be okay. But I don't. My mom working and my dad dead. I'm all alone with no one. Like it has been for the past two years.
