"His name is Jason." I hear Grace say when I walk back down. I have the invitation in my hand and walk into the living room. Agus is sitting at the dining table behind the laptop and Laurel and Grace are sitting on the couch. I'm going to sit with them. 

"So, Jason, ha. Should we interrogate him soon?"Says laurel smiling brightly.

Omg, I laugh at her and shake my head. "Uhmm ... no, he's not my boyfriend or something."

Yet...

I look at Grace and hold the envelope up. "We are invited to their cousin's wedding." I hand it over. "They all live next to each other, like a big family. So, when I am with Jason and Valentina, I got to know the whole family, and the oldest cousin is getting married and we are invited." I say. Hopefully she doesn't think it's weird.

She opens the card and reads it. 

"And uhm... I was also asked to be a bridesmaid. They already have everything for me, my dress, they will get shoes tomorrow." 

"Bridesmaid?" Grace looks surprised. 

"Yes ... they are all homeschooled. Jason is the only one going to school this year. They don't get out a lot so I'm kind of one of the few outsiders they know." 

"Ohww, it's tomorrow already," says Grace, studying the card. 

"Yes, they really do everything on short notice. They ordered the dresses 2 weeks ago." 

"Ohww so nice, I will come." She says and smiles at laurel. "Does that whole family look like the one at the door?" Laurel asks laughing. 

"Yes,"I say and smile too.

When my mother comes home I also explain everything to her. Laurel and Agus are leaving again before dinner. Agus has not looked at me or said anything to me the whole time. I don't know what's wrong with him. But I feel weird asking him about it.

We eat and go upstairs. I read Celly a story before bedtime, about a bear and a rabbit who were first enemies but then became friends. 

I go to the bathroom and get ready to go to bed. I put my hair in a tail and see the scar. It will be gone soon, let's just believe that.

 I lie down in my bed and set my alarm at 7 o'clock. Before I fall asleep the day goes through my head as usual. 

We got to know more about the scars and myself. They are the scars of the other Vinis. I draw things from their lives, I am connected to people who are dead. That thought freaks me out. My arms are covered with goosebumps. I close my eyes and cover myself completely with my blanket.

I wake up and still lie under my blanket. I quickly check my clock to see if I haven't overslept. It is a quarter for 7, so my alarm clock will go in fifteen minutes. I get up, otherwise, I will fall asleep again. 

I walk to the bathroom and get everything ready. I'm taking a shower washing my hair and blow-dry it, don't do anything with it, don't curl or straighten it. Sweat pants and a t-shirt it is for today.

I pack my backpack and think about what to bring. My make-up, I also bring my curling iron and hair straightener, pins and rubber bands. Ohw should not forget the jewelry. I walk to my closet and look at my jewelry shelf. I'm not going to wear a necklace. I see the box with the earrings that I got from Jason. I sit down on my bed and open the box. They are really beautiful... just magical. The stones, in the form of drops, shine in the light. I think that the color green is the same as the color of my dress. I also put the box in my bag. 

The clock on my wall shows me it's half-past eight. Celly would be awake soon. He always wakes up around 8 a.m. I put my bag on my desk and walk to his room. He is still in bed playing with his stuffed animals. 

''Heyy Celly," I sit down on his bed.

"Sisi," he says sits up handing me one of his animals.

"Are we going to eat?" 

He nods and gets out of his bed.

I put him in front of the TV and I go to the kitchen to make breakfast. 

My mom and sister are still sleeping.I make tea and make toast for myself. For Celly, I bread with chocolate paste and also tea, but add cold water to his. I walk back to the living room and sit next to him. He starts eating and we watch TV. Mickey mouse of course, that's all he watches. He tells something that happened yesterday in the playgroup. Someone had taken the drawing from his best friend Luuk.

My mother comes down in her bathrobe and also makes breakfast for her self.

"Good morning." She says, giving us both a kiss on our foreheads.

"Good morning, Ma." I say and move so she can sit next to me.

"Where is that wedding actually, nearby?"

"Close to Christina. It is an outdoor wedding in the woods."I explain. I'm done with my bread and grab my tea.

"How are you going to handle your crutches?" She asks and looks at my tape.

"Well, to be honest, I don't really need my crutches anymore." I move my ankle in a circle and stand. "You see," I say. 

She nods and laughs.

"But I will take them with me, just in case," I say not to make it sound too exaggerated.

When I'm done I gather all my things. My bag and crutches are already waiting in the hall. Jason is coming soon, I am looking at the clock. Do I have everything with me? Yes, I don't need clothes and shoes. I  feel a little bit nervous. Why am I so nervous? Jason is coming to my house, I answer myself and get a smile on my face. 

The bell rings at exactly at half-past ten. My mother looks up surprised at the sound off the. 

"It's Jason," I say. I walk from the kitchen to the living room. "See you soon, it will start at 2 o'clock," I say from the hall.

 I open the door and Jason standing in the door opening. 

"Good morning," he says with a smile while his eyes scan my face.

 I smile back "Good morning." 

Celly runs to the door. "Jaaasonnn!" He shouts and jumps at Jason. 

Jason catches him and laughs. "Hey, buddy."

 Celly briefly tells him something about the tv show he is watching, meanwhile, I get into my shoes, put on my coat, grab my bag and crutches. 

I'm standing in the door opening, ready to go.

"Ready?" Jason asks when he sees me.

 I nod. 

He puts Celly down again. 

"Celly, we'll be going, see you later ok." I give a kiss on the forehead. 

"Bye," he says, waves at us and runs back to the living room. 

"Bye!" I call and close the door behind me. 

I turn to Jason now who is already looking at me. He no longer seems angry, confused or irritated as he did yesterday. It's just his normal self again, nice. 

We walk over to the white Audi standing in front of my house. I have my crutches in my hand. 

 "I had to take my crutches with me, not that I'm going to use them, but you know, just for show," I explain. 

"Yes, I understand," he says while opening the passenger door. 

I smile and sit down. 

"Give your crutches and bag, I will put them in the back," He says. 

I hand them over and he places them behind. "Thank you," I say.

Cute he just opened the door for me!

I put on my seatbelt while he sits down next to me also putting on his. He starts the car and we drive away. 

I notice a few boxes in the back seat. I wonder what the hall would look like and the forest wedding. I hope the weather will stay nice, you never know.

The radio is on, I know the song that is playing now. It is one of those songs I had to dance on. We sometimes get to pick a song and make a choreography on it as an assignment. I choose this one, Complicated by Mikexangel. I didn't think Jason would listen to music like this. 

I look at him, he is wearing sweat pants and just a normal white shirt. His hair is completely messed up, but, of course, he still looks good. I didn't put much efort into my appearance, because we are gonna do our makeup and hair at Valentia's. But I can't pull off this messy look as he can. He had seen me like this before, but that time I had a reason to look like this.

We are facing a traffic light. A scooter is standing next to us. 

Jason would pick me up with the scooter but he is by car. Without thinking, I got into the car. Does he even have a driver's license? I always thought he was 16, 17 maybe 18, if he has a driver's license he has to be 18? He drives very well so I guess he has one. 

"Jason?" I look at him, he looks at me answering my eyes.

"Yes?" 

"Do you have a driver's license?" I hope he doesn't think I don't trust him. 

"Yes," he says convincingly, looking around for his driver's license. 

"You don't have to show it, I believe you," I say and smile. 

He nods and looks ahead again. Suddenly I feel my arm burning, an annoying burning tickle. I run my hand over my sleeve and then it's gone again. 

I have to know how old he is. In the Netherlands, you must be 18 before you are allowed to drive a car. So he is 18 or older.He can, of course, be much older. I'm staring at his face again. He could also be 20 or 21 I guess, but not older than that.

"Jason?" 

"Yes," he says patiently glancing at me again.

''How old are you actually?''

He looks away from me at the road again with a little smile playing on his lips. What is that suppose to mean?

"Old," he says when he looks at me. 

''Humm,'' is all I say.

 I look away. That is not really an answer to my question. I thought that werewolves aged the same as humans do. He doesn't look old so is he maybe the same age for a longer time than a year?

''Do you mind?'' he asks when I stay silent. 

 What is old? 20? Or older than 20? 23? I have fallen in love with a boy who is so old. I'm just 16 so that age difference would be big. He likes me, it really seems that way. The Idea of him being old and liking me freaks me out a little.  Yes, I actually mind. 

"Well, yes, I always thought you were 17 or 18," I say and look uncomfortable, this actually changes a lot. 

He smiles and pulls out his driver's license from his pocket. 

 "I'm 17," he mentions and gives me the card.

I see his birthdate. He is 17 years old and will be turning 18 in about a month.

 "I was able to get my driver's license earlier through Julia's father who has a garage and because... I'm a wolf." 

I feel so relieved! It would be so weird if he was old, this whole situation would be weird.

''You are so funny,'' I say in a sarcastic tone.

He chuckles and looks at me again. 

I hum along with the song, OIU by Jeremih, again a cute song.

"Do you know this song?" He sounds surprised. "I didn't expect you to listen to this kind of music." He says. He charges his phone trough the radio, look in at his phone. 

"Is the music playing on your phone?" 

"Yes," he answers.

"Can I choose a song?" I'm curious about what else he has. 

"Sure," he picks up his phone and types in the code, 3-1-0-8. I wonder if it has a meaning.

Opening his music list and he hands the phone to me. Scroll through the list and recognize most of the numbers.

"Now you can be honest. You really seemed disturbed by me saying I was older.'' he air quotes the last word.

I look back at the list before answering. "I think I would be more distant, I wouldn't let myself fall for you if I knew you were older," I say distracted and look at the phone. 

When I notice he is silent I look up again and see him looking at me with wide eyes.

It's just now that I realize what I said. Omg, I look back at the screen again. He knew I like him right? well, I never said it out loud.

"Humm, that's good to know, I'm happy I'm young." He says and looks at me, I know he has a grin on his face.

The next song comes on, Let me love you by Mario.

Then I smile and roll my eyes not looking at him. He still looks at me but then looks at the road with a smile. 

When we're silent we both listen to the music. This again is a love song. I look at the list on his phone and see it's called (A heart emoji)

I laugh, ''What's up with all the love songs?''

He sighs, making me lookup.

With a smile on his face, he says. ''I can't help it...I fell in love.''

I laugh at this, it sounds so cheesy. His smile grows, while his eyes are on me.

I click on the next song in the list, I don't know this one.

 His eyes shoot at my hand on my leg. 

"Do I have to turn into a wolf before I can hold your hand?" He looks at the road as he asks that question. 

"Uhmm, yes," I say teasing. 

He smiles amused "okay", he raises his hand and I see his nails grow into claws. "Good enough?" he asks, now he looks at me. 

I look at his hand and I braid my fingers with his. He gives my hand a soft squeeze. I see how his hand changes back to his normal hand in a few seconds. With my dumb, I move over his. 

I see Jason has a pleased expression on his face.

The next song comes one called, Sure thing by Miguel.

I don't know the song so I just listen to the lyrics. This is the cutest song I ever heard. I can't help moving my freehand with the song and the smile on my face will hearing the lyrics. I see Jason smile has grown listening to the song and his fingers tap on the wheel.

When the chores comes he looks at me and sings along.

''Even when the sky comes falling, Even when the sun don't shine, I got faith in you and I,
So put your pretty little hand in mine.'' He sings looking at me with a smile. At the last part, he looks at our hands.

 I look back at him, sing and being so goofy. This is the best thing ever, seeing him like this.

He closes his eyes for a second and nods his head while singing, ''We could do it baby, simple and plain.'' than he opens his eyes again and looks at the road but doesn't stop singing.

''Cause this love is a sure thing.''

I can't keep my eyes off him while he keeps on singing the whole song to me, driving and moving to the beat. He holds my hand up and pushed it to his cheek. He is really feeling this song, and I love being the one to witness this. I love seeing him so relaxed and having fun. I could watch him all day long. 

When the song ends I feel my cheeks hurt from smiling.

''I love this song,'' he sais.

I laugh, ''So do I,'' 

We are silent both smiling and staring out of the window. 

I hate potentially ruining this vibe but I just have to know.

"Jason?" 

He laughs, "Just ask."

 "What happened yesterday?" I turn to him under my belt. 

He looks at me from the road for a moment and then back.
