JACOB

Chapter 18| Sexy Ass Liar!

I sat on a cut tree stoop right outside of the bonfire by myself, the music still audible. Holding a Coke in one hand and phone in the other. Katie is shutting me out; completely shunning me. I still don't know why.

Not knowing many people at the party and I only came for Katie, so that leaves me alone.

I couldn't follow and keep up with her; she's drinking and dancing a lot. Even if she is mad at me, I'm happy that she is happy, we'll talking about it tomorrow or another day. At least I hope so.

Scrolling through my phone, and there is no signal. f*****g amazing. Rolling my eyes, I groaned in frustration. Having no idea even know how to get home. I took off my jacket suddenly feeling hot. Be so stressed, sexually, and mentally. At least I think so, I've never felt this way before.

I pushed my hair away from my face, another thing that's getting on my nerves. I remember having happy memories in the woods, but I haven't been out here in a while. I took in how beautiful it was; how I admired it. How I use to read out here? Why did I even stop? The cricket noises feeling my ears with a flashlight in my hand reading an enjoyable book. I miss that.

"Hey beautiful." I heard a deep voice say behind me. I looked back startled, but when I realized it was just Garret I relaxed. "You scared me." I said holding my hand to my chest.

"Don't hurt me." He said raising his hands in the air.

"I'm not going to hurt you Garret." I said softly shaking my head. I am not a violent person, usually.

"Never know which side of you I'm going to get." He said sitting next to me.

"What are you talking about?"

"Violent Scar, kissing Scar, or the one that avoids me."

"Garret," I sighed just what I need, "I don't avoid you... I just been busy, overwhelmingly."

"Well we kissed a couple of times-"

"It was just a kiss." I insisted.

"An amazing kiss-- your words and it was more than one."

'Okay it was a really good kiss. But I don't think about it anymore, I don't think about you anymore.' I wanted to say but didn't, fear that I might hurt his feelings. Ever since Jacob marked me, I haven't exactly understood my feelings. I just know I want Jacob. I want him anyway I can get him.

I shook my head, taking a swing of my drink. I stayed silent. I don't know how to answer to that, I did love our kisses, I love how he treats me period, he's a sweetheart but I already made a decision that don't I want him as a boyfriend, besides I'm with Jacob if we're even still together. I'm sure we are.

"I mean I get it, you have a mate now but you could still give a guy a call or a bat signal-- something."

I laughed, "Yeah I guess so," I said biting my lip hard. "I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." He said. He was slouched over, elbows on his knees. I put my hand on his head and put my fingers through his light curly black hair. He was handsome, he could have any girl he wanted. He is total catch. If things could have happened differently he could've had me. I know he would treat me right. But want Jacob, I crave him.

"Don't you have a mate?" I asked suddenly.

"Uh no, maybe, I have no idea. High ranking wolfs have a higher chance of being paired."

"Hmm, is there like a counsel or something?"

"Yeah... something." He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Why were you sitting here by yourself anyway? Miss Luna." He said bumping my shoulders.

I shook my head, "I'm no Luna. I don't even know what they're supposed to do."

"I wouldn't think too much about if I were you."

"Oh yeah, why not?"

"Luna's are supposed to be natural born leaders and caretakers. Given the title and the opportunity it'd just be instincts for you."

"Well let's hope you're right."

"I'm guessing you guys haven't fully mated yet."

"s*x?"

"Yeah."

"I don't know maybe we did, maybe we didn't." I said. I'm always horny around him, and I have constant wet dreams of us f*****g. Notwithstanding, we have not f****d yet and I sometimes I can't remember why ever agreed to something so stupid. We are waiting for me to know if I really want to be with him, but he already marked me so that ship has sailed. But I guess, I understand that he just wants to respect me in that way.

"You know it's hard to know that you're his."

"Oh yeah?" I whispered.

"Yeah," he chuckled softly. "Knowing that he has you in the way that I never will, makes me angry." I was speechless, I didn't know what to say, didn't know how to say it. I knew he had crush on me, but that's more than just a small crush. "You know, I've liked you since we were Freshmen's, but you started to date Kai and so he made me back off of you. And so, I did." He said looking down. "And when you broke up with him, I don't know if you noticed but I tried again but you weren't over him."

"I didn't notice, I'm sorry. I didn't think I would ever let myself date again, trusting a guy so soon was not going to happen."

Kai and I dated from the beginning of First year of high school to mid-Sophomore year. It took me a while to get over him completely. I was healing from physical and emotional wounds, I couldn't talk to anyone about it, even took Katlyn a while before she got me to open up to her about what he put me through.

"I understand." He said.

I put my hand under his chin and kissed his cheek. He put his temple against mine, "I want to kiss you so badly." He whispered. I shook my head against his, biting my lip. "No." I pulled away. "I can't do that."

"You can't or you do want to."

I put my head down, letting my hair fall in front of my face. "Both." I whispered. My heart just can't go in his direction. Maybe I'll want him in the future; but right now all I want is Jacob. I let out a heavy sigh and extended my legs. There was a tension wall rising between us, the silence was only seconds long but they felt like hours.

"I should go, and find my way home." I said not want to feel awkward anymore. I got up put my phone in my back pocket and took my sweater in my hand. He didn't get up, his head was down. "Hug?" I suggested.

He got up and gave me a long embrace, he gave me a kiss on the cheek. "You want me to walk with you a little?" He murmured in my ear.

"Yes," I sighed in relief. " I have no idea where I am and how to get out.

He took my hand, "I can drive you if want." We began to walk.

"No that's okay, I don't want to take you away from the party. Just bring to the pack house or something."

"It was over when you friend-zoned me." He said jokingly.

I gave a small smile, I'm glad he's taking this with a light heart. I don't know what I'd do if he didn't want to be friends anymore. Who's am I going to talk to in art class?

I let him lead me out, but first he had to go back to the party. He needed something from somebody. We walked back and one of his friends I guess.

"Hey man." Garret said as we walked up to a guy in a black hoodie and ripped jeans. He leaned against a tree with his arms crossed, a book bag by his feet.

"What's up?" The other guy said. Garret let my hand go and clapped his friend up hugging him. "This your girlfriend?" He asked.

I shook my head, "We are just friends." I said answering for myself.

"Yeah, apparently I got friend-zoned." He said raising his hand.

"Hate when that happens. Anyways you got the money?"

"Yeah I got it." Garret said. He reached into his back pocket and took out his his hand with money in it and handed it to the guy. And the guy reached into his back pack and took out a black small ziplock bag and gave it to Garret.

My mouth gaped open, when I realized what was happening right in front of me. This is a drug exchange. Garret did not just bring me in front of this s**t. My blood boiled, I could just slap him. But I didn't, not wanting to draw any attention.

Garret put the drugs in his pocket and put his arm around me. "Alright see you next time." Garret said.

The guy nodded his head and Garret and I walked away. I got so f*****g angry. Drugs! Since when did he do drugs.

When we walked far enough into the crowd I shrug his arms off me. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"That s**t you just did in front of me, is disrespectful as f**k!" I shouted but no one paid attention, everyone was to busy dancing to the music. I walked away from him. He took my forearm.

"Scarlett you're over reacting." He said.

I gave him a death glare, "Let. Go. Of. Me." I said through greeted teeth pulling my arm away from him.

It's one thing to buy drugs and do them; but its another thing when you do that s**t in front of me. It's disgusting and it's dangerous. I stormed my way out of the crowd, I think I lost him. I hope I did. I walked away and out of the bonfire, entering the woods by myself. I didn't know where to go, but I know I didn't want to be near self-destruct.

It was dark so, the fire light wasn't shinning were I stood. I took my phone from my back pocket and opened the flash from it. I walked away from the party, because I am that stubborn. I make a decision and no matter how stupid it may be, it'd take a lot to change my mind. So soon I got lost but I eventually found a road, an empty one. So I followed it. I'm not scared, nothing has ever happen to me before I was in the woods, nothing will happen now. I hope not.

I looked at my phone and I got 3 bars, I used it to call Grace.

"Hello." I heard her voice say on the other line.

"Grace hey."

"What's up."

"I'm lost."

"Your lost-- it's my room mate she says she is lost." She spoke in the backround to another person. "I thought you were at a party with Katlyn."

"It's a bonfire deep in the wood, and I ditched it."

"Now why would you do something as dumb as that?"

"I have absoultely no idea."

"I'm at an empty road."

"Okay-- alright just send me your location through your phone, Jack and I will come and get you. Do not move." She said. Jack is her boyfriend.

"Thank you so much."

"Yeah well, thank me by doing my laundry."

I sighed, "I'll do it. Just come and get me, its getting cold out here." I said.

"We are on our way." She said then hung up.

I put my jacket on and sent her my location. I sighed heavely. Then my phone vibrated, notifying me of a text message.

Jake: Baby?

I paused and stared at the word. I bit the inner of my mouth. I haven't heard form him for a week, I missed him but it's been a week I should be mad at him for taking so long to text me. He texted me again.

Jake: Where are you?

I hesitated but I replied.

Me: To be honest.. idk

Jake: What do mean you don't know?

Me: I dont know im lost in the woods somewhere

My phone rang immediately. I answered it, "What are you doing in the woods?"

"Hello to you too."

"Where are you?"

"I just told you, don't know."

He let out an heavy sigh, "Where is Katie?"

"Having the time of her life." I mumbled.

"SCARLETT where is she?" He demanded.

"She is at the party, she is ignoring me. Right now, I bet she is so drunk she won't remember anything tomorrow."

"I'm coming."

"Jacob you don't have to come, my roommate and her boyfriend are coming to get me."

"She knows where you are."

"I sent her my location on my phone, so yeah. You can stay where you've been for a week."

"Scarlett-" he tried.

"No, where have you been? You are asking me all these question but I haven't heard from you and all of a sudden you just text me and call me with all these questions. Are you in a w***e house? I bet you're f*****g some one else-" I rampaged.

"Scarlett-" he tried again.

"No! I genuinely hope you have fun." I said hanging up. I can admit, that was melodramatic. But he hasn't called me in days, so I have every right to be mad at him.

He called me again, I answered. "What do you want?" I said roughly.

"I coming to get you." He said then he hung up. ASSHOLE.

I called him back but he didn't answer. Now what? How does he even know where I am? Should I call Grace and tell her to not come.

I really want to see him anyway. So I texted her.

Me: dont come, jacob is coming to get me.

Grace: got to be f*****g kidding me

Me: ARe you even close?

Grace: 40 minutes away you are really far scar. is he closer?

I called Jacob. He answered. "I'm coming Scarlett."

"Okay, but how far are you."

"I can be there in fifteen."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." I said hanging up. I texted her to not come.
