Sienna’s POV.
Never, in the last 8 years, have I had my heart feel so light, so content. Never in my whole life would I have thought Lucas, our next Alpha, would be my mate, and accept me as I am. Bruised, battered, and damaged. I MUST be dreaming. I have never felt like this before. I still have a hard time believing he’s really there for me. That he really wants to help and protect me. It’s a feeling I can barely remember ever feeling. Today, was a great day! I just hope my night doesn’t ruin it too much. I’m already dreading going home.
Grabbing my books and locking my locker, I head out of the school slowly to walk back home. But when I get outside, someone’s waiting for me. And it’s not Lucas.
No knowing she was actually waiting for me; I pass by this bright smiled girl.
“Hey Sienna, right? Can I talk to you for a minute?” This bubbly girl asks.
Who is that girl? Why would she want to talk to me? Is this another mean joke?! Are the others watching me, filming me from somewhere? Am I going to get hurt again?!
I’m looking at this girl nervously with big scared eyes. I gulp nervously.
“T-talk t-to m-me……W-What a-about?” I’m so scared right now, my body is trembling like a leaf.
“I just wanted to see how you were doing. I know Lucas going to kill me for asking, but I really was worried after everything that happened in the hallways yesterday. Lana and her gang of bitches can be so cruel sometimes. I don’t know how her parents let her get away with half the crap she pulls! And Lucas seemed so nervous all last night and this morning when I talk to him.” She says, still in an excited voice.
Who is she really? She knows Lucas so well. Is she… OMG, could she have a thing for Lucas and wants for me to get the hell away from him?! She just pretending to be nice to get me away from Lucas, right?! I say to Brianna, freaking out.
“Are you ok? Your shaking… s**t! Lucas going to kill me!!” She says, facepalming herself.
“What?!” What does she mean, ‘Lucas’s going to kill her’?! Is she serious? Is he really a bastard behind his friendly face and sexy smile? She must have realized what she said when she saw the horrified look on my face.
“NO!! NO no no no no no!!! Not like, for real kill me, but like, he’s going to be REALLY mad at me for scaring you so much that your shaking! I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you!! s**t!” She says, trying to reassure me.
What do I respond to this girl? I need to know who she is; she’s really starting to freak me out!
“Who… W-Who are you?” I ask with a little uncertainty.
She looks at me, stunned for a second, then burst out laughing!
“I’m so sorry! I should have introduced myself first! I’m Amy, Lucas Best friend since we were in …well since we were in diapers!”
Oh! I sigh of relief. She's his best friend. Wait a minute, best friend? Was she the one he was talking about going swimming at lunchtime?
“Amy, your M-Mike’s mate, right?” I say.
“Yes, I am! “She says so proudly in a sing-song voice, shaking her head from side to side.
She’s funny, I like her! Brianna says.
“Look, I think we got off on the wrong foot, so let’s start back again!” She says, extending her hand toward me.
“Hi, I’m Amy, Lucas best friend since, forever. I was there in the hallway when that b***h pushed you. I was also there to see when you and Lucas found out you were mates. And that’s AWESOME!” She says, almost like she’s cheering.
“I really was worried about you. Especially after talking with Lucas” She says a little more serious.
“He seemed so worried about you. He didn’t want to tell me what it was about. We usually tell each other everything, but I get it, it’s none of my business. And I won’t pry on your private life. But I also want to make sure you’re ok. You, being mate with my i***t best friend, were bound to see each other more often and I’d really like us to be friends if you want to. Please say you want to!” She says, putting her hands together, pleading me like a child wanting an extra piece of cake.
Wow…she…Talks a lot, doesn’t she?! Brianna says to me.
I’m so overwhelmed by all the information I just got in a really short amount of time, I just look at her, my mouth slightly agape.
“I scared you, again, didn’t I? I ‘m sorry, I know I can talk a lot. But I really mean what I said.” She says with a small but genuine smile.
Being a little less uncomfortable, I try not fidgeting so much.
“It’s ok… I’m sorry too, f-for being this n-nervous… I’m not used to t-talking to people other than t-the teachers. “
“Sienna? Amy! What the hell! Tell me you did not just ambush her after I told you not too!”
Lucas!
He seems so made! Oh no… Amy! She said he was going to be mad at her!
He’s not going to…no he’s not like that right?!
“I-it’s not her f-fault, Lucas! III w-was just n-nervous talking with s-someone else! D-don’t b-be m-made at her p-please!” I plea whit him, putting myself slightly in front of Amy, as if protecting her from harm.
I don’t know what in the world possessed me to say something to protect Amy, but I did. My eyes, glossing up a little, unsure of how this situation’s going to turn out. What if I made a mistake trying to defend Amy? No, protecting someone should never be a mistake. Just like I wish, for so many times, that someone would protect me.
Looking at me, Lucas's mood changes drastically from angry, to nervous, and apologetic.
“I’m sorry, Sienna, I didn’t mean to scare you, but I asked Amy not to bombard you with her millions of questions and antics! She never listens, I should have known” He says, laughing out loud.
He’s not mad anymore! He seems … happy?! Why would he be happy, seconds after he was made at her?! It doesn’t make sense… I tell Brianna.
“Amy and I go way back,” He says slightly pushing her with his shoulders. “We grew up together, so she’s like my annoying little sister that keeps meddling in my affairs!” He says making a funny face at her, while she pulls out her tongue at him. They burst out laughing.They really seem close. I wish I knew what it was like, having siblings, someone who actually cares about you…
You do now Sienna! You just need to open your eyes and your heart. I know it’s really hard for you, after everything we’ve been through, but the feeling I’m getting from him, and for his friend for that matter, You CAN trust them! You CAN count on them. You just have to let yourself open up to the possibility. Brianna says to me, full of sincerity.
Why is my wolf such a smartass!? But thank goddess she is. I let out a little laugh, making Lucas and Amy turn to me. I stop, turning bright red.
“Sorry…” Turning to Amy with a little more resolve” Hi Amy, it’s n-nice to meet you. I’m Sienna, but you already k-knew that… T-Thanks for asking If I was ok… I will be now… “I say, twisting my fingers, a little nervous at trying to be nice to Lucas's best friend.
Amy goes to grab my hand, but Lucas stops her.
“Amy,” He says a little sternly “Please don’t grab at her like that. I don’t like it.” He says to her with a reproachful tone of voice.
Why would he say that to her? I know I’m uncomfortable with being suddenly grabbed, but why is he for me? Is he trying to protect me?! He was really serious when he said he was going to! Holy s**t!
“It’s ok Lucas, s-she doesn’t know…” Realizing I we’ve been talking for a good 20 minutes, I have to get home! I really don’t want my mother suspecting something! I’m already starting to fear what’s waiting for me there.
“I really wish I could stay here, talking with you longer, but I have to get home,” I say nervously.
Home… The last place on this earth I want to be.
“OMG, I’m so sorry for talking so much and keeping you here!! What a blabbermouth I am!” Amy says.
“You got that right” Lucas whisper, earning an elbow to the ribs from Amy.
“You be nice mister future Alpha, or no maple crème Brule for you tonight!” Amy threatens.
“No!! Please! I want some, you know that’s my favorite dessert!!” Lucas wines.
Now this sight, makes me laugh. Turning to Lucas, I nervously say
“I’ll see you tomorrow?”
Well, that sounded more like a question and not a statement! Brianna says snickering.
Shut up stupid wolf, he still makes me nervous! I reply to her.
“Absolutely, beautiful! I’m already counting the minutes until I see you again.” Lucas says, gently taking my hand, kissing it’s back., making me blush crimson red at the same time.
“Ook…Bye! “Taking my hand out of his, I start running toward my nightmare.
Will today be different than every other day this week?
