Thank you so much for the comments and all!! I’ve got over 3000 reads!! That’s mad!! I love it!! I didn’t expect to get so much!! I love you all!! I hope you don’t mind but I’m making Jake the same age as her. I would prefer it if he was older hope you don’t mind!
Angela was ok with going to Seattle instead of Los Angeles when I asked on Thursday . We had agreed she would stay in my house Friday and leave early Saturday morning. I couldn’t really do anything in the way of changing until Saturday. I replied back to my mum’s emails as soon as I got home. I don’t want her to go mad at me again. That left the rest of the night with nothing to do. I had all my homework done, even some that were due for next week.
I sat on my bed for a while playing the CD Phil got me for my birthday but I was getting bored out off my mind. There was a sharp pain in my chest and I nearly doubled over because of it. I tried to cover it up like the rest but it was like a whole new set off pain. I must have let my mind wander so much I had let my guard down. I never new I was holding in so much pain and it was just for Jacob. Thinking his name made the pain increase. I missed him so much. He probably doesn’t even care how hurt I am over him.
I dragged myself to the window holding in my chest. Hopefully some fresh air would help my heart continue beating. I opened the window and stuck my head out. The cold wind blew my hair in all directions but it helped clear my mind. I couldn’t let the pain take over my life; I had to go to Seatle Saturday and try to sort my life out. My eyes had subconsciously closed. I imagined that the pain was fire and I threw a blanket over it, it was still there but covered up.
Slowly the pain started to dull and breathing got easier. I was shivering now from the cold. A twig snapped and my eyes flashed open looking in the direction I thought it came from. I only saw darkness and shadows of trees but when a shadow started to move and a large figure appeared my heart went wild.
A soft whine came from the figure and more twigs snapped as it moved. I leaned my head out more to try and get a better look at it. It was big and was obviously some sort of animal. It whined again and strangely I recognised it.
“You the one who wouldn’t shut up yesterday” I whispered at it. It probably couldn’t hear or understand but I still did. “What you want now?”
The figure stepped closer and its form became clearer. It was a wolf. It didn’t look nasty though, its head was ducked down and his ears were flat. It was the biggest wolf I have ever seen if I was down there it would no problem be taller than me.
A tug on my heart told me I should go down. It didn’t look scary at all, well not like this. I moved so I was sitting on the window ledge and stared at it. It didn’t make any sign of moving “Do you not have something else to do?” Its only answer was to sit down and stare at me. I couldn’t see his eyes as the shadow was blocking them from my view. “Do you?” I knew it couldn’t answer but it brightened up my mood for a little bit just talking to it. Yeah I know, I was talking to a giant wolf from my window. My mood brightened when it shook its head, it was probably shaking a flee off but it looked like a no to me.
“Do you understand me?” I questioned.
My mood darkened a little again when there was no reply, only staring. It gave in a sniff and slowly moved his head. Was he nodding? Can he actually hear me? I smiled brightly at it. “That is so cool” It made a little noise in his chest, the wolf can not be laughing.
“Can you actually understand me?” It would be really upsetting if it was only randomly moving his head. It nodded again only more quickly. I felt like jumping around and clapping my hands.
“Bark” I needed more evidence it did understand.
It let out a low grumble before giving a small bark. I did clap my hands this time. When does a wolf ever understand you?
There was a low thumping noise and I looked around for what it was, my eyes stopped on a something moving behind the wolf. Its tail was wagging! I was in love with this wolf. “You are mega cute!” I cooed at it. “Can I keep you?” It would be so much fun to see people’s faces when they see my pet wolf. I hope it will bite Mikes butt away from me. It did that low grumbling wolf laugh again. I don’t know how Charlie would react to a wolf in my bedroom though.
I didn’t know what else to do with the wolf. It was just sitting wagging its tail as I stared at it. The wolf let out a soft whine and lay down, putting his head between his paws. “Aww, what’s the matter?” I called to it; my voice was quiet so I didn’t wake Charlie. It let out a little cry. I wanted to run over and hug it. I got of the window and the wolf jumped up crying again. Does he not want me to go? “Stay, I’m coming down” at my words the wolf’s tail started wagging again; I swear his tongue was hanging out off his mouth.
I closed the window quietly and grabbed my coat, tip toeing down the stairs. I grabbed the keys and waited for a minute to see if Charlie was moving. The house was silent. When I got to the side of the house, were my window was facing, the wolf was still there. It was massive, bigger than a horse. I knew it was big but being so close to it really showed its size. It wasn’t looking at me but had its head down and pawing at the ground. Can a wolf be nervous? As I walked closer I could see it was a russet brown colour.
I stopped a few feet away from it. Its gigantic head moved so it was staring at me. I swear I recognised those eyes but I couldn’t peg who they reminded me off. I lifted a hand without realising it and placed it on it chest, just below its chin. The fur was soft and matted with mud. It made a grumbling noise and lowered it self down so I could put a hand on its head.
Every time my hand touched him a jolt of electricity flowed threw me, like what it used to do with Jacob. Strangely it didn’t hurt to think off him.
I don’t know how long I was stroking the wolf for but somehow I ended up sitting on the ground with its head on my lap. The sky was getting brighter and I had no sleep. I needed to get into the house before Charlie woke up. I tried to move back but the sleeping wolf on my legs was hard to get away from. I gently pushed its head but it didn’t move. I pushed harder but it wasn’t working at all.
“Move you fat dog” I whisper yelled at it while still pushing its head.
It growled a little before moving his head onto me more.
“No, the other way!” I continue pushing and slowly one of his eyes opened.
“Well good morning, now please move your head” It quickly jumped up. Standing up my self I brushed off my legs.
“I have to go in” I told it. If anyone else could see this they would think I was mad.
It whined a little before nodding its head. I walked closer to it and wrapped my arms around its neck. It was like a living radiator, no wonder I wasn’t cold threw the night. Pulling back I stroked its head for the last time and went back into the house. My chest was long forgotten, it had taken away the pain. I looked out my bedroom window as the wolf ran back into the forest. It seemed happier as well. Hopefully it won’t start its howling again.
I looked at the clock, half five, another hour or so off sleep. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
Friday morning I was exhausted. I should have gone to sleep like the wolf did. I’m not going to tell anybody about last night. It would just make me seem crazy. Who in the right mind talks to wolves?
“I can’t wait until schools over” Angela called at me as soon as I drove into the schools parking lot. I laughed at her enthusiasm “Its going to be amazing.
“Its only a sleepover Angela”
“ but I haven’t had one in years” I rolled my eyes. “Put your bags in my truck”
She nodded and threw her clothes bag in the front and turned to smile at me again.
“You’re in a good mood this morning?” She looked over me.
I frowned at her “What’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing, its just good to see”
School for once was fun. I was in a good mood and even Mikes flirting didn’t get me down.
“Why are you so happy?” Mike questioned as we walked to the parking lot. Angela went to her locker to get her books for the weekend so that just left me and him.
“Why does everyone keep asking that?” Angela kept mentioning it threw the day and even a few teachers commented. To be honest it was getting annoying.
He shrugged “I haven’t seen you so happy since… you know”
I only nodded.
We reached my truck and said a quick bye. I turned the cab heating on while I waited on Angela. I asked Charlie yesterday afternoon if it was ok for her to stay and he happily agreed. He said something about good to see me being social again.
Angela pulled me out off my thoughts as she slammed the truck door. “Let’s get this party started” she sang.
I don’t think this chapter is that good; I had no idea what to do with the wolf. In the next chapter she talks to Jake. I don’t want to give anything away so you’re going to have to wait! Bad news though :L Big exams coming in a few weeks and I’m being forced to revise so no uploading for maybe a month or more… I’m sorry I just want to do well in these! Wish me Luck!! X
