"You have a mustang but live in an alley? How dose that work?" Amber said looking at the place that Jaren called home.
"Have you heard of a little thing called a job? I just chose to live in the alley I don't have to. I find it better to spend my money on me not on rent. By the way if you want you can stay here with me. I mean it would be safer for you and I would feel a lot better if you did stay with me." Jaren was very embarrassed but he knew that it would make him feel better to have her close by him at all times.
"I would love to stay here with you but don't lie to me about why you want me here. You and I both know that it is not because I am weak but because we both have lost our family and being lonely is not the way to live." Amber looked as if she wanted to say more but could not get it out.  
"Ok fine then you might want to get all you stuff together right now. On second thought lets drive over there. Shall we my lady?" Jaren held out his bare arm out to Amber. 
This was when Amber realized that Jaren was only wearing basketball shorts with no T shirt. She blushed and looked at his bare arm and put hers through but did not walk when he started walking and pulled him back a little bit. 
"Don't you need a tux or did you not have money left over from my dress? If you don't have one let me handle your left over money to get a tux for you?" Amber had her eyes looking right at his and they were not like hers they had a beautiful tint of ruby red in them. 
"How did you know that I bought your dress I could have had it from an ex girlfriend? Ya right I have not had a girlfriend being what I/ we are. About the tux sure you can get me one but I have to approve. Also I really want to be upfront with you I am a lot older than you I mean I can drink and you cant so this is going to be a little weird for me. I just want you to know I know that you can drink because of what we are but I am going to be a little bit strict on how much you drink." Jaren was skipping over his words as he said this for he desperately wanted to tell her how he already felt about her. 
"Ok dad. Hay for your info I only drink champagne so chances are that what they have there wont even appeal to me at all. Also I have to be upfront with you I may look younger than you but my brain and strength is just as good as yours if not better. Oh and the whole girlfriend thing I cant see why you don't have a girlfriend you are really handsome in your own way." Amber had now disconnected her arm from Jaren's. 
"Maybe we should just go to your place and pack and come back here to drop it off then get my tux for the party. Wait you are ok with going to a party right?" Jaren was already blushing by what Amber had said to him.   
"I am not a baby I love to go to parties. Lets just get my stuff here because if you act anymore like my dad I'm going to rethink moving here with you." Amber was pulling on Jaren's arm as she said this.
So they were off. Amber thought that the car ride would be more awkward but it was as if they were best friends not two people who's lives had just been thrown together yesterday. The ride was fast to her place they packed all of her stuff into his car. All she had was her dress and a bag of necessities to get cleaned up. So they were very fast getting all of her two things. They then went back to Jaren's place and dropped off her stuff. 
"Wow that was so hard to get my stuff I mean I did not think it would fit in your car." Amber said with a very sarcastic tone. 
When Amber looked at Jaren she felt like as if she was looking at her own man but she knew that what she saw in his eyes was not what she hoped it was. 
"So where am I going to sleep? Do you have any other mattress or are we going to share this one?" Amber said blushing a lot at this point. 
"Well I am fine with sharing but I can also get a new mattress for you. On second thought we will get you a new mattress tomorrow, but for tonight we will have to share because I will not let a lady sleep on the ground like you have been and I don't want to sleep on the ground either." Jaren turned bright red but he covered it up so well that Amber did not notice. 
"I don't mind sharing. By the way we should probably get going to buy your tux. It's almost night time." Amber said with a great eagerness to leave.  
"Ok but as I said before I must approve of the tux." Jaren knew what Amber was planing but he had something up his sleeve as well. 
When they arrived at the mall Amber quickly found the tux shop. They walked in and Amber told Jaren to go outside real fast while she chose some tuxes for him. When he came back he saw a mountain of pink and purple tuxedos. They were the kind that even Austin Powers would have declared not groovy. 
"If you really want me to wear this then I will but remember that I am going to be dancing with you. So if you want to dance with barney the purple dinosaur then I will wear this." Jaren knew Amber a lot better than most and he knew that she would stop picking out stupid tuxes for him if it meant dancing with a freak.  
As Jaren thought Amber went back to looking and brought out the best and the most handsome tux she could find. She brought it out to him and he tried it on. It fit like a glove on him and made him look so fine that Amber was rethinking the purple tux out of fear of losing him to some of those gorgeous girls that go to parties on Friday nights. 
"Ok lets go before I change my mind and decide to get the purple Dino outfit. By the way you look really handsome." Amber was feeling hopeless about the way she felt about Jaren. 
They bought the tux and were on there way to the party when Jaren announced that they were not going to the party tonight but tomorrow. There was silence from Amber no emotion at all Jaren was worried but Amber was just to sad to talk to him right now. 
"Amber whats wrong? You seem upset and I know its not about the party thing." Jaren had tried to touch her leg but he retracted his hand before it got there. 
"I have no way to tell you what I want to with out a negative response. I really don't know what to do. I might and kinda hope that I am over reacting and that your response will not be as bad as I am thinking." Amber was crying at this point but she tried to hide it by putting her face in her hands. 
"Tell me please. It dose not have to be now but please when we get back to my... our house? I don't want you to be crying all night at least not because of me, I may seem heartless and I was but well..... you have helped me to change that." Jaren was positive that Amber felt the same as he did about were their relationship should not be but were they wanted it.
The car ride was still boring but it was not as awkward. When they finally got home Amber had stopped crying and Jaren was almost jumping up and down. Amber went and sat down on the mattress and let out a deep sigh.  
  "I will tell you but if you react in a bad way then I am going to move out because my ally will always be empty because I have sacred everyone else away from my ally." Amber said this like a warning not a funny joke. 
"I would never want you to leave so I promise that I will not react badly. Please I beg you tell me." Jaren was being so mushy and lovey that Amber was pretty sure that he felt the same way as her. 
"I like you. Not in the friends way I know this is fast but you and I are the same and we both have been alone for a while. I am tired of being alone I want to be with some one and I have fallen for you." Amber had moved over to Jaren as she made this speech and was so close to him that she could hear him breathing.  
"Then don't be alone. I know that this is not the way me and you should be but I do know that we are not supposed to be alone. So I think I will just go with my heart for the first time in my life." Jaren had his hands around her waist and had pulled her closer to him. 
Amber was laying on his chest and listening to his rapid heart beat when they both heard the sound of loud sirens headed toward their street. They both knew what that meant and they jumped far away and both went into their wolf form not trying to make much of a fuss that they were there.  They both knew that together they would be found but they did not even think of splitting up. 
" Amber run now I will follow you but as you said you are stronger and this is not my fight, at least not this time." Jaren was in his heart hating every word he just said because he is more of the protective type not the sit back and let the girl fight type. 
He was really not liking that the police were here. His past told a lot about why the cops were after him and Amber now. When he was only 12 years old when he found out what his power was and in that time he ended up killing his mom, dad, and the worst one for him to stand his little sister. He would never forget what she looked like. She looked a lot like Amber only her eyes were a neon green color. He knew that he made it to were him and Amber were the only ones left because his sister would have become what he had if only she had lived.
“Jaren!” Amber was running back to Jaren who came to only to find three cops standing right above him.
“Amber stay far away please!” Jaren had leaped up off of his back that some how he was laying on.
Jaren knew, or thought he knew, that if Amber got close to him she would most likely die just like his sister. So while she was still far away he used all the anger that he had for the cops to create a big blast of fire. He did this so fast that he could not see that Amber had not stopped, but instead was still coming his way.
