My Heart Aches for You by Abbie Davis (read novels website .txt) 📕

 ~~~Alex~~~

    I watched the time count down as it slowly went to 3:05 and then school was out. I was watching her make the dance poster as the teacher walked by us. She stopped and admired the poster as it was beautiful and they all knew it. She went to the front as Catherine sent it in for the teacher.

   I watched as Mrs. Nealson opened it up and showed the class the blue poster with dancing feet and happy face of the poster. Everyone was in awe at it till the teacher started to tell us what all was wrong with it. I looked at Catherine as she plugged in to her music and didn’t pay attention to it.

   The bell rung and I tapped her shoulder to let her know it was time for practice. She stood up and grabbed the green and blue backpack. I watched her move to the door and opened it as if nothing just happened in here. I looked at the teacher as she pulled the different things from it and made it look like she had did it. That was so wrong on so many levels.

“You know you just ruined a perfect piece of art,”I said as I left the room.

  I ran to catch up with Catherine as I noticed that Kate and Jacky were there waiting with her. I saw Kate lite up as Catherine was smiling down at the little girl going on about how she was a princess and I was the prince. I rolled my eyes as I went to see the little weirdos.

“You ready to out show Josh,”She said as I walked up.

“I have been doing that since I met him,”I said cocky like,”He is in my territory now.”

“Well I hope you know that the play is about a young madan girl and her wolf,”She said as we head to the stage,”He has to overcome his fear of her family since they are the Van Helsing.”

“Sounds familiar to me,”I joked with her.

“Ok I get it,”She defend,”We should have no problem with this.”

  We laughed and went into the building where Josh stood on stage acting out the wolf. He was bad and I felt insulted by it. I went to the stage and looked at the script in his hand. Act III Scene 5 was what he was on. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

“My dear Mandy why have you not told them,”I said as Josh stared at me,”I don’t fear your father as he has no hold on how I love you.”

“Well my dear Demetre,”Catherine said from the floor,”I have been wondering if this is correct for us to be us.”

“What do you mean by all of this?”

“I mean my father is the world known monster hunter and you are a simple werewolf. It would never work out with him.”

“But I will try to show him I’m not like the rest of them. That my heart aches for you and you alone.”

“That was beautiful Alex and Catherine,”Mrs. Young said,”I have my two leads back and they already got those lines down. Josh they need you back in technical theatre.”

  He nodded and looked at me like I was the deise here and not him. He handed the teacher the book and went to the back of the room. Catherine rolled up here as I got ready for the rest of that scene.

   We went over the placements of everything and then over how we are suppose to be. I let Catherine be my guide for that as she knew how I was suppose to be at. I had her hand in mine as it was the scene where her dad was going to catch the two of us here. I was leaning in as the teacher yelled cut out to us.

“Perfect as always you two,”She said,”It’s like you two are the two characters. You know their pain and their love of one another. I love it.”

“Well you could say we are them,”Catherine mumbled to herself.

  We left and I had the guys put her dirtbike in the bed of the truck. I had some questions I promised to answer for her today and I was going to do it. I got in as the others were there waiting for me. I looked over to see Catherine was in the front seat waiting for me to go. I sighed at her and pulled out of the school.

“So are you going to tell me,”She pressured me.

“Yes when no one can hear it,”I said as she leaned on my arm,”This is top secret and if someone hears it I could get into big trouble.”

“Well we got to go to the business first for your dad,”She said as I went to turn into the road heading there,”My mom would love to tell him off today.”

“I already got that one going,”I said as the building came into view.

    I walked up to the office where my mom was there chewing him out. Dad had followed me and the others as I walked up behind Mr. Morris. I placed my hands on my hips as I heard Jacky yell ‘Things are getting serious’. I put on my best glare as she faced me with an equal one plaster on her’s. I walked up as she walked to me and we locked in a stare off.

“What do you want Catherine?”She said with no tone to her voice,”For I’m kind of busy right now.”

“Mr. Morris can keep his job here for he is a hard working person that gets the job done,”I said like her,”So I don’t see why you are chewing him out for something so little now.”

“We don’t need people like him,”She said with ragged in her voice.

“He is what we need,”I said matching her,”That is what we got to look for in workers and not just who they are.”

“They’re monsters.”

“So one bit me not to long ago.”

“Where then?”

“Right on my arm in the same spot as they were.”

    I rolled my selve up to show the wolf like bite mark on my arm. Jacky rolled his and saw that I had it in the right place and everything. I had drew it on when Alex was a sleep in Math Elec and copied his. I made sure it looked real and worked on a story to back it up if she was to wonder how I got it.

“How did you get that?”She questioned.

“You see when I was having that seizures a wild wolf that was not from this land came up,”I started to see if I could make her seem crazy,”He bite me and I had to scream before it ran off and Josh didn’t see him. I hope that those werewolf stories you told me aren’t real or I’m in danger.”

  She looked at it then at Mr. Morris. She had taken the nut story I made up like two hours ago. Mr. Morris got his job back and us ‘kids’ all left the building. I got into the front seat as everyone else got into the back.

“How did you really get that?”Jacky asked,”I know you were lying about that.”

“I drew it when Alex was asleep in our Math class,”I said rubbing it off,”The story I made up in Digital arts while the teacher was bad mouthing my poster.”

“Well that was a good save there,”Alex said as he kissed my head,”We owe you one.”

“Then where are these answers I need,”I said leaning on his arm as he drove,”Those would be nice.”

“We were all bitten by the same wolf,”He said knowing that I wouldn’t stop,”He was after us for some reason and he took it out. He got my dad first then our mom. I was running with Jacky since he was only three at the time. He caught up to us and took my baby brother. I tried to fight him off but nothing worked one bit. Soon he took me as his victim and sadly it was a full moon that night as well as my birthday. He took us to the cave and we started a pack as he left us.”

“So you thought it was ironic you first turned on a full moon that day,”I pieced together,”And Kate was born into it and not bitten like all of you.”

“Pretty much,”He said smiling,”I have also found out that when you are around the age of ten to twelve that is when you can find your mate.”

“When did you find me,”I ask knowing I was his.

”When you first moved here. My mom took me to your house and I watched you save that kitten.”

  I watched his face as we pulled up to the house. It was the same as they had left it. I was once again swarmed by them and raised into the air as if I was a hero. I laughed at them all and let them carry me inside again. I looked around to see that there were four more people here.

“Sandra King is Paul's mate,”Alex said as I was placed on my feet,”Thomas Night is our dear K.C.’s mate. Mackenzie Light is Mason’s. Lastly Leo Vector is Lindsey’s.”

  I nodded as we went to his room for some privacy. He locked the door and took a seat on his bed with a notebook in his hands. He handed it to me and I opened it to see that it was all I wanted to know about in one place.

“For the questions you have on this,”He said,”If you ever need an answer on it just look through this book and find it.”

“So how did you know it was me?”I said sitting on his bed.

“Your scent was the most beautiful thing I had ever smelt,”He said in a trance,”It was like I was being pulled to you and the world didn’t make sense to me till I saw you.”

“Puppy dog moment,”Paul yelled through the door.

“No one asked you,”Alex said as I gave a laugh.

“Just saying man,”He called back,”You were all over her like a puppy.”

“You can’t talk,”Alex countered.

   There was silence as he must have got burned on that one. I laughed at the childish behavior but I can’t talk. I looked into his eyes as he gave me a laugh as I let mine go again. It was like he never had left me in the first place and life just made sense to us all at that one
