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

   I was laying on Alex’s stomach as my phone started to buzz like crazy. I picked it up to see that it was Kristy calling me. I put it on speaker as she squealed like a little girl that got to meet her favorite rock star.

“Guess what Cathy and Alex,”She said as we laughed.

“What?”We said together.

“The new skating rink they were building is finally up and running,”She squealed again,”So get Jacky, Alicia, Kate and that little Layne and get your little…”

“Okay just don’t cuss,”I said as I sat up,”We’ll be over there as fast as we can.”

“You better be or I’ll come and hunt you down,”She warned and hung up.

   I looked at him as we both raced down the stairs like little kids. I found Layne and Kate playing outside and told them to get in the truck right now. They did as Alex and the other two walked out to join us. I took the front seat as Alex got into the driver’s seat.

  He pulled out as we all were excited to go skating. The new ring was suppose to be like Skate Town but had all these different ring that you could try out. There were two that had courses you do, two were the regular rings, and one for the couples skate. I was excited to go for I been there when they were first building it.

   I took Alex’s hand as he seemed to be happier now that we were back together. I looked forward as this kind of fire looking type of wolf walked out of the forest. He’s new around. I looked at him as his eyes locked on mine as if waiting for me to leave Alex’s side. They looked like Mathew’s eyes to be excate.

  I watched them pass by us as I was slowly becoming scared of those red eyes. I looked at Alex as he had began to rub circles into my hand. I calmed down as I heard Kate growl at him. That was cute of her to do.

“Don’t worry Catherine,”Alicia said,”We got your back.”

“Like the team,”I said facing her.

“For we are family now.”

“Glad to have you back Alicia. Kristy missed you like crazy.”

“I know and I might have threaten Alex with the number eighteen.”

“Alicia! That is only for my mom or yours.”

“What is that?”Layne and Kate asked together.

“The worst tantrum in the history of them,”I said showing them the video,”The first phase is scream as loud and high as you can. Next it is the fist that will punch you if you get to close. Third you don’t do anything but cry all day long. Lastly you put all of them together and hope that no one is near you to get hurt.”

“That scary,”Kate said as it finished.

   I nodded as we drove the rest of the way there. It was peaceful as the quietness seem to be hanging everywhere now. I looked out the window as the multicolor building showed up on my right. I looked at it with amazement as it was beautiful to just look at. I was just in awe by it all.

  Alex pulled up by Kristy and we all piled out with each other holding hands. I saw that my cousins were here and I wanted to mess with them. I walked over and went to wave but faked another seizures in front of them. They both began to freak out as Alex had to fake helping me get over it. I stood up and the two of us walked back to the others trying not to laugh our heads off at them.

“Ready to skate!”Kristy said all too happily.

“Of course,”I said pulling her in,”That’s why we are here now isn’t it.”

   We laughed and went to enjoy our day on skates. We walked in and it was amazing. There was a blue floor, green floor, and pink floor. We got our skates and for about three hours we took on all the floors. Alex and me had a time racing each other on the obstacle course while Kate and Layne were on the couples skate. We had a good time and left after a little while.

   I looked out the window of my room. It’s been a week from the skate thing we did and Alex had distance himself from me. I don’t know why but he has been doing this for a while now. His dad had past away from a heart attack that made no sense to me but hey that’s what we were told. Kristen was with me as I stared out the window.

“Maybe you should call him,”She said looking at me,”That could get him to hang with you again.”

“I think it’s more than that Kristy,”I said getting up from my window seat,”He seems distracted for a reason and I’m not allowed to know about it.”

“Have you tried to go to his house?”She questioned.

“Twice,”I said sitting on the bed beside her,”They pushed me out the door and even gave me a ride home.”

“That’s harsh.”

“Yeah. They all seem to have started this whole I can’t be near you thing.”

“Alicia has too now that I think about it.”

“Yeah it’s weird.”

“Why do you think they are doing it.”

“Maybe because it has to do with losing Alex’s dad.”

   She nodded and turned on my TV. I looked out the window and saw nothing but a blur of red. I looked at it as it followed my every move. Weird. I walked down stairs thinking it was just a regular wolf and it would go away if I walked outside. That was my first mistake. He jumped on me as I let out a scream. That only brought out the rest of his small pack. They circled me as he had somehow dragged me into the forest and away from the house.

  I stood up as he joined their circle. I looked around and my bullies were circling me closer than the other six were now. I watched as they snapped at me and I went to run but they blocked every chance I had. I looked around and didn’t see Alex or any of the pack that I loved. I let a single tear roll down my cheek as they got closer to me.

   Walker turned and came over to me with a wicked grin on his face. He rubbed my cheek as I was crying for my life now. He felt up my body as the scene with Marcus went through my mind. Walker had the same built as him and he seemed to have the same want. He went around me and felt up my back as I went into more tears.

“No Alex to save you now,”He cooed in my ear,”This time no sending my brother off or should I say getting rid of him.”

“He was your brother,”I said in a trance.

“Yes and now he is no more,”He said as his hand slapped my face sending me down,”But now I can take one of the things that Alex love.”

“But why me,”I begged,”I did nothing.”

“He took away my family!”He growled,”So I took his and now I’ll take his mate away from him.”

  I looked up and saw him turn into a brown wolf with pure black eyes now. I laid there on the ground as he jumped at me. I closed my eyes ready for death but it never came to me. I turned to see the one black wolf that I cared about. Alex came to save me.

  I looked around as around twenty or so wolves walked out and circled me. They all came to my aid. I watched Alex and Walker fight as everyone took someone on. I felt two hands pulling on me as I quickly turned to see Layne and Kate tugging on my arm.

“Come on,”Kate said as I stood up.

“We got to get you home,”Layne said.

   We began to ran as the others were in a heated battle with the others. I turned to see Alex getting rid of Walker as he turned to me with loved full eyes. I looked at him as Kate pulled my hand into the direction of my house. I looked and saw my dad was standing there looking around as if searching for something. He spotted me and ran to me with Kristen trailing behind him.

“You’re alright,”Dad said holding me,”You’re going to be alright.”

“Dad we got to go help them,”I cried into his chest,”We can’t let them fight them alone.”

“This is out of our hands Catherine,”Dad said holding me at arm's length,”This is their world not ours. Did he tell you that before you left?”

“NO. But we have to help them.”

“Catherine we can’t.”

“Daddy! We got to help them!”

“Catherine Elizabeth Clark this is out of my hands! I can’t interfere with this!”

  I cried as Kate and Layne disappeared back into the woods. Kristen wrapped her arms around me as they took me back inside the house. I looked at the woods wanting Alex to run out and hold me. But that never happened to me for right now I’m at war with Life.

  Kristen left to go home since her mom called wanting her to help with the level eighteen Alicia was throwing. I walked up to my room with Ace running around my legs as I didn’t have a care in the world now. All I wanted was to help out the pack against them.

  I threw myself down on the bed as I heard the howls in the distance. I curled into a ball and held onto my legs as I laid down in the soft comfort of my bed. I looked toward my window wanting one of the pack to come through it and tell me everything was going to be alright.  

~~~Alex~~~

   We took care of that pack
