I look up at the sounds of footsteps to see Robert running in to pull his girlfriend off of him. Archie was giving her a soft, sad look as her words caught up with him and he looked down at the ground to find the proper words to say to her.I'm sorry, I am. We stayed up to talk so l could make sure he wasn't confused about anything and I just didn't think to text you guys.""We were here worried and you didn't even care," Jenny whispered as angry tears started to fall down her face as Robert kept his arm wrapped around her waist."I'm here, Melissa, we're here. Everything's okay and I'm so sorry, I should've been thinking but it was a high-stress situation and the thought slipped my mind" Archie said as he walked to her to hug her as she tried to compose herself.Robert turned towards me and gave me a half hug. "Hey, sorry about all the lying the past couple of months. It's just something we had to do."I nod my head, smiling at him. "No, it's okay, l completely understand."I heard mo

"Vampire Diaries? You watch that?" Lila and Jenny both nod in excitement while she clicks on an episode. "Of course we do, we gotta see if Elena ends up with Damon in the end.""Okay, good, I was about to say that l would have to leave if you weren't on Damon's side," I tell them with a chuckle as we all get comfortable to try and forget about all the horror that was happening outside involving our three boys.After about two hours of watching the show with tons of conversations in between, Jenny lay on the floor along with Lila on a bunch of blankets to stretch out while I lay out on the couch."Henry, have you seen this season?" Lila asks from her spot under a blanket on the floor."Oh, I've finished the show, but I rewatch now and again because of how amazing the plot is," I tell them."I swear, if you spoil anything for us, I will slap you, Jenny says, making all of us chuckle and I hold my hands up in surrender."I won't spoil anything, I promise!" The entire time we were watchin

"It means that if I'm anywhere near you on the full moon, itll probably end up in us having s*x and l don't know if we're both ready for that," he tells me. I chuckle, shaking my head. "I think we're more than ready." "I just don't want to scare you away or anything." I chuckle again, moving forward before straddling his hips to wrap my arms around his neck. "You won't scare me away, nothing will. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.". He smiled, leaning up to place a soft kiss to my lips and I pulled away so we don't go too far like in the bath. I hugged him, pressing the side of his head to my chest since I was finally taller since I was sitting on his lap. He sighed against my shirt before pulling away to look up at me with this beautiful smile that made my heart melt into his and that's when he said it. " Love you." My eyes widened, shocked that he had said it because I knew that we loved each other but it was like we were battling each other to figure out who wou

I get in my car after the dance, wanting to just drive as fast as I can to get to the pack house because tonight was the full moon, which means someone's getting lucky tonight.. for the first time. I woke up this morning to Archie kissing my neck and grinding against me so he was forced to stay home by his parents because none of us want me getting fucked in the school bathroom. After everything that happened with my dad, I was grounded for one weekend, but my dad never brought up what I said to Mom or me and l just assumed that he just moved on from it. But I had decided to stay away for a bit because if I was with him for too long, I would probably say something I would regret or Jasmine would bring it up. So whenever I go home, I hang out with my mom and sister, but once my dad comes in, I make an excuse that I'm going to bed or going to shower. I pull into the dirt road and stop at the gate where the guards give me a soft smile. The guy standing there with a gun slung over his

I woke up with the sun streaming in through the curtains, irritating my eyes with how bright it was. I lay there for a few minutes, trying to ignore the light, but knew that once I had woken up, I wouldn't go back to sleep for hours so I crawled out of bed and out of Archie's arms that were still wrapped around my waist from last night. I feel the slight ache in my ass from last night, but ignore it as I pull on some of his shorts, not even thinking about putting on my briefs.I make my way to the kitchen to start making coffee and pulpit some bread and eggs to cook some French toast along with sausage and bacon to switch it up from the pancakes I always make when I'm here. As I wait for the stove to heat up, I grab my coffee once it's done and go out to the balcony to sit for a few minutes. Mymind wanders as I stare at the fountain that's across the street that's already flowing with water and spewing it into the pool underneath it. Flashes of our night come to my mind and I have t
