Trouble, Me =/ [novels for beginners txt] 📗

it Axel. He forgot about me, end of story. He doesnt deserve to learn about you, and doesnt deserve my time.

I block my wolf out after that. Who's side is he on? Mine, his human or some guy hes never met. We left before Axel came along. Most werewolves shift around thirteen, but I first shifted when I was 15. I wanted to run, and find Matt, but I couldnt. He made it clear he didnt want me in his life.

 

"I have something to tell you." We say at the same time, so I tell him, "You go first Matt," with a smile.

"Um, I'm moving." He tells me.

"Me too..." I say. He looks up at me shocked. 

"Really?" He seems to be deep in thought. "But... Um... Never mind." He shakes his head.

"At least have your number!" I say happily, recalling the events of yesterday making me smile even more. But I wasnt expecting his reply.

"Cade... I dont think us staying in contact is a good idea. Yesterday was a mistake and I regret it ever happening. Good bye Cade." With that he walks away, leaving me there with my mouth hanging open.

 

I feel pressure hit my calf and I almost growl, until I realize I already am. Tessa, George, Kyle, and even Matt are looking at me. The growl was deep, so I play it off like I was clearing my throat. They look relieved, except for Matt. He looks like hes remembering something. 

"What's up?" Kyle nudges Matt with his elbow, snapping him out of it. He asked it so quietly that it would be inaudible to the human ear but since I'm a werewolf, I could hear it clearly.

"Hm? Oh, nothing. Just... Thinking." He responds vaguely. 

"About?"

"Noth-"

"Matthew Elliot Frey, you better tell me or I swear to God I will tickle uou." His entire face heats up, like a fire was placed a few inches in front of him, at Kyle's words, and my, my, was it hot as fuck. I mean uh... I um. That didnt happen. I never said that. I forgot how ticklish Matt was, but now I remember how much I used to tease him for it and I would tickle him all the time. As if he senses my smirk, he turns his eyes to me. If it's even possible, his face turns even more red.

"Fine, fine. Something happened yesterday and it's been on my mind. I'll tell you the rest later." He says, even quieter than before, after looking away from me. But, his cute blush still stands. Fuck! Ugh. Why did he have to mess up my mind? Although, if it's what I think it is, I'm glad hes thinking about it, in a way. In another, I'm nervous he'll figure it out. I mean, if he really is... my... still cant say it. But if he is, maybe he'll have to figure it out someday.

But hes not.

Chapter eleven

 ~Matt~

 

"So what happened?" Kyle asked as we walk out of the school to my car.

"Well um... a... cat... a cat, ran out in front of my car and I had to swerve, but I almost crashed with the girls in the car, and if I did that... that's the second time since school started. It's only December." I say, and while its mostly the truth, that's not all. I was thinking about the wolf, and Cade. Oh, and the memories. Why would I have a ton of memories, of just someone's eyes? And an asshole none the less? I caught him looking at me today, and I could see the cocky, and stupidly sexy, smirk playing on his lips.

God, those lips.

"Oh wow. Are they okay?" He asks, suddenly worried.

"Yeah. Jade just had a bruise on her leg this morning from hitting it on the door, but Sky was fine." I tell him. He nods, and we approach the car. I look up and see two guys with her. What's with finding her with a new person every day? "Hey Pumpkin." I say, approaching them. Although the two males have their backs turned to me, I know who one is immediately. Ugh.

"Hey Matty, Kyle." Sky says, walking around the two over to me, causing them to turn around. "Matt, you obviously know Cade, but this is-"

"Drew?" I'd completely forgot Kyle- well, apparently Cade too- had a little brother, but now that I've seen him, (unlike with Cade) I remember him. "Hey!" He pulls me into a hug and I see his oldest brother glaring daggers at me, but Sky lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Hey brother! I've missed you." 

"I missed you too." I tell him, even though I just fully remembered him now, I guess I always knew Kyle had a younger sibling. And I did miss him, in a weird way. I dont know. I dont know half the things that go on inside my brain.

"Cade, I forgot to ask, are you bringing Callie to the Winter Dance?" Andrew turns around to ask his brother. 

"Yes." He grumbles.

"Who's Callie?" I ask, Kyle, not Cade.

"Its none of your business dipshit, but my girlfriend." Cade growls, even though I wasnt even turned towards him.

"Hey!" The other three exclaim at his name calling.

"It was a simple question dipshit." I mock. 

"And? You didnt have to ask it asshole."

"And? You didnt have to answer it, asshat." He seems taken back by my comment, which gives me enough time to say, "Now, I have a sister to pick up, so I'm gonna go." His eyes narrow at the fact that I 'disrespected' him and his stupid 'authority'.

"Can I get a ride from Drew?" Sky asks.

"Sure I guess." I sigh. "Who's riding with you guys?" I ask.

"Just my brothers." Drew says. I nod and Kyle, Drew, and Sky walk off.

"Dont hurt her. Do anything and I swear to God-" I start to say to Cade but I get cut off.

"I thought I told you not to test me Matthew." He growls.

"Hmm... You know, I dont really give a fuck what you say, so I dont recall this." I say in a sickly fake sweet voice while opening my car door. He goes to say something else but I get in and start the engine before he can, cutting off any noise he was about to make. He walks in front of my car right before I'm about to pull out, making me slam on my brakes. His signals for me to roll down my window, and I do so, but not without rolling my eyes. Its only then that he steps out from in front of me, but only to my window. "What's your problem??" 

"You." He says back.

"Really? Would you mind explaining that one?" I growl, rolling my eyes. Again.

"You know, if you keep rolling your eyes they're going to get stuck. Dont do it."

"Just for you." I give him a quick, bitter smile, and continue. "Okay, if you're not going to explain what the hell is wrong with me, I'mma just go." I say, and step on my gas pedal, praying that his foot isnt under my tire. Fortunately (or not?) it isnt. I know we dont get along, but I know what that pain is like, and I dont wish it upon anyone. I speed to get Jade, and I feel guilty as I see her standing out in the cold. (Okay, it was like 40°F but I'm always cold so...) "Jade, I'm so sorry. Some sh- crap happened at school so I had to stay later. I'm really sorry."

"Its fine. Wheres Skylar?" She asks.

"Shes riding with Drew and Kyle." I dont bother mentioning Cade. Speaking of, I cant ignore the pang of jealousy that coursed through me, when they mentioned... Cassie? Carry? I dont really know, but the second he said she was his girlfriend... God, what's wrong with me? Why wouldnt he have a girlfriend? Hes the perfect specimen, anyone would want him.

"Oh, okay." She says and pretty soon we're at our house, and I pull into the driveway right before Cade was going to. I smirk at him and he rolls his eyes. I walk up to the door and open it, but stop when I hear voices inside. Dad shouldn't be home. 

"Oh! Hey Matthew. I see you've arrived home." Someone stops at the top of the stairs going up, in the entryway. "How was the car trip?" Then her son comes to her side, and I cant do it. I turn around and walk quickly to my car, and speed out of the driveway, ignoring every look I get, and every person that calls to me. (Not that it was many, I could only hear Skylar, Jade, and Kyle)

I didnt think this day could be any worse.

Chapter twelve

 ~Cade~

 

"Bye Sky." We all say to the girl leaving my vehicle. I'm about the leave but I look at the door, and see Matt tense. Then he practically runs back to his car a speeds away. I see Kyle about the jump out to go after him, but I stop him. "We're going together." I say. 

"Wait, I need to stay here. Sky and I are actually-" I cut Drew off.

"Yeah yeah whatever, get out if you need to. Just hurry up with it." I didnt mean for it to, but it came out in a growl. He quickly jumps out at my (accidental) alpha command and I slam down out the gas pedal, to catch up to the still speeding Matt. What was in there that caused him to dart like that? I follow him all the way to... a cemetery? I know his mom died, but she passed in our old town. Wait... She got buried where she was born. Is that why he moved here? To be closer to his mom?

Kyle and I look at each other, and then silently agree to go in. When we get there, Matt is already kneeling down by the grave labelled:

In loving memory of

     Grace Frey

    1976-2010

Loving daughter, wife, and mother

Then he starts talking. "Mom... Why did you leave me? I thought you loved me? I didn't think I would have pushed you to.... God, ten years and I still cant say it." He chuckles slightly at this, but I dont get why. Hes talking about his mother- "I miss you. Dads still trying to make it seem like hes over you, but it's not true. Tiffany is a witch, and so is her stupid son. I cant do this without you mama... I wish it would've worked. I shouldn't be here right now. I should be
