He held his tan hand out to me and I stared at it for a moment before grabbing it and letting him pull me out of my seat not because I was scared that he would get angry because I wanted to.
All I want is for you to forgive me Emily, I can’t take back what I’ve done but I’ll try. I’ll try to be less possessive I can’t promise that I’ll be fucking amazing but I can promise you Emily I will try He sighed as his hands went to my waist as he pushed me against the car door causing it to slam shut.
For once I believed him, for once the sparks that erupted from his touch didn’t make me feel sick or how his hot breath fanned my face didn’t scare me.
Hi, I’m Emily I mumbled holding up my hand for him to shake, if I was going to get past everything we would need a fresh start.
He shook his head the corners of his mouth turning up slightly as he let out a chuckle before he connected his hand to mine pulling me up to his height and placing his lips on mine.
I ran my hand along the edges of the car seat my eyes flickering to the right to see Four in the same position, one hand hanging loosely on the wheel while the other was stretched over on my knee.
My eyes glanced outside to see the same scenery I have been looking at for the past hour of driving on the road, green tears after trees lined up creating a forest atmosphere. My eyes glanced in the mirror to see the black jeeps following behind as they have done since we left.
For most of the journey I was sleeping and Four just woke me up an hour ago asking if I needed to go to the bathroom or anything.
I felt weird, my heart believed Fours words, I thought he was actually going to try change but their was still a feeling that I shouldn’t get my hopes up and be prepared to be stuck up in that bedroom.
But what did this mean ? Did he mean he was going to actually let me explore around the lands ? Let me see all the things he has been hiding from me or was all the stuff coming out of his mouth empty promises.
I shook my head shaking the negative thoughts out of my head, this was a fresh start I can’t think about the past events. He was going to try and that’s all that mattered.
I felt his hand squeeze my knee as my eyes snapped to his to see that his were flickering from me to the road.
What are you thinking ? He asked his eyebrows furrowing in confusion as he was genuinely interested in what was going on inside my head.
If he’d ask me this before I would of been angry that I couldn’t even keep my thoughts private but now I could tell by his face he was just asking out of curiosity.
I just shrugged in response I couldn’t exactly say that I was worried that he was going to lock me up and shield me from the outside world now could I ? I knew he couldn’t change overnight and his temper was going to take time to control.
I leaned my head back in the seat closing my eyes letting the quite sound of the radio take over once again, I wasn’t tired, I actually wanted to just get out and run my legs had been cramped in the same spot for that long.
After a few minutes of just feeling Fours warm hand on my knee I felt him squeeze it this time, I peeked my eyes open glancing over to him to see that the car was now no longer moving.
I want you to forgive me and trust me but I know it’s not that easy. I kept you from your family Emily and trust me it was the hardest thing to hear you cry at night and not being able to tell you it was okay because I knew it was a lie. I know nothing I can do can take back all those months but I’m willing to give it a good shot Four sighed shaking his head.
My eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he spoke, I thought we had already gone over this this morning ? My gaze then left his eyes to look out the front window to see the house that I’d thought I’d be spending a boring summer at.
My eyes then flashed back to his wide, what was he trying to do ? Was he messing with me just to get me upset or something.
Go, I’ll be back for you in a few hours love His next words shocked me and it took me a few moments for them to register in my head as I had to make sure that I had just heard right.
I pounced forward wrapping my arms around his neck earning a small breath of laughter escape from his lips as he reached behind me clicking of my belt and pulling my whole body over so I was now straddling him in the front seat.
But I didn’t care, I didn’t care about anything that happened before now, he was letting me spend time with my grandma alone. He was giving me something I never thought he would even consider.
Go quick before I change my mind He mumbled, I hoped he was joking but to be sure I quickly pulled open his door and jumped out of the car.
There was so much I wanted to say to her, ask her and it would give me another opportunity to ring my family. Tell them I was finally okay that for the first time in months I felt happy.
Hey ! No kiss for that ? Fours hand gripped my own stopping me from moving any further. I turned to see a smile played on his face as I leaned down quickly placing my lips on his only for a second as I pulled away my lips tingling.
I quickly turned around and began running towards the house I thought I’d never enter again hearing Fours laugh in the distance as I got further away.
I smiled at my grandma as she poured another cup of tea into my mug that had already been refilled four times in the last hour as she shovelled as many treats into me as she could.
It was now dark outside and after hours of just endless conversations, crying , talking and some more crying we had finally both calmed ourselves down and began to eat dinner not that I was hungry from the amount of cookies she basically shoved down my throat.
That day Dylan brought you to meet me broke my heart, I wanted to pull you back of course and when you started crying all I wanted to do was comfort you but I knew it would make things worse. I knew that the only place for you was with Four, it gave me comfort knowing you were safe She continued her story as she proceeded to scoop too many spuds on my plate.
She knew about the whole werewolf thing, which I already assumed days ago when I was thinking about how my whole life was a lie. She had grown up here, had my dad here and basically grown up with wolves. That confirmed the fact that my parents knew which I kind of hoped they didn’t but I guess they already did.
We knew it was a risk letting a teenager come here but I thought that there was a slim chance of you finding a mate or even having a mate. I thought if you didn’t go to their territory then you would be safe I should have kept a closer eye on you Grandmas voice wobbled once more as she sat down across from me.
My eyes stung from the amount of crying I had done, firstly when I first seen her I burst into tears, then a little while later when I called my parents and got to speak to Kyle and now.
It’s not your fault, he would have found me sometime I attempted to lighten the mood, I knew I had only a little while left and so I didn’t want to spend it crying.
