Kade’s POV
I banged on the wall and screamed for someone, anyone to get me out of this small room with ripped carpet that looked like it had been spray painted by the texture and look. I knew that there was no way to leave by there being nothing besides walls. No doors and no windows to make an escape, which made me ask, how did I get here ? There were tears pouring down my face as I tried to figure out why I was here. Help !
I didn’t know who could hear me or who could help me, if there even was anyone that could help me. The red light lit up on the wall again as it had done once before and I knew that a shock was about to run through my body. When I felt the electricity hit my feet and run throughout my whole body that left me shocked in my place, I screamed as loud as I possibly could as pain and fear kept running through me.
What do you want from me ? I screamed as my body felt the relief as the red light disappeared and I was left alone in the semi-dark room that left me feeling alone because there was no one who would rescue me from this hell.
My feet ached since they were the source sending the currents throughout my body and when my knees started to shake, I fell down to my knees as I tried to find the strength to keep fighting somehow. I saw the light again and didn’t realize until I felt the shock go through my body as I kneeled on the floor. I screamed even louder this time as the shocks originated in my knees and toes before spreading throughout my whole body.
My knees didn’t like that and they shook my whole body so bad until I fell onto my back, knowing that there was no use in even trying to fight whoever it was anymore. My entire body started to shake and I felt my heart beating so hard in my chest until it started to slow down as laughing filled my ears until my whole body felt numb and broken until everything went dark.
I shot up in bed with a yelp, making Joey wake up in fear as he sat up to wrap his arm around my shoulder since I had started to sob silently into my hands as my heart beats wildly out of my chest. I turned into his chest as I gripped his shirt in my hands as I desperately needed my heart rate to go down before I had a panic attack.
You’re okay, you’re here with me. No one’s going to hurt you, I promise, just focus on your breathing, Joey tells me as he runs his fingers through my hair while placing soft kisses to my forehead.
I-I’m scare-scared, I get out between my sobs and he tightens his grip on me as he lightly rocks me in his arms as I try my best to take a deep through my nose and out through my mouth that my mom taught me to do whenever I was freaking out.
I know you are, but I promise you that you’re safe right now and no one will hurt you in anyway, he tells me, pulling me onto his lap to be able to hold me better. you can talk about it if you want.
I shake my head. No, no, I don’t want to talk about it.
Okay, that’s alright, he whispers as he pulls me down to lay against his chest in my bed since we had decided to spend the night here since my dad wasn’t able to take Emilie to school in the morning so Joey told me he would spend the night with me so we could all three go together.
I noticed the sun streaming in through my curtains and looked over at the alarm clock on my nightstand to see that my alarm was going to go off in about an hour for us to get up, so there was no point to fall asleep again right now. Once I had gotten my breathing under control, I sat up to let out a long sigh before standing up.
What’re you doing ? Joey whispers and I turn to him to see his beautiful face staring at me. My baby blue comforter covers his lower half as his toned stomach and chest are out for everyone to see and I spent half the night just outlining his abs with my finger while we watched TV after everyone went to sleep.
Do you wanna shower with me ? I ask him, grabbing my towel off the end of my bed as I stare at him for his answer as I make my way to the bathroom that’s connected to my room.
He shoots up as soon as he hears that and I chuckle, grabbing another towel and throwing it at him. Who could say no to that ?
I turn to him, reminding him of the rule I made for him when we’re at my house. Just a shower, nothing else, okay ?
You’ve told me like a thousand times, I know, he says as I turn on the shower to a hot temperature because I found out that Joey can’t be in water unless it’s scolding hot, which is weird because he is part canine, right ?
Well, you seem to suck my dick a lot, so I have to remind you a lot so you don’t get any ideas, I tell him, trying to keep my voice low in case anyone was awake and able to hear us.
Joey comes up behind me to wrap his arms around my waist as his hand lays flat against my stomach, a little close for comfort. But it’s just so good.
His hand slides down to cup me through my sweatpants and I slap his hand away, turning to face him with an angry look. What did I just say ?
He gives me a guilty look before holding his hands up in surrender as he takes a step back from me as the room starts to heat up from the shower. It was my wolf, I’m sorry.
Well, if your wolf can’t control himself, then we might need to take separate showers, I tease him and his face drops before he rushes towards me and picking me up and twirling me around as I yelp in surprise and I assume this was an apology in his own way.
I can control him, he tells me, setting me down before giving me a quick kiss and pulling his pajama pants off before stepping into the shower.
I chuckle, taking my clothes off and stepping in with him. I have to wait for him to finish getting wet under the shower head for my turn and I start to realize why we usually shower separately here and together at his house. At least his house has two shower heads where I can have my warm water and not the burning hot liquid.
I lather my hair with shampoo and yelp when he slaps my ass, letting out a ringing noise that echoes in the shower. I turn to look at him and he puts his hands up in surrender again. Control yourself.
He chuckles, lightly grabbing my neck and pushing my head under the water as he washes the soap out for me as I close my eyes to protect them. We finish washing out hair and bodies before we get out with towels wrapped around our waists and go into my room where I sit on my bed while he looks through his bag he brought with for clothes.
I sit back as I watch him dry himself before putting on some dark blue skinny jeans, a long-sleeved shirt with three buttons on the top, and some red Vans. He reaches into his bag again to pull out his hoodie before throwing at me and I smile, realizing this was his way of apologizing for giving me that hickey yesterday.
I dress in black skinny jeans, a simple navy blue t-shirt with his hoodie over top, and some tan boots that make me a few inches taller and I wait for him to finish fixing his hair before we go downstairs with our bags to get some food. My dad sits at the kitchen table with his computer in front of him and I make sure to not make any eye contact with him as we walk in. I make Joey and I some toast while he prepares my coffee before we move to the living room to wait for Emilie to be ready.
When she comes down, she’s wearing a pair of leggings, a gray sweater, and some white Converse. She makes a bagel to go and we say bye to my parents before we go out to my car where I get in the driver’s seat. What’d you do this weekend ?
Joey and I share a small look as my sister asks us from the back seat. Just hung out at his house, nothing too crazy.
You sure ? You seem a little off, she tells me as she takes a bite of her bagel and sets her phone down on the seat next to her. Joey turns to face her as I hit the main road to go to school.
He does ? Joey asks in confusion.
Yeah, he didn’t even say anything to Dad this morning. Did you guys have a fight or something, Kade ? She asks and I clear my throat as I feel Joey’s stare on me.
No, we didn’t have a fight. I just think I’m really tired, I lie to her because ever since I talked to Lila and Conner about my father, I started to realize that I shouldn’t have to deal with his opinion always being a factor in everything I do because I always ask myself ‘will my dad not be disappointed in this ?’ when trying to decide anything. I just need to stop worrying less about what he thinks and more of what will ultimately make me happier in the end.
Joey reaches over and sets his hand on my leg in silent support as I hear Emilie typing on her phone in the backseat. I finish the drive to school with the radio on in the background as the other two passengers spend the time on their phones. Once I park, I turn around to look at Emilie. I’ll see you after dance. You’re still staying for tutoring, right ?
