One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Chapter 14

Hailey's POV

Theodore decided to drive me to the airport, fly with me and drop me off at school. He flew us private

and I'm not sure if he was showing off or trying to impress me but I was too troubled to try think of how I

felt about being in a private plane with some lady serving me endless cups of ice cream.

My thoughts were consumed by one boy.

Jaxon.

He left on the day of the funeral without saying goodbye. He did not even tell anyone he was leaving,

he just left. Leaving behind all of his clothes behind and having me travel back with all of it. I don't know

why I didn't have his number in my phone and why he didn't think to reach out and apologize for

leaving me on such a hard day.

When it was time for Theo to leave, he left me with a credit card, a stack of cash and an address to

some house just close by in case I need him.

Did I need the money? No. Did I fight him on it? No.

He wants to find a way to my heart, maybe buying me is his way and if I was in a better state of mind

then I'd tell him that this was not the way to do it but I'm not in my right mind.

I won't pretend for his benefit that I am. I won't even try force a smile on my face because I'm hurting, I

have to digest so much and also deal with the pain of losing the only parents I knew. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Many would say, well you have one more father! Why not use the opportunity given to you to build a

relationship with him?

I just can't.

Not right now. Not when I must first deal with the fact that my mother lied to me, my mother, who can't

even explain the letter and the big secret she kept from me all these years. Every damn day she would

wake me up and shower me with love, cook me breakfast. Make memories and watch me cry for a man

that was not my father. Yes, she pleaded with me to see him for who he was and how he treated me

but maybe if I had known that he wasn't really my dad, maybe I would've been more open to seeing his

true self.

I wouldn't fight for that non existent relationship.

"Lights out!" The matron calls out. I hear feet running around as the girls run to their rooms to sleep. A

beep goes off on my phone, notifying me of a post on chatpax and I sit up to see what was news today.

Upon opening my phone, I didn't realize I'd have to hear the pieces of my heart break to nothing. I felt a

strange pain hit me and then nothing.

Numbness.

I felt nothing as I saw a picture of Jaxon with Azuri, the caption saying that she would be back at school

with her long term boyfriend. Did I read the comments? Naturally.

One after the other they would talk about me. About how I feel seeing this picture or just when I'm back

and still mourning the death of my parent, I have to deal with being the girl Jaxon used. Yes, I'm like the

others, the other girls that Jaxon apparently toyed around with and when he's done, he runs back to

Azuri, who will always welcome him back with open arms.

I was numb to the laughing emojis or heartbreak emojis they tagged me on. I honestly wanted to feel

something but I couldn't. Everything they said I was feeling, betrayal or used I didn't feel. That I should

be feeling some added grief from seeing this picture and the fact that everyone knows that Jaxon

traveled with me to my fathers funeral but once it was all over, he ran to the arms of the one he truly

loves.

I put my phone back on my nightstand and force myself to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow, I'm this numb

from all that's to come from this post.

The next day...

I wake up way before my alarm, switching off my phone and covering myself with my bed covers. Yes,

everything came tumbling down on me the minute I woke up and I felt like something heavy was sitting

on my chest.

I thought Jaxon and I shared something and if we didn't, we were at the very least friends.

I hear my door open and close before I feel someone sit on my bed.

"I know you saw the post. There's no meaning to it." Jaxon says to me, which makes me throw back

the covers and sit up.

"I don't even care about the post! I want to know why you left without saying anything! I want to know

why you broke the promise you made to me about being there for me? On the very day that I needed

you, you just leave." I whisper yell.

Jaxon looks down as I berate him. His shoulders falling before looking back up at me.

"I'm sorry." He says to me.

"Explain yourself!" I demand.

"Your family asked me to stay away from you. That a relationship with me is something you shouldn't

be doing right now with all that's happening and I actually agree with them." He tells me.

"Then why are you here? To get your clothes? Take them and get out!" I shout out.

"Hailey, come on. I'm not here for a pair of Jeans." Jaxon responds making me groan out loud.

"Decide what you want right now because I will not be your toy. Maybe Azuri allows it but not me, I will

not fall for your charms." I say, pulling the covers towards me as he eyes me curiously before he moves

closer to me, his hands cupping my face.

"Well, I fell for you Hailey and as much as I want to stay away, I can't. Not until I do this..." He says to

me before pulling me in for a kiss.

I freeze, as expected..

His soft lips on mine spark a whirlwind of feelings that are quickly replaced by sparks going through

me. As if fireworks are going off and this was meant to happen...

I could hear our hearts beating as one, beat after beat and not one going off tune. My lips were doing

their own thing when they part for him, giving him way with his tongue. He takes the lead and I follow,

as if that's the way it should be. My body was reacting to his touch, it felt right feeling his hand on my

lower back pulling me closer to him. I wanted my brain to turn to mush, I needed him to trail down his

kisses and bite in to my neck.

I quickly pull away, shaken by my thoughts.

"Stop confusing me Jaxon!" I say getting out of bed to grab his suitcase and open the door.

"Go before I say something I'm going to regret." I say and he stands up.

He walks up to me, placing a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

"I'm falling for you Hailey and I hope you'll give me a chance to be good to you." He says, kissing my

forehead before taking his clothes and walking out. I close the door, resting on it to gather my thoughts.

What bothered me was that he felt right. Like the one for me, for life and if that was not weird from just

one kiss, I wanted him to bite in to me.

I needed him to bite my neck and leave a mark. Walking to the bed, that's the only thought that

confused me...not the fact that I saw clearly in the dark when Jaxon came in to my room or now as I

walk to my bed or that I could hear his heart beating.

No.

That wasn't a thought until sleep started to creep in and my brain picking now as the time to figure how

I was able to see in complete darkness...
