Payton P.O.V.

"You guys are home early" mom said turning around watching us come in quietly. The smile on her face dropped probably because most people don't come home from a fair quiet and upset, but I could always blame it on the clowns. They were kind of scary with their makeup and their tomato shaped nose... and let’s not forget about their smiles.

"And I thought today I was off from being a mother for at least a couple of hours" my mom joked. It was funny but not funny enough to make me laugh. Her face turned hard before saying " How serious is it?" she asked clearly seeing that there was something wrong and that it was serious...well not all that serious...I don't even know anymore. 

We all just stood there waiting for someone to say something. Trisha was looking at me, Coral was looking at Lewis, Lewis was looking at Coral and mother dearest stood there looking at all of us. I on the other hand was starring at my three foot green gummy bear named Rocco that looks good enough to eat. "Did I give birth to three statues or am I just talking to a wall?" Now her hands were on her hips starring at us with her sharp grey eyes that looked so much like mine.

"Someone better answer me” she finished talking to me, Coral and Lewis.

Lewis cleared his throat before leaning on one of the kitchen chairs and saying, “I don't know what happened but we left Payton alone with Tristen for a while, we all played games and next thing you know we come back and he's yelling at her, if you want to know anything else ask Payton, other than that we can't help you," Lewis said pointing to himself, Coral and Trisha. 

Mom gave me 'the look', the look meaning that we were going to talk about it. "I'm going to go to the potty” I announced before leaving the kitchen and going not to the bathroom but to my bedroom. I knew Trisha was going to be up here any minute so I just lay on my bed until my bedroom door opened. 

"Trisha you won't be--" I sat up ready to tell my best friend what happened but it wasn't Trisha it was my mom.

Who knew that she wanted to talk about this so soon? She didn't even give me five minutes to relax. "You were saying..." she trailed off waiting for me to continue what I was previously saying. 

I frowned crossing my arms over my chest. "Mom I don't feel like talking" I told her with a slight tug downwards at the corner of my lips.

She shrugged "Like it or not you’re still talking to me," she said sitting down on my bed next to me.

"Mom now you’re sounding like Tristen" I said laying back down and closing my eyes. She didn't say anything and I was about ready to jump and down in victory until I really noticed what I've said. 

"Tristen said that to you?" mom said. I didn't open my eyes to look at her because I rather just lay here and daydream for the rest of the day. She took my silence as a 'yes' and so she continued on "what were you guys talking about?" she asked in a hard tone. 

I sighed heavily knowing that she wasn't going to let this go until she knew everything. Plus she's my mom, my mom will understand, right? "We were talking about how Erin likes Lewis and then out of nowhere he asks me who I like. He asked me if I felt for a guy like a mate feels for each other and I told him yes and he got even madder when I didn't tell him who it was. Eventually he told me that I wasn't going to be with him, Mate or no mate---or something along those lines."

Mom nodded, understanding everything I said. I put in my into my pillow as I sighed deeply, but I wasn't done talking yet. "Then his eyes keep flickering to blue and then black but it wasn't scary because I saw that happen before but then they stop flickering and stayed black. Like a pure black mom." At this point I was talking non-stop with my words slurring together. 

I feel stressed or maybe I'm just imagining all this stress. Tell me how I can imagine stress and I'll tell you that I have no clue. "My point is that the way he acted was really...odd and strange. Even the way he sounded when he yelled at me" Mom gave me a small encouraging smile. 

"Well all I could tell you Payton is...." she shrugged as if her answer was the answer to all my problems, "boys do crazy stuff that sometimes we don't understand. Sometimes they don't even understand why they do it. I'm sure Tristen didn't mean to hurt your feelings." It sure sounded like he was trying to hurt my feelings by implying that he's going to make sure I'm single forever. 

"Yeah sure he didn't" I said putting on a fake smile. There was a light knock on the door and Trisha poked her head into the room.

"Um Payton I think you forgot someone." She walked fully into the room and in her arms was my green gummy bear. How can I forget Rocco!

"Thanks Trisha" I said taking Rocco out her arms and holding him into my chest.

"I'll be downstairs if you girls need anything" my mom said getting up off of my bed and then leaving Trisha and me alone.

Trisha was biting her lips and playing with her fingers "So was it that bad?" she asked.

I looked at her confused, "What are you talking about?" I asked her.

Trisha rolled her eyes and then closed the door before coming over to me and whispering "With you and Tristen? What happened?" 

Oh that's what she means; a slight frown formed on my face "I'll tell you later how about we do something fun?" I asked. Trisha nodded before sitting down next to me asking, "So what do you have in mind?" I shrugged. Today I was planning to stay at the fair for the whole day but that didn't happen so it's time to find something else.

So I sat there and thought of some fun thing we could do but came up with nothing. "I hate thinking of things to do. Let’s just go to the park or watch a movie," and that's what we did. We went to the park and after about an hour later we came home for dinner. Right after dinner we were watching movie.

Today wasn't a horrible day but it wasn't the best day ever. But you know what the best part of today is? It's the fact that I've got a family that cares for me and a best friend that's there to both back me up or just to talk too. Of course my mom told my dad what happened but I could see he was resisting from yelling and getting to the bottom of things.

But as the hours tick by I couldn't help but to feel this...this sensation. It wasn't a bad sensation but it wasn't a good one either if that makes any sense. It was strong and powerful as if something was eating away my inside but also fulfilling me with an unknown emotion. It confused me and slowly started to grow. 

I didn't want to see Tristen, I was both mad and scare of him but this strange sensation also made me want to stay home...until I at least find out what’s wrong with me. So on Sunday and Monday I was sick, Tuesday I overslept and Wednesday, I didn't go to the pack meeting because I had to catch up on the work I missed on Monday and Tuesday.

So while everyone was at the pack meeting, I was outside sitting on our back porch. I'm supposed to be doing my homework but like the previous days before I couldn't concentrate long enough to get anything done. Since I already have a day dreaming problem, this sensation made it worse and of course to top everything off, I was day dreaming about Tristen.

The last time I've saw him or even spoke to him was at the fair. He has tried calling me but I just let it go straight to voice mail. He would never leave a voice mail but who am I to care? I have more problems to worry about. 

I wasn't getting anything done anytime soon so I pushed all my books to the other side of the table. Slipped my sneakers on and started off into the woods. First a slow jog but then faster and then started. I don't know how long I was running for but it was for a while. The wind swept through my hair and my legs were numb. 

The weird sensation faded with every step and soon I was floating on clouds made of marshmallows. I was light and faster than a cheetah, my lungs burned but I couldn't stop. But all good things have to come to an end but I couldn't be any more relieved with how good I felt. 

I leaned my head against a nearby tree closing my eyes as I tried catching my breath, but then the sensation came back like an elephant stomping over a field of delicate roses. The eating away feeling wasn't there instead it was replaced with a need, at this point I think I'm going to need counseling for my raging emotions. 

"Five miles nonstop that's pretty good Payton but if you asked me I don't even think you needed me in the first place, it looks like you got yourself covered." That voice belonged to...Tristen. Maybe I'm a psycho and I'm hallucinating but why is this feeling coming over me in crushing waves?

Something touched my cheek and I quickly opened my eyes. I wasn't imagining things...I wasn't hallucinating....And this sensation was now fully alive making my wolf purr. 

Tristen starred back at me with his electric blue eyes and his brown hair. "Stop trying to avoid me Payton. I need to talk to you," Tristen said. If I wasn't at the top of the world now then I was somewhere in heaven now.
