~Matt~
I decide on a light blue button up, with black slacks for attire to the winter dance. I figured the blue was like, snowing or something? I don't know, I just really don't care about this stupid dance. I mean, who likes to embarrass themselves in front of everyone with their stupid dance moves? Like, hello, we see you, you can stop now.
A honk from outside breaks me from my self-pity for having to go to this messed up event. I say a quick goodbye to my dad, ignoring the two people by him. Tiffany wiggled her way back into my dad's life, and I really wish he would just tell her no. They should get a divorce, and then I'll never have to deal with Wayne again. And, with being the best lawyer around and having lots of connections, I'm guess he could get full custody of Jade.
Anyways, the car honks again and I rush out to meet George, Tessa, and Kyle in the car. I sit silently in the back, while they all mess around and sing goffily, reminding me of the days at my old high school. It's only been three weeks? Feels like a life time. I remember sitting back, watching everyone with their friends, being happy and excited over the littlest things, because they were with the people they cared about. I didnt have that for six years. I guess that much alone can take its toll on you. Damn, now I'm really in a bad mood.
Whatever though I guess.
"Yo, Matt, you coming?" George asks, jumping up and then running, his chocolatey skin glimmering in the string lights hung between the street light poles for the event. I get out of the car, and immediately want to turn about. I dont belong here. I should be alone, away from any social interaction. I feel my breathing quicken, but at the same time, I dont have enough energy to breathe that fast, so soon black dots fill my vision, and I have to sit down.
My friends leave me, and I scan over the crowd, not looking for anything specific, just observing what's happening about me. Colorful lights flash, meeting the beat of the fast pace song. Most guys are wearing something close to mine, and the girls are all wearing basically summer dresses, which is sort of ironic considering the theme. That's when my eyes land on the happy couple. Cade catches my eye and smiles, saying something the Callie and then they walk over. "Hey Matt!"
Hey Callie. Cade." I slowly stand up and feel myself sway a bit but I straighten up before Callie noticed. Cade doesnt though.
"Are you okay?" He asks.
I nod and look at my shiny black shoes. "Yeah, fine. Just not used to going to things like this. Makes me nervous." I explain.
"Oh, I totally get that! Come dance with us?" Callie asks, pulling me by one hand and Cade by the over. The song that comes on happens to be This Town, so it's a little slower. Callie latches on to Cade's neck, and I instantly back up. This is a private moment. And a painful moment to watch. I shrink back to my seat, not wanting to embarrass myself. Ugh. "Hey, where'd you go?" She asks after about 10 minutes.
"I..." I obviously couldnt tell her, 'Oh it's nothing Cal. I just secretly really like your boyfriend but you're a great person so I cant do anything bait it.' Stupid. "I, just didnt want to intrude on a private moment, and dancing isnt really my thing. I'm sorry." She shrugs and sits next to me.
"How are you? Cade told me that you had to stay with the pa-" She stops mid sentence cut off by an obviously fake cough, and starts again. "A family friend who's a doctor?" I nod. "He didnt tell me what happened though."
I decide the best thing to do, is probably not lie. Too much. "We got in a fight, and it turned physical, but it was fine. I just hurt my hand, which didnt make a dent in his stupid face." She giggles at this.
"I like you. You're hilarious. Wanna get some fresh air with me? This is a little too thick for me." She says, standing up.
"Sure." I stand up and walk outside with her. I find Cade in the sea of people, and he looks like he could use some help, and I cant help but laugh and point him out to Callie. She laughs at the sight. Kyle is behind Cade holding his arms and making him waltz with George, while Tessa is doing to same to him. Kyle kicks the back of Cade's knee, making him dip George, and he immediately straighten up and goes back to waltzing the a very unmatched beat. Seen as the song is 'Can't Hold Us', I'm surprised that they are letting them do this to them. Cade looks over and sees us laughing so he glares, before Kyle makes him spin around, but it's a very slow spin since Cade isnt exactly cooperating.
Callie and I walk outside, still laughing. "That was the best thing I've ever seen." She laughs.
"Yea-" I'm cut off by a scream and then I realize said scream came from me, when strong arms wrap themselves around my stomach.
"That's the best thing I've ever seen." A familiar voice says behind me.
"Shut up." I grumble, pouting like a child. Cade chuckles but doesnt let go of me. I notice that were his arms are tingles and got warm, but I ignore it. Everyone gets warmer when someone is by them. "You're warm." I say, going closer to him to heat my frozen body. I'm a freeze body, so I dont know why I thought coming out here was a good idea since I'm just in a button up. Callie giggles.
"You two are dorks." She laughs.
I put my hands over my heart. "Aww thank you!" I gush and then put my hands down, but it ends up being over Cade's hands, but I don't move them. Cade chuckles and goes to say something but gets cut off.
"Hey Matto! Come on, dance with us!" Kyle yells from the door.
"Its been fun, but I'm being summoned, so adios. I'll see you guys later, okay?"
"Okee dokee," Callie says at the same time Cade says, "Alright." But he doesnt let go.
"Umm Cade?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah, right." He is still hesitant to let go, but he eventually does.
What a strange guy.
Chapter twenty~Cade~
Callie laughs and I look at her confused. She is the most beautiful girl uve ever seen, (besides my mom and Matt's mom but you know what I mean) with long blonde hair, and brown eyes, a cute button nose and full lips, but that's just it. Shes the most beautiful girl. Not person. "What?" I ask. She sighs and walks closer to me, putting her hand on my cheek.
"You are so in love and you dont even know it." She shakes her head and smiles.
"W-what? Cal, what are you talking ab-bout?"
"Cade, if it were me, we would know already. Honestly, this hasn't felt romantically right from the beginning. You are more like my best friend, and I'd like it to stay that way. But we both know, that nothing could break what you feel for Matt, and he deserves you too." She says with a genuine smile. "Say you'll still be my best friend?"
"Of course Cal." I scoop her up in a hug and look down at her after shes back on the ground. "Thank you so much."
She nods and blushes when she looks down. "And... I found him."
"Really?? Who?" She found her mate but was still with me?
"I just found him tonight, if that's what your wondering." She assures me. "His name is Jake. He came with his sister since she refused to get a date."
"Oh." I look down, wanting to go do something but I'd feel rude doing so.
"Go get 'em tiger." She punches my arm playfully and smiles at me and then walks with me in the building. "Good luck." She says, but it sounds like a whisper compared to the loud music.
"You too." I smirk when I see her go towards a man with a blush coating her cheeks. I take a deep breath and walk over to my friends. "Hey." I say solely to Matt.
"Hey." He turns to me with a smile.
"Can I talk to you?" He nods and follows me back outside. A breeze drifts through the air, and I sigh in contentment. Werewolves are naturally a lot hotter so the cool was really nice. Although, Matt doesnt share my opinion, as he shivers. "Still always cold?" I chuckle and give him my leather jacket I brought along.
"Thanks... Yeah. I guess." He looks away.
"What's wrong?"
"I just... I still don't remember you at all. All I remember is your eyes, which is just weird. You know me but I've only known you for five days. I can't imagine how it would be if I actually remembered you. I already feel really close to you. What did we even do when we were kids?" A thousand memories flash through my mind.
"Umm... Just, normal friend stuff." I tell him. "So anyways, Callie and I broke up..."
He looks super shocked. "What? But you two were like, the definition of couple goals! I'm so sorry! Are you okay??" He asks frantically.
"Yes." I laugh. He looks up at me hesitantly. "What?" I ask, pushing him to ask what he wants to. He's had the same look since we were little.
"Why?"
"We just realized that we were right for each other. That maybe seeing other people would be better for us." I take a chance and look him directly in the eye while I say this, and I hear his heart beat speed up.
"O-oh." He chokes out. His breathing becomes erratic and shallow as I look between his dark, captivating eyes, that are bouncing back and forth between mine. "I-" He starts but doesn't continue. I start to slowly lean down and-
"Matt! Come on, you'll freeze out here!" I hear my brother laugh. Stupid Kyle. Matt jumps back and looks up at me with flushed cheeks. Kyle walks up to us, obviously taking note of the fact that Matt was in my jacket, but he says nothing. "Hey, George and Tessa are waiting for you. You should go, we'll meet you in there." He says, faking a lighthearted tone. The hesitancy in him movements shows that Matt noticed too, but as Kyle did before, he doesn't say anything. He nods and leaves without looking back. "What the hell??" Kyle asks, dropping the
