and everybody’s hearing she tried to talk. Soundless words came out until she let of a huge sigh that could’ve explain a year’s worth of worrying.

“You…Nathan…Mates, how does that work,” she exclaimed quietly when the most uncomprehendable expression.

“I don’t know, but Jas I only want to think of soccer, the best thing in the world,” I explained and finally gave her a smile that would make her forget about anything else like it always does. Except this time it didn't her brows were still raised and worried.

“If you only think of soccer you’ll become the world’s most… weirdest girl in the world… you… he,” she continued but I shook my head and grabbed her wrist pulling her back to the locker room. I laughed at everyone’s confused expression as I finally managed to get Jasmine back into the locker room.

“We were discussing weird tactics that we should use in the game,” I falsely proclaimed hoping they would all let go of it and of course they did. Jasmine and I changed into our soccer uniforms causing Jasmine to no longer think about Nathan. Score, I thought to myself with a tiny happy dance.

“Soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer,” I chanted in sing-song voice, making everyone around me laugh. Little did they know it was actually just an act to get me to think about anything other than that heaven forsaken kiss. Entering the soccer field I saw Jasmines pack and everyone else's parents on the left.

“Say Char, you are coming over after the game right,” Jasmine asked in a most hoping voice. My eyes widen and my smile grew wider, which could scare anyone in view.

“OF COURSE JASMINE,” I screamed and everyone around me flinched but laughed anyway. I joined them knowing I just blew their minds with that scream. Once we got into position the play started and in a no time it ended. Just as I felt I couldn't move anymore Jasmine came and started pushing me over to the bench.

“Is it just me or did I do most of the work out there,” I questioned breathlessly, the coach smirked along with the other girls including Jasmine. Huffing, I rolled my eyes then took my water bottle and chugged it.

“Water sweet heaven,” Jasmine and I said at the same time, then laughed knowing we didn’t plan to.

“Beware of soccer nimphs,” I said randomly, after chugging almost the whole bottle of water. My heart was refreshed after winning the soccer game, nothing else was on my mind. This of course is a good thing because that means there is nothing in the way of my happiness. Well keeping the happiness close to me the coach went and receive out trophy.

“Holy mother of soccer, that is one big trophy for this little game,” Mary, one of my teammates, proclaimed. Everyone else agreed with eyes full of awe.

“We could get bigger ones, like at our national’s championship which we will win,” I announced out of the blue, the shinny trophy was the only thing in my eyes as I spoke. I walked closed to it and petted the trophy show after everyone else did the same.

“My team has such weirdo’s,” the coach smirked, then continued, “but my team is also one of the best.”

We all cheered and laughed, for the rest of the time we talked until we wanted to go home. Suddenly that high peak of happiness, lowered bit by bit. Once the room was silent I realized something.

“Yeah, I think I should go home now. I’ll come over tomorrow instead Jasmine,” I said during the silence that no one filled. Jasmine pouted and grabbed onto my arm telling me to stay. After raising my eyebrow I just stared at her.

“Com'mon, pretend I’m a puppy or something and take me home with you,” she demanded, while holding onto me as if her life depended on it. While laughing I was seriously thinking about taking her home with me, but in the end I knew I couldn’t or wouldn't.

“Bye Jasmine,” I said in a sing-song voice, then made her release her grip on my arm. Rolling her eyes in disappointment, she let me walk away. Before leaving I told everyone goodbye and gave a finally kiss to the trophy. chapter five

Truthfully I wanted to go with Jasmine, well anywhere but home that is. After leaving the field I went straight home. When I arrived at my house I saw two cars in the drive way. Please don't be fighting,I thought to god probably sounding like a beggar. I shook off all my unwanted feeling and quickly got out of my car heading towards the house. When I was about to go in I heard a loud crash and a scream. This only quickened my pace to get in. The view from the opened door was my mother sitting against the stairs with a huge gash across her forehead. She looked like she was about to faint.

"Mother," I whispered then quickly got out my phone and started calling 911, the call went through but when the person said hello my father snatched my phone away and pressed end. His eyes were on fire and he didn't seem to get out all of his anger on mother. I stepped back and out of the house, even so he followed me out. When I kept trying to grab my phone back he just took my hand and twisted away painfully. It felt like my hand was going to burn off. Behind my father I heard my mother's quiet sobs for help, but it was for herself not me. I used all my force to kick my father away and managed to get my phone. Even when I saw him groan in pain I didn't feel guilty. I immediately rushed towards my car and drove down the enterance to the park, because my I knew my father wouldn't. I called 911 and sent them to my house for my mother, then I waited ten minutes before driving over to Jasmines house. When I got there, I could see the ambulance was still there. I sighed but didn't walk over there or say anything. Quickly, before being noticed by my father, I rushed over to Jasmine's front door waiting for her mother to answer. Once she did, I stepped in without a word, but when she shut the door behind me tears crawled out.

"Oh my, Charlotte, just wait a few minutes, Jasmine will be here soon," Mrs. Smith soothed. I felt like laughing at how much more normal a werewolf family was then mine. It was almost embarrassing, but then again it wasn't like I asked for this. With all that happened in the last 15 minutes, I couldn't help but forget Nathan, well that was until he entered the room with Jasmine. Quickly I looked away and wiped my eyes, then looked back with a smile, a very forced smile.

"Jasmine, can you come with me to your room," I questioned, I really didn't want to be in the same room as Nathan, but also I didn't want him to hear about my family or whatever you can call us. She nodded with wide eyes then rushed over and dragged me up the stairs. Once we were in her room I started weeping again. Geez, what a wimp I am, I thought to myself trying to laugh rather than cry.

"Char, that ambulance..." she started to ask but when my eyes widen even more and the tears fell faster, I guess she could already tell. I picked up one of her pillowed and suffocated my face in it to hide while crying. The next minute Jasmine was beside me with something cold. I looked up and saw the trophy, in an instant I was slightly recovered. Without any words I dropped the pillow and hugged the trophy.

"This isn't soft enough to hug, but whatever," I mumbled into the trophy then heard a hard knock on the door. Nathan, I questioned myself, ah probably not. When Jasmine opened the door, I was wrong, well completely wrong. It scared me the look on Jasmines face, especially how much I started shaking.

"Hi, father what are you doing here," I asked trying not to sound afraid or weak, but for the most part that was all I sounded like. Every time I looked at his face I would remember the fights my parents had, and now the gash on my mother's forehead. Jasmine jumped in front of me then called Nathan. Once he was next to my father he looked completely confused, but I suppose that was reasonable. Downstairs you could hear the door slam and the sound of chatter coming into the house, then the footsteps of the pack. Jasper was the first to see my father then the rest did and came rushing over to my side. I feel completely like a princess who has guys and girls as her knights, woo go my knights. Seeing them all here lifted my spirits and somehow even seeing Nathan did. No not Nathan, I tried to correct myself with a nervous feeling fluttering inside myself. Nope, never, I thought to myself.

"Worthless little girl, you mother went to the hospitable, go see her," my father said to me ignoring the others, and then he glared at me for a few seconds before he left. Sunny fell onto the bed after we all heard the slam of the front door downstairs.

"Geez, your father gives me the creeps," Drake exclaimed exaggerating just to make me smile, it somewhat succeeded because I gave a small smile.

"I guess this is my bed for tonight," I told then flopped down hugging the trophy. When everyone looked away I wiped my slowly drying tears, there were no need for them anymore. No tears please, I thought to myself with a half smile.

"I'm so lost because of that crazy girl," Nathan said making me flinch because of his voice. Not because it was scary, but because of how I liked it so much. Not good, it's really not good at all. Ah, then again I'm not a werewolf so there is no way I'm his mate anyways. Too many things happened today, I thought to myself then got into a comfortable position on the bed and fell asleep not caring how many people were in the room with me.
