Chapter Twenty Seven
I was up bright and early the next day which wasn’t like me at all but the nightmares I’d been having all night helped with getting up because I hardly slept. I decided to go and have a shower, maybe it would calm me down and allow me to chill out a bit.
Getting out of the shower again, I saw that my phone was flashing. I had a few missed calls and a text message from Thomas asking if I needed a lift to school tomorrow. I text back saying no thanks, my mum was taking me and that I’d see him and the others then.
I did end up deciding to wear my jeans and a nice top and got dressed before heading downstairs. I could hear chatter coming from the kitchen, but I certainly wasn’t prepared for what I was about to see…
Please note, the next chapter will be short as I didn't have time to add it to this one. i needed to post asap as Im about to head out the door for work but wanted to get a chapter up now as I won't be back till after 4 pm (which is after midnight for a lot of you, which means you'd be without a chapter today. I'm on UK time) So, yes, The next chapter will be up later on, but it will be short. I apologise, but Sunday's chapter will be much better :)
Chapter Twenty EightI met Toby in town at the coffee shop. It was late, and the sun was already setting. He suggested grabbing something to drink and then going for a little walk. It seemed like a nice sweet idea.We headed to the Park, and as the sun set completely, and the moon was nice and bright, Toby pulled me in for a passionate and loving kiss.I had to pull away before we got too carried away and I couldn’t help but smile. I smiled everytime I looked at him. He just made me so incredibly happy.‘So, what is this thing I need to see?’ I was DYING to know what this secret of his was. He was so cryptic earlier about it and I just couldn’t forget about it all day. What was so serious that he needed to SHOW me and could
Chapter Twenty Nine I spent most of the night tossing and turning, I just couldn’t switch off. It was like my mind was so into overdrive, I didn’t know how to process what I saw or how to think rationally about it. When I did manage to get some sleep, I had nightmares. Nightmares unsurprisingly about wolves and Jason and Toby turning into a monster and ripping me apart. Reliving all the horrible memories that I wished I could just forget. I was scared. I was really genuinely scared. AND CONFUSED! I was completely disgusted with myself, I mean… He was a ‘’wolf’’. He was basically a fucking animal! It was weird and twisted and It was just making everything harder to process. I felt so stupid, I remembered the comments the guys made abou
Note: Chapter 29 will be posted when it's been approved by my editor :) I noticed some people asking when previous chapters will be up that were waiting for approval. ALL chapters except 29 as of now (14th March) are posted. Thanks, guys! :)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter ThirtyNo, I wasn't having this. I quickly finished my breakfast and grabbed my bag. Completely ignoring Toby and my parents.‘It's fine, I’ll walk’. I wouldn’t. I’d text Thomas and ask him for a lift. I was on his way anyway, and school wasn’t walking distance, but at this rate, I WOULD rather walk than him giving me a lift. What was he going to do? Shift into a dog and l
Chapter Thirty OneAs soon as Toby pulled into the School parking lot and found a space, I jumped out of the car and hurried off. The parking lot was around the back, and while teachers had their own area, a lot of the students drove. I was able to rush off into the crowd and found comfort in the fact Toby wouldn’t be able to follow me. He hadn’t even had a chance to turn the engine off before I was gone.I only stopped to catch my breath when I made it to the front entrance. I went in before Toby had a chance to catch up.Walking through the crowd of students all rushing to find their lockers or friend groups, I got little snippets of other people's conversations. Becca Sanders’ brother died in a car crash over the summer, something I had heard about on the news alr
Chapter Thirty Two By the time lunchtime rolled around, I was well and truly sick of school. All I had heard all day, even from my friends, was how attractive one of the new teachers was. Sophie also wouldn’t stop asking if I was ok like she knew something was wrong. I knew she meant well, but it was starting to piss me off a little bit. I went into the canteen to get some food before joining my friends on their usual patch of grass out on the field. The weather was so lovely still, even though summer had technically ended, that most of the students and staff were out here relaxing too. ‘Not hungry?’ Thomas asked, looking down at my simple sandwich and bottle of water. I shook my head. I really wasn't. Maybe it was all the stress recently, but I’ve barely been hungry the past few days.
Chapter Thirty ThreeToby’s Point of ViewAll day, classes full of students have been coming and going. It was nice being back in this environment again. I loved summer, but I did miss my job, but this is a whole new school, which meant I had to repeat myself over and over and over for hours. I wasn’t stupid and I wasn’t deaf. I was also well aware that I was probably one of the few good looking teachers in this school, as vain as that sounded, which meant, I had a lot of attention from students.In every class I had taught today, at least 3 or 4 of the girls, and even a few guys, had made comments about me to their friends… The kids weren't as quiet as they thought they were.Under normal circumstances, I’d be flattered, but of course, I’d nev
Chapter Thirty FourViolet’s Point of ViewAfter I sent that text message, I did start to already feel slightly better but not completely. I waited for him to arrive, but in the meantime, I just kept my eyes closed, trying not to have a full blown anxiety and panic attack.I was struggling... Until I heard the door of the classroom open and close.‘Violet?’ As soon as I heard Toby’s voice, I jumped up from my hiding place and stumbled in the dark to find him. Reaching my arms out, feeling around for him. The second I touched him, I wrapped my arms tight around him and just sobbed. He just held me back tightly, shushing me and stroking my back.He didn’t speak or ask me what was wrong or r
Chapter Thirty FiveWe stayed, sat in silence, with me in his arms for as long as we could, but it was still a little awkward. I had to address the elephant in the room, or rather... Wolf…‘I’m not going to tell anyone your secret’. I told him honestly.‘I know you wouldn’t. You’re not that vindictive’. I couldn’t help but smile. He knew me so well. It meant a lot that he trusted me so much, even now… after everything.‘I do love you, so so much, I just don’t know if I can move past this’.‘I know and I understand. Trust me, I will wait for you’.‘W
