One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf novel Chapter 17

Hailey's POV

For the next few weeks, Jaxon and I have been inseparable. Stealing kisses in empty classrooms or writing each other love notes and leaving them in secret places where only him and I would know to find them.

During the two weekends, he had taken me to his family's cottage in the mountains so we could have some private time together. Away from prying eyes in the dorm rooms.

We both insisted the relationship be a secret because the school queen had returned and we both didn't know how she would react to the news. I know for a fact she would've had my head but Jaxon just thinks she wouldn't take it that far.

So far, Azuri has kept her distance. We don't even acknowledge each other at all. I'm just some girl that goes to the same school as our queen bee.

I don't mind it though.

I've been too preoccupied with Jaxon to actually pay anything to mind. I have even made a few friends to eat with since I can't sit with Jaxon anymore and he's back to chilling with Azuri and her posse.

Dread fills my heart as I think about school and not having Jaxon by my side. Every time I am with him, I feel whole, complete. Sometimes this feeling scares me as I think it makes me feel dependent on him and I can't afford to be, not with both my parents dying on me.

Besides, we are kids. Who knows where we will end up after high school graduation? If we go to different colleges, can we go the distance?

Just relying on him so much scares me but I love it because I forget about all of the hurt that still pangs my heart from time to time when Jaxon is not with me.

"Sunday today. Back to reality for us." I sadly say to Jaxon who was making us breakfast in the beautiful kitchen his mother decorated.

"Yeah but don't despair my love. This brings in that lovely room of excitement for the next weekend and I'll see you before you go to bed every night." He tells me. Yeah, he comes to my room to help me sleep but he's not there when I wake up. I appreciate his care because without him, I can't sleep but I feel so empty in the morning.

I nod my head, just agreeing with him. Yes, he's right. He is always right but there's also the fact that we stay in hiding and I hate that my first relationship has to be in secret.

I want to scream out loud that I am dating Jaxon Gellar! I want everyone to know that we are so madly in love but I guess we all can't have what we want, no matter how bad you want it.

"You figure out why your dad wants to see you?" Jaxon asks me and I shake my head no, looking at him in wonder at how he always seems to get me out of my thoughts, especially the negative ones.

Theodore has been trying to see me since I got back but I've been ignoring him so on Thursday he just popped by the girl's dorm to see me and I had no choice but to agree to dinner with him today.

"He's just trying to play the dad role. Get to me and all that. He has lillies delivered to my room every Tuesday and I think he had the school fill him in on all my interests and what I'm busy with." I say as I think about him asking me about all my subjects.

"Oh okay. That's not a bad thing, if anything, you both deserve that. You were both kept in the dark about each other so in my opinion, give him a chance. Please." Jaxon pleads with me, again being the voice of reason.

I just shrug, waiting for Jaxon to fill my plate up with food.

"Here you are my lady. Scrambled eggs on toast with smashed avocado and bacon bits." He says. I kiss his cheek as a thank you.

Jaxon only throws in some bacon and eggs in his plate. The way our plates are filled up, I never thought I'd eat this much in my life and just for breakfast. I mean, usually I'd eat one slice with everything on it but now? I was on 5 slices of toast with eggs, bacon and avo.

To make it even more weird is that Jaxon knew I had a big appetite. He always gives me more and at first I'd tell him that it's too much but I'd empty the plate without feeling bloated or heavy and now, I've accepted the fact that I can gobble some food down.

My mom would be mad impressed.
