Chapter 8 - The Truth

Waking up to the feeling of being trapped underneath something, I panicked a little when I opened my eyes and it was Jake laying partly on top of me with his arms around my body keeping me close to him. I struggled trying to get out of his arms though all it did was make his arms tighter around me.

Panicking I eventually got out of his arms when he woke up and quickly loosened his arms, I rushed into the bathroom locking the door behind me. I leant back against the door regulating my breathing trying to slow it down.

Once I'd calmed down a little, I got on with my morning routine brushing my teeth and jumping in the shower rinsing the panic off my skin with the relaxing warm water.

I was soon back in the clothes I wore yesterday and walked back into the bedroom to find a pile of clothes on the bed which I quickly took back with me to the bathroom so I could get out of the dirty clothes before it transferred back to me.

Once I was dressed in another pair of sweatpants, which I had to roll up a couple of times, and a long t-shirt which was also long on me, I walked back out to the bedroom finding Jake sat on the sofa with a tray sat on the table in front of him.

"is that for me?" I asked before sitting down on the completely opposite side of the sofa to him.

"yes, of course cereal today, I hope you enjoy it." Jake said looking at me.

"Sorry about this morning, I shouldn't have slept in the bed" Jake said after a little while of me just eating my breakfast in silence.

I just kept silent looking at him it wasn't that bad I actually slept very well, best I've slept in a little while probably since I've been here.

"It's your bed I suppose, can't stop you sleeping in it" I said quietly whilst looking down at the remaining cereal which I was pushing round the bowl now.

Deciding I was finished I put the bowl down on the tray which was still on the table and downed the glass of water which was there too.

"can I go for a walk outside today?" I asked Jake looking at him pleadingly needing some fresh air.

"I don't think that would be the best today with that cut on your foot, but we need to talk today anyway" Jake responded quickly bursting out the last bit.

"oh, I forgot about that, I should probably change the bandage now after my shower" I whispered out to myself remembering that it was there, I think I was feeling a bit numb of everything today.

Jake brought out the first aid kit from the bathroom whilst I had begun unwrapping my foot from the wet bandages which were on it currently. I grabbed a towel which he had placed next to me and I made sure that my foot was all dry ready to be redressed. I quickly redressed it with some bandages and gauze on the wound.

After a while of just sitting there with Jake watching me out of the corner of his eye, I can feel that he is watching me.

"what did you want to talk about?" I asked Jake turning to look at him.

"well I need to tell you a few things and explain why you are here I suppose, to make you more comfortable or at least try to" He waffled on at me.

"fine explain then, I need to know though not sure it will make me more comfortable." I snapped a bit back at him.

"I'm a werewolf and you're my mate" He blurted out to me very quickly.
