Chapter 68: Book Two-Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Twenty
Chapter Twenty
Josephine
We make our way back to our group with Max, and Drew and I can’t help but smile at Max, and He gives me a sweet smile too. Then we all turn to make our way to our designated classes.
Once school is over and we all make our way out to the parking lot and to our own vehicles. I give Sarah a hug and she whispers in my ear low enough so only I can hear that she wants details later about everything that happens tonight. I tell her that I will call her later and tell her everything.
Max and I climb into his truck. Well, more like he lifts me into his truck and then he walks around and climbs in on his side. Then we make our way back to my house so I can catch up on all my classwork and get ready for tonight. When he drops me off, he climbs out and walks over to help me out and walks me to the door.
“Well, I guess I’ll see you later Max.”
I turn to walk inside but then I feel tingles along my fingers that runs up my hand and through my arm.
“Josie, I uh...would you maybe want to have dinner with me sometime?”
Why is he asking me this now? Why not just tonight when he sees me? Maybe he couldn’t wait. But I guess I’ll give him an answer now and we can go over details later.
“Uhm. Sure Max. I would like that very much.”
“Okay, great. I’ll see you later and we can talk about when we can go.”
“Okay. I’ll see you later then.”
Before I can fully step away and step inside my house, I feel tingles on my cheek and when I realize why I look up to Max and I see a slight blush cross his cheeks and I can’t help but smile at this because he looks so cute when he blushes. Then I step up onto my tip toes and give him a quick peck on his cheek as well.
“I’ll see you later Max.”
“See you later Jo.”
I step fully inside the house and close the door behind me and lean against the door and I can’t help but smile at what just happened. I guess Max really does like me. I can’t believe he would even give me the time of day. I mean I’m nobody special, but I still can’t believe Max has noticed me. I can’t wait to see what Max has planned for tonight.
I make my way upstairs and plop down on my bed and think about all that has happened today. Yea it started off a bit weird and Tiffany tried to get under my skin, but I managed to stand up for myself. Surprisingly. But the rest of the day went smoothly. Now I find myself wanting to change into the other outfit I was going to wear this morning.
As much as I just want to lay here for a while longer, I pull myself from my bed and make my way to my closet and strip off my dress and wedges and I pull on my ripped black skinny jeans and pull on my tight white tank top with my favorite zippered hoodie and pull on a pair of socks and my black combat boots. I then make my way to my desk to sit and try to do most of my classwork before tonight when I must meet Max at school on the football field.
When I am finally done with all my schoolwork, and I made dinner for my parents and Heather. I managed to stay in my room and away from my family and surprisingly they didn’t bother me tonight, they just left me alone and did whatever it was they did. I think maybe my parents had to go back to the packhouse to do some more work and Heather slipped out to go hangout with Stephanie after dinner.
When I notice it’s 8:15, I make my way down the stairs and out the front door and make my way towards school. I wanted to make sure I got there on time, and with me having to walk everywhere I had to leave at a certain time in order to get to the school right at 9:00. I have not been able to think about much else besides what could happen tonight.
When I finally make it to the football field I walk out onto the field and it looks empty, like there is not a soul in sight. Where is Max? I look down at my phone to check the time and I see that I have a few more minutes so maybe he isn’t here yet. I continue to scroll around on my phone until I notice a sound coming from behind me and when I turn to see who it is, I can’t help the feeling of dread that comes over me.
“You really thought Max, was going to be here? How stupid can you honestly be? You think Max wants you? You think Max will want a wolf-less freak like you. You are basically a weak, ugly, human. You should have been banished years ago.”
I can’t get rid of this feeling; I can’t find the courage I need to stand up to her and I can’t find the strength I need to get myself out of here. I keep trying to get my legs to move, I want them to move and get me out of here, but they won’t do anything. I am frozen in place.
“What’s the matter bitch? Not so tough now that you don’t have your little, she-wolf with you?”
When I look around to see if anyone else is around all I see is my feet frozen in place and when I look up again Tiffany and her group of friends are a lot closer to me now, then they were a minute ago. How did she get so close to me so quickly?
My breath begins to come and go a lot quicker; I feel like I can’t catch my breath and I can’t get any words out to tell her that I don’t want any trouble with her. I want to tell her that I will stay away from Max, I want to tell her that I will let her have him and I just want to be able to go home and crawl into my bed, but I can’t get myself to move my feet.
Before I have a chance to do anything, I notice they have all gather around me in a circle and before I know it, I am on the ground with my hands trying to cover my face and to protect myself as much as I can, but all I can feel is kicking against my body and I feel fist coming down on different parts of my body, I can’t really make out what is being said but I do hear their voices talking to each other and they are telling me things that I can’t make out. And before I know what hits me, I feel a sharp pain on the back of my head and I black out for a minute and when I can no longer move, I try to look around to see what is going on, I see the girls running off and I try to look around to see if there is anyone that can help me, but I don’t see anyone at all.
I try to look around more and in the distance I see a small white square laying on the ground and I try with all my might to crawl to it, I think it might be my phone but I’m not sure, I am having a hard time staying awake and moving towards whatever that object is, I make it close enough to reach out with the tips of my fingers and I try to reach a little further and when I finally pull it close enough to me, I manage to try and text the one person I know who will help me.
ME: Sarah
Sarah: Hey girl, how did it go? I want all the deets.
Me: Nedyu hlp
Sarah: What is going on? I think your need to turn on your corrective text girlfriend.
ME: Fotbl fid
Sarah: Haha, very funny. What is going on with you?
I give up trying to text her and just try to call instead. I can’t seem to find the energy to call her, but lucky for me she calls and I can barely see the light flash across the screen, I start hitting the screen trying to get the call to connect, But before I can even say anything, I feel myself getting sleepy again and I feel my eyes falling closed, I drift into blackness with the sound of Sarah’s voice in my ears.
“Hey Jo, What’s up? How did it go?”
“Jo, You there?”
“Josie?”
“Jo, this isn’t funny. If your there, please answer me.”
“JOSIE! Please. Tell me where you are. I’m coming to get you and I’m going to call Max.”
But all I can hear is her voice in my ear as I drift into off into blackness. I wonder if she will call Max. I don’t want her to call Max, what if he had something to do with this.
