One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Hailey's POV

After everyone had left and it was just Jaxon and I, I decided to clean up. Someone had to and I'm pretty sure Stacy was hoping I'd do it anyway.

Jaxon helped out, not saying a word but staying close to me. As if he knew what he was doing to me, how he was manipulating how I felt. I didn't feel like crying, I felt strong and capable.

He gave me warmth and calmness. At the moment, I was addicted to it. He was helping me avoid the feelings of losing both my parents and as much as I want to hate my father, of which I thought I did, I still love him.

I blame myself for going so far away from him just to lose him. He was my only last living parent and I left him to fend the world on his own, when I was perfectly aware how incapable he is. The man couldn't take care of himself and I still left.

All because he said a few nasty words here and there. I should've been strong, should have endured his verbal abuse as long as he stayed alive.

"Hey hey hey... you know none of this is your fault right? I know I shouldn't say this but people die. It's always the ones we love the most that we lose first and we can't help but blame ourselves but this was beyond your control." Jaxon says to me as he pulls me in for a hug.

His scent enveloping me in his warmth.

"I love your cologne. What is it?" I ask, not failing to notice Jaxon go stiff.

"I forgot the name. My mother chose it for me, I'll ask her yeah?" He quickly responds and I nod my head.

To be honest, what do I care about a man's cologne? As long as he kept wearing it, he would receive no complaints from me.

We pull apart and I immediately feel empty without his closeness.

"How about you go lie down and I can finish cleaning up?" He offers and I immediately panic.

If I go to my room, if it is still my room, I'd be far from him and I'll start to feel all the sadness.
