Midnight Love [Chapter 14]
The final Chapter..
This last chapter will be in bits in pieces… It’s more of a quick summery of what would’ve been the next three chapters, it‘s also slightly rushed… and to try and type the whole thing in the time I have is impossible, I am ssorry about it all.. It is quite an abrupt ending, but I needed to get this story finish before I headed off for the entire summer. I‘d like to thank everyone who read it all and enjoyed it. There will be more stories for sure. Thanks again.

Walking down the street with her cell phone in her hand, Alex was heading towards Braxton’s. He had left her house no more than about three hours ago, but no matter how many times she called, he never picked up. She was going to have a word with him, it was rude that he was ignoring her phone calls. If…. If he didn’t want to be together anymore he’s going to have to tell her in her face.
Screaming caught her attention, she was only about half way up his walkway when she heard it. Looking up from her phone, she saw it all through the kitchen window. What she saw, she wasn’t sure, seemed unreal to her. First she saw Braxton fighting with his parents and the next thing she knew three giant wolves were attacking each other.
A scream caught in the back of her throat. This wasn’t right, deep down she knew it wasn‘t, but it didn’t seem humanly impossible. Braxton was…. was… a werewolf.
Lifting a hand to her mouth, she muffled a scream as the three large creatures shot through the door. The force of everything knocked Alex off her feet, though she was unharmed, the whole scene was causing a melt down inside her. No one was programmed to handle a situation like this.

"Alex…. Alex, please let me explain," following her around her lawn, with a slight limp, Braxton was trying to convince Alex to take the time and listen. She’s always been stubborn though, ever since he met her. When she had something in mind nothing could change it otherwise.
There were tears in her eyes, which was impossible to notice. It pained him to see her that way, the way he was torturing her.
"How could you?" she asked him through her sobs, Alex had stopped and looked towards him, "you…. Lied to me."
"No… No! I never lied to you," Braxton stepped towards her and tried to take her hands, but she ripped through away from him that moment her grabbed them, "I couldn’t tell you."
"Monster," she stepped back, unable to trust him anymore. Whatever he was, it frightened her. Alex knew that she wouldn’t be able to flee, he could catch her in matter of seconds… there was no way out of this.
"Please, please…. Alex, try to listen to me, " he begged, his hope slowly dying.
She stood there in front of him with her arms wrapped around her chest, still crying from the whole situation. Looking up, streaks from the tears remained on her cheeks as her crying slowly settle down.
"I loved you…" She whispered, her voice raspy from her crying.
"Loved?"
"Go… Please go," Alex swung around, hurrying her way from him and into her house.

"Braxton!"
Rushing through the streets and into the trees, Alex somehow knew that Braxton was leaving today- for good. For the past few days, all she had been doing was laying on her bed thinking…. And some crying, but mostly thinking. What she had been thinking about was obviously Braxton and the whole situation of him not being human. There was no way she could be fine with that, and she knew it… But, it was Braxton. It didn’t matter how cheesy that sounded to her, and she had never been one for cheesiness, but it was Braxton. He had never hurt her… Though, Alex still couldn’t entirely believe that, she had witnessed what happened when he got angry.
She spotted him quickly, standing there. The looked on his face when he saw her was one of surprise.
"Alex?" He stepped towards her, taking her hands, "what’re you doing here?"
"You’re leaving," She spoke quite blankly, not wanting to speak of anything on how she really felt. Alex had never been one for emotions, which is why she was now ashamed of her crying scene.
"Yes."
Biting down on her lip, she pulled her hands back from him, just in time to see the look on Braxton’s face.
"Come with me?" He asked her, his hands still held out from holding hers. Slowly, he dropped them to his side. He had to leave, in the past days, the people in the town have become nervous and investigators have gotten hint of him and his family. Even though he despised his parents, he couldn’t leave them… There was still hope that he could help.
Slowly, Alex shook her head, "I can’t."
Braxton took her wrist and pulled her gently towards him, placing a soft kiss on her cheek, "bye then."
Alex watched as he took a step back and with a soft nod, she watched him shift for the second time in her life and take off.
