NovelEnglishWhen I woke the next morning Jake wasn't beside me. I wasn't even sure he was in the house. I had showered and got ready for school and was currently finishing off my coffee.
I wanted to leave early so I could stop for sbreakfast before my exam. I was nervous but I wasn't. I was quite confident with English but I knew this exam was going to be hard. Placing my mug in the sink I grabbed my bag and my jacket and headed out. I had to walk to my house and pick up my car.
I prayed I wouldn't run into my gran. I still didn't know what to say to her. How do we even talk about what I found out last night? In my head it was never going to be the sagain.
She lied, lied tofor the full eighteen years I had been alive. How do we go back to the way we were? It had always just beenand my gran and now I wasn't sure I could trust anything she said. We didn't keep secrets.
Feeling the chill in the air I pulled my jacket tight across my body as I crossed the street. It was still early so when I reached my house it didn't surprisethat her car was still in the drive. I had my keys so there was no need to go inside.
It was like she was waiting onshowing up. The front door was pulled open. My gran stood fully dressed with a cup in her hand. Wait had she been to sleep? "Please cin for scoffee. We need to talk".
"I have to get to school". I couldn't afford to be distracted before my exam.
"Well how about after school?".
I felt terrible. I didn't want there to be this divide between us. I knew I had to give her the chance to explain.
"I can meet for lunch?". I suggested.
"Great. How about that little coffee shop?".

She didn't go back inside until I was in my car and driving off down the street. I wanted to be angry with her but at the stI couldn't be.
Maybe she was only trying to protect me. Keepfrom whatever she thought she had to. Surely she had good reason to keep the biggest part of my life fromright? Grasping my steering wheel tighter I pulled up outside the coffee shop. I had to put this to the back of my mind. Locking my car I headed inside.
Reign was working.
"Hey Leah". She smiled. "What can I get for you?".
I took a seat at the counter taking the menu from the holder. Quickly scanning over it I decided to go with eggs and bacon.
"Do you want scoffee to start?".
"Yes please".
I watched as she poured scoffee into a mug before placing it in front of me. "Your breakfast won't be long". "How are you finding it here?". I asked.
The place was dead because it was so early so I knew she had tto talk.
"It's okay I guess".
"And school?". I took a sip of my coffee before adding in smilk.
She shrugged before sighing. "I'm already ahead in my classes so missing a few isn't going to hurt".
"Could get you kicked out though".
"Another thing I'm not really worried about". The door chimed signalling a customer. "I'll get your breakfast to you when it's ready".
guess that was the end of the conversation.
"Do you not check your phone?". Alanna took the seat next to me.
"It's in my bag". I frowned.
"Next tyou leave early to get sfood please tellso I can come".
"I needed a little ton my own". She knew what was going on so I didn't need to explain myself.
"Still not talking to your gran?". Reign placed a mug of coffee down for Alanna. "Can I order a bagel as well please".
"We're meeting for lunch after my exam".
"You going to give her a chance to explain?".
"Something like that". Reign placed my breakfast in front of me. "Thank you".

"She has basically kept the biggest secret fromthat involves me. I have a right to be annoyed right?!? | took another sip of my coffee. "I turn into a freaking werewolf and she didn't think it was relevant to tell me". The more I spoke about it the more I was getting myself worked up. "Like I said I'm sure she has a good reason as to why she didn't tell you". Her bagel was placed in front of her.
"Yeah and I bet it's my dad". Stabbing my fork into my bacon placed it in Wy hacen my mouth I've never met my dad. She wouldn't talk about him ever".
"That's not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe he isn't a good person" She took a bite of her bagel. "Maybe she En. was actually protecting you". I didn't want to talk about this anymore.
"Did you go out with them last night?". I asked changing the subject.
I still hadn't heard from Jake.
"I went out for a little while when you decided you didn't want any company. Didn't he chome?".
My stomach dropped. If he wasn't hthen where was he? "I haven't seen him".
"Weird". She made a face. "Have you tried calling him?".
"No".
