It Was Always You (book 2)

Nicole's p.o.v

I am so drained. After what happened tonight. My daughter Vivi's face will haunt me forever. I realized too late that I messed up badly. Who the he*l f*cks their sister's man? I did not raise my daughters to sleep around especially not with each other's boyfriends. Mama Lenny tells me she saw most of what happened through Everett's memories. I sigh. I can imagine what Vivi is feeling right now. She must feel horrible. I had to let Rue know that what she did is wrong. Although I do not think she cares. I know I let her get away with everything. We are more strict on the twins and Gunner than we are on her. I spoil Rue because I do not want her to feel bad since she is adopted, but today was too much for even me. I am the Luna and their mother and I have to fix this. I was trying to get everyone separated as fast as possible so things would not escalade. "How are you feeling?" Mama Lenny asks me. I look at her not even knowing how I feel. Like crap for sure. "Horrible, I feel so bad. How could Rue do this to her sister?" I say with tears running down my face. My family will never be the same after this. Santi walks in and comes and sits next to me, leaning over and putting his head on my lap. I rub his head. "Vivi must hate me right now. I handled this all wrong." I say "What's worse is that Rue doesn't even regret it. You know Liam said something that really bothered me. He said that Rue told him that she hates her sister." I tell them. I notice they both look at each other, but aren't surprised. Mama Lenny sighs. "Years ago, I had a vision that Rue gets into a lot of trouble and causes a lot of heartbreak in the family. Especially when it comes to Vivi. It's like she is jealous of her for some reason. We all know Viviana has such a pure heart and this is hurting me so much. Everyone accepted Rue when you brought her home. I watched you both put your other 3 kids on the back burner for Rue. You two didn't want her to feel left out and your kids never said anything, even when I could see and feel them being hurt by you. So I do not understand where all of these horrible feelings are coming from. She should feel loved and not be filled with jealousy, especially over her sister." Mama Lenny tells Santi and I. This can not be happening.

Vivi's p.o.v

Mr. Stone walks in the house and tells me he has something to ask me. I smile and nod for him to ask me. Mr and Mrs. Stone have been great. Last night Mrs. Stone came into my room after I showered and got settled and told me that she was here if I ever need anyone to talk to. She told me that everything happens for a reason and not to let what disgusting people do affect me. "The best is yet to come." She says and smiles and gives me a hug and a kiss. "My mate and I always wanted a daughter Vivi and since we came here when you were little we both fell in love with you. Out of all of your siblings, we always had a pull towards you. We are so happy to have you here," she told me, and at that moment everything felt right. I felt like they were my family. Like they would fill in any missing void. Mrs. Stone comes into the room and we all sit down. "Vivi, your mother and I were planning Evan's welcome back party. He will be returning within the next week, and we want to have a dinner party for him, but your mother has a lot going on right now, so we wanted to see if you would help us plan it?" They asked me. A smile fills my face. "Of course, I would love to help plan his party," I say. I am not sure if I will attend the party. I am not ready to see anyone or see everyone feeling sorry for being the girl who got cheated on. "Great, thank you honey." Mrs. Stone says. "I have school and cheer practice and will be filming tomorrow, so I might not come home early, but you both have my number and can text or call me whenever." I say. I make sure to tell them if I leave or when I come back so they won't worry. Today Jess and I left to film and Mrs. Stone was sitting here, worried. When I returned she said she didn't even have my number to check up on me, so I gave it to her. "Okay they both nod and smile at me and I excuse myself. I go to my room, well Evan's room and get my things ready for tomorrow. I started reading one of his books. I hope he doesn't get upset that I have touched his things. I put the book away and clean up a bit. I do not want them to think I am a slob. Once I am done cleaning, getting my things ready and have read for a bit I decide to go to sleep. Tomorrow is another day.

Jesse's p.o.v

I have been keeping something from my whole family. Even my twin and I do not usually keep things from her. I am going to tell her tomorrow though. I have been having s*x with this girl since I was 16. She is human. She came to me yesterday and told me she is 8 weeks pregnant and that it is mine. We aren't officially in a relationship, but we are always together outside of school if I am not working with my twin. She is nice and we get along really well. We usually use protection, but we were at a party one night and got drunk and had s*x and didn't use protection and now here we are. I wanted to tell Vivi all day today while we were out filming. But I just couldn't. I wanted to make today all about her. I am so angry at Liam, I stopped talking to him. The fact that he had me convince Vivi to date him, for him to turn around and cheat. He's pathetic. With Rue at that. She is pathetic as well. So many other people and they do it with each other to hurt someone who should be really important to them. I think those 2 only care about themselves though. I think back to Samantha. She is 8 weeks pregnant. I am going to be a father. At least I will graduate before the baby is born. Sh*t do humans have shorter pregnancies as well? Samantha doesn't know what I am. I will talk to Vivi and Gunner tomorrow, then my parents. I need all of the help I can get. I want Sam to move in with me. I just don't know what her mother thinks. Sam said she was going to talk to her and let me know what happened at school tomorrow. Vivi and Sam know eachother and get along real well. Sam is a little nerdy like Vivi, that's probably why they clicked when they met. I get all of my things ready, I will stop by the Stone's early in the morning to rush Vivi so I can talk to Sam before school starts. We are busy with school, then I have a game after, then we are filming. I hope Sam can stay with us throughout the day. I drift off thinking about Sam and our future together. We only have s*x right now, but she's the only female I have ever been attracted to. Maybe we can really be a couple. I would have to reject my mate if I ever found her though. With happy thoughts I fall asleep.

Vivi's p.o.v.

Ring Ring Ring. I hear my alarm ringing. I get up and turn it off. I quickly jump in the shower and get dressed. It's Monday and lucky for me today is the busiest day of the week. Then I will only have practice on Wednesday and I do film and edit daily, but I will be home by 4:30 everyday. Today I will get home around 7 or 8pm. I can then help plan Evan's party. I hope he is surprised and loves it. I wonder if he has found his mate. What if he brings someone back with him? I am instantly sad. I really hope not. His mom did say Evan invited some friends from Lycan Academy to stay here for a few days. I push it all back though. I shouldn't feel anything. I am just worrying about myself from now on. I will worry about love and a mate until I turn 18 or until I find my fated mate. Until then, no-one else matters. I get ready and head down and Jesse is here already waiting for me. "Lets go sissy, I have to tell you a secret." He says and drags me out of the house.

Today he is driving. "Vivi, I have to tell you something that I have not told anyone yet." Jess tells me. The look on his face tells me it is something serious. "I got Sam pregnant.She told me she is 8 weeks pregnant. I do not know what to do." He tells me. Our school is not far away, so we get there quickly. I haven't said anything, because I am shocked. He thinks I do not know about him and Sammi, but I am his twin and I am not an id*ot. I but I smell him on her and her on him. The smile on their faces when one sees the other. I do not know why Jess didn't think he could tell me. I walk around the car and rush him. "Congratulations twin, you are going to be a father. I am so happy. I am going to be an auntie again." I squeal. I really am very happy for him. Werewolves tend to have kids young. Some have kids at 18 if they find their mates right away and mom had Gunner when she has 18, so Jess being 18 won't matter to our family. My older brother Gunner has 2 kids and they are the light of my life. I love kids and I hope some day I will have my own, but for now I will be the best auntie in the world and love these pups with everything in me. "I want to tell Gunner and then our parents and I want to introduce them to Sam" Jess says and I nod. "You should" I tell him. "Will you be there with me? With us? You know your support is the only one that matters to me." he says, and I decide to be the bigger person. I nod at him. I will always show up for my twin.

"Move bit*h." I hear someone say and I feel someone slam into me. Jess turns around quickly and balls his fists up. "St*pid bit*hes" he growls. "Oh if it isn't the girl who got cheated on. How does it feel to know that your sister took your man?" I hear different people in a group say to me. "F*ck off" Jesse growls and pulls me away. We find Sammi and I congratulate her, but she looks sad and like she was crying. "What's wrong Sam?" Jesse asks her. "I talked to my mom and she didn't take it well. She said I have to get rid of the baby or I can't live at her house anymore." She says. My brother's face falls and I am angry. The fact that her mom can so easily ask her to kill her baby or get tossed out pisses me off. I know exactly what I have to do. "What are you going to do?" I ask her, well both of them. "I don't know. I don't want to abort my baby, but I also don't want to be homeless and give birth and be living in the streets. I am only 17. How will I even be able to afford things for the baby?" She asks and she starts crying. "We made a mistake Jesse, maybe I should abort. We aren't ready. I don't have a job." She tells him. "No, please Sam, you can't get rid of the baby." he tells her, now panicking. I am in tears over here too. I can feel his panic and I hate it. I really hope Sammi decides to keep my niece or nephew. "I need to look for a job and find a place to stay then" she says, wiping her tears away. "I am looking for a videographer to film my videos and an editor. I can train for both positions and I pay really well." I blurt out, basically once again fixing my brother's problems for him. He turns around and gives me the biggest hug ever. You would think my brother is a bear, not a damn wolf. I chuckle. "Thank you Sissy." he says and kisses my cheek. I technically do need those positions filled asap, Liam used to do that for me and well he isn't coming near me ever again. He's fired. "Are you serious?" Sammi says, looking at me with wide eyes. I nod "oh my god, yes Viviana" she yells jumping up and down. "Thank You Thank You. My baby is going to be so lucky to have you as an auntie. I also need to tell my mother I will be keeping the baby and that I have a job. Maybe she will change her mind." Sammi says. "Just keep us updated" Jesse says and kisses her head and we all split up and go our own way for our classes.

We meet up for lunch, then again for the football game. Sammi cheers on from the bleachers as Jesse plays and I cheer. Gunner and Amy and their 2 kids are watching as well. They never miss a game. I look for my parents, and I am surprised dad isn't here. He usually shows up. I am surprised to see Mr. and Mrs. Stone here. Mama Lenny and uncle Deacon and uncle Sergio are here as well. They are all sitting together. After the game I rush to my family and say hi and hug everyone while we wait for Jess to come out. I pull Sammi over to our group and introduce her to everyone. Jess runs over when he is done and as soon as he lays eyes on her he smiles. "Where's dad?" he asks and Gunner shrugs. "Congrats on the win, lets go eat." Gunner says and we all head out. I walk with Mr and Mrs. Stone and ride with them since I didn't bring my car today and I want Jess and Sammi to have alone time. We all go eat and talk and have a good time until it is time to leave. I am happy no-one brought up the Rue situation. Before I get in the car, Jesse pulls me over and he walks me over to Sammi and Gunner. He tells Gunner everything and he congratulates them and basically reassures them that everything will be fine. He smiles and hugs Sammi and says he is taking her home and will see me tomorrow. We all say bye and I leave. On our way home Mr. and Mrs. Stone ask me about my day. They tell me how excited they are for Evan to be home. "So he is coming home on Friday, so a day before his party. I am thinking we can have a dinner or an early breakfast the day of the party. Depends on the time he plans on getting here. Once he tells me we can plan around it." Mrs. Stone says. "Okay" is all I say. The nerves of him coming home are geting stronger. My stomach flips thinking of seeing him again. I tell them that next week I have a spelling event with my school's spelling team. They ask if they can attend and I am shocked. My parents never cared enough to attend my events. Gunner is the one who never misses anything that my twin and I have going on. I think dad goes to Jesse's games, because men love sports. "Yes, of course" I say and smile so big. I will finally have someone there to cheer for me. Besides me brother. That night I fall asleep and only dream happy things. The next morning I wake up and I am in such a good mood. Then the week passes by in a blur. Mrs. Stone and I planned a great party and Evan told his parents he would be getting there late, so we planned an early breakfast. It's now friday and I wake up and clean the room. Mrs. Stone and I cleaned the whole house yesterday. They don't have extra rooms here so Evan's friends will most likely stay in the packhouse or rent a hotel outside of the pack. I do not know if Evan will stay here or not. I go to school and I am so tired. The week flew by, but everything I had to do caught up to me. Jesse told our parents and mom was a little angry because she knows what it is like to have to raise a child so young, but overall everyone was happy for him. My parents apologized to me and said they want to talk to me in private after Evan's party which I agreed to. I do not want to stay angry or hold a grudge. We will see what happens. I cleaned my room this morning, so I pick out what I want to wear tomorrow to breakfast and I bought a beautiful dress for the party. I go shower and change into some comfortable shorts an old t shirt. I lay down and start editing a video, but I am getting sleepy. It is getting late so I decide to stop here and go to sleep so I can wake up early tomorrow. I grab Evan's stuffed wolf and cuddle up to it and fall asleep.
