Our Complications (Kim and Jared) (Twilight -- La Push)

Chapter 14: Stone Cold Lips

I leaned in to kiss his stone cold lips

Kim POV

I looked at the time on my watch again. 11: 57.

"That's the fourth time you've checked your watch," Jared commented. "Am I that boring to be around?"

I smiled at him. "Of course not," I said. "I'm just looking at how much time we have until you've got to leave again." I lied.

"I've still got time." He smiled and pressed his warm lips to the corner of my lips.

Apparently, it was taking Jacob longer than expected to phrase back into human form, and Jared had patrol since he had skipped out on it so much. He skipped school to help out Jacob but decided to check up on me during lunch.

Last night a vampire entered the perimeter of La Push, and the pack went wild. It wasn't one of the Cullen's but Sam thinks it's a new born; some how he got past the pack and left, just like that. Sam gave permission for Jared to go check up on me for an hour.

"I don't want to go," Jared whined, and nuzzled his nose into the crook of my neck. Owen used to do that.

We were in Jared's car, both of us on the driver's seat. Jared had placed me on his lap and gave me kisses while I tried to get him to eat the sandwich I had packed for us.

"Me neither," I said as the two minute warning bell rung. "I got to go; Ms. Clancy will flip again if I miss this test." I pecked his lip, opened the door and got out. I hated lying to him, he trusted me so much.

"Bye Gorgeous," he said winking at me.

"Bye Sexy," I smiled before walking across the parking lot to the entrance. Once I touch the doors I heard him start the engine.

I was supposed to go to English but I took a sharp left and walked past the SAC hallway. I took a deep breath before entering the dance classroom.

No one was there.

I quietly closed the door behind me and stared at my reflection on the mirrored wall and walked toward myself.

My hair was in a messy bun with a few strands coming out here and there. There were dark circles under my eyes and my brown skin looked pale for the first time in my life. I looked so fragile, so tired, so not myself. I wasn't myself. This was the first time in my life that I felt completely useless.

I always felt that I was supposed to protect others that I always should be protecting others, even if it was from the truth. Ben, Mrs. Call, Embry, Megan, Sarah, even Dad sometimes. But I couldn't do anything now because I was just human.

Humans were supposed to be on top of the food chain. We are supposed to rule everything. We are supposed to powerful.

But now there are werewolves? And vampires? And God knows what else! ALL of them so much more powerful than us.

Why? Why are we created just to be beneath others?

The window creaked open. I gasped and looked to see Owen jumping down from the small window that was placed above near the high ceiling; a jump that would have defiantly killed a human.

"Hello, Love," Owen smiled and walked towards me. His shaggy blonde hair looking the same the same but shimmer like it was softer or something. His height the same too but he was much paler than before and his blood shot red iris looked a bit brighter then last night.

"Hi," I whispered. I cleared my throat and said in a louder voice. "How are you?"

Owen gave a little song-like chuckle as he stood a couple inches away from me and rested his arms on my biceps. His touch was ice cold, even through Jared's thick sweater, and almost made me flinch back. His touch didn't feel right; it wasn't like it used to be. And it wasn't even remotely close to Jared's touch.
