I walked downstairs cautiously, my ears alert for any conversations pertaining to what happened to with Joe and me earlier. After leaving his room I did my homework and changed into a pair of black cotton shorts and an over the shoulder loose shirt before dinner. Now, it was time to face them all—and I dreaded it.
"God, I hate that douche! Like who has lips like that?"
"He's such a freaking player. Instead of looking for his OWN damn mate he's trying to get our Demi in his freaking bed."
I entered the dining room, my eyes instantly settling on Joe. Oh, he's so gorgeous. He and his brothers were leaned in, having an intent conversation while Kevin was messing with his phone, an amused smile on his face. Danielle was nowhere to be seen—the kitchen probably.
Joe's chest reverberated in a growl.
"He's not going anywhere near my mate!"
I stood at the threshold of the dining room, smiling at his words. No one had noticed me yet.
"Aw look! Joey's being a possessive jealous mate!" Logan exclaimed, reaching over to pinch Joe's cheek. He swatted his brother's hand away, glowering.
"It's funny how Demi is your mate. Taylor is so not going to like that!" David teased.
Joe's face scrunched up in distaste. "Who gives a fuck what that bitch thinks? She's fucking psycho. Having sex with her was the worst decision I ever made."
Is it normal to want to bitch slap Taylor so hard her face becomes redder than a tomato? This must be a shifter thing because there's no way a normal person could feel this much jealousy. Thinking of that psychotic beauty made me want to scratch her eyes out.
Kevin cleared his throat and shot his sons a look of disapproval. "Language, Joseph, we're at the dinner table and no one would like to hear about your regretful escapades with Brody's daughter."
"But it's true!"
Kevin shook his head, dismissing his words. "Especially," He emphasized, "with your mate in the room."
Joe's jaw seemed to drop before his eyes snapped in my direction, as well as everyone else's.
Nodding my head in hello, I scratched my elbow and slowly walked over to my seat, a small smile plastered on my lips.
"Demi, sorry you had to hear about that." Joe atoned. Mimicked sound effects of whipping billowed throughout the dining room. Joe threw all his brothers, death glares which earned a giggle out of me. I placed my hand over Joe's across the table and smiled sincerely.
"It's all right. Really, I don't mind," I lied. Okay so I did mind, but I didn't want him to feel bad about it. It's his past. There's nothing I could do to change that.
He studied me for a moment, slight doubt running through his eyes before he reluctantly nodded and smiled at me warmly.
"Oh Demi, sweetie. I heard what happened today... are you alright?"
I smiled at Danielle as she sat in her seat. "Yes, Aunt Dani, I'm fine... it's a little much to take in and unbelievable but I'm coping."
"You call Dani: Aunt Dani? Why don't you call me Uncle Kevin?"
I laughed slightly. "Would you like me to call you Uncle Kevin?"
"Well... I wouldn't mind. If you wanted to.."
"Okay then. Uncle Kevin."
He grinned.
"Demiii!"
My head snapped in Jake's direction as he pouted at me.
"Yes?"
"Why didn't you accept my friend request on Facebook?"
"I totally forgot about Facebook.... I haven't been on in months. I'll go on tonight..?"
He smiled broadly and nodded.
It's amazing how playful everyone can be. I don't know what it is. I looked around the table, feeling love for the first time in 3 months. It's just... comforting to have a family again. I'll always love my sister, mom, and dad but I need to live my life. And I think, for the first time in months, I'm happy.

Don't really like this ep. -_-
READ PLEASE? Okay guys, I've been getting messaged that I don't post enough. I'M SORRY. I'm in an Academy for the highest students and I need ALL A's or I'm out. I have projects, homework, book reports, essays. You have to understand this isn't my priority. I don't want to be mean but please don't hassle me. I'm busy and I'm trying my hardest.
The most free time I have is weekends and even then I still have homework.
Please Comment&Like? :]
