The Exception

Chapter 4

*Selena POV*

He stood there, both of us too frozen in place to really speak. Just as I was about to open my mouth to speak, however, I heard another door open. Pulling the ear buds out of my ears, I stood and looked towards the front door. I straightened up when I saw Amy come through the doorway, arms full of groceries.

"Hey hun, I ended up buying more than I planned to. Do you mind giving me a hand?"

"Of course. Hey do you wanna-"

As I turned behind me, I saw that my mate was no longer standing in the door way. 

"Who're you talkin' too?" Amy said.

 "Ah, Nothing, let me take some of those groceries out of your hands," I smiled, hoping she didn't notice the disappointment in my eyes. As I walked towards her, I saw Jake outside near the trunk of a car unloading more groceries. Having noticed me looking at him, he smiled.

"Does this look like enough groceries or what?" Jake commented.

Eyes wide, I nodded slowly.

"There's even more in the back seat of the car!" Amy exclaimed.

"Wow," I said with a chuckle. Sometimes I forget how much money our pack actually has.

After setting the groceries down, I turned towards Amy.

"I'll go help you guys unload the car," I said as I jogged out the door.

I ran around to the trunk when I was met with the one guy I really didn't want to see.

"Hey, Selena," he said with that stupid smug look on his face.

"Hey, Trevor..." I said irritated.

Jake poked his head out of the back seat of the car, arms full of groceries. As soon as he turned and saw Trevor, his expression changed.

"What are you doing here, Trevor." He said sternly.

"Nothing," he smirked, "Just got back in town and figured I'd come visit Selena."

"You really don't take a hint do you?" Jake questioned

"No. I get them. I just choose to ignore them," he said with a weird smile.

'What could he possibly be so happy about,' I mind linked Jake.

'I don't know, but I have a feeling we are about to find out,' He answered back.

"You see," Trevor said, interrupting us from our silent conversation, "Selena is just being difficult. I know can easily win her over because she doesn't want to admit she secretly has feelings for me."

"You're delusional!" I said.

"You just want me to think that you dislike me!" He spat back, "But, regardless, I didn't come here to discuss the affairs of our relationship."

"What? The one in your head?" Jake stated.

"Will you let me finish! I came here to ask Selena to accompany me to my school prom"

"You already know my answer." I glared at him.

"You can't resist me and you know it."

"No, I can't stand you. You may have been alright in the beginning, but you ruined it for yourself when you both insulted my sister and basically forbid me from any outside contact. And the funny part is that we weren't even together. We just went out for dinner once... as a group. And you pushed Nicole out of her seat in front of every one just so you could sit next to me"
