Love is Complicated Stuff... [6]

...Chapter Six...

[Jean's point of view]

After promising to visit again, I left Nick and Cody and returned to my fiance and family.

I couldn't tell Mom that Nick was still alive. It would reveal his secret.
So... What do I do?

Waiting for my luggage at the airport, I thought hard about what I would do.
I could postpone the wedding.
I could call it off.

But that wouldn't be right, either way.
I still loved Nick.
My heart would be cheating on Alan.
Not that it already wasn't.

But I couldn't call off the wedding for "no reason".
If I said "I'm not ready to get married", Alan would just say that we could postpone it.
If I said "I don't love you like I thought I did," it would break Alan's heart.

But I wouldn't be truly happy with Alan.
Not like I would be with Nick.

But, what if I did choose Nick?
Would he turn me into a werewolf?
I would have to change for him.
Change everything.
I would have to die for him.
And leave everything behind.
My mother.
My family.
My friends.

Finally, my bag came to me on the carousel and I grabbed it before leaving to the parking garage. I unlocked my car and loaded my bag into the trunk, shutting it before I sat in the driver's seat. I stared at the steering wheel for a while before I finally turned the car on.

I had decided.

With new resolve, I pulled out of the parking garage and drove home. I walked in with my bags and faced my fiance.

"Alan, we need to talk..."
