10 Things He Doesn't Know About Me

Chapter 10: He Doesn't Know That I Love Him

Kim's POV

But I never told you

What I should have said

No, I never told you

I just held it in

- I Never Told You by Colbie Caillat

So much has happened in so little time. Crazy how life happens, huh? Especially MY life. At the moment, i am sitting at the Athena table eating and celebrating with my family and friends. We had won the war! But my thoughts only circled around one person; Jared. He seemed pretty mad that i had lied about the real reason why i was going back to camp. I knew for fact that they were all mad at Emily, but they all forgave her very quickly considering that she was the person who fed them... i had promised to IM him the moment the battle was over, but i had not had time to keep my promise. To be honest, I haven't even been thinking about him until now. Now that i actually have time to think. Over in the shadows, I spotted Nico. I was about to call to him when that he was already busy... with kissing Cleo? I blinked rapidly. No, it couldn't be. When did they meet? Heck, when did they get that close? And why would he be kissing my best friend when he was "love" with me? Oh yes, i have plenty of questions for the pair of them. After a while, we all ended up in our cabins for the night. Percy let me use his fountain in his cabin to IM Jared. But for some reason only the gods knew, i couldn't contact him. I quickly moved onto Emily, who, thank the gods, i managed to catch before she fell asleep. Emily was clearly relived to see me alive and well. My cheeks were a dark red when I told her that some of the armor she let me borrow was damaged really bad. That's when Tyson decided to fix them for me. Though he said would take him a while. We both said that was fine. Emily looked like she didn't even mind. I woke early the next morning, before anyone else. Quietly, I grabbed the bag I packed the night before. I looked around the camp, putting everything to memory as I passed on my way to the hill. Once I got there, the sun was just rising, so I stayed to watch it rise into a new day. "Beautiful, isn't it?" A voice behind me asked. I whipped around to see Thaila standing behind me. I grinned. "Yeah it is. What are you doing up so early?" She shrugged as she moved to stand next to me. We didn't say anything as we watched the sun rise into the sky. When the sun was safely in the sky, we hugged before we moved to go our separate ways.

"Oh, Kim?" I turned to look at her. "Here, take this. Stay safe." She handed me a folded letter before descending down the hill back into camp. With the sun risen, the camp was waking up and was starting to come alive once more. Everyone started their normal activities. I almost went back down to join them, but Jared's face popped into my head. I shook my head and walked away from my family.

Let me tell you right now, never, ever take a bus from New York to Washington. That is probably one of the worst things I have ever done. Including the time Cleo convinced me that it was perfectly fine to sneak out in the middle of the night and practice our sword fighting. I read and reread Thaila's letter so many times that I could repeat it word for word from memory. It was an invention asking me if I wanted to join the Hunters. She knew that I was in "love" with Jared, but all boys end up breaking your heart and could care less. Her words, not mine. The entire seven day trips, that's how long I have been thinking about; the Hunters and Jared. And even the couple of monsters that attacked me couldn't get those two things off my mind for very long. You want to know the really scary part? I really considered about becoming an almost-immortal maiden who swore off all men for the rest of time. I would be able to leave all my problems behind me and start a new chapter in my life. I wouldn't have to deal with trying to fit in like every other demigod, or boyfriends turning into werewolves. I would be able to start over and become the girl I wanted to be. I almost called Thalia to sign me up. But the entire time, Jared's face kept showing up. How heartbroken he would be if I had left him like that. I would hate myself forever.

So when the bus came to a stop somewhere in Colorado, I got off and found a payphone. Pulling out the letter from my pocket, I called the number scribbled at the bottom of the letter.

"Hello?" I heard Thaila answer.

"Hey, its Kim. I have been thinking about your offer. Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn't be able to leave Jared. And despite what you think, we having something real and I don't think he will leave me anytime soon." She didn't say anything while I spoke and continued not to say anything for a few more seconds. "That's what I figured. But hey, it was worth the shot, right? Remember, if you change your mind, give us a call and we can see what we can do."

"Thanks Thalia. I guess I will see you when I see you." I said before hanging up. I glanced around to check for any monsters. Seeing none, I made a second call. I rang five times before someone picked it up. "Hello?" A female voice said.

"Hello, is Jared there?" I asked.

"No, he isn't. Can I take a message?" She asked. I blinked, unsure of what to do. "Ummmm…. Sure? Tell him that-" I heard a bang in the background and someone shouting something. "Why don't you tell him yourself dear?" She asked.

"Kim," I answered. I heard her call to Jared, telling him that the phone was for him. The moment she said my name, the phone was jerked out of her hands and a breathless Jared spoke. "Kim?"

"Hey Jared," I smiled, not seeing the suspicious woman slowly slide closer. With hearing his voice, I was suddenly brought tears of happiness to my eyes that I had turned down the Hunters. "Kim? Are you alright? Why are you crying? Where are you? What's wrong?" Jared asked rapidly. I smiled through my tears. "Yeah, I'm fine Jared. I just miss you." Which technically wasn't a lie. Better leave out the I-almost-left-you-forever bomb…. For now. Or forever. Which ever came first. "Right now I'm somewhere in Colorado. I should be back home in two days or so. It depends on the buses."

Jared sucked in a breath. "You're in Colorado? When did you leave? Are you alone? Do you want me to come get you?"

"I left about… five days ago. Yes, I am alone. And…. Nah, you don't have to get me. I'll be fine." That's when I glanced up and saw how close a woman had gotten. I looked at her while Jared said something. She looked like a regular mom you could find anywhere. But she was holding a big club and sticking out of her purse I could see what looked like a sheep leg. Yeah, going out on a limb, I would say she wasn't good news. Maybe, she didn't smell me and would go on with her business. I should know better though.

"Kim? Are you listening to me?" Jared asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah. I was. What were you saying again?" I asked, never taking my eyes off the monster. Jared sighed. "Kim, I asked you if everything was okay. You weren't saying anything for a minute there."

"Hmmm? Oh, yeah. I'm fine… at the moment. I have to go. My bus is here. I'll meet you at Emily's place." Then I proceeded to hang up and dart away as fast as I could. But a hand gripped my upper arm, bring me to a stop. The woman smiled at me in a sickly way. "Where are you going to dear? Aren't you going to ask a hungry woman find some food?"

"Uhhh…. It looks like you have food." I said, pointing to the sheep leg. She glanced down at it as if suddenly remembering that it was there. "Oh? That thing? I use that to get my husband when he's gone."

"Where is he now? You don't want to be separated from the love our life now, don't you?" I asked, shifting away from her slightly. With my free hand, I shoved it in my back pocket causally, wrapping my fingers around my knife I kept there. "Oh, no. But he's hungry and I need to find some food to feed the both of us. Now, who were you talking to little demigod? And how far away are they?" She started dragging me towards the buses. "Who? Jared? He…. He…. He's in New York. And you don't want to eat me."

"And why on earth not dear?" She hissed at me.

"Because I'm not going to let you!" I yelled, stabbing her hand that clutched my arm with my knife. She let go and howled in pain. I started running as fast as I could. Please Mom. Help me out! I begged silently. I dodged surprised people and boarded a bus heading to the airport. I wasn't going to stick around and let momma-Cyclopes eat me. Best get back home as soon as possible.

I seemed to lose her as I got off the bus. She was nowhere to be seen. But I worried how much she actually heard of my conversation. Pulling a couple of Dramaca out of my pocket, I paid for a plane ticked for Seattle. I boarded the plane with only ten minutes until takeoff.

On the flight, I tried to rest as much as I could. Who knew when I would get another chance to? Monsters seemed to be popping up everywhere. I safely managed to make my way through Seattle to Port Angeles on a bus. But that's when all the trouble started. I was looking up when the next bus headed to Forks when someone hissed in my ear. "You think you could get rid of me so easily demigod?" I screamed and then started running. I could hear her running behind me. It wasn't that far to La Push, right?

She chased me all the way to La Push. I somehow managed to get a lead on her, but not a great one. When I burst into Emily's yard, I realized what a stupid thing I did. I had led the Cyclopes right where she wanted. "Emily!" I screamed, running into the house. Emily came barling down the stairs.

"Kim! What-" She started to say but I interrupted her. "No time. What weapons do you have? I have a hungry Cyclopes on my tail and she will be here any second." Emily paled at my words before going over to the couch and pulling out twin swords from behind it. She handed me one and we both went outside to face the monster.

It took us about an hour to kill the Cyclopes. To complicate matters even more, the pack showed up while we were fighting bit, not helping what so ever. The pack had grown while I had bee gone. I was curious about who had joined the ranks of werewolf protectors. "Kim! Sword!" Emily yelled. I tossed her our remaining sword. We had been passing it back and forth between the two of us. Alongside the wolves, I watched Emily dance a dangerous dance ending with her shoving her sword into momma Cyclops's chest, affectingly turning her into a pile of ash.

I ran to Emily to see if she was okay. Seeing that she was okay, I turned to the shell shocked wolves. One instantly stood out to me and I knew that it had to be Jared. The wolf even had Jared's eyes. "Jared?" I said in a tired voice, taking a step towards the wolf. Jared proceeded to race over to me and sniff all over me. I laughed weakly, but hissed in pain when his nose gently my leg where the Cyclopes got a lucky shot. Jared stared at me with pain filled eyes. "I'm fine," I reassured him. He darted away, leaving me alone. But he quickly reappeared on two legs and only wearing cutoffs. I fell against his chest as he me tightly. He whispered my name as he buried his nose in my hair, taking a deep breath. "Ummmm...you might not want to sniff me Jared. I stink, and I am pretty sure that there is dried monster blood in my hair." I murmured. Jared pulled back to look at me ad chuckled. "Kim. You don't stink at all. In fact, you smell amazing. Like... pine... and flowers." I blushed at his words.

I looked over to see Emily and Sam kissing. I gagged. "No PDA!" I called out them. They pulled apart and Emily blushed. Sam looked like he could have cared less. He watched her every movement with so much love that i had to look away after a moment. After a few awkward moments, we all went inside the house, ending up in the kitchen. I sat on Jared's lap and reacquainted myself with his lips. Not, that I needed too. I clearly remembered the feeling of his lips on mine. Emily cleared her throat. I pulled back to look at her. "No PDA." She mocked me. I merely stuck my tongue out at her and then went back to kissing Jared, who seemed very happy that I did. I could hear Paul laughing, but I ignored him. In fact, I ignored everything except Jared... until cold water was dumped onto our heads. I yelped in surprise, letting a several curse words slip out, both in English and ancient Greek. "Kim! Who taught you those words?" Emily scolded, setting down an empty bowl that I suspected that once held water... I glared at her. "You did." I retorted as I got up to go change into some clothes I had left here from before.

When I came back down stairs, Emily was putting food down on the table with Sam's help. My stomach growled loudly. I quickly grabbed one of everything and started shoving food into my mouth. Emily just shook her head at me before starting to eat herself. After I had enough food in my stomach to quite the growls coming from it, i started to tell the basics of what had happened during the battle and the events since. Jared got upset every time I described all the fighting, but I he was getting used to me being in danger. Used to it, not necessarily happy about it.

Silently, i handed Emily the letter that had been living in my back pocket. Se froze when she finished reading it. I was glad that it was written in ancient Greek because Sam tried to read it over her shoulders. She looked at me with a questioning glance. In return, I gave her a pointed look and then pointy looked at Jared and his arms wrapped around me. She smirked and handed me the letter back. I shoved it once more into my pocket. "Don't worry about it." I whispered into Jared's ear when i saw his questioning glance. He looked curious, but didn't press the matter.

The new werewolves looked confused at our conversation. "I'm guessing that you have no idea what we're talking about, right?" I said.

"Yeah, an explanation would be nice," Jacob smirked. The other new werewolves, Embry and Quil, nodded their heads in agreement. I smirked. "Well, prepare for your lives to be turned upside down... again." Then I proceeded to explain everything Greek and demigod. Their faces the entire time were priceless!

That night, I stayed at Emily's place. I had called my parents to let them know that I was back home, where I was, and that I was coming home tomorrow. They were happy that I was alive and wanted me to come back home right then, but I managed to convince them otherwise. I had changed into my pajamas, which consisted of short-shorts and a tank top. I had just climbed into bed that Jared's arms wrapped themselves around me. I didn't want him to leave, but I was nervous about sleeping with him. But I knew that he wouldn't do anything without my permission first. And we both knew that I could kick his butt if he actually did.

That got me wondering what it would be like to fight a werewolf. You know, for research purposes. Once a child of Athena, always a nerd.

"What are you thinking about love?" Jared whispered into my ear. I snuggled back into his warmth. "Just wondering what it would be like to fight a werewolf-" At my words, Jared tightened his arms around me and turned me around to where I was facing him. "You. Are. Not. Going. To. Fight. Anyone!" He growled, placing a kiss on my face between each word.

"And why on earth not? It would be a good learning experience!" I protested. Jarred narrowed his eyes at me. "Because I love you too much to willingly let you be in any danger!" He roughly kissed my lips then moved away to let me breathe. I felt myself turn to a Kim puddle at both his touch and his words. He loved me? My eyes widened as did his. "Shit! I'm-" I cut off his apology with my lips. "That's why I left Jared," I whispered to him when we pulled apart. My breath was ragged, but I doubt either one of us cared at the moment. He looked at me confused. "To the war without telling you the real reason as to why I left." I elaborated. "Because it was my fight and if you were there, I wouldn't have been able to focus and protect the both of us. Because in reality, who can focus enough in a battle when the person you love is there as well and has no idea what he was fighting against." I said.

It took Jared exactly 6.2 seconds to comprehend fully that I was telling him that I loved him too. I was under him in seconds flat and his lips attacked mine. I did what any other girl would have done; kissed him back. I don't think I have ever loved him as much as I did right now. But I knew our love wouldn't wane, it would only get stronger, and I couldn't wait for a future with the boy I loved my entire life. Destiny can send you down many different paths, but you always end up where you belong. And no one- not even the gods- could deny that I belonged at Jared's side for the rest of our lives.

The End

And so this adventure has come to a close...

What did you think? Was it rushed? Too much? Anything? Well, I shall let the comments roll in *cough cough hint hint* I was thinking about writing another crossover like this one. Do you want me to? Or finish the other one, mainly dealing with Paul? (Kim is a demigod in that one as well... so you get a little kim-jared stuff) I was also thinking about writing a small one shot from Jared's POV from a scene from this story. About him finding out what Kim is or seeing her fight for the first time. What do you guys think? I got nothing better to do with my time... Gotta love summer! :)

I didn't think I would get such a great responce for this story! Thanks for everyone who review! (74 at the moment!) You guys are amazing! I am sorry for making you wait forever between chapters at times. I would write all the people who commented, but there are too many and I am feeling a bit lazy.

This is for Stargazer1364. She is an AMAZING beta, I couldn't ask for more. (Just so you know, I posted this without her sending it back edited for me, but I looked over it before I posted it... so don't blame her for any mistakes. I just got impaticent and I reeeaaallllyyyyy wanted to post this last chapter... ) I shall repost the edited version when I get it... Thanks girl for putting up with me for so long! I don't know what I would do without you!

Thanks again for reading my story! If you want, I can see if I can make a book trailer for this... that is, IF enough of you guys want it.
