Chpater 160 10 days, 10 days had past and I hadn't spoke to him.
I knew he was watching, I knew he was there. I was becoming agitated, the full moon was close and that bloody moon goddess wasn't lettingforget.
I hadn't been to school this past week. I was vomiting, having dizzy spells and let's not forget the fever dreams.
My body was aching with need. My emotions on high alert. One minute I was crying the next I was acting like a crazy person. I was feeling the effects sooner than I thought. I was loosing my will power with every day that passed. He was respecting my boundaries, doing what I asked but in his own way.
He knew I was close to giving in.
I was fighting as hard as I could.
I hadn't heard anything back from Yale and I had yet to face Mr Gallagher after that dreaded night. I had took it upon myself and against the doctors orders to drive.
You would have loved to have seen my grans face when I told her. My hand was healing fine, and my car was automatic so it wasn't that hard.
I had been up since 6. I couldn't stop the fevers, every piece of night clothing I had ruined with sweat.
"What if something happens?". My gran asked.
"I'll be fine I promise".

"Then how am I meant to get to school?".
"You call Jake".
I rolled my eyes. Not this again. She was furious when I told her but still thought I should give him the chance to explain.
'Mates are mates Leah, we can't get out of it' her words ringing in my ears.
"I'll be fine. I'll see you when I finish and remember and take your meds". I closed the door behindmy heart hammering in my chest when I saw him.
He was playing around on the road with a football, Jack was there but I didn't recognise the other guy. Maybe West.
He wasn't wearing a T-shirt.
I couldn't stop staring.
The ache forming between my legs.
Swallowing the lump in my throat I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip. Sweet baby Jesus. How the hell was I going to get through this.
Our eyes locked.
That fucking smirk! He knew exactly what he was doing but I wasn't giving up. No matter how much I was suffering without him.
He threw the ball to Jack taking a step in my direction. I shook my head. I still wasn't ready to deal with what he did. I didn't want to know the reason or excuse he was going to give me.
I just wasn't ready to listen.
I didn't want to forgive him just yet. Maybe I never will. The smirk fell from his face, I had to get out of here before I did what he wanted.
I was already finding it hard enough, seeing him made it worse. I wish I could explain the feeling, the natural pull forto go to him.
Blinking a few times I took a deep breath unlocking my car and getting in. Not seeing him was helping but it didn't do anything for the need or the want.
I stopped off at Starbucks on the way to school. Driving wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I was currently sitting in the school parking lot waiting on Alanna.
I texted her earlier to see if she was coming in today. I felt bad for not texting her back over the last week. I didn't want to talk to anyone. More of less I didn't want to hear the pity in her voice.
Jake's mom was another one. Dozens of messages and I hadn't replied to one of them. They weren't to blof course they weren't but I still didn't have the courage to face them. Jake was the only one responsible for his actions.
Taking a sip of my coffee I smiled when I saw her car. She pulled in next tocutting her engine. Rolling down my window I watched as she jumped from her car into mine. "Hey girl".
"Got you scoffee". I smiled.
"Thanks. My moms been asking for you. Please go and see her".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't know if I can. I feel so guilty".
"Why?". She frowned. "You did nothing wrong. My mom is on your side. You should have seen her when she found out".
"I don't want to talk about that night".
I hated the way my skin crawled every tthought about that girl.
Her hands on him. "She just wants to know you're doing okay. You're family Leah. Regardless of what my prick of a brother has done".
"I know but I'm struggling enough as it is. Those damn fever dreams. I've never experienced anything like it". She laughed. "I didn't experience that because we mated right away-...".
"Good thing I didn't isn't it". I cut her off. "Sorry". I sighed. "I didn't think I was angry anymore but the more think about what he's dorie and how he could so easily do it the more riled up I get. How could he do that to me?". "There isn't an excuse for what he did. I just hope that maybe you'll forgive him in the end". "I'm far from forgiving him Alanna. He ruined what trust I had in him".
"Just prepare yourself".
"For what?". I asked.
"For what's about to come. He hasn't been near you in almost 2 weeks He's alr already starting to show how much it's effecting him". "Can we not talk about him please?". It wasn't helping how I was feeling. I had so many mixed emotions.
"Just saying". She opened the door. "Be careful because he's not going to give up".
"Yeah I know".
