Her Luna

Chapter Sixteen

The last thing I wanted was to go back to the valley as I knew of the shit storm that was going to be waiting for me when I did. If I was lucky enough to forget about it the hundred messages blowing up my phone would certainly remind me.

I didn't even bother looking at them. I could already imagine who they were from and right now I didn't want to listen to any of them. 

She fuckin swore she wouldn't use that against me and I was foolish enough to believe her. Even with all the crap that's been going on I never thought she'd go back on that.

Fuck her! She was just like Jake and the others. The only difference being with them I expected it. So when it happened,  it didn't faze me as much. Well, it did, It just didn't. Whatever! 

I guess I thought something with her being my mate would prevent that. True love and all that fairytale human bullshit. Even with werewolves it's still the same shit. They just are really good at making you think it's different.

I must've sat in the truck for a good forty-five minutes at a grocery store parking lot making a fool of myself as people walked past til I had myself somewhat under control. 

No matter how much I may not wanna go back to the valley, truth be told, I didn't have anywhere else to go. Being a public display wasn't helping me feel any better.

I wiped my face with my hands to get rid of whatever tears might have remained before starting the engine and heading back. I still didn't like the idea of Nancy driving Amber back, at least Jake being in a pissing mood outta make it interesting. 

"Give them both hell, Jake!"

It wasn't even midnight when I got back. This had to be the worst celebration in history! Then again, it didn't have to be. I just had one more reason to drink til I couldn't see is all. Instead of returning to the hotel that now seemed like even a dumber thing to keep, i pulled into Jonny's. Fixing my makeup half-ass, trying not to look that terrible before going inside.

Jonny's is a fairly popular bar here as they do their best to imitate a more bigger city atmosphere. Taylor Swift's 'you need to calm down was playing instead of some country song which made me laugh. Bullshit! Don't you dare tell me to calm down, girl.

It also packed a younger crowd than most others around here. If you heard about a fight breaking out at a bar, you usually knew this was the place. Tonight, however, looked fairly calm. Everyone was talking and seeming like they were having a good time.

It's also a great place to play darts as all the boards was away from anything else, giving you plenty of room. I had even joined the league here a few years back for a short time. Unfortunately matches were five bucks and even that was too expensive for me so I had to quit. Maybe i'll look for my old darts. It would give me something to focus on.

Almost immediately I could sense the looks. I didn't see anyone here that I knew, but between those who knew I was transgender, those who knew my connection with Nancy and who she is, it was getting worse. I didn't give a shit. Not tonight and maybe not ever again. It's an attitude I was feeling like I might need to keep around so I ordered a glass of Black Label and took a seat in the back corner away from everyone else.

What I needed was to focus on was all the things that was going well for me and forget about the rest. Of course, the biggest positive in my life right now was being threatened to be swallowed up by a giant blackhole if I didn't find someone fast to go with me for my surgery. 

Why they insist on someone being with me? Not everyone is so blessed. I've dealt with vampires and werewolves, the cuts and bruises wouldn't be nothing. If they only knew…
