"I need to hurry up and get home, don't ever come back here, Ari."
I'm taken back by his statement. I replay it in my head, to make sure I understood him correctly "Then how will we see each other? Will you come home with me?" I ask
"We won't. I can't leave, I have to stay here for my mom. I have to stay here, to make sure my father can't get you." He replies while he stands placing me on my feet, to walk away from me, gathering what's left of his clothes. My phone starts ringing again, I still don't answer it, I have to process this bullshit Adam is trying to offer me.
"What do you mean you can't?" I say walking towards him, turning him around, to face me. "You can stay with me. I can guarantee you'll do a better job next to me, than over here in this pack, protecting me from your father." I yell at him
"SHIT!!!" Adam yells pulling at his hair. "I shouldn't have come here. I just felt this pull to come and then here you were and the mating pull was so strong." Adam is pacing, mumbling to himself, inside the treehouse. Panic is traveling up my body, choking me. My heart is telling me, I'm not going to like what he's about to say.
"ADAM." I call out to him. When he stops to look at me, the pain I saw when he first arrived, has returned with vengeance.
"Adam..." I say his name just above a whisper.
"I'm so sorry Ari. I can't be with you. You have to understand." He comes to embrace me but I step way, creating a force field. "Ari, I will always love you." I don't even look at him.
"Just not enough." I bite out. I feel the earth begin to shake.
"Ari?" Adam calls when the earthquake begins
"GET OUT! LEAVE ME ALONE!" He's hurt me for the last time. When he doesn't leave on his own, I call upon my powers to shove him out the opening. At this moment, I don't care if he has landed safely or not. Once alone I fall to my knees and weep. Only the sounds of my tears and of my cell phone ringing, keep me company. After about the 20th call or so, I decide I need to let whomever is calling know I'm safe.
"Hello?" I answer
"Have you been kidnapped?" Nathan yells in the phone
"No?" I asked confused
"Are you hurt? There was just a bad earthquake.
Are you safe?" Nathan asks. His voice is frantic, filled with worry."Where are you Ari? We've been looking all over for you. Why did you sneak out the window like that? You know it's not safe for you to travel by yourself." Lorenzo's concern voice comes across the line, making me feel terrible.
"I... I'm safe, I'm not hurt." I reply, well at least I'm not hurt in the sense they're talking about.
"And?" Nathan asks
"And what?" I ask
"AND WHERE ARE YOU?" Nathan yells into the phone, causing me to flinch. I don't answer, I'm too ashamed to let him know where I'm at. I suddenly hear movement coming over the line. Followed by chairs moving, then a door closing.
Next, I hear Nathan's voice come across the line, with a noticeably fake calm. "There's no reason for me to assume the earthquake we just felt and the fact that me and Lorenzo nutted on ourselves moments earlier, would have anything to do with you not being able to control your projections when you're emotional."
I don't reply. What would be the proper reply to that? I didn't even realize they would feel the earthquake from here and I definitely didn't expect for them to experience the pleasure of me and Adam mating.
