Don't Come Back To Me

I'm in the play?

When I finally stopped crying, we all went down for ice cream to cheer me up. So far no one had asked what my dream was about or who Darren was. I could see they wanted to.

When sat down in silence and there was four worried faces looking at me.

"I know it might be private but something's obviously upsetting you. If you ever need to talk then we will gladly listen." Maya began.

" Yeah! Sometimes talking about it can help you know!" Hannah continued. Sounding happy she could contribute to the conversation.

" I'm sure Alex will tell us when she's ready." Lily said, seeing that I was uncomfortable.

I knew I could trust them and I did want to tell them about Darren. But they might think I'm making a big deal out of nothing or they may not want to be friends with a reject mate. We go to an all werewolf school so they knew all about mates but they didn't know what it felt like to be rejected.

" Is Darren your mate?" Morgan blurted out. Lily shot her a look that said 'be more sensitive,'. " Sorry! I should shut up shouldn't I?"

"It's fine." I said. I took a deep breathe to calm myself down and convinced myself to tell them before I got too scared. " Roughly a month before I moved here I met my mate, Darren." I started, looking round at all their faces. They looked interested and sympathetic, probably because they could guess where this story was going."He seemed perfect and everything was going really well. I was so in love with him and I thought he loved me too. On the night we supposed to complete the mating process, I brought him back to meet my family, including my sister. I left the house for half an hour and when I came back I found him and my sister, Kayla, in bed together." My throat choaked up and my eyes started to water as I remembered the pain. Morgan reached round to give me a hug.

"Is that why you moved here?" Maya asked. I nodded. Retelling the story made me want to curl up in the corner and cry my eyes out. I could feel the tears building up in my eyes, threatening to fall. Get a grip Alex! He's just a boy! It happened. Crying doesn't change that! Get over it and move on! You only knew him for a month and he's obviously not a great person. You're not worth his time so he's not worth yours!

You know in books when a mini dramatic pep talk inside the character head stops them from crying just like the mini pep talk I just gave myself. Yeah?..... It doesn't work. Before too long I was crying again, being hugged from all sides.

After another ten minutes, I got myself to stop crying. I tried to convince them to let me go home but they were all worried I was too upset. I managed to get away as long as I promised to call them.

As soon as I got out of Morgan's house I drove as fast as I could to mine, shifted into my wolf and ran to the piano.

I shifted back, got changed and sat down at the piano. I had pretty much finished the beginner book the last time I came but I only did the right hand. I played some of the left hand parts and they were mainly just chords. I looked up a couple of the notes in the bass clef a few days ago so I roughly knew where the notes were. I tried to play Mary had a little lamb with both hands and found it wasn't that hard. I worked through the book again using both hands. By the end I could pretty confidently sight read most of them.

Even though I bawling my eyes out this morning, for the last hour and a half I hadn't thought of Darren or Kayla. I had only thought of making the music come off the pages and into the air. I already loved playing the piano and I had only been twice! Im sure if I played the guitar again I would love that just as much.

I had work so I had to get back. Plus my aunt was probably worried about me disappearing.

As I was walking to work I checked my texts.
