Alpha Rejecte BY His Human Mate

005 Don't You Hurt Her

"Oh my God, what happened to you?!"

With no answer, Lilith buried her face into Emma's shoulder, knowing her tear-makeup-mixed face would totally ruin Emma's favorite sweater.

"Come and sit, you poor thing!" The sweater was no longer Emma's priority now, "Tell me what happened?"

"I don't want to..." Lilith mumbled and tears burst out of her at the first sound she made.

The water tap won't even spill water like her eyes spilling tears.

"What did he do now!" Asked Emma with her teeth clenched, "HE did this to you, didn't he?!"

"It was me..." Lilith shook her head, couldn't complete too long sentences, "It was my doing..."

"How on earth was that YOUR doing?!" Emma couldn't keep her voice down, "All this because you missed his call?! Are you fucking kidding me--"

"No..." Lilith shook her head, sobbing, "It wa-wasn't like that..."

"Then what happened!" Emma let out a frustrated plaint, "Please, Lilith, you are scaring me... I have never seen you like this before..."

"He was kissing her when I--" That was all Lilith managed to say.

"Oh my God..." Emma got the picture somehow, out of Lilith's nonsense sobbing, "You deserve better! I've got you baby! don't you worry about a thing!"

Lilith just curled herself as small as she could under the pillow on the couch.

"You rest here." Emma patted Lilith on the arm, "I'll get you a cup of water."

Water didn't help.

Food didn't help either because Lilith couldn't even manage to take a bite. And movie, music, pillows didn't help. Nothing helped.

She didn't want to do anything but lying there, staring blankly at nothing.

Emma didn't know what she could do to help but to sit beside Lilith, stroking her lightly.

Sleep would help, but hours passed yet all the history with Jacob was like a messed up movie fast-forwarding in Lilith's head and they won't let her the comfort of unconsciousness...

Lilith suddenly sat up: "I have to go."

"Okay, where?" Emma asked with sleepy eyes, not understanding the situation.

"I have to leave the town, Emma." Lilith took a deep breath and wiped her face hard with her hands, "Can I borrow your car for a few days? I promise I'll return it, but I really have to go today."

"Oh my God, Lilith!" Emma gasped and was now fully awake, "Are you crazy?! You have a life here! You can't just leave your life just because some jerk--"

"Emma, please. I don't want to talk about it. I just have to disappear... now." As her last word fell on the ground, Lilith was already up.

"Lilith, please," Emma followed her around in the room as she began to gather her stuff frantically, "I know you are hurt right now, but we need to take time and think--"

"You know my intuition is always right, Emma." Grunted Lilith with her hands moving fast, "Remember how I told you to buy the lottery?"

"That was just luck!" Emma sighed, "But this is your life! Lilith--"

"Okay, then luck is how I ended up in this city after my parents died, and luck is how I found you as a roommate." Lilith threw her backpack on her shoulder, "I have always known that I should not be with Jacob, I knew. I went against my intuition and you see where that led me?"
