Love me, Love me Not

Chapter 19

Everyone was concerned about how and why Sariba attacked the way she did. Only two people really knew what was wrong, and that was James and Mia. They both knew she felt abandoned, and they both knew who she blamed. And they both felt helpless about the situation. Sariba no longer wanted James in her life, as long as Marti was in the picture. She felt Marti meant more, he'd protect Marti over her. She understood, love is love. But love hurt. She knew first hand. First Ty, who she killed by the way, than Carlos, who she walked out on after she found out about Marti and her Brother. She blew every romantic relationship she had. Maybe she had commitment issues.

Both wolf packs were having a meeting, trying to decide on if they should leave her alone, or kill her to prevent further attacks. Antonio and Carlos both knew she just wanted left alone now, but the two alphas, Klaus and Andres, wouldn't listen to them. Klaus moreso than Andres, because he already had a disliking for Sariba, regardless of their truce. "We should just kill her." Tony suggested to his new alpha. Carlos glared at him and scoffed. Of course he'd say that. He always loved killing, and he always hated Sariba. "We aren't killing her." Andres said with a low growl. Tony and Andres were now nose to nose growling at eachother in disagreement, and Klaus pulled Tony back away from the other alpha.

"Unfortunately we can't just let this go, Andres." Klaus said calmly. Carlos looked at his old friend in surprise. When was he ever calm? But he saw the slight look of anger in his eyes. Klaus and Marti were best friends, and Sariba got her in trouble with her old family, but that's not the problem right now. She and her brother got into it, and his pack thought it was their business. "We don't have to do anything, it's James's problem. Not ours." Carlos sneered. "You would defend her Carlos." Klaus said as he rolled his eyes. Carlos went to lunge forward but Antonio and Javi held him back. Meanwhile, Sariba was in her room back at her cousins house listening to music to help calm her nerves.

She had her earbuds in, Panic! playing in her ears and her MacBook in her lap as she wrote in her journal all of her feelings that she was feeling right now. She heard a light knock on her door and got up to open it, seeing Carter on the other side. She sighed and let him in, sitting back on her bed. "Nuggie, you have visitors." He said quietly. Justin and Griffin were currently in the common room keeping the visitors occupied while Carter convinced Sariba to see them. But she just shook her head no, and put her pillow over her head. She was distraught at what she had done to her brother, she didn't even know she was capable of doing it. She was officially scared of herself. "Sariba, come on.. they just want to talk." Carter said again. This time pulling the pillow from her grasp as she groaned in disagreement. He pulled her off the bed as she whined but eventually she faced him, with tears in her eyes. "I can't.." she whispered.

Carter sighed, he hated seeing his baby cousin so broken, and her discovering how powerful she was, in a horrible way, broke her. "We don't blame you.. you know.." Carter whispered to her, as he pulled her in a hug. She accepted his hug and gripped onto him tight and cried. She just cried. Cried about how she hurt her brother, cried about how she lost her best friend, how she lost Carlos, how she killed someone, rather got them killed. She cried about how she was losing herself. And Carter just held her and let her cry. Justin came over and knocked on the siding of the door, impatience written on his face. "They don't want to wait any longer.." Justin said impatiently. Sariba rubbed the tears from her eyes, sighed and nodded. She could do this.

Justin and Carter escorted their cousin to the common room, where a boy and a girl sat on the couch next to the oldest brother. The boy looked older than the girl, with short dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and gauges, and the girl was a younger carbon copy. She had the same dirty blonde hair, and her eyes were a hazel color rather than a brown. You could tell they were siblings just by looking at them. When Sariba entered the room, the boy stood up and walked over to her with his hand held out. "Hello, My name is Connor, and This is my baby sister Liv.. it's nice to meet you." Connor said rather nicely.. too nicely. His nice appearance caused Sariba to back up behind Carter in slight fear, and Liv rolled her eyes in frustration.

"We aren't here to hurt you. I'm personally here to thank you." Liv said sarcastically. She rolled her eyes as she spoke, but Sariba was confused. Thank her for what? Her cousins looked just as confused as she was, but her brother just looked mildly irritated. "Thank me for what?" Sariba asked quietly, stepping forward again. "You brought my best friend here from Spain, Layla? Yeah. I haven't seen her in years. So thank you." Liv said with a smile on her face, but her brother had a scowl. You could tell he hated the friendship his sister had with the shifter. His sister gave off completely different vibes than he did. He gave off innocent good vibes, while she gave off devious vibes, ready to pounce. It put them all on edge, but considering who she said her best friend was.

"Anyways, Klaus, My Alpha, sent me. He said you aren't allowed near Marti or Tulusia anymore, but the packs won't harm you." Connor said as he shrugged. Sariba just looked at him blankly. She couldn't care less about the soon to be goddess, or her mother. Tulusia wouldn't be around if Niall wasn't brought in the picture, and she wouldn't have this problem if she never went to that damned human school. "Whatever." Sariba shrugged. She turned to go back to her room, but Griffin stopped her. She groaned in frustration and looked at him with a glare. "Also, Little Southern, They want you to go home to the South." Connor continued. This was where her eyes went wide. Back to the South? She had no where to stay now, not unless she stayed with Phillip or Ali.

"This is a fucking joke right." Sariba sneered. Liv growled as Sariba stepped towards her older brother threateningly. "Unfortunately, no. They think it'd be best for right now." Connor said as he held his ground. Sariba automatically began thinking. Would Phillip let her stay with him? Or would the King? She was respected, so was her brother. Maybe she could get a job in the palace. "Fine." Sariba sneered. She turned around, and went to pack her stuff. That's what she was going to do. She was going to see the King and ask for a Job. Than they'd have to respect her. She'd see Phillip first, than the King.
