New Adjustments

Chapter Thirty: New Friend & New Feelings

Elena's Pov

After Malia left to go find Wyatt and most definitely get back together with him, I was left alone in the nurses office.

I let out a sigh and sat down on the bed that Malia had been resting on.

I know I said I wasn't angry or jealous that Malia had chosen Wyatt over me.

I'm not. I really am not.

After all, Wyatt was her boyfriend, he loves her and I know she still loves him despite what happened.

It hurts...it really does...

But, as long as Malia is happy, that's all that matters.

And I want her to be happy with the person she really wants to be rather than being unhappy with someone else.

Especially when she doesn't feel the same way towards me.

Well, on the bright side, I'm leaving in just a few days.

Maybe when I go back home I can vent to my parents about everything that happened.

And hopefully they let me cry on their shoulders for not being able to get the girl I really cared about.

And going back home will give me a break from this place. I can clear my head and just take time to relax.

At least until I have to start college.

Now that's going to be stressful.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a knock at the door.

I furrowed my eyebrows together in confusion.

There's no way it's Malia, she already left to go find Wyatt and I just know that they're going to need time alone to figure things out.

And Malia's friends had left to meet up with some of the aliens.

So, who is it?

"Come in" I managed to say.

The door opened and I wasn't surprised that it wasn't Malia.

However, I was surprised to see the werewolf girl, Wynter, entering the room.

Uh...what is she doing here?

She had left with the others after bringing Malia to the nurse since Addison and Zed offered to stay. Along with Wyatt and I.

"Uh...can I help you?" I asked.

Wynter looked surprised to see me but it quickly went away.

"Oh, sorry, I thought Malia would still be here. I wanted to see if she was alright" Wynter said.

I hummed and nodded.

"Well, she's fine. She left a few minutes ago to talk to your friend, Wyatt" I said.

"She's going to talk to Wyatt? Why?" Wynter asked.

"Well, she's going to talk to him so they can clear things up and, hopefully, get back together" I said.

That part made my heart ache, but I did my best to ignore it.

Malia made her choice and I have to respect it.

I looked at Wynter and chuckled when her eyes widened in shock and happiness.

"Really?" Wynter asked.

"Yeah" I nodded, smiling faintly.

She let out a disbelieving laugh before a happy smile appeared on her face.
