The Pulling

Chapter 5.

------------------------------------

Enzo's POV.

I slowly get up again, staring and the nervous wreck of a man. Or-wolf...Jesus I am unlucky to meet him while drunk off my tail. I felt the pain coming back, and acted quickly.

''I'm sorry, I'm fine seriously...just don't make me go through that pain again-'' I mutter to myself, groaning at the slight pain. It goes a little, but it's lingering. Probably cause I'm not telling the truth. I know the strange man heard me, because he was glaring at me. Maybe so I wouldn't fall over? I don't know anything at this point. My head is dizzy and my chest hurts. I can't even think straight, I shouldn't have drank.

''I'll walk you home, you shouldn't have taken this path at this hour of the night. Others might be out. I'll just-watch you from the trees or something. I don't want any other werewolves seeing me with you.'' He muttered. He cared that I got home safe? I mean he is my mate I suppose. I shuddered at the thought.

''Whatever, I suppose.'' I say nervously, before brushing past him, heading down the path. I could feel him staring into my soul, but I just shrugged it off and kept walking. Only then did I hear him slink off into the forest.

----------------------------------

I finally head into my house, watching the trees and giving a thumbs up, hoping he saw. I yawn loudly, stomping up to my room and opening the door. I flop onto the bed, tired as shit from everything that happened. I was too tired for this, I just didn't know what to do. I looked up at the ceiling before passing out, not even getting changed.

It was like I had just blinked at it was morning, not a wink of sleep was in my system...or I didn't feel it. There was a banging headache rattling in my head like a maraca, and I rubbed my eyes while groaning. I looked over and saw my mum standing above me as I shook my head.

''Sweetie, school! I know you drank a lot but I made some food downstairs and there's water down there too. There's also paracetamol on the table for after.'' My mum said, nudging me to get up before walking out of the room. I slowly raised from my bed, before groaning loudly and rubbing my face. I kept my eyes closed until I could stand. I walked over to the mirror and looked into it. I was a mess.

My fluffy hair was everywhere, and had moss in it. Probably when I fell from the pain. I picked it out and brushed my hair to make me look half decent. I picked out my clothes; grey sweatpants with a random big jumper. I'm going comfortable so I can sleep in class. I put on my black runners and walked into the bathroom.

I cleaned up my face, splashing water on it, and washing my hands. I looked in the mirror, and grimaced. I looked horrible. Bags under my eyes, and I had glossy pupils and dry lips. Drinking makes you go wild. I shook off, before heading down the stairs. I ate some of the toast with butter and added some jam. Can't go wrong with jam.

Afterwards I drank the water with the paracetamol to kill my headache. I really needed that to kick in soon, it felt like a train had hit me at full speed. I drank the rest of the water to sober up if anything was even left before picking up my bag and my phone, saying bye to my mum and heading out.

----------------------------------

I walked to school, taking the city way this time. I sighed as I showed up to the school. I felt all eyes on me, and I ran over to Jess and Max.

''Hey, why is everyone staring at me?'' I ask them. They scoff and stare at me, before hugging me.

''We thought you died to be honest-'' Jess joked, ''-But basically you were like the star of the show! You were dancing, and drinking a lotttt! You're gonna be pretty popular now after your stunt you pulled last night. Don't leave us Enzo!'' She rolled her eyes, smiling widely. I chuckled as I nudged her.

''I won't I won't, I could never. You guys are my best friends I could never keep anything from you.'' I said softly. My heart ached at the words; I could never keep anything from you. I was keeping something from them. I was keeping him from them. But I had to, they wouldn't understand. And he did threaten me as well, but also we are at war, so he's clearly scared.

''Awh I know you would never keep secrets! You know we love and cherish you and you can talk to us about anything, and we'll listen to you, right?'' Max said softly, before hugging me again.

''Of course...'' I said, giggling nervously. I cleared my throat, and walked into the school. The girls looked at me suspiciously, but followed nevertheless. We walked into science class, and sat at the back of the class. I laid my head down, taking a nap.
