Always Mine {Book 3}| Completed

Chapter 34

C H R I S T O P H E R POV:

    I had ran right out of the room, slamming the door behind me just as I went directly down the hall, chasing after Lara Jean and try to talk to her. Just so she can give us both some kind of privacy and respect which I feel like she didn't at all. And of course, I felt confused of why Lara Jean was so upset. So I went right after her to figure all of this out. And I actually don't understand why Lara Jean had barged into the room like she owned the place.

   I had to look at it a different way and maybe understand what is happening with Lara Jean to actually be so aggressively angry that she just ends up walking away. So I obviously had to go after her and sort this out. I actually had to take a good few steps, and I ran down the steps, and I made it at the bottom of the landing. And making it into the sitting room, that's where Lara Jean was. She looked beyond angry and furious at me. It was as if I had done something only a criminal would do.

I hated just running out on Emma the way I did. It didn't hit me until I was already downstairs. I had seen Lara Jean just standing in front of the fireplace, and she looked angry and beyond upset. And I knew I had to be careful about what I say so she wouldn't get stressed. But I'm completely concerned about what could be going on with her to get angry. I can see she obviously doesn't respect me and Emma. And I'm not sure how to be close like this. Maybe Emma is right, maybe we shouldn't have even come on this trip due to Lara Jean literally screwing everything up with her dumb personality. And I'm actually so over it now.

  The room was beyond quiet. And I saw Lara Jean just standing there and she must've felt my presence somehow and she moved away slowly walking over to the armchair to sit down in. I went over to try to help her, but she slapped my hand away.

  I could tell she didn't wish to handle anything to do with me. And all I did was do my thing with Emma. And I've never walked in on Lara Jean and Ty doing anything. And I would never do that. I mean, it's called privacy for a reason. And Ty wouldn't even walk in on Emma and me either. So Lara Jean really doesn't care. And it's obviously the scariest thing in the world and I'm only terrified of what is to happen between my friendship let alone my relationship with Emma if Lara Jean keeps doing this.

   Is there anything I can do to change how she feels? Is there anything I can do to at least try to make her accept it? I'm obviously not getting it. And I just don't get it. And I wish for her to accept it. But there's something about Emma that Lara Jean doesn't like. It's obviously the past and she just can't forgive even though it had nothing to do with her. Emma has been through a lot. And I thought Lara Jean would at least see that. But apparently, Lara Jean looks at Emma like she's the villain.

Lara Jean is giving me the look like she wants to say something so nasty that it might actually piss me off, and she knows it will. I tell myself to breathe and not lose my temper. I'm impatient, and I rather not even have to say anything to Lara Jean. But for some reason, I don't feel remorseful for Lara Jean's behavior. I'm not falling for the whole victim act she's playing since Emma came around. And I clearly don't like it at all.

"You seem to be around in one piece." Lara Jean said, which seemed more critical and judgmental than she wanted it to sound.

I couldn't even believe what I was hearing from her. But I hid this part of me that wanted to snap at her. So I did everything that I could to not get angry.

"Why do you care, anyways?" I asked calmly.

  "You do realize I care about you. And when I say this, I mean I want you to be happy. But I already know that you are not gonna have any happiness with that bitch up there." She had the most unsettling eyes that could barely look at me for five minutes, and all I wanted to do was tell her off so bad. If she was a guy she'd be punched, if she wasn't pregnant I wouldn't mind arguing with her like a wild animal.
