Rejected.

A note from me to you.

Yesterday I updated twice in one day straight after my first update and I just wanted to say that it was because I checked my book and saw I had 8 reads! I know that might not sound like much but it made me feel really honoured so THANKYOU soooo much. I hope you enjoyed reading those past three chapters as my as I enjoyed writing them.

- now back to the story!

I walked out of Luna Park and over to a pier I had noticed earlier. I remember when I was a kid I used to be too scared of sitting on the edge of the water. I had been afraid of falling into the water. Afraid of death. But now I realised that death was the only thing that could give you an escape from the hardships of life but, unfortunately, I also knew that life wasn't something you should give up so easily. I guess what I was trying to say was that when life gives you shit, you make manure because manure always helps grow pretty roses. Translation: always see the silver lining to things because eventually it makes you see that things aren't so bad after all. The only problem was that I couldn't find a silver lining for the life of me. So instead I opted for just sitting by the water and wondering what it would be like to be as free as the waves

I mean I wasn't being held captive or forced to do anything against my will, no I had made sure of that along time ago, the only problem was that I could never fully be free of my past because it always came back to haunt me. Just when I thought things were good something from the past would come back to ruin any happiness I had created in my life. I guess I was destined to have no happiness in my life.

"Shanan? Shanan!" I heard Will's voice calling out for me, I guess I wasn't destined to have any peace in my life either

"Shanan!" The closeness of the voice startled me so much I fell back into the water.

I was an adequate swimmer but when it came to swimming in the Darling Harbour.... Well lets just say I was screwed. The water filled my nose and burned my lungs and I felt my arms slowly begin to stop struggling, it was funny how I had been picturing my death in the water and now it was coming true. Hmmmm maybe if I pictured Taylor Launter in the water with me, that would also come true. I heard a splash meaning someone had jumped into the water. I felt strong arms wrap around my waist, helping me resurface

"Taylor Lautner I knew you'd come for me" I gasped out, choking on my own spit.

"It's Will, smarty pants" well only he could be so immature so I guess it really was Will, there goes my Taylor Lautner fantasy, oh well I was starting to feel really sleepy, maybe of I just closed my eyes I'd be able to conjure up another fantasy....

"Shanan! Get up! Wake up now! You need to keep breathing!" I felt someone shake me violently, what the hell I'd only closed my eyes for a second, was it a crime to want to sleep?

"Shanan I swear if you don't start breathing right now I'm going to give you mouth-to-mouth" and steal my first kiss? Hell no. I was about to open my mouth and yell at the idiot who kept trying wake me up but was instead met with something wet and slimy on my lips, what? I had this weird feeling. I was warm all over, in a nice way, but the kiss had seemed.... Fishy, in a not so nice way.

I opened my eyes to the sight of Will laughing and his face was such a beautiful sight that I had to keep reminding myself I was angry at him

"That was the worst kiss ever" I mumbled, I assumed it was Will who had kissed me seeing as he was the only one here but I was going to wait until I got my strength back before I made Will regret stealing my first kiss

"You had your first kiss with a fish" he chocked out

"More like a jerk" I mumbled, why was he even calling himself a fish?

"No like an actual fish" he pointed to a squirming fish that was right next to my face

"Tell me you didn't" I said threateningly

"Oh but I did" he said back. Stuff it strength or no strength I would get him back. Without thinking my actions through I lunged at him, only problem was he lost his balance and fell, landing with me on top of him and no this wasn't the part where I stared dreamily into his evil green eyes, this was the part where I threw punches at his face, crazily and failed miserably.

"Shanan" Will said as he restrained my arms. Queue the violins because, yes, ladies and gentlemen now it was the part where I stared dreamily into his evil green eyes.

"I'm sorry" Will said and I knew by his tone that he meant it but you know what? People had always hurt me and then said sorry only to hurt me again but sorry is just a word and to me words are empty unless they are proven with actions and if Will truly cared about me enough to be sorry for hurting me then he wouldn't have done something that required an apology in the first place.

"No Will I'm sorry because wounds might heal but they always leave behind scars and you can never undo the hurt you caused me Will" I know I sounded harsh but I had spent four years in pain, all alone when Will should have been there to help me and tell me cared for me but instead he had been too busy buying into the crap people had been telling him about me. He should have believed me, his mate, over everyone else and nothing could change the fact that he didn't.

"I'm sorry" he repeated sounding anguished

"I'm sorry too" I pressed a kiss to his forehead, ignoring the tingles and sense of righteousness, and then I left the pier and ultimately my mate.
