The truth untold.

Chapter 14

Axel

I know I have to catch up to her, I know that they're probably with her, and I know that she is with him. What I don't know, is what scares the crap out of me, that not knowing if she'll give me another chance to show her I'm not a complete ass. This thing between her and I it has me reeling. I have never wanted to be with someone as much as I want to be with her. It's not like I just want her body either, but I mean come on it is gorgeous. I just want to be near her comforting, her building her up, I can't stand this distances this pain that I've caused her it is literally eat me on the inside.

The only thing that walking is doing is giving me more time to think about all the different ways she can turn me down. Werewolves aren't super-fast like Vampires but we are faster than most Supers, so I start to run towards the gym. I really hope to hell that Fae didn't lie to me and Gianna is at the gym with him, but then again she does seem to be extremely close with him. Oh that's right she refers to him as her brother, so yeah she's there.

I skid to a stop in front of the gym not even winded, but my palms are sweating and my hands are shaking. The collar of my shirt seems to have shrunk to the point where it's choking me and I can barely breathe; when did that happen? OK, now to pull it together so that I don't look like a complete train wreck when I see her. Yeah like that's going so great, I look like a freaking moron pacing back and forth in front of the gym building. I'm alternating between pulling the collar of my damn shirt because it still feels like its choking the shit out of me and running my hands through my hair which I'm sure now looks like I haven't washed it in months. I guess it's now or never, and I don't want it to be never, it hurts to even just to think that I couldn't fix this shit storm I've created today.

Sucking in a deep breath to the point where I can feel my lungs expand to their maxim capacity, and then exhale slowing trying to steady my nerves one last time. I shove my still shaking hands deep into my front pockets so they don't betray how messed up I really am. I walk into the main room which has rings and mats set up everywhere when I spot Deano another werewolf and a pack member of mine working the bags. Deano is older than me but still comes up to the school to work out seeing as humans don't do certain things that we Supers can.

"Yo Deano you see Az or Gianna anywhere?" I holler at him to be heard not only over all the noise in the gym but because he also had ear buds in.

"Yeah man I think I saw them...." Deano trails off as he turns around to really get a good look at me. "Hey Pup are you OK you look like grade A shit."

"Oh thanks a lot man, tell me something I don't already know like where Gianna and Azrael are at, and another thing I'm not a pup four years younger ain't nothing when it comes down to it."

"Yeah your right I was just messing with ya hoping to lighten you up a bit but I guess not man, They went into his office I wanna say about 20 -25 minutes ago. I don't know if their still in there but it's the best bet seeing as I saw that Shifter your always with head back that way about 15 minutes ago."

"Thanks man, I appreciate that." I take my one hand out of my pocket to pat him on his shoulder before jamming it right back in its prison before it can betray me. Turning around to head for Azrael's office I think I hear Deano mumble something about poor pups got it bad, which he is one hundred percent right I do.

Should I knock, do I just walk in I have no clue what to do but in all actuality I know I'm just procrastinating, trying to put off the inevitable. I take one last deep breath to try to steady my nerves which are shot to hell at this point. The door isn't completely shut all the way which works for me because I don't have to pull my treacherous hands from my pockets, all I need to do is nudge the door open. I can hear quiet laughter coming from the room as I gently shoulder my way in and stand in the back. Azrael is sitting in one of those rolling leather computer chairs and it would seem that he changed his shirt since I pissed him off and made him go viral. Riley which I have come to find out is not only a little bit out there is also one bad ass witch, is sitting on top of Azrael's desk with her legs crossed at her ankles, and there standing in the massiveness of Bain's embrace is Gianna.

My gut twists at the sight of her in the arms of someone else. I should be the one to comfort her; it should be me not my best friend. I know it's not anything romantic by the way he has his arms wrapped around her shoulders, but it still stings none the less. I just catch the end of what Bain says, something about greater satisfaction if you did it again. I don't really know but they all start to laugh again in that soft way that people do too afraid in upsetting someone. Gianna snuggles in closer to Bain and at that point I decide to speak up not wanting to get caught eavesdropping and more than I already have been.

With one last deep shuttering breath I ask "What's so funny? I could use a good laugh right about now."

I can visibly see Bain tense up at my words followed by a shake of his head. I really can't tell if he is shaking his at my words or if it's towards Gianna. It's probably directed to Gianna though, why would he waste energy on me he has pretty much written me off as well as everyone else. Gianna peeks from under Bain's arms and I have to lower my head. I'm so ashamed of the way I've acted today, with anyone else in any other situation I wouldn't give a flying fuck but it's Gianna and I do care so very much.
