ZEPHYR

"Are you alright now dear?" Esme asked.

After the fight, he brought me to his car and stayed there until I calmed down. I was straddling on his lap as he comfort me.

Why do things don't go smoothly? Everything is falling into pieces. It was supposed to be meeting to solve the things we are struggling but instead it turn out into a fight between my mates.

Why do the world always make me feel unworthy of happiness?

"How about Mr. Zeev?" I asked

I want to ask a lot of things to them, how did they know each other, why did they fight the first time their eyes met, why a supposed peaceful and collaborating meeting turns into a fight between them?

" He is what I would say a childhood friend. We are technically not a friend but we grew up seeing eachother grow. Mamá and Papá have an alliance and friendships with their pack and his parents. If you consider the context of our families relationship, you can say that he is like a brother to me. But we turn out into something opposite of it, he was my greatest enemy. Growing up and hating him at the same time. Something happened that now always put as into a line. A line none of us can cross to make up our so called friendship. Then now as you can see, as long as we saw each other we will have our knifes to each other's neck" Esme tell his story.

I can feel that there is something between him and Mr. Zeev that strongly bonds them. Stronger than being enemy.

But I couldn't pinpoint it.

" So what are we going to do now?" I asked.

If they hate each other, how can we solve this without hurting one of them?

This problem become more complex as we tried to solve it.

It became more harder and more confusing to me.

"I do not know how to answer that question dear, but what I said to you before is still valid. No matter what you decide about this as long as you think it will make you happy them I will respect that. " He kissed my forehead after he said it.

"But I still don't know how to decide things over this. And now I can't go back to my teacher to ask about Mr. Zeev again, I don't want other in people to complicate this problem more." I said.

I feel like the more people involved, the more we dwelled on this problem, it became more complex.

I'm already confused and tired to what's happening now, I won't be able to take it anymore if something happens again.

"Do you want to work this out now dear? I know how much you take a courage just to meet him now. And if so, I could take you to meet him" he said

Well he must know Mr. Zeev so I don't doubt Esme, but can I really solve this today? What if another fight break out again? What if both of them get injured more because of me? What is Mr. Zeev doesn't want to work things out with me anymore after what happened today? What if-

"Can you take me to him now? I don't want to overthink more about this situation. We already started it might as well finish this once and for all." I uttered.
