Rejection HURTS, Revenge Can Help

Chapter 8

It has been two weeks since I left and I felt awesome. Everyone is awesome to me and for once I feel like I belong. So far no one has mistreated me. It almost like they don't care that I can't shift into a wolf. I finally have a place to call home. While everything seemed awesome there was one thing that upsets me. My 'mate' Xavier. So much for a soul mate. He has been ignoring me for most of the 2 weeks. I was kinda depressed. However, Sol and Zane's cousin(one of the hotties from when the water fight broke out), was definitely paying attention to me.

He is so nice with his chocolate eyes so deep that I could get swallowed in forever. He was there for me these past few weeks. He never has said anything to me and hell I don't even know his name! What really was amazing though was how comfortable I felt around him. Especially when he wraps his arms around me while I cry into his black jacket he is always wearing after telling him about Xavier. He is the only one who knows. Though he has never spoken, I felt as if I could pour my heart out to him. And I know he doesn't judge me,but he seems so depressed whenever he finds me bawling my eyes out. We never have touched skin to skin though. And whenever he seems like he is about to speak, something interrupts us. Even though he has never said anything, his eyes spoke for him. I felt almost like I could hear him in my head. Straighten your ass out right now and make Xavier make a choice. You don't deserve this heartache and he can't play with your heart forever. He only doing this because you let him. Xavier has made his move. It is time for you to make yours.

And he is right.Time to stop beating around the bush. I need an answer right now.I walked out of my room and ran to the game room where I knew all the boys were at. On my way, my head buzzed with what could happen. My heart pounded as my stomach fluttered when I arrived in front of the door. I gnawed my lip as doubt started to cloud my mind.What if he doesn't want me? I don't think my soul could take another rejection...but being in dark about whether he wants me or not is worse. I need to know once and for all so I can at least move on.

I straightened my back. With that last thought in my mind, I twisted the door knob and pushed open the door. My stomach dropped as I took in the scene. Sol and Zane were playing on the PlayStation,but Xavier was making out with some girl. Fury burned through me,but I calmed down before I knocked on the wall, signaling I was in the room. Xavier's head whipped toward me and our eyes met. His green eyes swarm with surprise which quickly turned into remorse. Then his eyes blanked before looking away. I shook my head in disappointment and walked inside. I saw there was no room so I walked over to Sol and Zane and sat on Zane's lap while putting my feet up on Sol's. I grabbed Zane's controller and started to play for him because he sucked. He literally had the most deaths. He died 30 times with only three kills. That is depressing. I used to play this game 24/7 before Alexander showed up. I was definitely a gamer. And that used to irritate my mom to no end. It's been some years and I am a little rusty. I'd like to see if I still got it. I poked Sol with my big toe. "Restart the game. Even I can't come back from his stats."

Sol nodded in understanding and ended the game. I felt Xavier's eyes burning a hole in the side of my face. However, I continued to ignore his presence.

Lets see how you like it, jackass.

"Sephy, before we start this game I want to let you know something. Just because you are a girl, doesn't mean I am going easy on you."

I nodded in agreement."Good. I wanna beat you while you go full out. That way you can't say you went easy on me. "

I poked my tongue out at him. Zane chuckled under me and messed my hair in a brotherly way. Sol raised a brow at my bravado and nodded in the acceptance of my challenge. "Okay. But when I beat you, don't be whining and begging for a rematch."
