Alpha's Choice (On Hold)

Ch.3

*****

     "Diana call Juls and tell him we need to talk." I ordered her. Diana speed swam out of my bedroom. I quietly stared blankly at the ceiling - trying hard not to cry - and waited.

     Julius came into my room without knocking, he would of been corrected by Mother or one of the others with authority. I could of corrected him, but i didn't, i was to heartbroken to even talk.

I gave him a quick side glance along with a gesture. He didn't say anything, only smiled sadly. Julius sat next to me and softly whispered in my ear, ''Everything is going to be fine.'' and he awkwardly rubbed his hand up and down on my back, but it wasn't enough.

     I gave him bear hug and silently cried on his chest. He let me just ruin his golden shirt because thats what friends do. I decided I had to put myself back together. I separated myself from his shirt only to find a close - to - tears Juls. ''Juls?'' i said. '' I . . . I . . . dont like - '' an then his voice cracked. 

When he recovered he said, ''I dont like when you suffer.''

''Juls, I - we talked about this. You can only be a friend to me, Im sorry''

''I know but - it doesnt change my feelings towards you.''

'' Im sorry but I will never feel the same way about you''

''Please'' he pleaded

''Im sorry'' i begged him to stop

 Now he had glimering tears shining in his beautiful cobalt blue eyes.

''No'' he said sternly

     I had a headache now. I wasn't going to deal with this this too - i had greater problems. I wanted him to shut up! So I did the most stupid thing I could've ever done : I kissed him.

     When our lips seperated, I saw tears were trickling down his checks freely with a hurt slash serious face. He abruptly pushed me away and left slamming the door shut. But was that not what he wanted - a kiss? What the hell.

     It took me two whole minutes to it figure out, and when I did I felt so horrible. I cannot believe I did that to my best friend. I myself wanted to cry. It wasn't his fault my mother had Changed. I decided I was going to apologize to him for being such an idiot, so I called him once, twice, three times, and then a fourth time. I convinced myself he just had it off - or at least I tried to.

     I knocked on his door heart - in - throat, I was trembling. He didn't answer but I had heard footsteps of a morphed - into - legs merman. I knew it was him because I know how his footsteps sound like - soft, almost catlike. It's weird though because when I look at him, one of the first things I notice about him were his perfectly defined abs and biceps - so strong - that boy.

Julius     

     I heard her knocks, her calls, and her pleas for me to stop, but i didnt listen. What hurt me the most wasnt her rejection, it was her kiss. It tasted of bitterness and hurt. 

     I got dressed into my golden uniform leaving out the armor. Today I was going to test mers for soldiers. I was supposed to feel authority but instead i was worried about Dione.  I stopped thinking about her because i knew I should now focus on the tests so she won't disaprove of them and make me look like a big fool. I swam, headed towards the Siren Island were everyone was waiting to be tested.
