The Rejected Mate {COMPLETED}

Chapter 15: Hurt

EDITED

The next morning, I woke up at 5:00 a.m. and got dressed in workout clothes. I grabbed a towel and walked out of the room.

I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. I than walked over to their gym that they have that Jackson was telling me about.

I walked in and set my things down. I started moving the weights and bags that were in my way and found a stereo that was off to the side.

I got out my phone and plugged it in. I scrolled down my music until I finally found the song I was looking for.

I played the song and the music to 'Hurt' by Christina Aguilera started playing. I walked to the middle of the room as she started singing and I started dancing.

'Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ohhh ohhh

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you, but I know you won't be there

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside, but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'Cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

By hurting you'

The song finished as I did the last move. I stayed in the position as I heard someone clapping. I jumped and turned around, with my hand to my chest. I breathed a sigh of relief as I saw it was only Xavier, Bliss' mate.

'Oh hey Xavier. How long have you been standing there?' I asked. He chuckled and shrugged.

"Not long. Just came downstairs and heard the music. Decided to come check it out. I'm glad I did too. You're an amazing dancer. How long have you been dancing?" He asked and I shrugged.

'Thank you,' I said and played with my hands. 'I've danced all my life. I just don't dance in front of people. Not many know I even dance,' I said in his head and blushed.

"Can you show me?" He asked me. I looked up at him, confused. "Dance I mean. Can you show me how you dance," He explained and I nodded.

'Yeah,' I whispered and walked over to my phone. I started scrolling down the screen for a while until a song started playing through the speaker.

I walked into the middle of the room and took a deep breath. I closed her eyes as the Rihanna started singing and begin to dance.

'I'm not the type to get my heart broken
I'm not the type to get upset and cry
'Because I never leave my heart open
Never hurts me to say goodbye
Relationships don't get deep to me
Never got the whole in love thing
And someone can say they love me truly
But at the time it didn't mean a thing
