Revenge

Chapter 17

I've been in the best mood of my life ever since Zach and I made up. I have been feeling a little guilty for how I acted to Will though. I just can't help the way I feel. Zach was the one made for me and I feel it deep in my heart.

How are you? Zach asked through our mate bond. After I left his house he did nothing but talk to me. He sounds like a love sick puppy, not that I'm complaining. I would rather have him talk to me than not talk to me.

I'm fine, just like I was five minutes ago. I said with a laugh. Yes, every five minutes I get that question. How are you? Almost all healed up?

I'm getting there. The scratches aren't so deep anymore. I'll be fine in a few days. What are you going to do today?

I think I might go see my friends. I was a blubbering mess yesterday and I didn't even ask them how they were doing. Jason was in the fight and I didn't even bother to make sure he was okay. What kind of friend am I?

Piper, you were just making sure your mate was okay. I'm sure they will understand. Jason has Lauren so he knows what it is like. Your friends were there for you though, weren't they?

Yes, and that's exactly my point. They were there for me, and I wasn't there for them. I think I'm just going to spend the day with them to tell them that I'm sorry.

"I'm so glad that you're okay!" Kara squealed as she answered the door.

"No harm done to me," I said with a laugh and hugged her tight.

"Everyone else should be here soon. We're gonna have a movie night. My parents are at some party with their friends and won't be home till late. But enough about me, what happened to you and Zach?" She asked and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"We only fell asleep together!" I said and her jaw dropped. Did I forget to mention that to her? She moved her hands in a keep going gesture. "He was clawed pretty bad but the doctor stitched him up. We talked about how much we care for each other. And after that we fell asleep. Then our parents found us and they basically know that we're mates but we didn't tell them. They have it all figured out though. I heard them talking about it when they thought we were asleep."

"So are you going out with him now, or what?"

"We decided to go on a few dates when he heals fully. I think him getting hurt has actually really brought us together. I'm pretty sure he's on board with us being mates now."

"You know I support you in whatever decision you make right?" I nodded my head, " I just thought you and Will were really starting to get together."

"I don't know what to do about that Kara. A few hours before the fight I told him that I love him," her eyes bugged out of her head, "and he completely feels the same way. All my emotions kind of went away the second Zach got hurt though. It felt as if nothing but Zach was important the moment I woke up. In not so many words, I practically told Will that is was over and I don't care about him anymore."

"Think about this Piper, really think about it. Everything you had with Will happened when Zach told you he didn't want you. Were you feeling lonely, unwanted, or hurt? Or did you see Will and just knew that he would make you feel happy? Everything you feel for Will could just be misplaced feelings that are for Zach."

"Everything I felt for Will was because of him. He actually got my mind off Zach. I fell in love with him because he made me happy when I thought I was going to crumble."

"How do you feel about Will at this exact second?"

"I don't know, confused? I feel like I still care about him but my wolf is so overjoyed by Zach that she won't let me feel anything else. But I don't want to have a relationship based on how my wolf feels and not me," I said as I curled into Kara's side. This is exactly what best friends are for.
