Rejected me. BIG mistake

Chapter 16

Kara's P.O.V

A week later

"Hey K. Hang out after school today?" James asks me as he leans against the locker beside mine.

"I can't actually. I have plans." I say, putting my books in my locker and grabbing out the ones for last period.

"With your friends?" James asks, sounding annoyed.

"No. With my parents." I say, closing my locker and walking towards class.

"You've been busy most of this week. It's like you don't want to spend time with me." James says, grabbing my wrist and stopping me.

"James this has nothing to do with you. You know why I have to spend time with my parents." I say, pulling my wrist out of his grip.

"That doesn't mean you can't spend time with me." He says through gritted teeth.

"I spend most of lunch with you plus we're in a lot of the same classes. I need to spend as much time as I can with mum and dad." I say, sighing.

"I don't even know why I'm bothering." He says, turning on his heel and walking away.

I groan and run a hand through my hair then walk to class. The class goes slow and I notice that James isn't there. I drive back to the pack house on my own and go straight to see my parents.

"Hey honey. How was school?" Dad asks me.

"It was alright. James is being a little annoying though." I say, sitting down in my chair and pulling the book towards me.

"Why? I thought everything was good between you." Mum says, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Well it is I think but he's just annoyed because I haven't been spending much time with him lately." I say shrugging.

"Oh Kara. You should just go and spend time with him. We won't mind if you don't visit for one day." Mum says.

"You guys are more important. Especially with the recent news. No. I'll read to you guys for an hour or two then I'll go and see him." I say, opening up the book to the page we were up to.

My parents don't say anything and wait for me to start reading.

I read for about an hour before mum and dad decide they'd like to sleep for a while. I bookmark the page and leave it on the table then head out of the hospital room. I decide to go and see James and hang out with him for the rest of the night since it's only fair so I set off for his room.

When I arrive I hear noises from inside his room. I decide not to knock and instead walk straight in. Once inside I find a not completely unexpected sight. James making out with another girl.

"Well well well. I can't say I'm shocked." I say, folding my arms.

James sits up quickly when I say this and sees me. His eyes fill with panic.

"Kara this is no-" He starts but I cut him off.

"Save the excuses. We both know it's exactly what it looks like." I say rolling my eyes.

"It was a stupid mistake." He says, standing up and walking towards me with arms raised.

"You seem to make a lot of them. So much so that before we got together I told you what would happen if you did this. And I plan on sticking to that. We're done." I say, holding up a hand to stop him getting closer.

"Please. Don't give up on our connection." He begs.

"Oh please. Our connection was weak at first." I say, chuckling.

"You know I've changed." He says.

"I thought you had. But clearly you haven't. I should have listened to everyone who said you were still the same bully that you were before I left. And the funny part about all of this is that it doesn't hurt. Obviously there is no connection left. Goodbye James." I say, turning on my heel and walking out of his room.

I head outside and walk over to the woods where I strip out of my clothes and change into my wolf. I leave my clothes in a hollow tree and take of running. I run at full speed for what feels like a long time before I slow down.

I hadn't lied when I told James it didn't hurt. I was right. I didn't feel the sharp pain in my heart that I had felt when he had rejected me. I didn't feel anything except anger. My wolf was angry. I was angry. All the advice from the people I cared about had been right. Ryder had been right.

I run all the way back to the tree where I left my clothes. I shift back into my human form and slip my clothes on. I check the time and see that I've been running for over two hours. I head back to the pack house and see Connor, Elliot and Claudia sitting in my room.

"Where have you been? We've been looking for you. We were planning of having a movie night together." Claudia says.

"I just went for a run." I say, shrugging.

"We were worried." Connor says.

"Guys clearly I'm fine. Let me get changed and we can start our movie night." I say. I stand up and grab some comfortable clothes out of my closet then go into the bathroom to change. I pull on the clothes and leave mine in the laundry basket. I head back out to see the others set up in front of my TV.

Connor and Claudia have made a pillow mattress on the ground and are lying on it huddled up in blankets. Elliot is sitting along on the couch with pillows and blankets surrounding him. I sit beside Elliot on the couch and wait for the movie to start. We movie around to get more comfortable and Elliot and I end up lying side by side on the couch with my head on his arm and our legs stretched out across the rest of the couch.

"Is everything okay?" Elliot whispers to me as the movie starts.

"Everything's fine. I just had some things to sort out then I went for a run to clear my head." I whisper back.

"I saw James when we'd split up to look for you. He looked a little distressed. Said you'd run off before he could talk to you about something important." He says, looking at the screen.

"Really? I thought I'd calmly walked away. That's how it felt at least." I say.

"What happened?" Elliot says.

"Oh you know. Just found James with another girl. Nothing particularly unexpected." I tell him, shrugging and looking at the screen himself. I hear all three of them gasp.

"Don't sweat it guys." I say.

"Kara. Are you okay?" Connor asks me.

"Actually I'm better then ever. That cheating liar is out of my life and I feel no pain. I mostly just feel anger and relief." I say. The others go silent and I continue watching the movie.

"I'm going to kill that guy." Elliot grumbles.

"Don't bother. He's not worth it. Besides out connection was pretty weak so it wouldn't have lasted." I tell him.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asks me, looking me in the eyes.

"I'm better then okay." I say, smiling at him. He sighs in relief and smiles back then we both turn to the movie.
