Too Different

Chapter 24

"You guys will have to make up at some point and for me, this is the time."

"No way. He doesn't deserve me as a friend." Markus started.

"Stop. I was told you guys used to be friends. Isn't that true?"

"Well..."

"Is it or is it not?"

"Yeah, we were friends but we were young and stupid." Brandon spoke up.

"What made you stop?" i asked.

"I already told you. Over a stupid girl." Brandon said.

"I know that isn't it. Don't lie to me."

"I'll tell her since you are too scared to." Markus said. "The Alpha was holding a banquet for Brandon's birthday and I was obviously invited. His dad wasn't happy to say the least. He told Brandon that he shouldn't be friends with me because I was a 'blood sucker.'"

"I've not heard that one before." I said under my breath.

"Anyways, Brandon didn't listen to his dad and invited me anyways. We were all good until it came to the cake. His dad didn't give me any cake and I stormed off. Stupid I know, I don't even need to eat but at that age I were extrememly sensitive. Brandon ended up getting angry at his dad because of me. I felt terrible and went to go and apologise."

"My dad wouldn't hear it and I got into a heated argument with him. Then to make things worse, Markus decided to try and help by throwing a fireball at my dad." Brandon continued.

"I apologised even more but then Brandon turned full wolf on me and we literally burned the house down" Markus finished sharply.

"I never trusted him near me or my family anymore. And you, Emma, count as part of my family and I want you to know that he isn't safe."

"But your dad was so nice." I questioned.

"When he signed the treaty with your dad, you were small and he fell in love with you. Apparently you had the cutest little curls and the most beautiful eyes. I won't lie, but it's true." Brandon answered shooting me a lopsided grin.

"Stop it with the sweet talking. it's making me throw up inside my mouth." Markus complained. I've never seen this side of him. I always thought of him as a laid back person who didn't let anyone affect him.

"Well I'm going to stop this now. Markus apologise to Brandon and Brandon do the same." I said crossing my arms.

"Come on babe--" Markus started but was interrupted by Brandon's growl.

"I don't think this is a good idea." Markus said instead.

"Just do it." I said impatiently.

They looked at each other. Brandon looked dangerous whereas Markus looked like he couldn't care less. No one said anything.

"Go on." I encouraged.

"Sorry" Brandon muttered first. Good boy.

"You better be." Markus said then unleashed his inner anger. He pounced on a confused looking Brandon.

"What the hell?" I shouted before going fully vamp mode. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be able to stop them.

Brandon was on the verge of turning and Markus was just going crazy.

Markus clawed at Brandon's arm and Brandon didn't even attempt to fight back. Markus punched him in the face and Brandon just lightly tried pushing him off.

I pulled Markus off Brandon, which by the way was extremely difficult, and threw him away.

"Stop!" I ordered with the power I had.

Markus froze and bowed. Brandon wasn't affected since he wasn't under my family's rule. His nose was bleeding and had a scratch mark on the side of his arm. He smelled of blood.

"Please wash yourself." I told Brandon trying not to breath it in.

He nodded and shot Markus one last dirty look before I turned to him with my hand on my hips.

"What is wrong with you?" I asked.

"He saw it coming." He replied gruffly.

"He didn't even fight back! He said sorry first like a proper person and you decided to attack him?"

"He deserved it."

I slapped him across his face.

"This will not be forgiven. You will be severely punished for being disrespectful to a future alpha and your future leader." I ordered.

"Whatever."

I inhaled deeply to stop myself from unleashing what I was capable of.

"Stop being a pussy and just get rid of them! You know they are nothing but trouble, yet you still want to believe their kind and think that they will help us." He started rambling. "Brandon is nothing but a waste of air. He broke your heart so many times but you still run back to him even when you have so many other people who are worthy of you. You are so pathetic." He finished off before pushing me to the side.

I didn't know what to say. All of what he said was true. I won't deny it but it still hurt. I don't even know why I can trust anyone. Everyone seems dangerous in their own way.

I kicked a piece of stone roughly and stomped my way back home. There wasn't a point in going back to school. I guess was going back to my old ways. Just when i was on the verge of changing permenantly. Nothing can go my way.

I actually didn't want to go home. I didn't want to go anywhere. Maybe this was the end for me. I didn't have anyone. I was alone again.

No one knew where I was and I'm glad. I didn't want anyone to suffer with me here anymore. Brandon and Markus will eventually get over me. My mom will eventually forget about me and find someone else to take over. No one will miss me.

I never knew this was how I would fall. Maybe i was overreacting and it was sudden but everyone will forget about me. I always thought I would die due to murder or something. Well, actually this sort of counts as murder.

I looked down at the waves crashing on the side of the large, sharp rocks. This was the end.

I held my breath and prepared to jump off.

I almost thought that it would be like one of those cheesy books or films where Prince Charming comes to the rescue. Too bad they aren't real.

I looked up at the sky said 'sorry' and stepped off the edge.
