Revenge

Blame

Chapter 5

            “Is Bella al-“was all Raleigh said before I attacked him. He hadn’t even made it fully into the room yet.

            “IT WAS YOU!” I accused, pointing a finger in his face. He looked at me in total shock.

            “Elena, I didn’t do anything, I was at work!” Raleigh immediately said back to me. I removed my finger from his face and shook my head.

            “You brought my family and I into this! You risked our lives for your benefit. You got me caught up in all this werewolf bullshit and look what happened!” I pointed directly at Bella, who was still lying in the bed unconsciously.

            “You blame this on me! What? You didn’t have to be part of this!” Raleigh’s face had twisted in rage and I knew what was next. I wasn’t scared; my rage had taken over everything. My heart was beating fast and I could feel blood rushing through my veins.

            “You dragged me into this by trying to be my friend!” Raleigh looked around at my family in disbelief.

            “Now Elena I think you need to calm down,” my mom said, quietly, from the chair. “This isn’t anybody’s fault.”

            “Yes the fuck it is! Raleigh fucking started this mess!” I accused again, staring Raleigh right in his angry face. He took a deep breath in and then exhaled slowly. I knew what this was, he was trying to prevent himself from transforming. “Are we getting angry?”

            “Yes we are!” he growled at me, getting right in my face. We were nose to nose and I could feel the breath emanating from his nose. “I can’t believe you blame this on me. I wasn’t driving the truck!” I shook my head.

            “This all funnels back to your sorry dog ass!” Everybody in the room was taken aback by what I had just said, even I was. It was one of those things that just fly off the tongue.

            “What the fuck did I do? I didn’t do anything! This is genetically built into me!” I snorted and crossed my arms, leaning back on my heels.

            “Here we go with this bullshit.” I shook my head, not believing what I was hearing.

            “It’s not bullshit Elena; you knew this from the beginning.”

         “Yup, and my idiot ass still went along with it! No more with this, I’m moving out!” I yelled, storming out of the hospital room and through the ER wing. I wanted to get away from everything, to be alone. I didn’t even hear Raleigh chase me down or anything, which hurt me even more. By the time I got back to the lobby, I was in a full sprint. I had to get to my car and cry, all these emotions were building up and my heart was beating super fast. I couldn’t stop all the emotions from falling from my eyes; it was so bad I didn’t even make it to my car. By the time I arrived to it, I didn’t even get in. I just leaned on the car and cried, continuously asking myself, why I got into this in the first place.
