Out Of Spite

My Rock

Tanner's POV

"Hey baby I brought you some food..." Dakota said sitting on the bed softly. It's been a week since she told the elders she gonna basically kill her self. I refuse to even try doing anything. I heard her set the food down. She sighed "Tanner please I know you're hungry you haven't gone on a hunt in days..." I can tell she worried but I don't wanna do anything or eat anything. I just want to lay here. I know  I'm acting like I'm the one that's gonna die but I might as well die if I don't have Kota around anymore. She's my world, my everything, my rock.

    I feel her get up. She walks to the other side of the bed so she can talk to my face instead of my back. She sat down in front of me she placed her hand on my cheek rubbing it with her thumb. Damn I loved it when she did that. Her hands were always so cold. She would do it when ever I was over heating cause my emotions were too high. But this time it only made me sadder. Knowing that I was going to lose the one of the two most important people in my life. I know it should be her on this bed and I should be bringing her food. But it's always been this way. Kota almost never showed emotion. She's always been that way since I could remember. She looked at me nervously "hey babe...we really need to-"I knew what she was about to say . I shook my head before she could finish. She sighed and kissed my forehead before standing up. She walked out the room and I could hear Xander and Kota talking.

   "Did you talk to him?"

    "Yeah..."

     "And...?"

    "What do you think?"

Xander sighed. Then the two of them walked to the kitchen and started making dinner. After a while I decided that it wasn't right; me sitting mopping while Kota's probably crying inside. So I got up and walked in to kitchen.

When I walked into the kitchen Xander was gone and Kota saw stirring something in a pot. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She turned quickly like she was expecting it to be someone else.

"Tanner!" She Squealed happily. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around me. "Baby you're up!!" She squealed again. I smile and hug her.

"Sorry I've been a little bitch this past week" I said softly

"I don't even care anymore all that's matters is that you're up now" she said kissing me. Her phone dinged. She took it out of her pocket and looked at. I say her eyes move as she read the text her face getting paler and paler by the minute. She finally finished reading and looked at me horrified. "Oh god..." she gaped. She jumped out of my arms and run out the house.
