Falling For The Guy I Hate

Chapter 20-He has a past.

A/N: This is Emily Smith, played by Jordyn Jones. Enjoy :).

"WHAT?" I yelled.

"YOU TWO ARE MATES."

"HOLY CRAP"

"HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?!"

"OH WAIT. YOU TWO JUST FOUND OUT!"

"MY BAD IM AN IDIOT."

"BUT HEY, MY BROTHER FINALLY FOUND HIS MATE!"

When I finished my rant, Emily, Parker, and Zeke were staring at me with three faces.

Parker with confusion, Zeke with amusement, and Emily with pure shock.

I mean, you really can't blame her. The last time I saw her was so long ago and when I would not talk, which was a few years before she died. (Not Emily, someone you will find out about soon enough. I'll call her mystery girl)

Then she smirked, "I didn't know you were so outspoken after I.. uh.. *cough cough* disappeared."

Zeke knew better though. He knew she wouldn't just leave, out of the blue, so he said, "Why did you leave all of a sudden? It isn't like you."

Emily avoided all of our eyes, "I needed to get away for a little while."

Zeke wasn't satisfied with her answer though, "Right before your 18th birthday? I don't think so Emily. You could've found your mate a lot sooner. And if you had to get away, why were you drinking that water like it's the first time you've even seen it in a few months? Why are you so skinny? Why-"

"ZEKE THATS ENOUGH!" I yelled.

"GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE RIGHT NOW." I yelled as I grabbed him by the ear and pulled him where we were out of earshot.

"It's obvious she's your mate. After my rant, that's obvious. But that doesn't give you the right to yell at her, asking why she left. Yes, we have an idea, but we can't jump to conclusions. She might have just exercised a lot to lose weight. As for the water theory, maybe she just ran a lot and hadn't had water in the last few hours. But it still doesn't give you the right to yell at her and accuse her. That's the last thing us girls want. Is for someone to either yell at us, stereotype us, or accuse us. You don't want to scare off your mate so much to run off, do you?"

I looked at the grimace on his face and said, "I take that as a no. Now let's go."

I grabbed him by the ear again and dragged him by the ear back to Parker and Emily.

I left him with Parker and grabbed Emily's hand and took her where Zeke and I were just standing.

I looked at Zeke and Parker who were talking and laughing with each other. I looked back at Emily to see her doing the same thing.

Except with a glint in her eye.

This will be fun.

"You really like him don't you." I asked.

"Yea, I mean how could you not-"

"Wellllll-"

"Don't answer that. But he's just so.."She sighed happily.

Hehe, teasing time.

"So, who are you and what did you do with my best friend?"

She deadpanned at me," Really?" She pointed at herself," this girl is your best friend. She just found her mate. So how's life?"

"Life is good. Um, you?"

"Yea" she said with a sad look in her eye,"it is now."

"Look, I know better. I know something happened. But I'm not going to push you about it. I know how much you hated that, and that's why we were best friends. So, when you're ready to talk about it, I'm here for you. You don't have to come to me first, but I would like to know."

When I finished, she was crying, so I walked up to her and hugged her. She sobbed into my shoulder, "I know. I know you're here for me. You always were and you always will be."

I saw Zeke making his way over here, but he immediately stopped when he saw my glare.

He looked at me questioningly and mouthed why when I said through the mindlink,

There's no telling what crap she's gone through in the past months. You can comfort her if she starts crying. She needs me right now.

But-

No buts, Zeke. Go talk to Parker ya duffus.

He glared at me, but he couldn't scare me. Nuh-uh. Doesn't work anymore.

He eventually went back to Parker. Parker started walking to me after Zeke talked to him a little bit, but I raised my eyebrow and he put his hands up and he backed away.

I smirked.

That boy whipped.

As Emily broke away from the hug, I heard Zeke say, Man, you whipped."

When he was looking at me, I raised an eyebrow, and Parker said, "You whipped two different way."

I rolled my eyes and looked at Emily.

She was looking between the two with amusement.

"So you heard that too?"

"Um, um. No. They look funny."

"Em, I'm not stupid. I know werewolves exist. Zeke is one, and I'm assuming you are one too. Em, come on. I'm probably a werewolf too."

"Ok, sorry. It's just we aren't allowed to tell humans what we are if they don't already know."

"Yea, I know. Zeke drilled that in me since a young age. Wanna go back?"

"Yea, lets go."

"By the way, I feel bad for you."

She looked confused, "Why's that?"

"You're my brothers mate. Well, basically my brothers mate." She looked at me in rage before I said, "Not like that. I mean, Zeke is basically my brother, because he..has a bad past. Which, you will understand why I won't tell you. But he is a gentleman, and he believes in honesty, so he should tell you soon. I don't know. I just don't want to tell you because I wouldn't want someone telling what happened to her(mystery girl)."

"Yea," she nodded,"But you still didn't answer the question of how you feel sorry for me?"

"Oh, ha. Yea, you're Zeke, my brother's, mate."

Her and I burst out laughing at that as we continued to walk back to Zeke and Parker.
