Caius's Mate

Eleven

A lump formed in my throat as I removed the pillow that covered my face. I stared up at the ceiling. "What do you mean we have to talk? What's wrong?"

"Izzy," he paused sitting on the bed. "There was a reason that your mom didn't answer."

"Please don't tell me," I whispered already knowing what he was going to say.

"I'm sorry I really am sorry," he grabbed my hand. "They killed her," he spoke lowly.

I closed my eyes. "Why? She was innocent. She was my mom. How could you  guys do that to her?" I spoke, inaudible.

"Izzy, I'm so sorry. If I could've stopped it I would have," he squeezed my hand.

I pulled it away. "Leave. Please," I whispered losing it. "I want to be alone," my voice shook.

"Would you like me to show you back to your room?"

I shook my head. "I'll go alone," I said standing up, not grabbing my walking stick. I got up and slowly headed back to my room. I tried to avoid everyone. Who knew what I would do if I ever found out who killed my mom. I got back to my room and locked it. I dropped to the floor, not even able to make it to my bed. I curled up into a ball by the door. Breaking down. "This is all my fault. I'm so sorry mom," I cried into my knees. "This is all my fault," I sobbed trying to breathe. I couldn't to anything. I couldn't stand. Nothing. My heart hurt. My chest hurt. Everything just hurts. How am I going to make it through this?

"Fuck you," I yelled grabbed the closest thing next to me, which happened to be Caius's phone that I kept and I chucked it as hard as I could against the wall. I don't care if anyone heard. I don't care if I get in trouble. I probably wouldn't even care if Aro killed me.

I lost control. Rage filling me. I stood up and screamed loudly grabbing the lamp and throwing it making it shatter.

There was a knock on the door. "Izzy? What are you doing?" Alec's room was right next to mine, he must of heard me.

"As if you even care!" I yelled.

"Let me in," he commanded.

"No," I replied.

"Izzy whats wrong?" he asked, worry in his voice.

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I heard the door unlock. I sat against the door trying to keep it shut but he pushed it open.

He saw me and shut the door. A key in his hand. "Izzy talk to me? Whats wrong?"

"As if you don't know!" I yelled

He grabbed my wrists pulling me upright.

"Don't touch me!"

"Izzy you need to talk to me. Or Aro-"

"He will what? Whip me again? Kill me? Fucking let him," I glared not in the mood. "I dont give a shit about that bastard," My eyes cold.

"Izzy talk to me. What happened?"

"What you probably the one? Huh?" I glared trying to move away from him.

"What are you talking about?" he looked at me concerned. His hands still around my wrists.

"Oh you know," I pulled away hard.

"Know what?" he sighs.

"STOP PLAYING DUMB!"

He pulled me to his chest. "Cry all you want. Just don't scream," he rubbed my back.

I tried to push away from him. "Let me go Alec. Just... Let me go," My body trembled. I didn't trust anyone anymore.

"Izzy what happened?"
