Break her mask

Promises are meant to be broken

"Mrs. Hart, will you please report to the main office."

I knew it. I glanced over at Martha. She was mouthing Sorry. She just had to sign the board. Now of course the principle would know. My parents aren't ever going to trust me again! It's amazing how one little mistake can ruin your entire life. And one simple "Hey you want to go to a party this Saturday?" and a "Yeah sure. What could go wrong?" made everything go wrong. 

"Mrs. Hart, did you hear me? Off you go," says my science teacher. She looks at me once then twice, with pitiful eyes. 

I collect my things and take my bag. Off I go! On a wonderful adventure... to death. I think about the reasons why I might have been called. The list is a long one. Maybe it's because I might be in run for valedictorian? With a 3.7 average I think I might be able to at least be an option. But that's probably not it, it's only the second semester of the year. Or maybe I'm leaving early, because it's my mom's birthday today. Well, I'll find out soon enough. I had finally arrived to the main office.

A sign that said "man offic" hung from above, this letters having been erased over the years. As I enter the room Mrs. Schaulor looks at me and smiles at me gently. "Hey Jules, I want to tell you something." I nod and she continues. "In life, we lose something, but that's because we can gain others. If something seems like a hardship now, later it will seem like a blessing. As a werewolf you have a pack that will take care of you and love you no matter what." 

I look at her, my eyebrows raised. I think I'm about to get bad news. Mrs. Schaulor had tears in her eyes, and looked behind me. There stood Mr. Alain, our principle. He looked at the both of us, and his eyes softened. "Can somebody please just tell me what's going on!" I ask in frustration.

"Julia", Mr. Alain started, "Please come and sit." We went into his office and he asked me about my grades and how class was. I gave him short responses, I was anxious to see what the problem was. 

"Mr. Alain, please tell what's wrong? Don't worry I'm a strong girl. Whatever it is, whether it's bad or good, I can handle it." I said with confidence

Mr. Alain smiled a bit, and said "I know you are strong, Julia Hart. What I'm afraid is that you will think you are too strong that you won't ask for help. Listen to me carefully, whatever I tell you next, you must find someone you can trust. Someone to love, cherish, and forgive forever. And you will never shut that person out. Okay? Promise me?" He said this, no he pleaded me to make the promise. But could I?

"My mate?" I asked.

"Yes", he said.

"Okay. I promise" I said reluctantly. He sighed almost relieved. But the I reminded him that he needed to tell me something.

Then he startes to tell me thing that makes my whole world crumble down. "Okay here it goes. You're mother was in labor few hours ago. Unfortunately, she had lost a lot of blood, and died. But she was able to give birth to Jayson, your brother. And her last words was "I love you, My Julia and Jayson, my hearts love."

By now Mr. Alain was in tears. Mrs. Schaulor was near the door crying.

I just stared at him with blank eyes.

I blinked once

twice

Three times

"Please don't tell me it's true please" I pleaded. I just saw my mom and dad this morning. It was like any other morning..

"I'm sorr--

"What about dad? Can you ask him to pick me up. I need to talk to him, take care of him. A mates love is the strongest of all." But as I said that I remembered another thing. Without a mate, a werewolf was basically half living and half dead. Oh! Dad, I must get to him quickly. Or he might--

"I'm sorry, Julia. But your father has killed himself." Mr. Alain said sadly.

But he didn't know the pain. The raw pain the was growing inside. My throat seems like it's closing. 

"You know the love of mates. I'm sorry Julia, but you must remember my promi--

I think about the promise I made with my dad when I was younger. I had falled down the stairs (I was a clumsy child) I hit my head on the stairs, and needed stitches. My had took me to the hospital and there he promised me he would always be there. He promised he would always be there until I was ready to go! But I'm not ready to let him go. 

 I cut Mr. Alain off again. "Promises are meant to be broken. I'm sorry Mr. Alain, but I can not keep this promise."

Then I run out of the door and take the first bus home. I just want this all to end.

When I'm on the bus I see a mother holding her baby. The baby was crying a lot, and the mother was trying her hardest to pacify the baby. Would that be me one day? Would I have to take care of "Jayson" and give up my life? Not taking care of him was not an option. My parents would have wanted me to be the one who looked after him. Hopefully we will be able to get through this.

I got off at the last stop and walked in the woods. I ran straight to the pack hospital. I say Elissa, the pack doctor, waiting for me. She engulfed me in a hug, and led me to the nursery. A little baby who was crying caught my eye. Elissa (Author's note: Bored yet? Please don't leave T_T Also Elissa is pronounced E-Ly-Sa)picked him up and tried to soothe him. I looked at her and then at him. I opened my arms, and Elissa gave me the baby very quickly. The baby stopped crying, and suddenly opened his eyes. He had blue eyes, the same as mine and my mothers. A vast blue ocean of color. Thinking about mom brings tears to my eyes. They quickly fall down my failed attempts to hid them are useless. Jayson looks at me, almost curiously, and opens his mouth and yawns. Then he cuddles in closer, and starts to fall asleep. 

Julia Hart, can you please come to my office?

Alpha Reagon says in mind link

Yes, alpha. I reply. I quickly leave the nursery and go to the Alpha's office.

Why do I keep on getting called to offices. Please Moon Goddess, give me some light in this darkness..
