The Alpha's Girl

Part 8

Okay, look, there's a reason for this extremely awkward period stuff that's coming up. I promise. Just bear with me.

*Em POV*

I had fallen asleep last night, mid-conversation. And when I woke up, he was gone.

The bed was cold beside me, making me wonder if he was ever there at all, maybe I dreamed I everything.

It was Saturday, and my original plan was to be with Jake all weekend, but I suppose that's not going to happen anymore.

I texted him, feeling crazy. It does feel like everything was a dream, it's the only explanation.

'Hey.' -Em

No immediate answer, so I wait a few minutes, but still no answer.

I figure he's busy, maybe doing homework or working? I doubt he's in the woods, running around, in the form of a wolf.

It was about noon now, so I decided to take a shower.

It was a very long shower, probably about an hour. And when I got out, the very first thing I did was check my phone for an answer. Nothing.

So I got dressed, just in a pair of leggings and over-sized t-shirt. Then I checked again.  Still Nothing.

So I layed back down and binge-watched a show on Netflix.

It was now midnight, and I was a little more than half-way through the first season. I hadn't checked my phone the whole time, on purposely trying not to because every time I did, I became more sad.

But it has been so long now, and I thought that whatever he has been doing, should be done.

So I check again. Nothing.

Maybe my message didn't go through.

So I text again,

'Hey, old friend. What's up?' -Em

I've never been one to be upset when someone doesn't answer, Hell, I never answer people myself.

But in this situation, where I'm starting to think that I'm literally crazy. That nothing about yesterday was real, I needed him to text back.

But not only that, I missed him. If I had known that he was going to leave, I would have basked in his warmth a little harder.

I guess I really like Jake. I'm not exactly sure why, but I do. Everytime I'm with him, it feels like I've known him my whole life. But it's only been a week. Crazy.

By now, it was around 1 a.m. Still no response.

I'll just go to sleep.

_____________________________________________

I woke up around 3, in the afternoon. Technically, I woke up at 10 A.M, but went immediately back to sleep after drinking a glass of water.

He still hadn't answered, so I texted one more time,

'Hey' -Em

'We really need to talk' -Em

'Please'-Em

I get up, just to take a shower. I hate being dirty. I'm not some clean-freak but I like to stay clean. It seems like showering is all I do with my life. Which is almost true.

Why the hell is he ignoring me? What did i do wrong?

Was it because he felt like I was going to get in the way of finding his mate? I understand then, I want him to be happy but..what about me?
