If I Fall, Can You Let Me Down Easy (ON HOLD)

Chapter Four ~How could you?~

•Elisa’s POV•

                I stood there frozen, he said something, but I didn’t pay any attention. How? Is what I kept asking myself over and over again? This is impossible, I have a mate.

“I already have a mate.” I said not realizing what I had said, till I had already said it.

He growled in response. He started to walk towards me, he then cornered me.

“Mine” he whispered then backed away.

I ran to the girl’s bathroom, on the verge of tears. How could this happen to me, why would my mind play tricks on me like this? I then remembered what the old lady, on the flight here told me.

‘…the wolf gods would be crazy not to bless you with a placer.’

A placer. I let out a loud gasp. My mind wasn’t tricking me, he really was my mate. Finally getting up, I made my way back to the last five minutes of Art class. When I walked in Elizabeth locked eyes with me. I walked to our desk, trying to avoid her.

“Why do you smell like him?”

“I fell, and he helped me up.”

“Uh huh, sure, just be careful, I don’t want you getting hurt.”

I nodded, wondering why she would tell me to be careful. Was he really that bad, I thought to myself?

The bell rung, and my and Elizabeth made our way to our lockers. When we had but away the unneeded things in our lockers, we made our way outside. I looked around trying to find Liam car, standing right beside it was the slutty red head all over my mate. I bit back a growl, but obviously Daniel heard it, because he looked at me with a cold glare. I started making my way to Liam’s car, when I was almost there someone grabbed my arm; I could tell it was Daniel by the way little tingles were shooting up my arm.

 “Let go please...” I said breathlessly.

“We need to talk” I gulped, fearing what he said, meant another rejection. I followed him anyway.

                He led me to a little pond that was in the forest, it was calm. He stopped and looked me in the eyes.

“We can’t be together…”

“Just save it, really. You’re going to reject me, just like my last mate. I get it, I’m ugly, I’m fat, but do you really have to do this to me. Let me just save your breath, I Elisa Grace Harding, accept your rejection. There it’s done, now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be on my way.”

I walked away, my wolf fighting me, my heart re-breaking. I told myself over and over again, you saved yourself from much worse pain, by handling it yourself.

•Daniel’s POV•

I was going to let her go, not reject her, and not quite accept her though. I kept replaying the conversation in my head over and over, one part stuck in my head, she was rejected? Who could reject someone as beautiful as her? I needed to find her and explain why I couldn’t be with her. I couldn’t be with her because; I couldn’t do that to Emily, my mate that had died. I felt like I would be betraying her if I accepted Elisa as my new mate.

I sat down, skipping rocks on the pond. I wish Emily, would send me some kind of message telling me it would be ok to move on. I needed that because; in reality Elisa is my mate too. And, I hurt me knowing I was hurting her.

“Emily, please, sends me some kind of message. I wish you were here. I miss you so much. We would have been so happy together. The wolf gods gave me a Placer. Her name is Elisa, I turned her down, because, I felt like I would be betraying you. I’m confused on what to do, accept her, or reject her. I just need your approval. Please Emily, please.” I said out load.

Why I just did that, I don’t know why. My life has been screwed up since she died. I’ve basically turned into a shell of myself since she died. I’ve been sleeping with girls left and right, to try and forget her. Addison was what you could call this week’s girl. I couldn’t stop myself, because it somewhat did make me forget a little bit of Emily.

                I ran my hands through my hair for the hundredth time today. I was so confused right now.

•Elisa’s POV•

I went home and cried. Why me, why me? Why did everybody else get to be happy with their mates, and both of mine just screwed me over. I needed to avoid Daniel at all costs, or else our bond would just get even stronger. I went to bed early, thinking why me, why me over and over again.

When I woke up, I thanked the moon goddess; it was Saturday, meaning I wouldn’t have to face Daniel just yet. I went downstairs, to find Aunt Windy, making breakfast. She handed me a plate without a word, and I scarfed it down. I was really hungry since, I missed dinner last night, but I was to tried and sad to do anything last night.

I didn’t have any plans, so I decided that I would have a movie marathon, consisting of The Notebook, 21 Jump Street {hey! Every heartbroken girl needs Channing Tatum!!}, The Vow, and Love Actually. I put The Vow in first, halfway through the movie, I was bawling! It was so sad!! By the end of the movie I was crying an ocean, but the thing that made me feel better, was that they got back together at the end. 21 Jump Street was next, it was hilarious, and I was really just watching the movie because of Channing Tatum. The third movie was The Notebook. It is a classic, and my favorite movie. I loved their love story, I guess it’s my favorite movie, because I want and admire Allie and Noah’s love for each other. Lastly, I watched Love Actually, I laughed probably the whole time, and it was just a great romantic comedy.

I was dinner time, and I was starving, Windy decided she would make the whole family a meal. She had made steak and potatoes. For desert she fixed coconut cream pie. I was all delicious, and I was so full. When I was about to get up, the doorbell rang. I got up and went to answer the door. I wish I hadn’t. When I opened the door, there was Daniel, with flowers in his hand.

“I’m sorry” he said, right before I shut the door in his face.

~Authors Note~

Another Cliffy!

I wonder why she just assumed he was going to reject her.

I wonder why he showed up at her door step.

So many questions, but you’ll just have to wait to find out!
