The Eclipse 🐺

Chapter Seventeen: Tender

Days had passed since Boyd had died, and I had stayed inside my house, not attending school, not answering the phone to anyone. I was completely shut off from the world and my friends right now. I needed to keep my cool, because if I see one of those Alpha's, I was going to rip their hearts out and make them choke on it...

So, staying indoors was better than roaming around in the school, ready to kill them. But my hatred and anger for them right now wasn't going to go away easily, it wasn't going to vanish. I had to think of the positives, I had to think good memories of my friends. But it's hard when there's a monster inside of you, wanting to crawl out and be released into the world.

I can't cope being cooped up in here any longer, I need some fresh air, and to stay away from my friends, but keep an eye on them. I got off my ass from the couch, and headed for the door, grabbing the keys that was in the pot at the side-table that was in the hallway. Before I exited the house and the door shuts. As I made my way down the path, I held my hand up and flicked it to the side, and I hear the door lock behind me. I smile, as I reached my car and gotten into it. It was time to visit School...

....................................

I had driven to the School, and parked in the parking lot. Luckily, it was lunch time for everyone, so the car park wasn't filled. I exited the car, and slammed the door shut, as I made my way around the school to the field, to see jocks playing football.

As I made my way round the field, there was that under walk way you can go that leads up to the school. I had turned the corner, and abruptly, stop in my tracks, to see the back of Derek and Ms.Blake kissing one another, but it was a total deep and meaningful kiss. My heart dropped to my stomach as it was totally unexpected, as I had no idea how long this has been going on for. But I stood there like a dummy and stared, but they pulled back from one another, and Ms.Blake smiles as she walks away from Derek.

He stood there for a moment, as my eyes burned into the back of his skull and he feels it. He turns around to see me standing there, with my hands now in my jacket pocket. His face softens, as he walks over to me. "How are you?" He said gently, but really, starting off with that.

I scoff at his comment, as I look away from his gaze. "How do you think I feel?" I snapped back at him, as I returned my gaze. But he was taken back by my response, but I took a deep breath through my nostrils. "I needed a few days,"

"No, I get it," he replied back, trying to suggest he knew what I was going through.

"Do you really Derek?!" I snapped back at him, again. "Do you know how it feels to lose your whole family to an Alpha. Because that what happened to mine!" The truth was coming out now. I had taken my hands out of my pockets as I stared wildly at him. "Do you know how it feels, to watch your eight year-old Sister be tore apart right in front of your eyes," my vision began to blur, as I was tearing up.

"Yeah, I do! I lost my whole family - near enough in a fire, my mother burnt alive!" He raises his voice back at me, as he steps closer, inches from my face. Our breathing was rapidly increasing with every word he spoke... "So I do know how you feel!" My blue eyes wondered his, as something was taking over me, a feeling, an action.
