"Mom you have to eat something."

A couple of days has passed since the fight with Catalya. I haven't seen her at school since . I'm a huge wreck, I'm suffering and I can feel this huge ache in my chest. I feel this need, this need to be comforted by her. I want to feel her in my arms and allow her to weld my heart into the shape it was meant to be before pain came along and destroyed it. That's what happened that night pain took control and let me push her away.

I've realised that somehow. Well sorta. Rogue practically beat the sense into me. I've realised I've been a jerk, to both of them really. Now my sister is mourning the loss of our brother and the man she loves. Though she won't admit it out loud but I've heard her cry every night since that night.

Not only that my mom is not talking or eating. I decided to stay home from school just to make sure she's okay. Even though I know she's not. My father has been trying to track down Scott. My mom's stressing about that to.

My phone rang interrupting me. I look down to check who it is from. It was a private so I decided it could wait.

It kept on ringing and ringing.
"What?!", It was irritating me. "Don't yell at me", the voice screeched back." Who the hell is this?".

"I'm Catalyas friend asshole". "Okay asshole is she okay?", I sacasticaly asked.
I heard cursing on the other end and then hung up.

My phone rang but I just switched it off and continued trying to get my mom to eat.

I skipped dinner and tried to sleep the days away. We haven't even gotten around to planning my brothers funeral. After I helped mom to bed I tried getting some sleep myself but kept on tossing and turning. It continued until 02:00 AM the morning when I heard knocking coming from my window.

I peaked through the curtains and saw the guys. I quickly put on a sweatpants and grabbed a jacket to meet them outside.

"What are you guys doing here this late?", I ask once I get outside. "Catalyas missing". What! "That doesn't have anything to do with me",I lied. It had everything to do with me. The idea of there being a chance that she is hurt is enough to drive me insane." "This is serious Josh. The war is about to begin. Rageur seems sure this time",Mason tells me. "That also has nothing to do with me."
"It does, not only because you're part of this pack but you're the alphas son",Zayn said. He's always trying to be a smartass. "Look Josh, Catalya was kidnapped and the girls came to us for help. We came here thinking that since you care about her so much you'll be glad to lend your nose but if you don't think that none of it matters to you ,we can still help find her",Keith said." Since when do you guys still stick your neck out for vampires?"

"This war is pointless and somehow the girls changed our minds. If we all put our differences aside we can all get a long just fine",Keith answered me. "Well then I guess I'll see you guys around", I told them then walked inside.

I agree war is pointless. Heck I hate the sound of war. Catalya.
Shit I keep on drifting to her between thoughts. I can't stand the thought of her being in danger. Then again I should listen to Rogue and stay away from her.

"If you talk to her,apologise for what you've said maybe she'll forgive you but you can't avoid the enivitable. That's what it is. You're just going to hurt her again",she had said when I sat with her making sure she was alright. She wasn't and that's why I'm listening to her. Mainly because I really don't want to hurt Catalya and I don't want to make my sister suffer more than she is already. Leon meant the world to her. She never talked about that much but she always thought of him I could tell. Now she feel it's her duty to protect Catalya from her own brother out of all people, but I understand in someway. It doesn't mean that because I understand I agree on the idea.

Catalya

I woke up in a dark cellar. There I lay on the cold floor. My hands were tied up with rope that was soaked in vervain. I felt weak I wondered if it was because of the curse, but it seems that was the least of my worries. The cellar door creaked open and I heard the sound of footsteps getting louder. My vision was blurry so I had to rely on my hearing. "Awake,huh?", the person whose footsteps it belonged to I suppose. Even if I wanted to I couldn't speak I was just to weak.

"Your blood is going to make me industructable",I hear him say before leaving again.
