The Forbidden Love

Chapter 22

~Kayla's POV~

I heard a knock on my door. I kept laying in bed, cuddling my pillow. "Come in" I said, voice weak. I've barely eaten or talked to anyone sense my mom died. I miss her so much.

Derek walked in. "Hey baby.. how are you feeling?" He sat next to me. He's the only one that's kept me going. He's the best mate ever. I smiled weakly and cuddled close to him. "I'm ok.. or.. trying to be.. it's been 6 months.. and.. it feels like it's been forever but like it just happened yesterday at the same time.."

He kissed my head. He didn't say much for a few minutes. "I made you breakfast princess."
"I'm not hungry..."
"You haven't eaten in a week.. you need to eat. The baby needs food and so don't you. It's not healthy."

I sighed. "Fine.. but only for the baby." I found out I was pregnant a couple days ago. I haven't told my dad yet. I'm not sure how he'll take it.. I mean. I am only 16.. "I'll go grab it."
"No it's alright.. I have to leave my bed.."

He nodded. "Yes. Yes you do. Now come on." He smiled and helped me up. We went downstairs and I sat at the table and ate. Emily talked to me this morning before she left. She needs a new start. She blames herself. She shouldn't. She'd be dead too if she went with our mom that day..

Derek handed me a plate and I started eating. My dad came in the kitchen. "Wow you got her eating." He nodded at Derek with respect. He opened the fridge.  "She has too eat. It's not healthy if she doesn't. Besides. She's eating for two." Derek smiled brightly.

My dad shut the fridge and stared at the door. "What. Did you. Just say." His voice got deeper then normal. It had anger in it. I swallowed my food and smacked Derek. "She's.. eating for two.." he gulped and backed up a bit. My dad snarled and pinned Derek to the wall. "SHES FUCKING 16! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING!"
"DAD LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I pushed him off of Derek and stood in-between them.

His eyes turned red. Yep.. his anger took control.. I sighed. "Dad listen.."
"No you fucking listen! Are you insane!? If your mother was here you wouldn't be able to see him for a while! Are you dumb!!" My ears lowered. Derek snarled. "Don't fucking speak to her that way."

My dad started moving towards him but I pushed him away. "Don't touch my mate. Just because yours died and you couldn't save her doesn't mean you can treat everyone like shït!" He slapped me. I held my face and tears fell from my eyes. Derek snarled loudly and punched him in the face hard, making him bleed. I shifted into a wolf and ran off into the woods.

"Babe!" Derek called after me. I got to moms grave and sat there. "I can't do this anymore mama.. I miss you." I cried. "I'm leaving home.. I can't deal with dads way of coping anymore.. he thinks he can bring you back somehow.. but we all know it can't happen.. it's time for me to move out.. and start over.. like Emily did.." I laid on her grave, wishing she was there to give me her mom hug and tell me that everything was ok. That she'd always be there for me and never leave. But she's gone.. and she can't come back..
