Love Bites (Completed)

Chapter 24

“It's very easy to get a boy to leave the room.

It's much harder to get him to leave your thoughts.”

-Elizabeth Eulberg, Prom and Prejudice

Torrin’s P.O.V

It felt as if my insides were turned inside out and were stretching miles away. The beating of my erratic heart began to thump in my ears and vibrate over my stiff, unmoving body. My eyes wouldn’t blink and my mouth couldn’t move, my lower stomach was doing flips instead of little jerks like usual. My mind was a jumbled mess that couldn’t think of anything but the word ‘Mate’.

There was something different about me when I thought of the word, but nothing had changed about me…physically at least. What in the h*ll was wrong with me?

“Why…” I said just above a whisper.

His dark brown eyes were full on concern and a smidge of hope.

“Why, what baby girl?”

I looked up from my hands and immediately knew it’s was a mistake. His face was inches from mine. Half of me wanted to rip his clothes off and kiss him like there was no tomorrow, while another part of me wanted to kick him in the balls and cry myself to sleep.

“Why are you lying to me…?” I whispered fingering the hem of the sheets beneath us.

He laid both of his hands on the sides of my arms causing a sheer of pleasure to roll through me….f*ck.

“Torrin, baby cakes, I swear to you that I am not lying…I would never lie to you.”

‘Just another guy that’s lying to you Torrin, I knew you should’ve watched out…never should have gotten interested in guys again if you ask me.’ My mind said scolding me for being so stupid. ‘I mean haven’t you learned your lesson? Your biological father didn’t want you, your adopted father hated you, Rob just used you and Crispin was just playing with you. You’re just not worth it…’

My emotions were haywire and me being on my period didn’t help much either. Taking advantage of my sensitivity and emotional state my mouth made words flow out of my mouth without me even thinking.

“Just go…” I said as a lone tear fell down my cheek and underneath my jaw.

“But Tor-” Crispin said while reaching out for me.

“Go” I said a little louder.

“No I can explain, Torrin please. You’re crying I can’t just lea-”

“Get the f*ck out!” I screamed losing my temper.

His eyes glossed over and he slowly walked to the door.  I tried my best to keep my tears in until he finally closed the door making the waterworks flow. My body was shaking and I could hear bang outside in the hallway. I quieted myself down until I heard the heavy footfalls fade away and I let them begin to fall again.

Why?

Why would he lie to me? I thought he had true feelings for me! I thought what we had was real…no fake stories to tell. And now he just outright and tells me I’m a soul mate to a f*cking werewolf?! Does he this this is all some big joke?! And just to think I thought my life was screwed up enough…

I hate being a girl.

***one week later***

I avoided him.

I avoided everyone.

I had my regular routine going on for a whole week now. Every morning I would wake up with red, puffy eyes and pale white skin. I would take a long hot shower and leave my hair down to cover my hideous face. I would put on jeans, boots and long sleeves everyday not giving a f*ck if they matched or not. I would walk to school by myself even when my friends would drive by and tell me to get in the car. I would just look straight ahead and ignore them as if they weren’t even there.
