One mate and a Rejection

Chapter 29

PART 1 Chapter 29 — 03

I buried my face in the pillows and heard someone approaching about half an hour later.

I felt hands pulling my face up from the pillows, Stop, I groaned and pried their hands off of my face.

They flipped me over and I saw that it was Jason.

“I thought you left.

Scratch that,I hoped you left.” He rolled his eyes,” Emerald what's going on.” “Nothing.” “Don't think I

haven't been noticing how you've been lately.

Crying so much,fighting with everybody and now you end up in the hospital! I want the truth.” I sat up

further and stared at him,Fine,the truth is...I've joined an underground women's fight club.” He sighed,”

Dammit Emerald,I'm serious! “You have no right Jason,no right to say all those horrible things to me

and then barge in here and question me about my problems! I can deal with it,t's my business,not

yours!” "I'm sorry Emerald, really am.

But what would have you said if you walked in and saw your mate being straddled by your sister who's

holding a glass vase ready to smash it into her face?” I signed and imagined the picture.

I quess he was right.

“But you left,you left when you knew dad and mom were fighting.

He moved out,did you know that?” “I'm so sorry for letting you deal with it alone,I really am.” "That's not

what gets me so mad.

It's the fact that you're so blinded by your love for Amanda that you won't even pause for a second to

question who she was before she met you.” “I know Emerald,"

she told me.

She said she wasn't liked very much as a kid so she took it out on people most of the time.” "That's an

understatement.

She took it out on me! I should know! I used to hide every day in the washroom stalls and cross my

fingers that she wouldn't check under the doors for my feet.

I'd even get up on the toilet and bend down so my head wouldn't show.” He stood up,clenching his jaw

doubtfully” Get some rest” and he exited the room.

Lisa and John visited three hours later.

They sat bouncing everywhere,and talking so much that my ears began to hurt.

"So,what's going on between you and Blade,” Lisa questioned.

“Nothing,” I answered,sipping on my hot chocolate as an attempt to block out pictures of us almost

kissing.

"Oh please,we're not stupid! He didn't even let the paramedics carry you into the stretcherhe did it

himself and growled at them! He didnt even wait for your parents! He just sat on the ambulance with

you,and left.” “Whoa whoa whoa,what? Blade took me to the hospital?"

“Wellthe ambulance but yeah,he's the only one who rode with you.” “Where were you guys!"

I snapped,my legs feeling weak and wobbly.

"He wouldn't give us a chance to do anything! He went crazy.” “So,what is going on with you two?”

"Honestly,I have no idea.” Lisa gushed.” how romantic is it though? Being saved by the enemy!"

John laughed and kissed her cheek; You're in love with the idea” “It wasn't romantic at all? I began to

laugh when I realized how true that was,” he beat the quy until he was knocked out.” “Aww! He's so

protective!” "I'm protective, said John,staring at her.

She rolled her eyes, But you're not an enemy.” He scoffed,” You say it like it's a bad thing” "Do you

think that maybe he likes you,"

said Lisa.

"No way,dont say that Lisa, I snapped.

She giggled; It's romantic.” "No it's not.

Besides,he's an enemy.

I can't even begin to imagine what would happen...” I trailed off.

Saturday rolled around a couple of days later and I managed to avoid Blade in school at all times.

In science,the teacher made us do text book work instead of labs as punishment and I was fine with it

because it meant I wouldn't have to talk with Blade.

I still felt tired and dizzy all the timelike I could faint any moment,and I knew that tonight I had to find my

mate.

But it was only one pm and I had to do something. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I drove to the mall and decided to look for a job.

I need something to keep me busy now that Jason moved out and Jared and I are over.

I searched a lot of places in the mall.

A pet shop,some fast food testaurants,even a shoe shop.

At the end,only a bra shop hired me.

“When do you want me to start?” I asked the manager after I filled out my form.

She glanced at the cashier,’ Would now be goad? One of our employees just had an emergency and

left.” I nodded,” Yeah,sounds good.”
