OCEAN. The first thing I noticed when she opened the door was her eyes, which had gone soft. She wore a singlet, a shirt, and a pair of white socks. I held the door. Not saying a word to me, I didn’t know how I wanted to react, so I stood there like a pole. “I don’t think things could ever work out between us. You made me doubt everything that you said. You made me question every word.” “I’m sorry.” I lowered my head. “Just don’t push me away, Eris.” i didn’t expect her to put her arms around me. Her head rested on my chest and the tightening of my chest eased, and my wolf calmed. “I won’t ever hurt you, I won’t lay a finger on you either, I won’t ever do that to you,” I whispered while she held me. I was tempted to hold her closely to my chest. I wanted to have my arms around her. “I’m sorry about earlier.” She looked up at me. “I don’t want to spend the night alone.” “You won’t spend the night alone,” I remarked. “I called my mom, she didn’t pick up the phone, and I didn
OCEAN. “Eris, please.”“No, Ocean!” She yelled. I could see the tears in her eyes. “Don’t tell me I was living in an illusion all this while!” “I…” She stared at my hand. There was blood stained on it and I tried to hide it behind me, but she already saw it. “I thought..” She paused, and the tears rolled down her cheek. She shook her head several times, and my chest felt heavy. “I can’t stand you right now, Ocean.” I felt the tightening in my chest, and I was finding it difficult to breathe. I held my hand on the wall, but she was gone. I went over to the restroom, I washed my hands while I stared at the mirror in front of me. I splash water over my face. I sighed and leaned against the wall. I lifted my hand and stared at it. I hated myself at that moment. I had never felt this way before. I had never regretted hitting someone, but I did. I wished I could’ve walked away from him, I wished I didn’t have to hit him. I waited for Eris at the car park after school hours, but sh
OCEAN. I woke up before Eris did. We slept on the couch. I had forgotten to turn off the TV. I stretched and grabbed my phone from the table. It was already past six in the morning. I had tons of messages from Flynn and Ronny. We were supposed to have a party last night, but I didn’t want to be there. I told them I wasn’t going home and wanted to go home. They probably thought it was a joke until I had left them and didn’t show up at the party. This was better than being with anyone. I didn’t want to be touched by anyone else if it wasn’t Eris. I just want her. I had to sneak off of the couch without waking her. I covered her with the blanket, and took the stairs to my room. I came out after a few minutes. I wanted to make breakfast, but Eris needed to be at school. She did need her attendance, which is quite compulsory because of the upcoming competition.I decided on an easy breakfast. Vale had a recipe pasted on the wall for some of the meals she cooked. I searched through i
ERIS.When I got home, Ocean was waiting in my bedroom. I hadn’t expected to see him there. I had brought his jacket home with me. I didn’t put it on while I was having my last class of the day. I kept them in my locker, and when Davis notified me that he was in school waiting for me, I had to take the jacket, and leave school. I didn’t see Kasper, there was no sight of him, anywhere. I decided to let him be, and I would’ve to talk to Mom about it at dinner. I would probably tell them both that we ain’t together anymore. He stretched out his arms to me, and I fell on them, my head resting against his chest. He kissed the top of my head and rubbed his hand around my back. “I’m exhausted,” I grumbled. “I know.” I lifted my head and stared at him. “I didn’t see Mom when I got back.” “They both left for vacation. Three days.” “She didn’t tell me that.” I frowned. I thought we promised to tell each other everything. Well, I couldn’t get too angry with that. I wasn’t entirely being
ERIS.I stared at Ocean, and my gaze went to Kasper. He stood there, his gaze fixed on me. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. “Is that so, Eris?” He asked again. I touched Ocean’s arm. “I need to go.” He nodded and retraced his steps back from me. I went to Kasper, grabbed his arm, and started to pull him away from the rooftop. I wanted to have some space where we could talk, and nobody would probably hear a word we say. “What was that I heard?” He asked where we could go to a place where we could talk. His back was against the wall, and he was waiting for me to say a word. “Ain’t you going to say a word?” He exhaled. “I went to the classroom, and I couldn’t find you, and Rosie told me you went out with this Emma girl. Then, I met Emma, and she told me she left you on the rooftop, and I decided to come see you, and then guess what I heard, it was because you wanted to use me…” He sighed and swallowed. “You wanted to use me for what?” “I thought…” He fell silent again and ave
ERIS.. “This is the coolest thing Ocean has ever done!” Rosie screeched when she entered the classroom. I closed my notebook and raised my brow at her. She saw me and hastened her pace. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one interested in knowing what Ocean did. “Is Ocean in school?” “Yes,” Rosie said with a smile. The girl who asked hurried out of the classroom, and I just blinked my eyes at them.She scurried over to my desk. I took out my water bottle and drank from it. “Ocean just told everyone that he had a mate.” I coughed it out, spitting some on Rosie’s face. She grimaced. “Sorry,” I muttered. “Here.” I offered her a wipe. She took them and wiped her face with them. “Well, I was saying, Ocean told everyone that he had a mate, and that the mate wasn’t Flora. He told her loud and clear, gracious goodness, you need to see the look on her face. She was too stunned to speak and embarrassed. That was one of the coolest things he did. Do you know the other coolest thing he did?”
