I do… but I don’t want to bother anyone. Besides, it’s nothing new, the same as you I guess… I found my mate, but thanks to certain issues, we can’t be together.
There I said it.
Oh, damn girl, I’m sorry,Taylor said apologetically. I shrugged.
It happened three years ago; I’m just thinking of rejecting them now.
Rejection will hurt,Taylor said, sounding pained.
But is staying in this deadlock any better?
Have you tried to work it out with them? Like, have you asked why he or she can’t accept it?Taylor asked gently.
I looked down at the bottle I held.Have I tried?
No, not even once... all I did was just run away and act like the victim. If those two idiots couldn’t talk, then wasn’t it my job to make them sit down?
I’ll take that as a no…Taylor said wryly.
Yeah…
I needed to sit down with them… I really had to do this, but how would I get them to? I guess that was a problem for another day.
“Well thanks, Taylor. Honestly, just that one question has got me thinking,” I said, giving him a small smile.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.”
“I know, but you’re right. Well, I’m heading home. I’m moving to the packhouse tomorrow, so I want to finish my packing.”
“Damn, you’re moving? I never knew…”
“Yeah, I think I need my own place,”
“Well, I’ll help you with moving your stuff.”
“I will actually take you up on that offer,” I replied brightly. “Thanks!”
“I think I’ll head home too,” Taylor said. We looked around, everyone seemed to be having fun but since the murder, our hearts weren’t into it.
“When do you think they’ll announce it?” I asked quietly as we walked out into the woods.
“My guess is as good as yours,” he sighed deeply.
“Who can it be? Like, why would someone do something so twisted?” I mused.
“I know, I don’t get it. It’s weird.”
We fell silent, trudging through the pack grounds until we reached our homes. Or in my case, Dad’s house…
“What time tomorrow?” Taylor asked.
“After training?”
“Perfect, see you then.”
He gave me a salute before going over to his own house and I slowly went to the front door. Sadly, I didn’t have a key, but it wasn’t that late; it wasn’t even twelve yet. I did the door; I could see the living room light on, so hopefully, they’ll be in.
Mom, can you open the door?
