Chapter 11
Tears rolled down my face freely as I backed out of their room. Javier looked at me and it looked like he had tears of his own. As I was out of his room I ran down the stairs and was about to run out of the house but Crystal stopped me. “Ellie what’s wrong? Where did Javier take you?” she said. I dragged her outside and explained everything, by the end of the story she was shaking violently. “How could he!? He just stood there while she slapped you and spoke like that to you!?” she yelled.
“Simple.” She looked at me like I was crazy. “She loves him and he loves her. They both admitted it to me.” I said hiding my head in my hands.
“Well they’re both idiots!” Crystal said placing her hand on my shoulder.
We sat in a comfortable silence with Crystal just rubbing my back as I cried. Luke walked past with Elena. Luke was about to come comfort me but remembered our fight and remained where he was. Elena spoke up. “Haven’t you ran out of tears yet? You’re so pathetic Ellie like grow up and stop crying! You’re annoying everyone!” she said with both her hands in the air. Luke kept quiet behind her. “Don’t you think so Luke?” she said turning to
him
I looked up at him and waited patiently for his response. He didn’t answer. “Luke don’t you think she should grow up and stop crying?” Elena asked again impatiently.
Luke just nodded. I can’t believe him! Elena just smiled victoriously and walked off holding Luke’s hand. What an ass!
I turned towards Crystal with teary eyes. “Crystal I can’t stay here anymore, I can’t stay here and watch my mate kiss and love someone else and I can’t just act like what my best friend is doing doesn’t hurt me when really it’s killing me.”
“Then where would you go?” She asked shocked.
“I don’t know, but anywhere is better than here Crystal. It’s not healthy for me to stay here when all I do is cry and get bullied. I have no one.”
“What about your family? What about me? you still have us.” She tried to reason with me.
“Crystal please I can’t. I can’t act like nothing happened because it did. I need to get out of here and start new.‘
Crystal kept quiet for a while as she was deep thought. After a while she sighed and hugged me tightly. “Even though I’ve only met you this morning you were the closest thing I’ve ever had to a friend and because of that I wish you good luck on finding a better place and being happy. You really and truly deserve it.” She said as she hugged me tighter.
“Crystal?” I said. She pulled out of the hug and looked at me. “There is one thing I need you to do before I go.”
“I’ll do anything.” She said.
“Can you just pass these notes on to my family, Luke and Javier?”
“Sure thing, do you have it here with you?” she asked.
“um no, I actually haven’t written one yet. I’m going to write it now and then leave. Please give it to them tomorrow morning.” I pleaded and she just
nodded.
I began to write the letters. I wrote my families letter first, then Luke’s, cause even though he betrayed me he still deserves to know I’m leaving, and last but not least I wrote Javier’s note. I gave them to Crystal and hugged her one last time before I turned around and shifted into my wolf and ran.
I kept running and not once did I stop. As I crossed the border territory I felt my connection with the pack weaken and become nothing. Even my connection to Javier weakened and I could no longer feel him. I found a little pond and decided to stop for a drink since I’ve been running for ages. As I leant forward to drink I heard a twig snap. I immediately spun around to come face to face with three big wolves. Crap!
