My Worthless Mate

Chapter 7: A new friend

Chapter 7

 “Aileen, can I talk to you?” Evan finally said something to me.

 For the past week Evan has been acting weird. He’s also been ignoring me. I think that it’s time for that whole mate talk. Finally, Evan deserves his mate. Yeah I love him but, we all knew that this day would come. When you love something hard, let them go or so the saying goes.

 I mentally prepared myself while we walked to his room. I sat down on his bed and patted my side. Evan sat down and took a big breathe.

 “IFOUNDMYMATEMAYWEPLEASEBEFRIENDS?” Evan let go really fast.

 I rolled my eyes and patted his head. I’m a little sad but, I love him like no other.

 “Evan, you don’t have to say it to me. I kinda figured it out already. It’s okay, we can be friends. I love you but you deserve a mate. I don’t want her to go through what I went through. Thanks for not being a jerk, and thank you for loving me. Now..tell me who’s your mate?!” I gave him a noogy.

 “Hey quit it! I love my hair!” he whined.

 “So who is it baby?” I stuck my tongue out at him.

 “It’s…ugh…Natalie Johns.” Evan said quietly.

 “Natalie…where have I heard that before..” I rubbed my temples.

 “She use to be one of your best friends, but you distanced yourself in school. She isn’t mad at you because she would be the same if she was in the same position. She’s also sorry for not being there when you need it.” Evan explained.

 “Natalie! My Natalie! Its okay, I forgive her. I really did have to handle things by myself and I didn’t want to pull her into my troubles.”

 “Thanks for understanding” Evan smiled weakly. I nodded and he walked out.

 I felt tears go roll down my cheeks and landed on the floor. I wish my mate would do that for me. I wish he didn’t reject me. We would’ve had a beautiful life together. With hugs and kisses with so much passion in them. But sometimes I’m glad that he kind of rejected me, if he didn’t I wouldn’t have met my family. It just hurts, looking at mated couples in the pack makes me burn with jealousy.

 The door squeaked open and ironically Darius came in. I felt the bed dip down and he put his hand on my arm.

 “Aileen..I heard what happened. As much as I don’t like you two going out , I can’t stand you being hurt.” Darius rubbed my arm gently.

 “No i-it’s not about t-that. It’s j-just I wish you didn’t reject me.” I sobbed. I don’t know why I’m pouring all my feelings out now but, I just need someone to soothe me.

 “Aileen..I don’t want to say anything to upset you even more but I regret rejecting you. If I had a chance to do it all over again I would accept you. I’m sorry and I know you won’t accept this apology but I will continue to say it until I can have you in my arms. Just..all I’m asking for is to start out as friends..” Darius cried a bit. I felt water dripping on my arm and found Darius crying.

 I sat up and hugged him. Never in my life have I seen Darius cried. He truly meant that apology and I would accept being just friends. I’m glad that we worked this out.

 He wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me on his lap. He pulled me closer and we sat there in silence. I felt my shirt get wet and eventually he stopped.

 “Aileen, I mean what I said. I really, truly am sorry.” Darius sniffled.

 “I know, I think it would be nice if we started over and become friends. I forgive you and I believe that you are sorry.” I smiled.

 “Thank you for giving me this chance.” Darius kissed my forehead and we continued to stare at each other. His eyes tell me everything. From love, lust, and happiness.

 “Hey..ugh…you want to go to the movies?” I tried breaking the silence.

 “Sure, what do you want to watch?” he asked surprisingly.

 “I’ve been dying to see the Hunger Games. I hope the movie is good like the books because Twilight turned out to be a major disaster.” I jumped up and down the bed.

 “I’ve been waiting to see that too! Team Peeta or Team Gale?” Darius narrowed his eyes.

 “Team Peeta, duh!!”

 “Oh hell nah! TEAM GALE!” Darius took a pillow and threw it at me.

 “NO! TEAM PEETA!!!” I tackled him onto the bed and for the next few minutes I truly felt happy.
