Fighting spaces -Sequel-

Chapter 10

“I need you… well, Derek needs you. You and I both know that Staying at the McCall’s house is temporary and where do you plan on going after that time is up, back to my old house?  Yeah I know about that little stay there. But you’re going to need a place to stay and live at. You need Derek and you cant deny that Marcey!” Cora said desperation in her eyes, “He’s been a mess without you and it’s all I can do to keep him from running to Jennifer Blake! Boyd attacked her in the boiler room of the school and ever sense then Derek has been ‘checking up’ on her. I know they haven’t done anything because he always visits her during school hours… But Marcey I can’t keep trying to keep her and him apart for you.” I raised an eyebrow at her,

“Keep them apart for me?” She nodded her head,

“From what I hear Derek had never been happier in his life when he was with you! Don’t you think that I would want that for my brother again? I mean yeah we were apart for a while but he’s still my big brother and I haven’t seen him happy sense I had gotten back,” I saw her close to tears and I let out an irritated sigh,

“You said so yourself that he’s been sneaking around with Jenifer Blake, why should I step right back into that? Just so I can hurt myself all over again?” Cora shook her head and gave me a pleading look,

“Because you guys are mates Marcey, isn’t that enough of a reason?” a tear ran down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away, “When I was little and before my family burnt alive my parents were closer than anyone I had ever met, they loved each other and always told us that when you find your mate you’d do anything for them and couldn’t bear to see them upset! Marcey don’t you see? Derek isn’t avoiding you because he hates you; he’s staying away from you because every time you see him you just look hurt and he can’t stand it because he doesn’t know what to do! He doesn’t know how to fix what he fucked up on and its killing him, so he’s filling the hole with some high school teacher who probably spends her nights watching sad movies and  stuffing her face in ben a jerries’ ice-cream!” I looked at the young beta in surprise and let my mouth fall open slightly, “And don’t even get me started on Jessica! Ever sense you left she has been having panic attacks every damn night and I have had to step into the mom role for her because her mom and dad have a stick shoved so far up their asses they can’t come to an agreement! Isaac is tearing himself apart because he can’t find a way to help her and that’s the only reason he’s mad at you! Because how you’re hurting her.”

“Cora…” I sighed; she looked at me with a fire in her eyes that would be enough to kill. “What do I say to him? Everyone tells me that I need to talk to Derek but I CAN’T because I don’t know what to say to him! I freak out on the inside and I put my walls up! I can’t even find a way to tell my mate why I’d be living on the streets if it wasn’t for Scott!  And I know I need to apologize for running away from him and acting like a baby and not trying to talk my problems out… but he also needs to apologize for not owning up to me to you, I mean… He doesn’t know how much that hurt! And I know I have probably caused him more pain than he ever has inflicted on me but… what the fuck am I to do?” I find myself spilling everything out to Cora in the middle of the mall, and she looks kind of surprised by it.

“I can’t tell you what to say Marcey; no one can, that’s something that you have to find the words for. But if you ever want everything to be set right you’re going to have to talk to him. You need to understand he’s not always a hard ass; you should know, he’s your mate. So I can’t help you with that.”  With that Cora turned and walked away and I ran a hand through my hair out of stress. I turned on my heel and walked over to the sports store to where Scott had run off to, pushing back any traces of tears.

“So I’ll be back later tonight okay? I just have a few things I have to take care of.” I told Scott as I shoved my phone in my back pocket along with my wallet; Scott smiled at me and nodded his head

“Take as long as you need, I’ll be here.” I laughed at him and ruffled his hair as I walked by and out the front door. I sighed as I stepped into the night air before counting to three

1…

 

2…

 

3…

And then took off running at full speed into the night.

I smelled the smell of old mold and crinkled my nose in disgust before marching on and banging my knuckles against an old door, I sighed and felt my heart hammering in my chest.

The door swung open and I was met by a shocked face, I smiled slightly up at them and fumbled with my fingers,

“We need to talk…” I whispered, and felt a little better as Derek nodded and side stepped letting me in the loft.

AAAH! Your wishes came true my loves!!
