Were-Magic (Were-series book 1)

Chapter 24

I felt tears pricked my eyes, as I realized that, right now standing in this room. I was alone. No one was going to defend me and, today of all days, I didn't have the emotional energy to defend myself. I backed up towards the door before slowly opening and it walking out. I looked back once, hoping for someone to come running out and saying that it was all a joke.

No one did.

I hoped and prayed that, this was all a joke and as I made my way down the hall, deciding to skip lunch, I bumped into a teacher exiting her class room. She was apologizing until she looked up and saw who she ran into.

"Watch where you're going, Ms. Monroe!" She said, before storming off.

I couldn't fight my tears at that point.

For some reason, everyone hated me. And for a moment, I was afraid that maybe Ryan was hurt. That everyone hated me because they something I didn't and Ryan was hurt and they all blamed me. But after a moment's hesitation I knew that wasn't true. I knew if Ryan was hurt. I would know if he ever got hurt.

Looking over my shoulder seeing no one was around, I ran for the door, and didn't look back.

***

When  I got home all I wanted was to talk to Ryan, I didn't check if mom was home or anyone else for that matter. I ran to the phone that was in the lounge and began dialing only to have the phone ripped out of my hands.

"What are you doing here, Melissa? Why aren't you in school?" My mom asked with a tone I never heard her use before. I stood there, just staring at her shocked.

"Well? Why aren't you in school?" She asked again, seeming even more angry. She stood beside me, with the phone in her hand, and her hands on her hips, waiting for me to answer her.

My tears had dried a long time ago, but now, I could feel them coming even faster then they did at school.

" I'm not feeling well." I said, the only thing coming to mind. She sighed, loudly and slammed the phone back on the receiver before turning away and walking back into the kitchen.

"Whatever, just eat some soup and get out of my sight!" She said, before slamming the kitchen door.

"Mom?" I whispered, though she didn't hear. I felt numb, it was not a joke. My mother would never intentionally hurt me. And she did.

I stood there, staring at nothing, thinking about Ryan and where he was, and wondering if he also hate me. With that thought, I sunk down to the ground, in tears. I couldn't fight it anymore. I was alone.

I heard steps coming from behind me- the stairs- and turned to see Derek coming down the stairs, and at the moment, I couldn't stand to see another person. All I wanted was Ryan, or a warm hug from somone who cared.

I was shcoked when I heard him run down the stairs and stop and crouch infront of me.

"Mel, what's wrong?" He asked, pulling me in for a hug. I tensed at first, remembering Ryan warning me about him, but at the moment  I didn't care. He was there for me, he was the only one there for me.

"Everyone." I said, before crying harder. He sighed and tucked my head into his neck. I didn't resist, infact I reminised in the contact.

"Sweetie." He said, before picking me up bridal style and bringing me over to the couch.

"Everyone... hates me.... Carter and my mom... and Ryan's gone..." I knew I was making much sense, but that was everything I could tell him without feeling completely numb inside.

"I don't hate you." He said, kissing the top of my head and rubbing circles into my back.

"Thank you." I said, sniffling back my tears, feeling drained and emotionally tired.

"I will always be here for you, Melissa." He said, kissing the top of my head and this time, I noticed how warm his lips were.

I felt myself falling asleep in his arms, feeling for the moment... better, knowing that atleast one person didn't hate me today.

And before I fell asleep, I thought one thing: " Derek is here... where's Ryan again?"

Derek's POV

The spell had worked faster then I expected.

Melissa came home not one hour after I casted the spell, and she was in my arms not minutes after she walked in the house.

And now, she's asleep in my arms, and I can't help but shiver in proudness. She will be mine.
