CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
LOGAN'S POV
Britney asked what my story is, so I am going to tell her starting from the beginning.
" It started in my junior year. In my sophmore year my parents both died in a car accident. I got home with my friends. We were all cheerleaders. When I walked in the door, we watched some movies. There was a knock on the door and the police officer told me that my parents had died. In front of all of my friends. They all gave me so much pity. I didn't want their pity. I just wanted my parents back."
I start sobbing so much that I couldn't continue for about five minutes. Britney says
" Take your time and finish your story when you are ready".
Then she came and hugged me. I couldn't help but think that this is what a real friend should have done for me. I continue.
"I got really depressed. I was always sad and angry. I started to shut out all of my friends. Over the summer while everyone else was partying, I was setting up my parents funeral. I came back next year, junior year, happier and not as sad. I expected my friends to still be there for me. On the first day of junior year, I sat with my group. They all gave me looks of shock at first. Then it turned into confusion and disgust. I lost all of my friends that year."
I got up and pulled a picture of my group of friends oout of my night stand. I handed the picture to Britney and continued my story.
" They started to yell at me and they told me to fuck off because I was just the depressed emo girl. Everyday since that day, the people who I used to call my friends picked on me. They made me do their chores. I had to clean up and make meals for them or they would beat me. Soon, everyone used me as their personal slave. Allyson was the worst. She used to be my bestest d=friend in the world. We used to do everything together. That year she changed to. She wasn't the good girl anymore. She turned into a complete slut."
I took the picture from Britney and pointed at Allyson. That was when she wasn't slutty. She was beautiful until she started to do all of the guys in the school over the summer. Britney says
" Wow! She looks completely different!"
I say "Yeah. She was a great friend. Before you came, she treated me like her personal bitch. I had to carry her bags and books, clean up after her, prepare anything she wanted from parties to rooms for her and the guys she slept with. I have no idead what guys saw in her. That was when I started to cut was when my parents died. It became a habit after my friends disowned me and I became a slave".
I started to silently cry because I knew my mate was the next thing in my story. I say
"I thought it would all change on my birthday. The day I would find my mate. I went into the woods to shift for the first time. I went for a run and my wolf and I caught the most delicious scent efver. We came to a wolf that was so red. It looked like fire. He shifted back to human form and it was Blaze. The Beta and your brother. I knew he would reject me once he found out. I went and got a potion from a witch named Stacy. The potion made me have no scent, so Blaze wouldn't know. I didn't want to be rejected. When we went to save Whitney, I was always around him. I fell in love with your brother, but if he knows he will reject me."
That was the end of my story. I can't stop sobbing. Britney says
" You really need to tell Blaze that you are his mate when the potion wearws off. Ever since he was a little boy, Blaze has only wanted one thing. A mate who loves him. He won't care that you hid from him. He will love you for you. Tell him your story and he will understand. If you decide to cut again, you better think of that song. What would Blaze think if he found out that his mate killed herself? He would hate himself for not being able to stop you. He would die of guilt for what you did to yourself. Are you gonna tell him that you are his mate?".
I nodded my head 'Yes' and say
" The potion will wear off at midnight. It does every night. I will tell him tomorrow. I promise. Thank you Britney. You are the bestest frined I have ever had. You definetly top Allyson."
Britney starts laughing and says " Well I hope I do. Now lets get you all cleaned up, then we are having a sleep over and telling Blaze tomorrow together."
Britney helped me clean up my.......mess. Then, we layed in my bed and watched movies until midnight. We watched like four movies. 22 jumpstreet. The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones. Divergent. Step Up 2: The Streets. My favorite movies of all time. I fell asleep half way through Step Up.
THE NEXT DAY
Britney woke me up this morning by blaring 'Monster' by Skillet on my stereo system. She nearly gave me a heart attack.
Now we are in the kitchen at her parents house making breakfast for them all. Whitney and Blaine were the first to come down the stairs. You could tell that they had mated last night because you could see Whitney's mark and their scents were mixed. I looked at Britney and she quickly looked away from the couple. I could see the sadness and envy in her eyes. She let one single tear slip out of her eye.
Damn!!! This girl is strong mentally and physically. I walk over to her and wip away her tear, so no one will notice and give her a quick squeeze as if to say ' Everything will be alright'. She nods her head in thanks and understanding. Her parents come down and give Britney a hug before they rush to Blaine and Whitney.
Britney's parents looked so excited and happy. I can see that it only made her sadder. She pulls me into the living room and says
"I'm sorry, but you are gonna have to do this yourself. I can't be in here. It makes me sad because Blaine is my ex and they have something I don't. You will get something I don't have either. I can't stand here and pretend that everyone having a mate that loves them doesn't bother me. I'm sorry."
Then, she quickly went out of the screen door. I watched her run off into the woods. I felt really sad for her. Atleast I still get a chance with my mate. Hers didn't even give her that. She got rejected before she could be really loved.
I went back into the kitchen and made the rest of the food. I take the food out into the dining room and let everyone eat. Britney's mom says
" Where is Britney".
I flinch and say " She went into the woods for a run."
Her mom nods in understanding after I quickly nodded towards Blaine and Whitney. She was the only one who saw it. Her mom looked sad and mind linked her husband as to where Britney was and why. He nodded his head. He yelled
"Blaze breakfast is ready!!!!!"
I felt my wolf and I get really excited. I heard someone running down the steps and smelt the most delicious scent. It smelled like peanut butter chocolate. I knew it was Blaze because that is how he always smells. My wolf is screaming mate.
Blaze runs into the kitchen, but immediately stops. He sniffs the air and looks around. His eyes land on me. At the same time, we both whisper 'MATE'. He runs up to me. Blaze picks me up and spins me around in circles. Everyone is clapping for us. I barely hear them though because my heart is beating so fast from the sparks and tingles going through my body. Blaze sets me down and we eat breakfast.
After breakfast Blaze brings me to his room. The first thing he says is
" How come I never knew you were my mate?".
I tell him the same story that I told Britney. I took a while because he kept getting really mad and I had to keep calming him down. Blaze didn't like the fact that I cut myself,but i promised him I would never do it again.
By the end of my story it was pretty dark out. Britney and I woke up at ten, so we all had breakfast at lunch time. While I was telling the story, Blaze got us some dinner. Britney still hasn't come back, so I was a little worried.
Blaze and I layed down and watched teen wolf together. He really didn't want to, but he did for me. He pretended to watch it when he really just stared at me and played with my hair. I rolled over and curled into his side. I stared into his eyes. They were captivating.
"Can I mark you as mine please?" Blaze asks.
I nod my head 'Yes' and he marks me as his. I yawn and lay back down. Blaze lays besides me, so my head was on his chest. I fall into the best sleep I have ever had.
And to make it better.
I finally had my mate by my side.
