The Night Wolf novel Chapter 27

"What did you do to me?" Hunter raised his brows, he gave out a low laugh.

"Why do you hate me so much? What did I do for you to want me to die?"

"Why?" Hunter asked back. "Why? Because you've ruined my life!"

"How did I ruin your life? You seem quite happy and contend to your life to me."

"You've ruined my life," yelled Hunter. "Because you exist!"

The bathroom was silent beside the music which was blaring dowstairs through the large speakers. But the people inside the bathroom seemed not to notice it, they stared at each other without blinking, hatred and longing pooling both their eyes.

"I've ruined your life, by existing. I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna kill myself for you. But I can keep myself away from you. I've been doing that for a while, so I hope you do that too, and keep your friends away too." Willow wiped the tears away with the hand which hadn't bruised much, she hadn't noticed when she had started crying again. "I'm sorry."

Willow pulled away from the door and ducked under Hunter's arm, opening the door she stepped out.

Willow couldn't bare to stay there in the bathroom. She was angry and hurt and scared, it was like the day when he had labeled her as a 'Reject', all over. She felt like the whole house was cramming her in.

She had to get out.

While climbing down the stairs she also came across the same guy who had stopped her, he too noticed her. He scoffed at her before continuing his talk with the girl in front of him about some kid at school, hopefully not her.

Willow wanted to roll her eyes, but couldn't bring up the energy to do it or care.

Now that Willow thought about it, Hunter must be the reason why Rowan was avoiding her. He might have befriended Rowan, and told him to keep away from her. That made perfect sense to her, and also made her extremely mad and sad at the same time. She had too much expectation on Rowan. But the outcome, it hurt her badly.

Willow sniffed, her tears pooling in her eyes again, so she rushed to go outside away from the drunk, dancing people.

Once out, her face was hit with a cool breeze of the emerging autumn air. She sighed, but before she could let her breath go, she stiffened.

The backyard was mostly empty save for Carrie Bermann seated on the outdoor table, crying.

Willow slowly turned around and headed back in. The moment she stepped in, she felt guilty. Maybe she should ask her if she was alright, but then again, she was crying and that meant she was not.

She shouldn't be nosy.

"Of course you're not." Said Willow. "Since you're fine, I'll be heading in."

"I'm fine." Said Carrie as she started crying, loudly. "He promised!"

"Oh what is it? I'm all ears." Said Willow forcefully, seeing how Carrie wanted to talk about her problem which Willow didn't want to hear.

It wasn't like Willow is a pushover...okay she is.

Willow sat her butt on the seat opposite Carrie's.

"I told him that we should break up, a year ago, but he insisted and said that he couldn't live without me." Sobbed Carrie. "He said that he was sure that we were mates. But now he met his mate and ditched me. I don't even see him anymore. I loved him so much, but he-" Hiccuped Carrie. "He just left me all alone. You should also have some." Carrie passed the bottle of wine over to Willow. "How am I supposed to live without him now?"

Willow nodded throughout the story. She had the idea who Carrie was talking about, but the fact that they broke up was new to her. She was shocked, because if any couple that could stay one from school to the old days, then that must have been Carrie and her boyfriend Greg Doug.

Why?

Because they are that one couple who were best friends since their diaper days to the middle school, when they started dating. And they were perhaps the cutest couple in the school, they got along well and everyone could see that.
