Chapter 261: Broken promises

Gyles.

I sit on the edge of his bed because I am suddenly regretting this decision. Yeah, we didn’t know what we walked into but I at least didn’t think it would be this bad. We both hear their conversations. His mother is not even trying to be subtle. She is not hiding how she feels at all and I see that she doesn’t like us—she doesn’t like wolves.

"We messed up,’ Rex mutters quietly. He is still standing on the same spot from when Blue left. He doesn’t seem to want to move.

"Hey, come here,’’ I stretch my hands out and he moves slowly until he is in front of me. His eyes are still fixed to the door. He is waiting for Blue to come back into the room. The voices have stopped, so I know that his mother is no longer with him. I don’t know why he hasn’t come in but I need to just focus on Rex right now. I grab his hands in mine and he finally turns to me. "It’s going to be okay."

I am trying to give him assurance that I don’t even believe in. I don’t know if it is going to be okay. I don’t know anything about Blue but it seems to me like he doesn’t have a good relationship with his mother. I knew from the first day I met Jules that the man loved his son. This woman, on the other hand, has this anger in her. It doesn’t feel like she is a nice person.

"How sure are you?" he asks.

I know he has regrets. He didn’t want to come here. I am the one that pestered him to. I guess I thought this was a way to make things right between me and Blue and I brought Rex in the middle. Thinking about it, I shouldn’t have involved him.

"Just calm down. We will leave before things get worse,’’ I tell him.

He shakes his head "What about Blue. It seemed like he didn’t tell her about us. Meaning he didn’t want her to know about this. What is going to happen now?’’

I close my eyes for a couple of seconds because I don’t know what he wants me to say. I don’t know anything right now, slowly opening my eyes, the door opens before I can respond to him. I am thankful because I didn’t even have anything to say. I didn’t know how to make this better.

Bleu looks at us and all I can focus on is how red his eyes are right now. It makes me angrier with myself. He walks over to us and I watch him as he stops in front of us. "Okay, that didn’t go well,’’ he breathes out, running his hands through his hair.

My eyes remain on him. He sighs loudly "I am sorry,’’ I manage because at the end of this, it is all my fault.

"For coming here or for disobeying me when I asked you to go back home?’’ he asks heavily.

I look away from him for a second and then back to him "Both.... I didn’t know that this would happen." I tell him honestly. The worst thing I thought would happen was him angry with us and sending us back home.

I didn’t know that he had problems here.

Blue didn’t seem like the kind of person that anyone could have a problem with. He has this aura about him. The one that makes people love him. I just imagined that he would be accepted for who he is but now, it seems like his mother has hate for who he is. She doesn’t want him to be who he truly is.

"It’s too late for the blame game anyways. I need to get you back home first thing in the morning.’’ He mutters. "Right now, I want you guys to stay inside this room until I get back. It’s late. I am sure you are tired. So just have a shower if you want and go to bed.’’ He is glaring at me. Almost like this warning is for me.

I am the trouble maker.

The problematic one.

I don’t deny that.

"How long are you going to be gone?’’ Rex pipes up meekly.

He smiles at him and walks over to him, slowly planting a soft kiss on his forehead "I have some things to do. People to talk to at this party and I don’t want you guys around these people. I will be back in the room in a couple of hours." He is only calm to him.

He still hates me.

"Okay,’’ Rex manages softly.

There is a fit of jealousy inside me that I don’t want to admit. I know it will take a while before he completely comes around to me but I just wish he would forgive me and treat me the same way he is treating Rex. I don’t want to have to worry about pleasing him and making sure he is not upset with me.

I just want him.

He turns to me and grabs my hand in his, there is a glare on his face "I need you to listen to me tonight. Stay inside the room. Do not come out,’’ he reaches for my face with his other hand and I sigh loudly because I know he is trying his best. I have to listen to him.

I don’t want to keep upsetting him.

"I promise, I won’t leave,’’ I assure him and this gets a smile out of him. I love it when he smiles. I love it when he is happy with me. We might not be where I want us to be but this is a step forward. We are getting to that point. He leans forward until his lips are on mine. I close my eyes, wanting more from the kiss but he lets go of me before I can even relax in his arms.

Once he is out of the door, I look at Rex and he has a smile on his face "I think he has forgiven you,’’ he points out.

I smile because for the first time I am content.

***********************

I open my eyes to the sound of the door and the room is dark. I check Rex’s side of the bed and he is not on it. in one quick moment, I jump off the bed and see him as he departs from the room.

Why is he going out?

What is happening?

I stand up because I don’t want to do anything to make Blue angry with me "Rex,’’ I call his name quietly as I get to the halls. He is walking down the hall, almost like he is sleepwalking. I don’t know what is going on but I see something glistening in his hand. Squinting my eyes, I look closer until I see the knife.

Why does he have a knife?

I run over to him and grab him by his shoulder. He stops walking but doesn’t turn around "What are you doing?’’ I manage because I am confused.

He doesn’t respond to me, so I go over to him and his eyes are open. They are white, completely. I am worried because something seems very wrong.

"Rex,’’ I call his name. I want him to snap out of whatever this is. In one swift moment, I feel the knife as it pierces through my chest. I fall to the floor because the blood starts to gush out.

I watch him as he walks away from me, unable to stop him.

Slowly my eyes close and all I can think of is breaking my promise to Blue.
