The Magical Alpha's Forbidden Mate

TEARS OF FRUSTRATION

Andy POV

“No Andy you are doing it wrong.” Jessy said from beside me and took the blanket.

“I’m sure I can fold a blanket without if having to become rocket science Jess.” I said and took back the blanket.

“hey guys, if you are done fighting about who gets to fold the blanket a bit of quiet would be nice.” Anna said from the couch she is sitting on.

It’s been a week since she got home and every day after school we are here. Jessy brings her work and well me I’m here because I’m trying to help hence the word trying.

I threw the blanket I’ve been trying to fold at Jessy and huffed. I don’t know what is wrong but that blanket just doesn’t want to be folded.

“Can I show you how to fold a round blanket?” Jessy asked in a mocked voice. I just glared at her and walked over to Anna.

She has been trying to catch up on three week’s work and I must say she is really smart. I mean she wasn’t even at school and she knows what is going on in every one of her subjects.

“how do you do it?” I asked her truly interested.

She looked at me and took the pencil out of her mouth and said, “do what?”

“work so fast, I mean you didn’t even once ask Jessy for help.” I said and stared at her in awe.

“I know all this because I can read you know.” Anna said in a duh tone which caused me to just chuckle at her.

Ever since Jessy told me she’s awake I didn’t waste one minute of time with her even when she does get sick of us we will still show up the next day. The doctor said she will have the cast on for at least two months and her arm cast should come off within six weeks.

I cannot imagine the pain she is in whenever she moves wrong or when she bumps her foot on a step or the corner of a table. she has been doing that so much that we actually moved all the tables and as for the stairs well she is using the room down stairs for now.

The police only came around once to tell us that Tommy was killed by a wild animal and that we should stay clear of the woods. I didn’t miss the way Anna changed when the Police left and she became half distant and zoning out constantly. I just wish I know what is going on in her head and in her dreams because she has woken up multiple times screaming and she started talking in her sleep. When we ask her about it she says she can’t remember.

“do you want something to drink or eat?” I asked feeling a bit awkward.

“yes please.” Jessy shouted from behind me. I looked at Anna and she just nodded her head.

I got up and went to the kitchen. I took out cheese and ham and just decided to make some toasted ham and cheese. While I was making the sandwiches there was a knock on the door.

“I got it.” Jessy shouted and went to the door as curious as I am I left to see who is at the door. When she opened the door a man in in a grey uniform was standing there with a bunch of red roses and he said, “I have a delivery for miss Anna Lane.”

Jessy looked at me and just shrugged her shoulders. She took the flowers and thanked the man closing the door and walking into the lounge.

“Anna this came for you.” Jessy said and showed her the flowers. Anna looked taken aback for a second before her eyes landed on me. she turned her head away and said, “I don’t want it.” and continued working.

Jessy looked at the flowers and took out a card. “there is a card here.” She said and handed it to Anna. Anna looked at it but didn’t take it.

I walked over to Jessy and grabbed the card out of her hand. “hey that is not yours.” Jessy said, but I didn’t care I want to know who sends my girl roses.

I opened the card and there was one sentence, “ready to talk yet?” and it was signed with a D. and that is when I knew the roses are from Damien.

I looked at Anna and asked, “talk about what?”

Anna POV

This has been the longest week of my life and I wish I could just sleep and wake up when everything is back to normal.

Andy and Jessy has been driving me crazy with their hovering and them constantly wanting to do everything for me. I’m cripple not brain dead. I thought to myself as I do my work trying my best to ignore the both of them. They have been bickering back and forth about a blanket and it is taking every ounce of my self-control not to shout at them.

I am drowning in work and my leg is paining making it very hard not to be grumpy.

Making small talk with Andy and Jessy is the last thing on my mind so when Andy suggested food I nodded my head even though I am not hungry but I know it will keep him busy for a couple of minutes. Jessy on the other hand keeps looking at me as though I’m going to go up in smoke any minute and I will if she keeps staring.

There was a knock on the door and a chill went down my spine. I just hope it isn’t the cops again because I have had enough of them for a lifetime now.

When Jessy came back she was holding a bunch of red roses and I didn’t have to ask to know who they are from. I don’t know how but I’m not hearing Damien in my head anymore, but that doesn’t stop him from invading my dreams. I dream about him almost every night and I that is part of the reason I’m not in a good mood because I haven’t been sleeping well.

I looked over at Andy and I just sighted internally because here it comes.

He walked over and took the card from Jessy and read, i saw his brows furrow and then he looked at me, “talk about what?” he asked me showing me the card.

“I don’t know Andy.” I said and I wasn’t lying completely because I have nothing to say to him.

“then why would he say this and why is he sending you roses?” Andy asked accusingly.

“if it’s a fight you are looking for Andy you will get one, because I am done defending myself against something I’m not even sure of. If you are so interested in knowing then why don’t you ask him yourself?” I said and glared at him.

“I just don’t get it, you met the guy one time and all of a sudden it’s like he’s everywhere.” Andy said and I could see the sadness behind his eyes.

“you think… you think I have something going on with him?” I asked Andy getting straight to the point. Andy looked at me and I saw his hesitation for a second and then he said, “no of course not.” I looked at him and said, “I think you guys should go home for a while. I don’t feel up for interrogation and definitely not accusations. I said and looked away.

“Anna…”

“please Andy just go home.” I said cutting him off. “take the roses with you.” I said an put on my earphones.

I am done with all of this I thought to myself as I skipped through my playlist deciding on which song to play. I heard the door close and they were gone. I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes as a tear slips down my cheek.

‘I love Andy, but since we started dating it’s been hell. He questions everything I do, he doesn’t believe me and now he thinks I’m cheating.’ I groaned in frustration and threw my books on the ground.

‘why has everything in my life became so complicated?’ I asked myself and pushed off the couch.

I picked up the crutch and made my way to the kitchen. When I walked in I saw that Andy never even finished the sandwiches or cleaned up.

I started packing the things back in the fridge when I slipped on a wet patch on the floor and fell. I knocked the ham off the counter and now I’m covered in it. “stupid thing.” I said and threw the crutch out of the kitchen. A few stray tears rolled down my cheek and then I was full on crying out of frustration.

I heard the front door opening and I can’t even see who is there. I started picking up the ham thinking my mom is not going to be happy. Silent sobs escaped my lips as I try to stand up but fail. I feel like shouting out screaming at the top of my lungs until my voice is gone.

“Anna?” I heard my mom’s voice and I have never been so happy to hear her.

“in here.” I said and wiped my eyes again.

When she came around the corner she gasped at me and knelt down. “honey what happened?” she asked and help pick up the ham.

“I… I… I…” I stammered out, but I couldn’t finish my sentence. I sat there sobbing. My mother pulled me into a hug and cooed me like a baby.

“come on let’s get you cleaned up.” She said and helped me off the floor. After a few curse word and lots of groaning I’m finally up.

My mother handed me the crutch and walked alongside me to the bedroom downstairs. The one I’m now using due to the stairs.

I can’t even take a proper bath I thought as a humourless laugh escaped my lips. My mom came back and looked at me funny.

“Anna are you okay honey?” she asked staring at me.

“no mom, no I am not okay. I can’t even take a normal bath let alone dress myself. Half my clothes are cut open to accommodate the cast on my leg. So no mom I’m not okay.” I said and looked at my mom.

“it’s just for a while Anna. And where is Jessy and Andy? They said they would be here to help you.”

“yah help me by getting on my nerves. I sent them home. I am tired and in pain and they were testing my patience.” I told my mom and she must have seen something on my face because she asked, “did you and Andy have another fight?” I looked at her and then just closed my eyes exhaling loudly.

“sort of. Another bunch of red roses came and Andy actually thinks I’m cheating on him.” I said and looked at my mother.

“I’m sure he doesn’t Anna.” My mom said and put her hand on my back.

“mom, I’m telling you I am tired of defending myself and of being accused of things I’m not guilty of mom.” I said and laid my head on her shoulder.

“how about you and me we take a little break?” my mother said and looked at me smiling.

“what do you mean?” I asked with a raised brow.

“I took some time off work and I booked a little vacation for us. Just you and me away from here.” My mother said still smiling.

“where are we going?” I asked feeling excited.

“we are going to Hapuna Beach State Park – Big Island Hawaii. I already booked the hotel and everything.” My mother said sounding really excited.

“when are we leaving?” I asked.

“Friday morning.” She said and got up off the bed. “I think you can do with a getaway and I can too. We haven’t left this town since your father died and I know he would want us to keep on living.” My mother said smiling sadly.

“I would love to go mom.” I said and smiled brightly. This can be just the thing I need to feel better. I thought and got up from the bed. I made my way to the bathroom and saw my mother has already put water in the bath for me. ‘now the struggle begins.’ I thought as I started undressing.
