Episode 4
1006 Words
Later that evening, I got home late to find Jeremy's car in the driveway.
“Has he decided to bring the bullying home?” I thought to myself as my heart raced.
I entered the house to find him sprawled with Clara as they saw a movie.
I quickly made my way to the stairs when I heard him call me by my name.
“Laura, you're home.” I stared at him surprised. Maybe he did hit his head somewhere, I thought to myself.
“Why not see a movie with us? Your parents won't be coming home tonight,” he asked politely.
“No. I'd rather go to…”
He interjected. “Don't make it hard for yourself Fatty. Come spend some time with us,” he ordered.
This is the typical Jeremy I know.
To avoid trouble, I reluctantly went and sat down opposite them. I didn't want to be close to them. So I stared at the television but couldn't concentrate on what was displayed.
Next, I could feel my heart tightening and then I heard the smacking of my lips.
I turned to see Jeremy and Clara in an intense kissing session.
I knew I couldn't bear it so I stood up and ran upstairs to my room clutching my chest. The pain went on for extra minutes before it stopped.
I stood up, cleaned my tears, and ran a bath. The thought of them kissing kept replaying in my head.
And then I heard Mr. Matt's voice in my head. “Let me teach you how to fight back.”
I quietly opened my room door but could hear the TV still playing so I figured they were still watching. I dragged myself to bed.
I tried to sleep but still couldn't get over Mr. Matt's offer that kept replaying in my head.
I think I will have to consider his offer. Whatever it would take to make Jeremy pay for all the pain he caused me.

Clara came down on Monday morning while everyone else was already seated for breakfast.
“You came in late,” Kathie said. It came as a statement instead of a question.
Clara looked at her and shrugged then went ahead to sit and dish out her food.
“Slept well?” Trevor asked.
“Oh! I had a great night Dad,” she replied, looking all bubbly and suddenly cheerful.
After a few minutes of silence, she turned to me, “Pass me the milk.”
This is the first time she has spoken to me in weeks. It is either my parents didn't notice or they chose to keep quiet about it.
I slowly took the milk and passed it to her. We had a quiet breakfast afterward.
I decided that later that day would be the right time to talk to her. I will have to talk to my sister about what happened between her and Jeremy.
At school, I had just finished peeing when I heard my sister and Jeremy walk into the convenience room and they started making out.
I held onto my chest and tried as much as possible not to make a sound.
I'm sure they didn't think anyone would be here at this hour. It was already past closing hour so everyone should be either on their way home or already home. I was still in school because I was at the library.
“I had a great night the other night,” Clara says after their kiss.
“I did as well” I heard Jeremy say.
“When are you rejecting her?” Clara asked Jeremy.
“Not yet.”
“What? But I thought you said…”
“I know what I said. I just want to see her suffer while I have you all to myself”
I heard Clara giggling.
“But…” she tried to say something.
“No buts darling or have you grown soft for her?”
“She is my sister, I have to show some concern. But, I think it will be fun to watch that fat Ass suffer.”
“That's what I thought. I'll see you tonight” Jeremy said and gave her a quick peck and hurried out.
I stood there, tears rolling down my cheeks.
“My sister?” That was what I could think about. How could she do this to me? Being bullied by a mate hurts but knowing my sister teamed up to humiliate and hurt me hurts more.
After I heard Clara's departure, I walked out, took my bag, and left school.
This is the most down moment for me. The only person I thought I counted on has betrayed me way more than I thought.
“You have to be strong Laura.” I could hear my wolf say to me.
I knew I couldn't go home as I knew I would be going to meet my sister so I kept walking without direction. I just wanted to get away from everything. Everyone.
As I walked in the middle of the road, I didn't notice a car coming from behind me, and just immediately after a sharp bend, I felt its collision on my body and the thud of my body hitting the floor.
A part of me was happy to receive death with open arms. At that point, even death was better than knowing that my sister enjoyed the suffering I got from my mate.
I heard someone run to me and call my name. Screaming my name.
“Laura! Laura!!.”
I just smiled to myself because I was going to have peace as the darkness was starting to envelop me.
“Green eyes! Don't you dare die on me!”
Mr. Matt?
I suddenly could feel my heart leap and my wolf saying. “He will save us. He will save us.”
“What is he doing here?” I didn't have much to think till I was finally lost in darkness.
