Her Decision

Sunshine

Jamar

“Dad?” My day was so bad that I’m hallucinating now. There was no way that my dad was standing in front of my mom and I right now. “Jairo por que esta aquí?” My mom spoke fluent Spanish and so did I, but only because my dad insisted. It’s how I met Sayed. His wolf had the ability to touch someone who spoke a different language and learn it instantly. My dad’s voice brought me back to the present. “The Moon Goddess restored my memories.” Now I was out right angry. “So you couldn’t be a man and come back on your own simply because you wanted to do the right thing? Huh? What about us? We f*****g needed you. You just left us like we didn’t mean s**t to you and now we’re supposed to be happy that you came back? No.” I knew I was being disrespectful, but I just didn’t care anymore.

“Jamar! You will not speak to your father that way!” My mom said to me. “Really ma? You’re that quick to forgive? Tell him how many nights you cried! Tell him about the nights you would sleep in the shed just to be close to him. Tell him how you’re working 2 jobs just keep us afloat! How we didn’t have money for school clothes this year.” I wasn’t letting up. My dad had hurt us in the worst way. Couldn’t he see that? I turned and saw that my dad had closed his eyes as if he were in pain. “Idara? Es cierto?” He asked my mom. “Yes everything he said is true.” I had to get out of here. This was too much for me to deal with in a single day.

“I’m out of here. I don’t have any respect for you.” I didn’t know where I was gonna go, but anywhere was better than here. I felt my mom pressing her car keys into my hand. “Go. Back before 2 ok?” She always understands. “Will you be okay here with him alone?” I didn’t want my mom to stay here either. “I have to baby. He’s my mate and there is so much we have to discuss.” Thank God I wasn’t a parent yet. I would’ve left my mate here without a second thought if someone ever did that to me. I was so angry. The scene of Aliana and Terrance kept replaying in my mind. Now my “dad” was back with even more bs.

*me*

I need you to get me Amber’s number

*Sayed the Man*

For what bro?

*me*

Because Aliana f*****g cheated on me! That’s why! I just need to see her. I need to apologize.

I didn’t even know if Amber would be willing to see me. Our first week of senior year had been crazy. The saddest part was the fact that it wasn’t even Friday yet. I would have to find somewhere else to sit. There was no way I could sit at a table with Aliana and Terrance without losing my cool. Maybe I could treat Amber to off campus lunch if she lets me? That idea lifted my spirits a little. I began to form a plan when I heard my phone vibrating.

*Sayed the Man*

737.368.0807

*Sayed the Man*

Don’t say I never did anything for you. I’m sorry about Aliana though bro.

*me*

Not right now man. Thank you though.

I didn’t need Sayed feeling sorry for me. He was gonna have to help me win over Amber. I knew he would be conflicted. Simone and Aliana were best friends, but we had been boys since grade school. If I knew anything Aliana would try whatever she could if it meant we’d get back together but in my eyes it was over and done. Speaking of the devil, my phone indicated I had a text from her.

*Aliana*

Jamar I am so sorry.

*Aliana*

Give me a chance to make everything right again. I’ll do anything.

*Aliana*

Anything baby. Please!

Time to have some fun.

*me*

Anything?

*Aliana*

ANYTHING

*me*

Tell me what really happened with Terrance and I’ll think about it.

I threw down the gauntlet. There really wasn’t s**t for me to think about. I had been sitting in our local park for about 20 minutes. I just needed to write a text and immediately send it. Otherwise I would never text Amber.

*me*

Is this my pretty girl?

Damn that was cheesy, but it’s all I had. I hoped she wouldn’t rip my head off. I knew she wouldn’t though. She was too sweet for that.

*7373680807*

It depends. Is my future fiancé still entertaining a stank b***h he’s way too good for?

Damn! A stank b***h huh? What do you think G? I thought to Gideon. I like her. She’s funny. We both laughed and I tried to think of what to say next. I wanted to keep it light, but I needed to tell her everything I had been holding in.

*me*

I don’t want to talk about her.

*HER*

I’m sorry. I don’t want to upset you even more. Inquiring minds would like to know you got my number though. Lol.

*me*

Don’t be mad, but I sent Sayed on a mission for it.

*HER*

Now what would you do that for?

*me*

To apologize. I wanted to do this in person though. Can I pick you up? I promise to have you back within the hour.

FUCK! I absolutely had NOT planned to apologize in person. That made things harder. When it came to Amber, I couldn’t control myself. I wanted everything to be perfect for her. My angel needed the best.

*HER*

Let me ask my dad

*Aliana*

What do you want to know?

*Mama*

Why are you and I being summoned to the packhouse for a meeting? Your dad is coming too.

Go to the pack house for what? Damn I was gonna have to cancel my apology date with Amber. s**t! Things can never go right. I began to text Amber, but her text came through first.

*HER*

Rain check? My dad is calling a meeting at the pack house and for some reason I have to be there.

*me*

Your dad is the alpha?

SHIT
