The Omega And Her Triplet Mates

Chapter 6: Hurt

The next day, when I saw Jax, I went over to him, and when I tried to take his hand, he pulled away from me roughly.

We were in the television area, and only two other patients were in there with us.

I was sitting on the sofa when Jax angrily stood up and gave his back to me. When he next turned around, his face was completely cold and devoid of any emotion.

I stood up and tried to reach out to him, but he grabbed my arm and flung me up against the wall and snarled, “don’t f.ucking touch me. We are not a couple, we made out, that’s it, nothing more.” If my heart could have crawled up my throat and fallen onto the floor to die, it would have.

He had completely changed, and I didn’t understand why until his next words.

“You wanted to experience what it was like to kiss and have foreplay, You got to experience that with a guy you’ve been crushing on the moment we met. I did you a favour, now you owe me one.”

I looked at him, feeling completely heartbroken, humiliated, and confused. “What do you mean?” I asked tearfully.

Smirking, he said, “you get on with Pete, he trusts and likes you, which is how you got him to get the keys for you to the patient’s files. Carol stopped letting me play with her after we almost got caught by another nurse, so I can’t sneak the keys from her anymore. She doesn’t have the keys I want anyway.”

I was still confused, and he carried on, “I want you to get the keys that open all the doors in this place. Hagrid is usually the one who always has them on her, but she’s sat on her fat arse at the desk. I’d offer to f***k her, but she’s way too suspicious she would know I’m up to something.”

“You’re like a genius or something, why can’t you figure it out yourself?”

Stepping away from me and letting go of my top, he said, “I don’t have the f.ucking patience, she’s too suspicious, like I said. She likes Pete, thinks he’s a sweet old man, me, on the other hand, she hates my f.ucking guts, and there’s too many wereanimals to try and wolf my way out of here.”

I stood up straight and muttered, “why can’t you ask him yourself instead of using me to get to him?”

He grinned and replied, “don’t take it personally, I’m f.ucked up, we both know that. Pete f.ucking hates me too, and he’s one paranoid fucker, he will listen to you though.”

I didn’t think I could hold the tears in much longer, so I went to walk away, but he grabbed the back of my top and yanked me back roughly against the wall. “You owe me, Rose.”

“Fine, whatever,” I muttered and pushed past him and rushed to my room. I collapsed onto the bed sobbing.

How could I have been so stupid! He was a psychopath who was incapable of love, and I had fallen into his trap like some stupid teen with a crush.

I had fallen in love with someone who would never feel that way about me in return, and my heart felt like it wanted to explode into a million little pieces. I cried and cried and felt like I would never stop until eventually, at some point, exhaustion took me over, and I fell into a fitful sleep.

When I woke up, I went outside and saw Jax sitting in the television area, pain hit my heart, and I quickly walked past him.

I felt strong arms wrap around my waist and heard Jax’s voice whispering into my ear, “I’m sorry for being a prick. You’ve been nothing but sweet and kind, and you didn’t deserve that, I’m so f.ucking sorry. I do want to get out of here, but I don’t need to be a c.unt about it, so here I am, begging you to forgive me.”

Relief so huge hit me full in the chest, and with a big grin, I spun and wrapped my arms around his waist.

When I looked up into his eyes, he leaned down to press his lips against mine, but I didn’t feel anything.

I blinked my eyes a few times and opened them blearily. Looking around, I found myself lying in my bed, and realization hit me. It had been a dream.

Pain hit me all over again so that I curled up into a ball and couldn’t bring myself to move until a nurse came in and forced me out to eat.

I grabbed my tray and refused to look around for Jax but he found me anyway when I sat down. He sat opposite me, and with a grin, he asked, “so when are you going to talk to Pete?”

“Tomorrow,” I answered quietly.

He gave that boyish laugh that I loved so much, causing me more pain, and said, “hey, don’t look so defeated, it was fun, and we can still be friends. I’ll even take you with me when I get out of here if you want.”

I scowled at him and didn’t answer, but hope still filled me at his words. If he still wanted to be my friend and if I left with him, maybe he could possibly end up feeling more than just friendship for me? I mentally shook myself. Stupid false hope.

Convincing Pete wasn’t hard, especially when I agreed he could come with us, and so he went off to do his job.

I waited by the wall, and Jax came over, leaning back against the wall with one foot back against it and arms folded.

“Pete’s coming with us,” I said, staring straight ahead. I felt him look down at me at that.

“For f***k’s sake, Rose, too many of us will be suspicious, and it will be way more f.ucking likely that we get caught that way.”

I shrugged my shoulders and saw out the corner of my eye him sneer at me.

“Fine, whatever, he can be bait, or you, I don’t really care. If either of you get caught, I’m not stopping to help.”

I snorted and answered, “I wouldn’t expect anything less.”

He laughed at my response but didn’t add anything else.

Pete was back in less than twenty minutes.

Jax stepped forward and muttered, “s.hit, that was quick.”

Pete gave him the keys, and Jax looked at the both of us and said, “you ready boys and girls?”

We had to act fast because when it came time to put everyone back in their rooms for the night. ‘Hagrid,’ as Jax called her, would be looking for the keys to lock us up.

I didn’t know what her real name was, but Jax had clearly come up with the nickname because of her frizzy, curly hair and heavily overweight six foot frame and the fact she was a werebear.

While she was sitting at the desk watching the small television set, we followed Jax’s lead, quietly sneaking past her and to the door at the end of the hall. It was locked, of course, and Jax had to go through six keys trying to find the right one. When it came to the seventh, I hissed, “hurry up!”

“I’m f.ucking trying, there’s like a hundred different f.uckers here.” Finally, he got it open and locked it behind us. We rushed down the hallway and came to another door.

It took Jax almost as long as the last door to find the right key, and I was seriously starting to doubt this would work. When it opened, we followed the directions on the hallway walls, turning left to see stairways leading down.

We ran down three flights of staircases until we reached another door. When we opened it, we found ourselves faced with a nurse. “What the hell are you guys doing out here?” He looked furious and, at 6’3 terrifying to me. Jax somehow slipped past him, and I followed suit.

The nurse was overwhelmed on his own and didn’t know who to grab first, he wouldn’t risk shifting to his animal form out in public.

He grabbed Pete’s shirt as I slipped by, and I faltered. He had helped us massively, and I couldn’t turn my back on him. I went to run back to try to help him, but Jax yanked the back of my top, making me fly back against him.

I tried to push him away, but he gripped my arm tightly and pulled me away. “He’s f.ucking done, Rose, the best thing we can do for him now is get the f***k out of here, so his work wasn’t in vain.” He ignored my protests and didn’t stop running until we were outside and a mile away from the hospital.

I was almost dying and collapsed to the floor exhausted when we finally stopped.

Jax s.lapped me on the back and breathlessly declared, “we f.ucking made it!”

When my heart slowly returned to a normal rate, I got up and looked around in awe. It had been almost three years since I had seen the outdoors.

If I had been in any other ward, there would have been a pretty garden for me to get some fresh air, but the north side was for patients considered too dangerous to be let out of their wards for any period of time.

I got up and started walking down the road.

“Hey, where the f***k are you going?” Jax asked jovially.

“Anywhere that’s away from you.” I was too hurt, and anger started to fill me up. He had used me, and not only that but taken the one thing I had wanted to lose to a special someone…my first kiss.

I was more angry at myself for being so dumb and naïve to think that a gorgeous guy who could have easily been a supermodel would want someone like me.

Jax muttered, “suit yourself, dude.”

I walked and walked until I found the town center, and finding a wall, I slid down against it to rest. I hadn’t thought this through. Obviously, there was no way I could go back to Mother’s, and I had no other place to go.
