Chapter 6: whispers and rants

“What are you guys doing here?? You were not supposed to be here anyways.” I tell them.

“Well geez.. we are leaving now princess. Don’t get your panties twisted in a wad.” Kent says.

And he laughs like he just cracked the most hilarious joke In the world. Funny little nigga.

“Good . Then you should Better be on your way.”I smile tightly.

“We should go now mate. See you around. Keep this one in a leash.” Kent sniggers and his other friend stands there just staring down at me with this dangerous glint.

He scares me genuinely. There is just something about Him. Maybe it is the empty look in his eyes, the dead stare he fixes on all the time and the menacing energy I feel from him whenever he looks in my direction. He is the definition of evil to me because no one sees what he does when there is no one watching.

As he walks by me I shrink away from him closer to Jeremy and I feel my wolf calm down. He stares and leaves.

“Why were they here.?? I thought it was only going to be us both here?” I ask Jeremy once I was sure they were out of hearing distance. They are wolves so I wait for them to walk further away till they are out of earshot and can't hear what I am about to say to Jeremy.

The last thing I want today is another confrontation and I don’t want to give them more reasons to beat on me later. Not like they need the encouragement anyways. They are always ready and willing to hit me and slap me around just because they can do it. It is sickening.

“What do you want to do about them? They just stood there and insulted me? You should never have brought them here. Sometimes I wonder why they are your friends!! You guys have nothing in common. They are mean people and they are rude as hell to me so why?” I ask him because I really want to know.

The saying that birds of the same feather flock together. Well in this case they have nothing in common, their feathers do not match in the least.

“What do you want me to say?? He is sorry and I am sure he didn’t mean it to come out that way. You know how Kent can be. He can be an asshole but he means no harm. They have been my friends since we were young. Our families are close...” he says like that makes keeping horrible friends okay.

It doesn’t.

If you have toxic friends then eventually they become a problem because I don’t see their toxicity and it ends up rubbing off on you. I feel like when you don’t see what they do as wrong that means you are also like them but just closeted.

Since I am Jeremy have been friends he has never been mean to me or rude to me or done anything bad or degrading but I fear one day he is going to wake up and be like them. Do the things they do and even eventually he will come to loathe and see like they all do. Disposable and easily dismissed because I am different and nothing special.

I fear he is going to hurt me like they do. Or in his own case it might be even worse because the pain would be crippling and mind boggling.

“What do you want me to say?! I am sorry he was mean to you how about we forget about it and enjoy the rest of the day. I don’t want the day to be ruined because he made a stupid joke and you overreacted.” He says.

“I am overreacting? You think I am overreacting?! I am barely reacting. If I reacted things would get messy fast. So don’t hit me with that line. Stop it right now.” I tell him.

He pauses and just stares at me not knowing what to say.
