Hybrid and Her Mate

Moving Forward

Waking up to the lighting shinning through the window, I felt better then I did the following day. Hell, I felt better then the following year. I think this means I am on the journey to healing. After a few minutes of laying there enjoying myself for the first time in a long time, I felt someone's arm wrapped around my hip. I quickly dove from underneath the covers and across the room. I look back to see that it was Jake, he looked hurt but understanding.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch you let alone fall asleep in your bed." Jake apologized to me honestly. I felt that he met it, but I still felt hurt that he did. I remembered the night before that after our little indoor picnic, we continued to talk about our life, and I cried about everything that had happened. Jake even showed his soft side by crying as well. We discussed what our future would be like and he apologized again for how he acted before.

"I get it, I do, but I'm kind of pissed off about this. I know it wasn't your fault, its just the sense in general. Maybe I'm just pissed off at myself for being this way. I don't know, but I would really appreciate a few minutes to myself." I told him honestly. If my words upset him, he didn't show it. He said to come out when I was ready or let him know if he should bring me breakfast. Then he left the room to leave me to my thoughts.

I realized that I hadn't heard from Ella since before the kidnapping. I could feel she was there, but she was silent. I also felt that my magic was a little out of reach. I was a little worried about what was going on and would check in to it when I felt better. Or maybe I will have someone come to me and see if they can tell me what is going on. No, I am going to dress myself and walk myself down to breakfast and join the community again. I took my time getting ready and when I was finished, I looked at the clock and saw that it was the end of breakfast which meant that there would be less people. I opened my door and out of fear, I looked both ways before leaving my room. I walked down to the dining area and sat down. There were a few people at the table and I choose the opposite side. I walked in and sat down. People were surprised to see me and stopped what they were doing when they saw me. I could see Allie coming it and when she looked up, she stopped in her tracks. When it registered who I was, she came running with tears streaming down her face.

"Selene! Oh my gosh, how are you honey. I've been so worried. I wanted to check on you, but Jake said to let you be until you were ready." She gushed and tried to wrap her arms around me. I immediately jumped up and backpedaled as fast as I could with my hands raised. I know she meant well, but I couldn't bear it.

"I'm so sorry!" Allie exclaimed with tears in her eyes. " I didn't mean to scare you! Please sit bac down. Here, I'll sit down first so you can feel a little more comfortable. She went to her normal spot and I unfroze. I followed her over and sat down a couple chairs away. She looked like she wanted to ask something, but the omegas came in and took our orders. We then sat in awkward silence staring at anywhere, but each other. Maybe it was too soon to come out. After a few minutes, I felt the hair stand up on my neck and then the chair slid out beside me. Someone sat in the seat right next to me. When I looked over, I saw it was a guy. He had a lot of the same facial similarities as Zach and I immediately freaked out. Abandoning my breakfast that hadn't arrived yet, I flew up to my room. Images of what happened kept flooding my head and I started crying. I felt myself going into an anxiety attack, but couldn't calm myself down. The only thing that would help me is a bath, so I walked to the bathroom to run a bath. I was trying to calm myself, but I couldn't. I got my bath ready, but before I could get undressed, I felt myself start to black out. I blinked and I was on the floor not knowing how I got there. Before I could process, I felt myself going black again.

Next thing I knew, I felt a pair of arms picking me up and putting me in the hot water. I started to feel calmer and as I came to, I saw that it was Jake. He looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry that I touched you, but I saw you passed out and the full bath. I remembered you had told me that you take a bath when you have an anxiety attack, so I put you in. I came in to find you because my mother called me and told me what had happened so I brought your breakfast up for you. I will leave it on your bed and leave." He then left the room and I heard the door close. I sat in the bath and soaked for awhile, but my stomach got the best of me and I went to eat. I scarfed down my food and after I felt exhausted. I knew it was from my attack and all of the worry I have gone threw. Against my better judgement, I decided that I would go back to bed. I took my tray and opened my door. Once again, I looked both ways and set down the tray. I quickly ducked back into my room and and curled up on my bed. The last thing I heard before I passed out was a voice, but couldn't place who's it was. It said:

"I'm still hear." It was very faint, and then I fell into a deep slumber.
