Chapter 16 Being A Better Man
I open my eyes and my head is pounding.. What the hell happened? I try to get up but the rooms starts to spin and I feel vomit coming up. I trample to the bathroom and my whole body feels weak as hell.
I hear a voice that I didn't ever think I would hear again "Hello my love.." I open my eyes to Justina. I am shocked to the spot. I can feel my eyes are wide with a unreal expression. This isn't real... This is another dream..
I hear Susana in my head, 'It's not dream Jay. This is real and I can't come around you anymore. Justina won't allow it.' My head shoots to Justina "Are you real? I mean I saw you get attacked I cried holding your body for hours, and when the ambulance showed they had to pry your cold breathless body from my fingers. How is this possible?"
She seems shocked that I would ask these questions and I can tell she is disappointed. I can't understand why. Alex chimes in 'Dude she is hiding something, I don't even feel connected to her like I do with Susana.' That last part made me feel uneasy and I'm not sure why. I didn't even know I had a wolf.
Justina replies "My love it was all a hoax.. I wanted to tell you everything, but my father relayed a message to me of true danger coming to harm you and I had to leave immediately. I never wanted to leave you my love. You are my soul and heart. It's been hell all these years being away from you. Please believe me my love."
Alex chimes in my head 'She is lying bro, please open your eyes and see through her.' I reply "Justina I need time.. I can't.."She interrupts me "Sweetheart it's me." I can see the pain on her face but not in her eyes and I see what Alex is trying to show me.
I say in a stern tone "Yes it's been almost five years and your going to tell me this bullshit lie." I see the shock in her eyes because I don't normally use vulgar language. I can't help it "Get the f**k out Justina leave your number on the notepad by the elevator. I'm sure you know your way out."
I can see her trying to mustard up the tears, but I just can't take it anymore. I get up and grab her by the arm and escort her to the elevator. She pleads with me with two years on the each the side of her face "Please my love I love you. I can't loose you.. You know I don't have anything or anyone."
I said in a deadpan tone "Well go back to where you were staying the last five years."
I put her on the elevator and turned back to my room. I never could do that before she was always able to calm me down. Alex replies 'Yea that is weird, I couldn't get an ugly feeling off of my soul. She is bad my friend.'
I start to get upset and I can't even imagine being this way with her and I almost went after her, but Alex held me in my place. I can feel his pride 'I am not sorry Jay. This is for your own good. Do you really think she is hurting over you. I can tell you who is hurting over the both of us and the is my Caroline and your Susana.'
I could feel the possesive feeling overcoming my body. I left but I was going to 'My Susana'. I can feel Alex happy with excitement 'Yees I am ready for that sweet Caroline again. Um'. I shake my head and instead and taking a car I ran to Susana because I know I left her to herself. I don't understand why I blacked out. Either way I need to see Susana and make her feel better in all matters. I haven't been this sure about something in my whole life.
I get a flash
Susana walks in my family home and Justina is here also we were about to play hide and seek. I see Susana looking at Justina weird and I was maybe five, I went up to Susana and said "Don't laugh at her she has enough to deal with. Come on we are about to play hide and seek."
I hear my mothers voice "Kids lunch is ready come down." I was looking forward for lunch. My mother told me she was making sliced peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with milk. My favorite and I have two friends I can share with. I grab Susanas hand and Justinas hand and ran downstairs.
Jay Wakes Up
I am laying on the floor with mouthwash all over my shirt. What the hell is going on? Alex answers my question 'You know what that was. You had a vision of the past. You shared a connection with both woman.' I shake my head and stand up.
I say in a panic 'I don't understand.. A vision? Why haven't I ever experience this kind of thing before?' Alex laughs and I feel a little annoyed with him, but he says 'Jay don't worry it's your supernatural inner self trying to explain to you why the events that are on the horizon will come to pass. Be smart and figure out what your visions mean.'
I say sarcastically 'Why do you say my visions like you have no part in this'. I can feel his pride again and I want to punch myself but he stops me. He says in a jokingly tone 'Jay get your panties out a wad. I promise everything will make sense and you will be grateful for this powerful gift that has been given to you. Trust me you will agree'.
I shake my head and take another shower I had mouth wash everywhere. I hear my elevator door and the first person I could think about was Susana.. I hurriedly wash my body off and jump out. As I a drying myself off I feel fingers I haven't felt in a very long time. I turn around and Justina is standing in front of me with a seductive smile "Oh honey don't take my hands off you."
I hurry to my bedroom and lock the bathroom door. I yell out to her "Justina please leave I don't want to see you right now." I can feel her pain as I said the last word but I didn't have one type of doubt that staying away from her was the best thing.
She says in a cracked tone "Okay Jay let me know when you are ready... You know how to get a hold of me.." With that I hear her leave.
I take a deep breathe and when I exhaled I closed my eyes to work through some of the trials that are coming my way and I am extremely overwhelmed with the things I see happening. I ask myself how can I prevent these dreadful events? I sit back and debate on which paths I need to take and which paths I need to take heed of.
I fall asleep as I see everything unfolding and I have no idea what kind of madness I am getting myself into as I drift more and more into an abyss..
Jays Nightmare
I see Susana lifeless on the ground and Justina standing over her cold body. I say in an heated tone "What the f**k happened Justina?" She is smiling the creepiest smile that made my hairs stand up in attention. Alex chimes in again 'You know what that feeling means right? Deep in our deeper soul feels that Justina is a threat'.
I turn to see Justina smiling with both ends of her mouth are located by her cheek bones and I am frozen to the spot. What the f**k?
I turn to run the other way but she is in front of me faster than a road runner. She says in this deep toned voice "Jay? Did you really think I would let you go that easy? You are MINE!" As she says this she lunges toward me and just before she could reach me Susana comes rushing in between us and drop kicked Justina to the ground.
Alex says excitingly 'Lets see what they are both made of. I call Susana though because I know for a fact with Susanas brains and Carolines strength there is no way Justina will win!' I shake my head and reply 'Alex we shouldn't allow this to happen there could be big changes to the ending of this fight'.
I can feel his annoyance but I know I am right. I go up to Susana being on top of Justina holding her down saying "Justina I know this isn't you, please come out of this endless river of pain and jealousy. I know you, Jay knows you. We both love you".
I yell out "Susana, get off of her!" The hurt I see in her eyes almost undid me, I needed to end this NOW. As Susana turns to me Justina stabs her in the heart. The shock in Susana drops me hard on my knees Alex yells out "NOOOOO!!"
Before I could do anything Alex comes out and I shift quicker than before. Everything went black....
Jay Wakes Up
Susana is laying next to me and I am in her hotel room. She wakes up to me jolting and I am sweaty everywhere. She puts her ice cold hand on my bare sweaty chest. As soon as her skin touches mine Alex was going wild inside and was trying to come out to take what is ours.
I hold him back and say "I had a really weird dream.. How did I end up here?" She looks down for a moment like she is conversing with someone. Alex yells in my ear 'You stupid fucker! I don't give a DAMN if you want her or not Caroline is MINE and I want her so stop screwing this up!'
I think in my head to block him out and I don't hear his voice anymore. Savannah is looking at me like she knows what just happened. She slowly gets out of her bed and says "I'm going for a run. You can stay if you like or you could leave.. Whatever floats your boat.
She gets up and leaves and I'm speechless.. Everything I want to say is burning to come out, but for some reason it wouldn't. Alex is yelling out to me to go after her but I grab what self restraint I have and I begin to get dressed. I don't want to leave but my instincts are telling me it's best. Alex on the other isn't very happy but I have learned to block him out.
As I leave I can sense that Savannah is on her way back so I pick up my speed and my heart starts to beat faster as I approach the front entrance. I see her on the other side of the door and she stares at me in a way that kind of broke me inside out. I hold me head up and walk out.
She pretends that I am not there and says softly "Excuse me Sir." She walks in the hotel. I turn to look at her and she keeps walking and doesn't turn around. Alex says pissed 'Look what you did, I don't feel Caroline. I hate you for this..'
All I could do was turn around and walk away in regret. I say more to myself 'What the hell was I thinking?' I know I have a deep connection with her but why do I keep pushing her away?
Before I know it I am in front of my B&B, and for some reason I hate myself. Alex was quiet the whole walk over here. For some reason I feel lonely without him.. Which is insane because I just started hearing him. I may have had some vague dreams that seemed absolutely real... I stop myself because I am in denial. I woke up in her bed for goodness sakes.
It was all real... I am stunned for a moment, and I hear Alex laughing in the background
he says 'What are you trying to be a better man? You already screwed it up..'
