I tell her calmly, both Desmond and gavins head snaps towards me, I could feel the overwhelming sense of love they both felt for me in that moment. But it was true, real love sometimes hurts and if I hurt so he could be happy then so be it. But I know he loves me, I know he wants me and I know even if he met her first he would still choose me.
“Your such a condescending b***h!”
She screams down at me, both gavin and Desmond growl but I see them stop themselves from glaring at her
“f**k you! Miss goody 2 shoes! Always taking the f*****g high road and making the rest of us look bad!”
She shouts
“f**k it’s not hard to make her look bad”
Hope snaps inside, I silently agree but I keep my eyes on her the entire time
“Well I don’t care anymore, I’m going to jump unless he agrees to come home with us now!”
I shake my head
“That’s up to him, not me”
I answer looking to gavin, he frowns at me in confusion
“Play along until Carly gets her down”
I link both boys at the same time, he nods gently looking up
“I’m sorry your hurting hadley, I really am”
“No your not! If you were sorry you would come home with me! I’m done! I’m jumping”
She takes a step towards the edge and the entire crowd gasps in fear, my entire body goes ridget as a rush of terror flows straight through my body. Fear I’d never see her alive again, crippling me to the very core.
Even hope stops as the world around me fades out, all I can hear is her heartbeat and gavins, all I can see is her feet as she steps closer to the edge. Fear so potent it consumes me, my heart breaking
“WAIT! Wait wait! I’ll go! I’ll go! I promise I’ll go just please don’t jump!”
Gavin shouts up, Desmond comes to my side, holding onto me as my legs go weak. My chest was tight as I watch him step closer to the building.
“Please don’t get annoyed but I’m playing along”
He links both me and Desmond, I was so focused on my sister I couldn’t even reply, I didn’t care what he said, I just wanted her down from there.
“Your lying! Your just f*****g lying!”
She screams, taking another step closer, she was now looking down at us directly, one wrong move and she would be gone. I understand now why they said they can’t save her, if she even jumped a little she would fall. This had to happen this way.
“He’s not! HES NOT LYING! I can feel how afraid he is, I’ll take him as my mate and you can have him too baby, please I promise he can come home with us, you can mark him”
Tate shouts up, her face turns to him, her chin wobbling
“Really? You would do that for me?”
He nod
“I’d do anything for you baby, I’d burn down the world for you, you know that. I’ll take him as my mate and you can have him. I promise, just let Carly come get you”
She shakes her head
“I believe you but I don’t believe him”
She answers pointing at gavin
“No I’m in, I’ll go with you, I’ll not mark them, I’ll let you mark me instead”
“No your lying”
By now I didn’t give a rats ass what he said as long as she lived to see another day
“I’m not, I promise you. You can come down and mark me and we can leave with Tate tonight. We can go home and we can be together”
“How do I know your telling the truth, what if your lying?”
“Forgive me”
He links us, Desmond’s grip on me tightens in terror, gavin turns slowly mouthing ‘I’m sorry’ before he grabs Tate and yanks him towards him and he slams his lips against a very shocked tate.
As their lips touch, both Desmond and I fall forward as the pain spreads through our chest like a cancer, resisting the urge to scream I bite down on my lip, blood pools in my mouth as my heart shatters, the pain of him being unfaithful filling my soul.
I know he had to do it, I know he had no choice but it doesn’t make the pain any less bearable. Tate pushes him away and I could see the pure disgust on his face, the shock and horror but I could also see understanding. To my surprise he takes gavins hand and he looks up
“See, he’s telling the truth baby and so am I”
To my surprise her face doesn’t fall, she doesn’t laugh in happiness or even look excited.what she did was much much worse. She turns to look at me, and her face splits into a conniving demonic triumphant grin. Like a huge f**k you, I stole your mate.
She’s not sorry or sad for me, she’s happy I’m in pain. She wants me in pain and for the first time ever I feel like I see my sister with full 20/20 vision. I see she doesn’t love me or even like me. I can see if I was on that edge she would let me jump. And that hurt more than any betrayal by either boys. I may hate her but just like me, I thought she loved me like I loved her.
I feel like pins of acid poke at my heart, stabbing it in pain as tears brim in the corner of my eyes. My world falling apart and landing back in a muddled up place. A place without a twin.
“Ok, I’ll come down”
She says, stepping back a few steps, as she goes the crowd sigh in relief, Carly and Carter disappear and reappear up beside her as Tate yanks his hand free from gavins
“All your f*****g fault you sick son of a b***h! I take it that was all lies considering your already marked?”
“Ofcourse it was a f*****g lie! I despise you, I won’t be spending any time with you ever!”
“So what I go home and you lie to her so tomorrow I wake up and she’s cut her f*****g wrists cause your not with us!”
Tate growls, gavin snorts
“That’s your damn problem, I don’t care, I got her off the damn roof, she’s your responsibility now!”
He answers, turning to walk towards us just as Carly and Carter appear with a smiling hadley, she runs straight at gavin, I refuse to growl at her, I refuse to give her the attention she wants.
