I patched Wayne up and looked at him hard. He wasn't aware that i knew he had feelings for the leech girl. It made my insides hurt.
The wayne I'd grown up with, tough, strong, yet strangely sensitive, was now fighting for a vampire girl. It made no sense. It was such a disgrace.
BUt I wouldn't rat him out. You bet your ass on it, I wouldn't.
Wayne was still MINE, he still belonged to the pack. I just had to make him see, who was right for him.
"Wayne," I called softly.
"Yeah?" He sighed. He looked exhausted, but it was now or never.
I leaned down, and kissed him. Right there on teh chair, where I'd bandaged him up. Wayne's eyes opened, and the drowsiness that had succombed him disappeared. He pushed me hard away.
'What the hell do you think your doing?" Wayne seethed.
"Wayne, I know about you and the leech girl. You will perish in hell
if you continue to love her. I can offer you the alliance of the pack,
as well as a forever WOLF mate," I stated.
Wayne's eyes were in so much disbelief, and so much disgust, it made me cringe. I always acted outgoing, confident. But I was just as weak as humans on the inside. I watched him pace the room.
"Ronnie...." He used my child hood name.
He said it in a sympathetic tone,and I knew.. he was going to reject me.
I felt it in my core.
"Ronnie, I can't explain it to you. Because I know, someday you will understand. We've been... friends since... forever. But... I've never though of you closer than a sister to me. With MAndella... I...
I did everything, Ronnie. I did. I ignored her, I didn't look at her.
I pushed her so far away, that i thought the connection would break.
But it didn't,' He began. He rubbed the back of his neck.
He was ashamed himself, so ashamed. I just made it worse,
due to selfishness.
"So what do you think can happen? Your both designed exactly to kill each other. Wolves are genetically designed to kill vampires, vampires have the techniques to kill wolves. You want to love the enemy?
Where can you go? Who will except you? Even in the public eye of the humans you are an odd couple. Woman suffer under society, and being a creature of the underworld doesn't help. She will grow tired,and leave you. You will be left with nothing. Only ot grow crazy and old by yourself," I hissed.
It was cold,and brutal. And just when I thought of telling him I understood... my jealousy got the best of me.
Wayne's eyes were exhausted, and he looked so sad.
I wanted to hug him but after what i said... how could I?
"Maybe. But I'd rather spend whatever time I can with her,
then not have her at all," Wayne said firmly.
It was the end. He no longer doubted himself, I no longer had that advantage. I stared at him in disbelief.
"Your a fool," I felt tears brim my eyes.
"Yup. I am," Wayne nodded in agreement.
"I'm right here... I was all this time. BUt you never saw me
the way I wanted.... I don't get it.." my voice became squeaky.
Wayne looked even more saddened. He got up, and hugged me.
"I'm sorry, Ronnie. I really am. But there will be someone out there,
who will see you, like I never could. I promise, okay?" Wayne whispered. I was never going to let him see me weak like this.
I pushed away hard, and he let me. Then I strode out of the room.
Does he think this is over? That I've accepted this? This disgusting relationship of his with a leech? You've guessed wrong, dear friend.
This is just the beginning. I don't care if I go to hell, I'll make sure you never end up with her. I'll make sure Xander wins that fight!
