New Wolf novel Chapter 67

Nothing

Honestly, I was never a crier, but right now, I feeling like anything could happen. In the beginning, my plan was simple, Don't catch feelings for him. It didn't seem hard at the time even though I kept going back and forth on it. I just thought it was an innocent crush- at least that's what I told myself. My feelings for him had felt too rushed, too quick, and it sent me running.

But with every touch, every glance, every moment, I felt my heart unraveling. And, I knew it. Since the beginning, I knew. But I secretly didn't try to stop it. I wanted it to happen, I wanted him to care... I wanted to fall. What I didn't know was that I would care this much.

I didn't know it would be this strong.

I remember the first time I realize it had gone too far, and I couldn't stop the feelings anymore. It was the day when he took me to the lake- the day we shared our first kiss. I had no idea that day marked the beginning of me entering his world. It was only the twenty-four hours later that Jason stormed into the picture. But that day at the lake was still embedded in my mind forever because it was the day my heart felt again.

"I-I need...can I kiss you?" his breath tickled my lips.

My eyes began to sting at that one phase that sent my heart soaring. When he confessed his feeling for me I was speechless. He'd just met me and he knew nothing about me.

But I told him yes anyway.

I didn't know why at the moment but, I don't think it would have mattered. With him, I was vulnerable, open to anything and everything. Without him, I felt like I was leaning to a place I don't ever want to go back to. The emptiness, the loneliness, the hurt.

They say once you get a taste of something good, you'll never want to give it up. I guess they were right.

"You're the only thing I've been thinking about, Hanna."

"If that's the only way of attracting your interest then I will." he laughed and I turned around and stick my tongue out at him.

"What? You make it sound like you don't appreciate the sight."

"He's not coming for you."

"I won't, make it without you." he held my cheeks and forced me to look at him. My hand slowly reached up and wiped his tears as he spoke. "I love you."

He loves me.

I shook my head, trying to rid away the emotions those memories brought. Sage has become someone I can't live without. That right now was evident. But I can't allow myself to think that he won't wake up. I'm pretty sure he's been through worst before so I shouldn't be so worried.

I thought he was dead. Sage said he was dead. How could he still be here?

I felt the tears streaming down my face and I tried to scream. To my dismay and misfortune, nothing came out. My voice was gone.

I pushed away from him and looked for a way past him. He just laughed at me, as if he knew what I was doing. I slowly began to back away from him, back to the room, but then I saw something on the floor behind him.

I soon regretted walking back towards him because there laid, none other that Sage. There was blood.

Too much blood.

His body was set at an odd angle, and he looked battered. He was dead.

So I screamed.

I shot up in the bed screaming, wanting nothing but to curl into a ball. I felt warms tears rolling down my cheeks, not being able to be held back any longer.
