Chapter 10: Chapter 8
Emma's POV:
I left after dinner to go home and actually eat. I was starving. My feeding schedule was completely off. We only lived about 15 minutes away from Mila which made me very happy.
"Hey Lance, hey Elisia! How was both your days?" As I made eye contact with them they were both giving me concerned looks. I could feel the concern in my brother.
"Alright spit it out." My brother spoke up first.
"Em are you okay?"
"I'm fine why wouldn't I be?" That's when Elisia chimed in.
"Stop ignoring it. She's your mate!"
"She can't be!" I yelled...
"Em calm down." Lance said.
"I can't just calm down this is all just confusing... You're only supposed to have one mate."
"I'm the one who can see the future. You should just listen to me."
"Oh shut up Elisia." I scoffed angrily. "I don't want to talk about this right now." I turned to walk out the door and I just started running. I stopped in a few minutes realizing where I was... I had went to Milas. I could smell her. She smelled so fucking good. I've never wanted someone so bad. Hmmm she's listen to music. She's so upset and angry.. I'll just calm her down. Once I knew she was asleep I went up to her balcony and I gently picked her up. She's so beautiful. I took out her earphones and tucked her into her bed. She didn't have much in her room. It was so big... but all I saw was a small duffel bag... her and her mom really are running from her father.
Mila woke up gasping for air.. I was in the closet peeking through. She was holding her throat and was in so much pain.. I could see her nightmare... I hate this man so fucking much for what he's done to my Mila. She got up and rinsed herself off trying to wash away the darkness.. I immediately had to make her safe. I wanted so badly to just hold her.., but I couldn't. So I just whispered in her head.
"It's okay. You're safe. I won't let anyone hurt you. Mila.. you are so beautiful. Everything will be okay." I could feel her calm down. As she drifted off asleep I made sure to sit there and control her dreams so nothing bad came through... I was going to be her dream catcher.
Before her alarm went off I ran back to my house. I showered, ate, changed, and was driving back to Mila's I know she didn't sleep well.
"Good morning Mrs- I mean Anita. May I come in?"
"Of course dear come to the kitchen I've made breakfast."
We made nice small talk. She's so sweet. I learned a lot about how her mom immigrated from Cuba to the US.
"Anita. Your mom is so brave. As you are. I see where Mila gets it from now."
"Thank you, dear."
"I was just coming by to pick up Mila for school, and then go pick up Chloe. I know Mila must still be sore and she's on pain medication."
"Of course dear I'll call up for her to hurry then." She yelled for the love of my-- whoa there slow down Em. As I saw her enter the room my mood completely changed. I was so eager to see her I couldn't stop smiling. As I looked at her black eyes I felt so bad... I wish I would have been out there to stop the ball. I hate seeing her hurt. It took a little convincing, but she agreed to one day of me taking her to school.
I was off in my own world thinking about Mila I stayed quiet. Hearing her and Chloe life made me happy. We pulled up and of course Mila dropped her books. She's so cute and clumsy. I hurried over to help her. Of course she would question how cold my hands are.. now I'm going to have to get my coldness checked out, and get that new "medicine." There wasn't really anything wrong with me.. besides the lack of blood and a beating heart. Watching her light up as Chloe called her, her friend was amazing. I wanted to stay and tell her that I was her friend too and that she would never be alone from here on out, but I just continued to walk.
"Okay Em what the hell is going on?!"
"What are you talking about?"
"You and Mila. I can see something there what's up?!"
"Elisia says she's my mate.."
"Wait but what about-"
"Yeah, I know.. I'm so confused.. but the way I'm drawn to her. I have to be next to her. All the time. It's getting harder to stay away from her."
"Why would you stay away from her if she's your mate?"
"Because Chloe... I don't deserve her. I don't want to lose control or hurt her. She's already been through too much, but mostly I feel like I'm betraying Adeline."
"That's bullshit. You deserve love and happiness too. Besides Adeline would want you to be happy and loved."
"No Chloe... I don't. I'll see you in second period."
Milas POV:
"Hey, Chloe! Ready for this wonderful class?"
"Oh yeah AP Calculus.. really just gets my blood pumping!"
"Oh yeah? A real cardiac arithme-tic?" We both laughed at my lame-ass joke.
"Alright students quiet downturn to page 60 let's begin!"
Class dragged on. Math is so boring but hey... at least I'll have college credits already. The bell rang, and I was getting really excited for gym... I know that I'll see her.
"Hey, coach here's my pass."
"Oh yeah, the girl who got blood on my floor. Glad to have you back! Just go sit down on the bleachers."
"Thank you, coach."
I went and I sat down, still anxious to see Emma. She actually showed up on time today.. and god she just looks so beautiful. I've never been more attracted to a person ever than I do her. Every time I see her I just fall deeper into memorization. Her eyes immediately locked on to mine. She smiled and waved. I shyly waved back as I began to blush.
"Hey, your the new kid right? Mila is it?"
"Umm yeah." A dark-haired boy tall and muscular.. was just standing in front of me now.
"How's your nose?"
"It's broke but it's fine. You should see the other guy." He chuckled at my remark.
"Oh, so that's why the ball is flat. That's badass though you took that ball like a champ." He said with a smile on his face, but his eyes were showing mischievousness.
"Umm. Thanks" I replied back feeling so awkward.
"Yeah well, you're pretty hot. Want to-"
"Nah she's good chad keep walking." How the hell did Emma get over to me so fast?!
"I think she can talk for herself, Emma." He said while never taking his eyes off me.
I was anxious from this encounter I just looked to the ground..
"I think that answers it. She doesn't want you or your tiny ass dick! Now step." The boy all of sudden became very guarded and mad.
"What the fuck ever you bitch. Like she wants you either." He stormed off at this point. I was relieved I really didn't want to go out with him... and I didn't like the confrontation..
"You didn't have to speak for me!" I said defensively not letting her know I appreciated it.
"I know. I'm sorry for butting in. I just really hate that guy. He's always trying to sleep with everyone!" I stayed silent as the anger in her voice was almost like a low growl.
"Are you okay?" She immediately stopped staring him down and looked back to me.
"Yes. Are you?" Suddenly her whole demeanor had changed.
"I'm fine. Again I can speak for myself." I said with a little bit more of a snap. She was taken back by this.
"Okay, Mila. I'm going to go run now." She turned and walked away from the bleachers and headed to the gym floor.
After gym I was still kind of irritated that she just spoke for me. So I didn't say anything to her and Chloe I just left and was headed to my next class. AP Spanish. Suddenly I felt a hand grab my wrist it was cold, but I still felt a warmth radiate through my arm... I knew it was Emma. I yanked my wrist away and kept walking I didn't want to look at her right now.
"Hey everything okay Mila?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Chloe." Is all I say before the teacher walks in.
"Ah ahh ahh Only Spanish is allowed in this room!" Mrs. Flores was amazing! She was so fun and energetic, and Chloe is such a liar she is basically fluent in Spanish!
The bell rang but I wasn't upset because my next class I couldn't wait. Photography/journalism! This place was an escape. I can't wait for track and cross country to start in the spring. As soon as I stepped through the door I just felt relief. Like I could be my true self! That's when I noticed her... she was in this class.. what was she doing here.
"Alright, class we have a new student today Am-"
"Just Mila ma'am."
"Ah okay. Mila Valdez. Ms. Valdez, please make your way to the empty seat by Ms. Ambrogio." I gulped nervously as I made mine towards the empty seat next to her.
"Hey Mila! Are you still mad at me?"
"Not really anymore. I just want to focus on class okay?" I turned to face the teacher.
"Alright class a big project worth 80% of your grade! As this is photography and journalism. I want you and your partner to do a small research over something fictional like a vampire, werewolf, witches, ghouls.. and take pictures that you believe represent said fictional character. I'll assign the fictional character to each group. Your partner is the person you share a desk with!" I looked over at Emma and she was smiling.
"Why hello partner." Oh god I'm fucked.. I already like her and now I have to spend free time with her..
"Mila and Emma you have Vampire."
"Okay Ms. Miller!" She seemed to tense up. I wonder why.
"Alright class begin to brainstorm with your partners."
"Alright so all I know about vampires is Twilight, Vampire Diaries, and Vampire Academy." She lightly chuckled
"Hmm well I don't know if Ms. Miller would be okay with just those resources. Maybe we should do some actually research, and then maybe some movie nights along the way." She has this seductive smile as she said that last part.. holy shit. It's going to be so hard.. to concentrate. I barely chocked out.
"S-Sure.." I just started blushing.. and looked away. As I was I caught a glimpse of smile dancing on her perfect lips.
The bell rang time for lunch! She walked me to my locker.
"Do you want to get together this weekend and start our project?" I started to get really nervous.
"Umm sure. I'll let my mom know."
"Great I can't wait." As we started to walk to the cafeteria she kept walking passed.
"Are you not eating with Chloe and I?"
"Umm no im on a special diet.. for Umm sports season.. I have it out in my car." As she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the parking lot...
"well okay then.." I muttered to myself
"Hey Mila! How was 4th?"
"It was just fine. How was it for you?"
"Amazing Latin is such a beautiful language!"
"You're in two different language classes?"
"Of course! It's our senior year! I've got to get as many college credits as I can!" I chucked at that
"Yeah I don't blame you there! I already got a lot from my old school."
"Oh I know. The principal was bragging about having you come here. About how your GPA is immaculate!" I laughed yeah I guess it is...
"So question.. sorry if this is too personal and you don't have to answer it... but I've noticed how you don't like your true first name-" She stopped herself from finishing because I'm sure she saw me starting to panic.
"Oh don't worry I haven't told anyone. Not even Emma and she's my best friend. It's your name you get to choose who you share it with. I just know because I'm your student aid I saw your full name and you do have a perfect transcript!" I slightly smiled, but I was anxious and then all of a sudden I was just angry.
"Yeah I don't want to talk about it." I spit out..
"oh I'm sorry if I upset you."
"No.. it's not you.. I've gotta go I'll see you later.." I hurriedly got up for the table and walked out.
I wasn't paying attention and then bam. I smacked into a solid figure. It was the same guy from gym class.
"Oh I'm so sorry..." oh no... Chad.
"Trying to "hit" on me now Mila?" He said cockily.
"N-No.." I stammered.. he started closing the distant between us causing me to back against a locker his face was inches from mine. I was starting to panic...
"I know you want me Mila... just let me have a taste." I tried turning my face but he grabbed my face hard and shifted it back to his gaze and right when I thought he was about to kiss him he was off of me and I hurt a loud slam and grunting..
