I hurt. I wanted him to feel the pain I felt when he ripped out my heart and stomped on it. I knew exactly how I was going to do it.   

 

 

Chapter 21: Dakota

 

I enter his room. I felt Dakota’s emotions, pain. My demon senses were on alert after seeing Riley like that. I did care for the girl, she was strong. Powerful, that’s why I wanted so bad to kill her. Dakota, the werewolf, laid on his bed face in his hands. He looks up. He had been crying resonantly. He jumps up and crosses the room in two strides. “How is she? Is she ok? Where is she?” He blurts out all at once. I stare at him calmly. His eyes held so much pain, so much heartbreak. He loved her. “She was in the woods” I say cautiously. Dakota stares at me with narrowed eyes. “In the woods? It’s snowing!” he yelled, clearly in raged. “She was broken, Dakota, she had cuts all over her body from running. She just laid in the fetal position in the snow” I said waiting for his reaction. He made a choking noise. A tear fell from his eye. He wiped it away angrily. “What else, your hiding something” he growled. I choose my words calmly. “She was surrounded by wolves. They were protecting her.” I said. Dakotas eyes got wide and he sat down. He looked so…broken. “I have to go to her” he says standing up. My fists clench into fists. I was surprised at the anger that feel my veins. I block Dakotas way. “You can’t toy with her like that” I growl angrily. He narrows his calculating eyes at me. “What’s she to you?” he says through clenched teeth. I stare back angrily. “A friend, and you didn’t see her I did you tore her apart.” I whispered, suddenly I wanted to punch him. I wanted to punch him because he hurt Riley. Merciful, beautiful, smart Riley. I was surprised at my feelings for her. They were…protective. “You did this, you almost killed her when you told her that. I thought I was a monster, I’m nothing in comparison to you. Riley is smart, merciful, beautiful and you through it away.” I roared at him. He falls to his knees. His head falls and tears fall from his eyes. I feel no remorse for him, he did it to himself. “Don’t you think I know I’m a monster? I don’t deserve her that’s why I had to push her away!” He yelled, at me fiercely. I stare at him. “No, you pushed her away because you’re afraid of feeling something” I say narrowing my eyes. I turn my back on him and stand there a moment. Then I leave out his room. I hear the sobs coming from his room. Anger filled me. He was stupid. Stupid, for letting her go, pushing her away.

 

 

 

 

Chapter 22: Revenge and vodka

 

I knock rapidly on his door he opens with sleepy eyes. “Riley?” the new nephilim asks me. I take a deep breath. Maybe I shouldn’t have come. “I need you to be my fake boyfriend” I say. He laughs, deep and rich. My cheeks turn bright red. “What for?” he asks smiling brightly. “Revenge” I answer true fully. He’s quiet a moment then he nods. “Ok, but I like Rebecca so if I’m pretending to be with you how can I be with her?” He asks I was surprised, she was truly beautiful though. “Ok, I will talk to her so you can meet her when you’re supposed to meet me, as long as it looks like were together.” I say he ponders this a moment then nods. “Thanks Jacob, I appreciate this” I say. I run down the hall to Rebecca’s room. I knock on her door and she answers, fully dressed. “I need a favor” I ask she nods for me to go on. “Do you like Jacob?” I blurt out and her cheeks turn a deep scarlet. “Well I need him to be my fake boyfriend, but instead he can be meeting you in secret as long as everyone thinks he’s going with me.” I blurt out. Rebecca stares, shocked. “Why?” She asks me and pain courses back through my heart. “Dakota broke up with me” I whisper she sucks in a breath. “Oh, honey” she says and pulls me close. She smells like lilies. “And you want revenge?” She asks. I nod into her shirt. I hear Jacob come up behind me. I stand back up and see Jacob smile at Rebecca shyly. “Ok” she says with a smile at Jacob. I leave them alone and go down stairs into the kitchen. I flip on the lights, Nick is sitting at the counter with a bottle of vodka in front of him. Loneliness fills me again. I walk and take the seat across from him. I smile faintly. “Can I have some?” I ask him wearily. He studies me a moment and asks “what happened”. I frown and look down “Dakota” I whisper I see him nod and sit a glass down in front of me. He fills my glass, then his. He picks his up and I pick mine up as well. We clink our glass together. “To life” he says glumly. I chug down my glass and then another. The warm liquid slips down my throat. It temporarily feels the coldness in my heart. I chug more until I’m burning up. “Slowdown” Nick says five glasses later.  An hour later I’m drunk. “I thought he loved me.” I says, voice slurring. Nick listens attentively. “But it was all a lie, he played me just like Sam. I’m so stupid” I say groggily. He shakes his head. “You’re not stupid” he says. I pick up the knife that laid on the counter. I stare at it intently. “I could kill myself right now, no one would care” I say. I feel Nicks intense gaze, but he didn’t take the knife away. “You could, Riley, but I would miss you” he says. I meet his gaze he was being honest. I was nice to have a friend, I thought. I put the knife down. “I gotta go to bed” I say standing clumsily knocking over the empty liquor bottle. I almost fall over, but Nick catches me. He sweeps me up in his arms. I lean my head against his arm and drift into a half sleep state. I hear him stop on the stair case. “What happened?” I hear Dakota yell. Nick tensed. “Well, she was heartbroken so she got drunk and tried to kill herself, because of you” Nick yelled. I heard Dakota flinch at his words. “I’m-I-had” Dakota tried but Nick interrupt him. “Whatever” he says and push past him. Once up the stairs he goes to my room and sets me on my bed. “Goodnight” he whispers. Then I pass out.

 

Chapter:23 The hangover

 

I awaken with a pounding headache. My head felt like it had been split open. I sit up and see tiny cuts and bruises all over my body. I grimace. Dakota had broken up with me. I look around, my gaze leads me to my nightstand. A note and two pills laid next to it. I picked up the note. I’m so sorry…. I instantly thank its Dakota. How could he play me like that? Say that stuff then want me back like it never happened? Then I keep reading and see the name at the bottom. –Nick. It said, then last night’s memories return to me in a hazy blur. Then the tears come, again. After a while I pull myself together and swallow the two pills. I go to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. I looked horrible! My eyes were swollen from crying and I had dark circles under my eyes. My hair, gosh my hair, looked…awful. I yank a brush through it then put it back up. I splash my face with water. It felt so good I decided to get a shower instead. I sit under the shower and let the water pour down on me. It was almost painful, but I the welcomed pain. I cry again, I missed him so much. My heart felt…cold. Lost, numb, and shattered. Eventually I get out and dress back into my pajamas. I craw under my covers again. It was late in the afternoon, but it seems I’m cold. I was cold on the inside. I hear a someone pound on my door, but I ignore it. Then it slowly opens. I hear footsteps cross the room. I hide under the covers. The footsteps stop. “You’re not being a very good fake girlfriend” I hear Jacob say amusingly. I cringe inside, it was stupid of me to ask him to do that. There was no use anyways nothing I say or do will make Dakota love me. Jacob pulls the covers from over my face and sunlight blinds me. Shock appears on his face “You look awful” Jacob says to me. The tears come again and I rip the covers out of his grasps. “No, no I didn’t mean that it’s just I..” He didn’t finish “GET OUT” I scream at him through a waterfall of tears. He doesn’t leave at first, but then he moves soundlessly back out the room. Once he was gone, I regretted making him leave. I cry myself to sleep. When I awaken to a soft knock at my door. I look around dazedly, it was night outside. My door opens and Nick appears in my doorway. I groan and hide back under the covers. “Go away” I say, but stubborn Nick doesn’t.
