The Wallflower and the Alphas
Chapter 65 " I am such a jerk face."

Elijah P.O.V.

When I was pulling up to my house. I drove in the driveway. I put my baby in the park and shut off the engine. I opened the door and I saw no one was home. I forgot my parents are a way for the second honeymoon they never got to go to their first one because they were under attack. I hoped they were enjoying themself. I didn’t want to think about what they were doing; I made a disgusting face. But I was glad my parents loved each chatter, and I hoped I will have that with Avery soon. I just want this day to be over with and I go see my mate and hug her and kiss her.

I needed her like I needed to breathe. She is my soulmate, and I won’t give her up over my dead body. It’s weird how Sebastian showed up after all these years too. What did he want with Avery, my mate?

I remembered she would try to stay out of his way, and she would be scared when he was near. At the time I didn’t know why she acted like that. But now I saw she was terrified of him every time he was around. She would try to walk faster than me and Seb, and the rest of the goonies I called my friends would follow her and her friends in school halls. Then at the top of that I opened my mind and Jake heard me say something about a bet and he wanted to know so I told him and now we were not talking. God, how can I be so stupid I thought. So, then Jake is angry at me. I don't blame him, I would too. I can’t help thinking about that stupid day two months ago. But I am not going to. I started walking away from my truck and walking up the sidewalk. When I got to my door, I unlocked it and opened it and then I shut it and locked it back up. I walked inside the living room and threw the diner room and through the kitchen. I went to the refrigerator and got water out and I saw a pizza box from my favorite restaurant Pizza Station, and I put it on the counter, got a plastic plate, and got five or six slices of pizza warmed up in the microwave after it was hot enough. I walked out of the kitchen and went up to my room.

After that, I ate my pizza and drank my water and threw the plate away and the bottle of water. I went into the bathroom, did my business and started taking off my clothes and got in the shower. I started pulling the knobs in the shower. I wanted to make sure I felt comfortable with the temperature with the water for me to take a shower.

Oh, man, I released and started washing up and washing my body and hair. It was not hard anymore after what I said tonight. It’s not the time to bust a nut. What I need to do tomorrow is tell Avery the truth. Once I thought about what I was going to start communicating with her. I started repeating what I was going to tell her. See what is best to come out and tell her I made a bet about her.

I growled and hit the wall because I am so angry at myself for making that stupid bet with their assholes in the first place.

“Fuck!” Damn it.” I growled out.

I was thinking back on that day I wished I would have told Matt and his freaking goonies to fuck themself and not made that stupid bet with him. I didn’t know at the time I was going to be alpha no matter what. Even if I lose, they can’t take away my title of the pack. My father told me. So, now I am kicking myself in the ass because I fucked up big time. Now my best friend walked away from me with disappointment in his eyes and now the woman I have been in love with since I was ten years old.

I closed my eyes thinking about her pretty smile when we were younger when she would come up to me and say hi and wanted to be my friend, but I pushed her away and laughed at her. I should never do that to her because now she just gives me a look with pain and hurt in her eyes every time, I am near her because of what I did to her.

I was trying to enjoy my shower, but I couldn’t, so I turned it off and got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my hips. I started combing my wet hair and then I started brushing my teeth.

After I walked out of the bathroom, I went to my bedroom, started walking over to my dresser and got my clothes out and started drying off and put on my boxers and climbed in bed, and started thinking about tomorrow's hold. I do know I need to talk to Jake when I go pick him up first. I got my phone out and looked up Jack's number.

I’ll send him a text before calling him.

“Hey, bro, I am so sorry.” I am going to tell her the truth tomorrow.” I wrote him and checked it to see if he saw it, and he did. I saw the screen with bubbles popping up when someone wrote back to you.

“Fine, but you better not ruin this for me!” I love her and you better tell her the truth.” He wrote.

I sighed and well I saw he doesn’t hate me, that is a good sign.

“Okay, I will, and I won’t ruin our chance with her, okay truth me,” I tell him back what I wrote. I thought with a smile and tomorrow is going to be hard, but I need to do it. She deserved to know the truth.
