Chapter 4

Elio

I couldn't believe that I was doing something like this. I know that Christopher would be seriously pissed off if he realized that I was accepting a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, but I also couldn't bring myself to give a damn. He is the one who pushed her away from himself. He is the one who broke her heart and made her feel like she wasn't good enough for him. I'm not going to just give up on her because he wants to give me an attitude and tell me that he still deserves to be with her.

He doesn't. he really doesn't. I don't know how it is possible that he should even have another chance with her. He doesn't deserve what kind of beautiful person she is. She tried to do everything in her power to show him how much he meant to her, but he tossed her aside like she never even mattered. I don't know what's the truth behind what he has said but I wouldn't believe it. It doesn't make any sense and I will a hundred percent make sure that he knows that I feel that way as well. I couldn't believe what he has done, and I don't want to even imagine what might have happened if he just allowed something to happen like that again.

I couldn't forgive him for what he has done, and I don't think that she should forgive him either. I think that she should just tell him to fuck off and be done with it. I mean honestly, what's the worst thing that could actually happen. I don't know how I feel about it, but I know that I'm not going to let Christopher win this time. He lost her for a reason, and I'm not going to just sit back and allow him to have her. I'm not going to let him touch her. I'm not going to let him be anywhere near her.

I'm not the nicest person when it comes down to it and I know what I want. I know what I need and I'm sure as hell not going to let Christopher stand in my way. I have noticed how Jianna IS looking at me with interest, as if she is trying to decide if she should give me a chance or not. I worry that maybe I might have made a bigger deal out of this than it had to be. I know for a fact that I couldn't let this happen the way that it has but I do know that the only thing that I can do is make sure that she's going to be okay. I know that I just need to ask her to be my mate and everything, I would be the most suitable.

I am a warrior after all, and I have been through a lot already in my life. I know what it is like to be cast aside like you never meant anything to that person and my heart reaches out to her. I know what happens to someone when we are cast aside because we feel like we have never mattered. I mean honestly, what's the worst thing that could end up happening? I'm not even a hundred percent certain at this point and I know for a fact that I can't allow it to happen the way that it has.

"I don't know why you're saying this to me." She murmurs softly, tilting her head to the side, "Christopher is technically your brother and I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate you coming onto his ex-girlfriend. As much as I would love to piss him off for what he did to me, I'm not going to allow myself to get dragged into that mess. I know that he would get very pissed off and then he would never let me live it down."

"What does it matter what he says when it is obvious that you don't feel anything for him anymore?" I ask her a bit curiously, raising my eyebrow at her, "it is pretty obvious that you do not harbor feelings towards him anymore. I mean, you just told him already that you don't want anything to do with him in that way and I'm afraid that you probably already hurt his feelings to the point he might not be able to live without you."

She just grits her teeth and gives me a look that tells me to shut it, "I understand that you might THINK that way but I'm not going to put up with that in a sense. I know what I have been through, and you don't know me. You don't know what I have dealt with after he broke up with me. He hurt me a lot and I have every right to tell him where to stick it because he's not someone that I can just forgive. He didn't even give me a real answer to what happened, he just kept making excuses after excuses and I'm not putting up with it. I'm sure you understand."

I just smile because I know this is bugging her a little bit, "oh yes, I do understand completely. I know how you two feel about each other and I'm afraid to say that this is probably going to turn around and do more damage that what it is worth. I just hope that you know what you're doing because I'm afraid this might do you more bad than good."

"And what do you think I should do then?" She asks me curiously, raising an eyebrow, "if you are such an expert on the situation."

I think long and hard about it, tilting my head to the side, "Honestly, I'm not even sure about that but I do know that you should go on a date with me."

She looks a little nervous, her jaw-dropping, "what?"

"I'm asking you to go on a date with me," I repeat myself, wondering what was so hard about that.

She didn't look too sure, staring at me like I had just grown another head. I'm sure she is debating on what she's going to say to me, probably wondering if she should reject me. I mean, of course, I understand if she does, but I know she will regret it. I'm sure she is thinking the same thing as she looks at me, her lips slightly pursed. I don't know what to believe what I do know where I'm going to let this go. I know that I need to do something about her, but I know I can't have Christopher standing in my way. He can't know or I know he will try to push me away from her and I won't allow it.
