The Wallflower and the Alphas
Chapter 18 " The Waterfall"

Avery P.O.V

I had to get out of there before I did something stupid, like crying in front of him and everybody in the classroom. So, I started walking toward the big rock by the waterfall. I sat down on the huge rock by the waterfall I had liked to go to since I was little. It had been a while since I had been here. I was sitting there crying my eyes out and thinking about him. I couldn't believe he had been a jerk and man-whore.

Well, I should have known he would never stay with one woman. He would always be a player and wanted to play girl's heart. He didn't care who he hurt. Right now, I could feel tears coming on because he did hurt someone. That person was me. So, I knew he would never change. I sighed. He will never change. I shook my head. I started wiping my tears off my face.

"I am an idiot!" I said out loud.

"Hey! Now! You're not idiot Ave" she told me.

"I don't know," I told her when I shrugged my shoulders.

"Oh, now. "She said with a giggle.

"You never know?" Angelstar said in the back of my mind.

"He could change," Angelstar said.

"Have faith, Avery," She said with her wolfie smile. I could see her in the back of my mind.

I wanted to tell her I wanted to believe her. But I knew it would hurt her feelings if I lied to her. So, instead of saying no. I just nodded my head with a yes.

I couldn't believe I let him get to me. I thought I wasn't going to care about what he was doing. Well, I lied, okay, I told myself. I had a lot to worry about than thinking about what Elijah Woods was doing and who was doing it.

I had been busy with my family. I had been training with them. So, I will repair it next time. I get in a war. I will be ready when that day comes. But it's nice to relax and enjoy being a teenager now that the training is on hold. My parents are great teachers. I watch them fight and train the others. Watching how my parents are so good at what they do in training is neat. They will be challenging at times, like making me run laps.

I felt that afterward. Oh boy. Basically, I was hurting. So, I was sitting on the big rock and thinking about what would happen once I returned to the real world. After the day I had. I just wanted to go home, go to bed, and not think about the day.

I wanted to forget what happened. So, that is why I am here watching the water go over the fall. I took a deep breath and could smell the beautiful water in the air. Always go here when I am sad or scared. It helped me to relax and not have bad thoughts. When I was here, I felt at home. I felt safe. I didn't know why I liked it here. I've always wanted it here since I was six years old.

I was in my own thought when I heard a crack behind me. I gasped and looked behind me. I didn't hear anything. So, I turned back around to watch the waterfall. I was sitting there. Then I heard whispers and mumbled behind me.

"Shh shut up. She is going to hear us, Jake!" Someone said behind me.

I jerked straight up, and the hair on my arms stood up. I knew I heard someone see behind me. Because I listened to a name that made me shiver. I needed to get out of here before they found me. By the time I was getting off the rock and leaving. I saw two shadows come out of the trees.

"Hey, Avery!" I heard a deep voice I recognized, interrupting my thought behind me. I gasped, turned my head, and saw Jake Stone and Elijah Woods! Why was he here? I thought he was with Sabrina, Emilia, or Amelia. Not out here where I was out in the woods by myself. Then I saw Jake Stone staring at me. I swallowed nervously because I felt very weird and wondered what they wanted.

So, I wanted to avoid looking at them, so I looked down and spoke. I knew my cheeks were red. But I didn't want them to know they made me feel nervous. So, I picked up my head and stared into their eyes.

I gasped and was lost in my thought because of how they were staring at me. But I knew I needed to snap out of it. So, I did. Stop thinking about them being handsome and gorgeous right now.

You need to get to the bottom of this. And see why they are out here looking for you. Most important, why is Elijah Woods out here and not with them bimbo's bitches. So, I cleared my throat and asked them with my head held high. So I did, and telling them how I felt good.

"Jake! Elijah, why are you doing out here?" I asked them nervously when I bit inside my mouth. I did that when I was nervous.

"I can understand with your out here, Jake Stone," I told him when I pointed at him. "But not you," I pointed at Elijah Woods.

They looked at me nervously like they knew something I didn't. So, my body wanted to stay and see what would happen, but my brain was telling me to flee and leave. Get as far away from them as I can. But my body won. I wanted to know what they wanted and what they would say. I saw Jake Stone and Elijah Woods look at each other, and it was like they were communicating inside their minds. I saw a light shine, hitting Elijah and Jake's eyes. I saw they were talking to their wolves. Oh, boy, I wonder what they say to each other and their wolves.

So, it was a good idea to interrupt them and say something.

"So, why are you out here, and why are you following me?" I asked them with a demanding tone when I told them.

"Well, you see," He was changing the subject. "We wanted to know if you okay. That all. Now we know you're fine. We're just going to go! Right, man?" Jake Stone bumped Elijah's shoulder. He was trying to get Elijah Woods to leave. But he wasn't; everybody thought Elijah Woods was a good guy. But what they didn't know about him was far from the truth. Well, Because of how he treated me, it hurt when he treated me like I was something under his shoe.

He told me I was nothing.

He said I was not good enough, even the dirt on the bottom of his shoes. This was our Alpha, the good guy! I thought mocking people worshipped him.

But what I wanted to tell them to leave and get away from me. I didn't need you to check on me. But instead, I told them.

"Thanks." in a soft tone. They made me feel something I can't explain and understand right now. All I knew was I didn't want to be away from them. Why was that?

I tried to ask Angelstar, but she wasn't listening to me. Then I asked the voice.

You may know. And the voice didn't say anything to me either. Okay.

I came back out of my mind, and now I am here in front of them. Wondering if it is their sick trick and finish me off and really get me to hurt myself.

So, because I will, I can't take this anymore of the bullying, teasing, and just hateful feelings told me. I want it to stop! I want to be beautiful and popular. They won't hurt me and want to be nicer towards me if I wasn't a loser.

"Avery!" I didn't hear my name. I wondered if I was different and if they treated me well and liked me.

That was when I started feeling my chest started closing in. My throat was tight, and I couldn't breathe. My breathing was ragged, but it was there. I felt Elijah and Jake coming closer, and I could not move. I gasped when I felt one of their hands lay on my shoulder, and I felt him on my left side. Then I felt another hand wrapped around my waist, and I felt him on my right side. I was sandwiched between them.

I nearly lost it when I felt Jake and Elijah on my body.

I felt their lips on my ears. I started breathing fast, knowing my heart was beating inside my chest. That was when I felt weak in my knees and didn't understand why I felt sleepy. I try to keep my balance and my eyes open. But I couldn't because I knew my panic attack was coming.

But when they touched my shoulders and had their lips on my ear. I felt my body getting hot. I felt my chest was on fire. There was no panic attack. It was gone. But I was wrong.

Oh, God, it's coming back again. I started struggling and stumbling, and before I knew it. I was going down, and I was going to hit the ground. Oh, God, I knew I was going to hit hard. So, I waited to hit the ground. But before I hit the ground. I didn't feel pain. I felt strong arms wrapped around me. I opened my eyes with a gasp.

I saw Elijah Woods and Jake Stone get me in their arms. I just wanted to die! Because me the plain Jane wallflower nerd in school in the arms of the most popular guys in our school. They were staring at me with concern in their eyes. I didn't understand why?

Why did they want to be around me or anything holding me in their arms? I didn't have a good feeling about this. It felt good, but at the same time, it felt wrong. But if this feels wrong, I didn't want it to feel right. I thought in my mind with my fast-racing heart.
