AMERY

I stared at my puffy and swollen eyes through the mirror that was hung on the wall of the female restroom. I turned on the faucet and splashed a considerable amount of water on my face to mask out the fact that I was crying. I shouldn't be crying but then I couldn't help it.

Levi had almost wolfed out and if I hadn't stopped him when I did then who knows what might've happened to Sean and those boys. Why does disaster follow me around like a second skin. Each time I try to run away, I'm sucked back into this deep void of pain that I just couldn't understand.

First it was Asher, then Quincy and now Levi. Why did they have to come here of all places? Just why did they have to show themselves here? Their presence was making me uneasy and I just couldn't fight the rush of emotions that sizzled through me whenever they

were near.

I glanced at my broken buttons and swallowed deeply. They had almost succeeded in having their way with me. What if Levi wasn't present there? What would I have done? How would I have escaped the situation?

I sucked in a deep breath and pulled the shirt over my body. I did the same with my shorts and threw on a towel over my body. Picking up my discarded clothes. I threw them inside my bag and stepped into the shower.

I let the water Cascade down my skin, enjoying the feel of warmth that embraced me all over my body. When I was done, I came out and picked up my another set of clothes that I had brought with me.

I am about to wear them when Levi barges into the restroom. I froze and held onto my towel tightly, a shocked gasp escaping my lips as my eyes widened in surprise.

"W-What are you doing here?" The words rolled out of my mouth before I could stop them. "You need to leave. Now!" I snorted in anger while he stood there watching me with those expressive eyes. My naive self three weeks ago would've fallen for this but anymore. Every emotion he protrayed when he was next to me was nothing but a facade. He only pretended to be vulnerable because he knew that I would fall for it. Everyone considers me a naive little girl but I wouldn't let it get to me.

"You're not supposed to be here." I chided him. "This is a female restroom and only girls are allowed in here. If you don't want to get into any problem with the school authorities then I'd suggest that you leave the same way you came." I tried to walk past him but he grabbed me by my arm and pushed me backwards so that I couldn't leave.

"Are you okay?" He asked. His words shocking me to the bone. Since when did he care about me? Earlier, he didn't even try to come to my rescue until the last minute and now he wants to act sorry?

"How does that matter to you Levi?" I questioned, the anger and hatred registered on my voice. "You're the last person on earth that should ask me that question considering the fact that you had tried to kill me a million times already."

His jaw ticked and pursed his lips at me. "I'm not trying to give you the special treatment. Neither do I care if you're dead or alive. I just want to know if you're okay."

"And then do what?" I barked at him. "Are you asking that question because you want to kill me yourself? Is that it?"

"Trust me Amery, if I wanted to kill you or rather if killing you was that easy, I would've done so a long time ago."

My breath hitched at his words. And here I was thinking that maybe he had a little ounce of emotion for what he had done to me but again, I was wrong. Levi wasn't the least remorseful about his actions. He never cared. I had thought that the only reason why he followed me here was because he wanted to apologize but then again, that was not the case.

"T-Then why'd you save me back there?"

He laughed. An evil cold laughter that gave me the chills. "Save you? You really think that I did what I did because I wanted to save you? You're still that naive, weak, little lost girl that was stuck in our realm weeks ago. You're just acting tough but in real sense, you're nothing like you protray yourself to be."

I clenched my free hand beside me as I felt the anger building up. "Don't you ever call me weak Levi." I warned sternly. My teeth gritted in rage. "You have no right."

"And what would you do?" He challenged and threw his chin at me defiantly. "I really wished that I would find you dead when I got here. You know what? I even prayed to the goddess that no matter what happens, you shouldn't survive but then you cheated death. You made my life miserable Amery. You took away the only thing I had to my name and my entire existence. You...." His words caught up in his throat when my hands connected with his cheeks. I had hit him so hard that my hands started to hurt from the assault. He slowly brought his face to meet mine and I couldn't help the tears that flooded through my eyes. His words hurt. I didn't know why but it did. It felt like someone was driving a dagger through my chest. I sniffled and I couldn't help my voice breaking down in front of him.

"How dare you Levi?" My voice croaked. My heart broke down piece by piece. The more I tried to stop myself from hurting, it more difficult it became.

I felt so stupid for giving him the benefit of doubt when all he cared about was betraying me over and over again.

Levi rolled his head dramatically and held me by my wrists. I tried to wriggle free but he pushed me to the nearest wall and caged me in.

"You've really grown some nerves haven't you?" He smirked, giving me an animalistic growl. "How amazing. You think because I'm trapped in this excuse of a place that I cannot hurt you? Is that it?" He sounded so lethal, so unapologetic for his actions. "Let me go." I sniveled. "Just let me go?"

"You always think that you're the victim Amery but you're not. The only thing you're capable of doing is ruining people's lives just like you ruined mine." His voice held a note that I couldn't comprehend. Levi was always angry and bitter but this time around, he sounded as if he was hurt. But why?

"I wanted to join those dudes to beat you up to a pulp. I wanted them to even go as far as killing you. Damn!" He banged his wrists on the wall just beside my face and I flinched. "If I had the chance to, I would've even made the process of your torture a swift and memorable but I couldn't and it's not because I didn't want to but because I couldn't. Somehow he wouldn't let me."

He? Who was he referring to? His wolf or is it another being that I didn't know existed?

"Make no mistake Amery. I never regretted that night in the woods and if I could go back in time, I would do it over again with no regrets because I hate you." He spat in blatant rage.

The more he spoke to me, the more my body reacted to our close proximity. It was always like this with Levi. I don't know why it happened but whenever I was next to him, I always seemed to get attracted despite how mean he was to me.

"I promise that I would kill you again." He swore vehemently. "I don't care if I lost anything else after that but I won't stop. I won't stop coming after you till I am certain that you no longer exist in both worlds and that's a promise I intend to keep." He released my wrists and pushed me to the ground. I grazed my hands on the wall and it ended up becoming bruised.

He turned to leave but my words left him rooted on the spot.

"You're not the only one who's hurt Levi." I mumbled in a low but firm voice. "Even I am hurt but still, I would always regret the fact that I met all three of you. I would always regret the fact that I ended up in your realm and for as long as I lived, I will always regret that we all crossed paths."

Without a single word, he gave me one last look before exiting the restroom, leaving me alone to fight my demons as they all presented themselves one after the other.
