All is Fair in Love and War

Kait's POV

It made absolutely no sense that the fight with Shane gave me the burning sensation through my heart. For days it was constant and crippling. I could barely move. It made no sense though, since I had Bryan now. All I knew was I had to make up with Shane. And I had to do it fast.

I followed the imprint to the clearing with the waterfall. I could see him from his side. He had his arms wrapped around his legs while he sat staring at the waterfall. I'm pretty sure I saw a tear glisten halfway down his cheek before he quickly wiped it off.

As quietly as I could, I walked up behind him and placed my hand on his shoulder. He unfroze and looked up at me. I saw the hurt and worry in his eyes. It echoed the hurt and worry in mine. "I don't want you to stay mad at me," He said after a few seconds of eye contact.

"I don't want to stay mad." I replied. "It hurts, hurting the ones you love."

"I know that all too well." The way he looked in my eyes was like all the apologies in the world. "The burning was starting to be unbearable."

"You too, huh? Is that why you were crying?"

"No. I was thinking about how you were feeling. Look, Kaity, I should have been more understanding about the imprint. I know it wasn't your fault and you deserve somebody too. I realized in these past couple of days that I don't want you to be depressed again. I want you to be happy, even if I'm not the one to make you happy."

"Thank you, Shane."

"I love you, Kaity."

I sat down next to him. "I love you too."

We looked into each other's eyes for a second before Shane leaned in. I could tell that we both knew it was wrong, but it happened anyways.

He brought his lips to mine, and I felt the feeling I had whenever I kissed Bryan. We lay down on the soft grass so that he was on top of me. I unbuttoned his shirt and he let it slide off of his strong arms. I let him remove mine before he started kissing down my neck. Only then did the weight of reality hit me. I pushed him away and had my shirt back on in a flash.

I ran away from that place, ignoring his cries of apology. Since when did my life turn into a soap opera episode of As the Mythical Creatures Turn? This was too confusing.

I ran back into my room, tears streaming down my face. I slammed the door shut and slid down it. I began sobbing. I felt a warm hand start rubbing my back. I saw Bryan standing next to me. He knelt down and handed me a teddy bear holding a rose. The gentle gesture made me feel even more like a horrible person.

I finally gathered enough courage to look at his face. Into those blue eyes. "You can tell me anything, you know." He said pulling me into his arms. He had this look on his face that was betrayed, yet comforting; hurt, yet forgiving.

"How much did you see?" I asked, ashamed.

"Enough," He replied. He took a deep breath. "I don't blame you, Kaitlyn."

"You don't?" I replied, taken aback.

"No, I blame the higher power, whatever it is, for making two people imprint on you. I wish I could take away all the pain. I know that you're still working your feelings out, just please, try not to do it again."

"Okay," I laughed. He kissed me on the cheek before getting up and helping me up.

He pulled me into a hug and buried his face in my hair. "I love you." I was no longer confused. I knew where I belonged once again. I belonged in this amazing man's arms.

"I love you too. I love you so much more than I ever loved Shane. That's a promise." It felt great to be able to say that with the utmost confidence in my heart.

Shane's POV:

As she ran from me, I felt a horrible pang of guilt. I had just made her life more confusing than it already was. I had also betrayed Gabby, if she hadn't stopped me, I would have taken Kaity right there. I needed to tell gabby, but first I had to apologize to Kaitlyn for being a total ass.

I took the familiar path to her bedroom door. As I walked up the stairs I smelled Bryan. I was jealous for a short minute until I realized that I already had one, and I couldn't have both girls.

I walked up to the second floor, and I made the trip to the second door on the right. I was about to knock when I heard voices. "Okay," she laughed. I heard a rustle of fabric.

"I love you." I heard Bryan say with so much love in his voice.

"I love you too. I love you so much more than I ever loved Shane. That's a promise." I heard her say. I swear I heard my heart crack into pieces right there. I felt so bad for letting this happen. I felt like an idiot for almost letting myself have her. I felt hurt for thinking I had a chance with her, and I hated Bryan for taking her away from me.

I ran from the Black's house and phased the second I reached the woods. I wouldn't be so nice about Bryan the next time I saw him. Right now I didn't care about the fact that I had Gabriella as well. I would fight for both of my imprints, regardless of how much it would just hurt all of us in the end. I needed her to take back what she said. This was war. And all is fair in love and war.
