11. Save It

Kat POV

Throughout our lives people get hurt. Sometimes we do it to others, sometimes we do it to ourselves. On one hand people feel guilty about hurting others, then on the other hand, people find satisfaction of having power over people. The look Hale was giving me made me feel like shit. Complete and utter shit. But at the same time, I liked having the power over him considering what he's put me through.

'Because of me?' His eyes were side, he was hurt.

'You cheated on me Hale' I said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world (which it was).

'You never gave me a chance to explain'

'I don't want to hear it' I snapped

'Then you'll forever be stuck as a petty jealousy bitch' He snapped back. My eyes widened in disbelief...Hale's never talked to me like this.

'What happened here?' I asked

'What are you talking about?'

'What happened with everyone since I've been gone!' I shouted 'You aren't the first person the blame me for going, for turning this whole situation on its head and plastering me as the bad guy' Anger bubbled inside me

'You left after your date with Jamie. You left without a trace. You never contacted anyone. Everyone was looking for you. Then we get told that you've joined the magicians. Gabby was heartbroken! Eddie locked his door! WHEN HAS HE EVER LOCKED HIS DOOR?' Hale's voice boomed against the walls.

'The day my mom died' I whispered 'That was the last time he locked his door' I bit my lip to stop myself from crying.

'Gabby was hysterical. She knew what the locked door meant. That's when she told me about your mother. We all thought you were dead.'

'Who told you I joined the Magicians?' I asked

'There was a note from-'

'Romani' I breathed out. I gave a small chuckled and produced the piece of paper from my pocket. 'Looks like he's glad I'm back now' Hale's eyes flickered to the paper and back to me.

'What does it say?'

'Welcome Home' I answered in a light hearted tone

'We need to find out who he is' His voice determined.

'He clearly doesn't want us to' There was silence between us. Neither one knowing what to say next. Hale had his hands in his suit trouser pockets kicking a few stones around.

'Where are you staying?' He broke the silence

'I'm renting an apartment with-'

'Jamie?' Hale didn't look at me

'He's helping me out'

'How do you know he hasn't been lying to you this whole time?' He looked up at me. I gave a weak smile

'You haven't denied you cheated' It seemed to explain it all. Hale knew that he'd done wrong, he knew he cheated but he never denied nor accepted it. It was just an unanswered question lingering above us.

'It was a mistake'

'Did you ever think about me? We had a date the same day and you told me you were busy'

'I don't know' He whispered 'It was a moment of weakness'

'Weakness?' Anger bubbled in me again 'So our relationship wasn't good enough for you? It wasn't satisfying for you?'

'Kat-'

'Save it Hale. You're getting married, I'm back to my old self. Let's not dwell on the past'

'You're old self? You mean the girl that climbed into my window to steal a painting, invited me to come with her and then left for a normal life'

'Hale-'

'Like you said Kat; Save it' Now Hale was the one that walked through the other end of the alley way and left me standing there feeling like an idiot.
