Previously on I Don't Want to Love Him, but I Just Do...

Catheryn's POV

• All I had to do was show up to school for a few hours, with my head held high and with no shame. I was a pregnant and single mother. Sure, the people at school will start talking bad about me, but it didn't matter what other people thought, right? I will live my life and not care about what other people think.

• What was that all about? I thought to myself. Why was Ashton acting that way with me? He never acted that way when we were kids. Although, one thing is for sure: he's going to be annoying me for a long time now that he's going to be staying with the Scar's too.

Demi's POV

• My heart started to race as he asked me this question. How was I going to tell him? I couldn't just blurt out, 'Ethan, I have the biggest crush on you, and I wanted to make sure you weren't a criminal!' I thought quickly. "I had nothing better to do, and I was just really curious." Yeah, there we go, that works.

Lyn's POV

• I felt his hand slip away, his eyes never leaving my eyes. As he was about to say something, I suddenly felt a sense of pleasure wash throughout my entire body. A loud moan escaped my mouth as I felt a pair of fangs bite down into my soul vein. I looked down to see that Tom had been the one to bite me.

I Don't Want to Love Him, but I Just Do...

Chapter 14

Stuck

~Catheryn's POV~

The only thing that was keeping me from leaving school right now was the fact that Lyn was trying to win Sebastian back, and she wanted me here just in case things didn't go as planned. Other than being here for my best friend, I would've never shown my face; I don't care how many times I told myself, "It doesn't matter what other people think." The cold hard fact was that, as teenagers, we did care what other people thought of us. It's in our nature, our instincts.

Everything was going pretty well at first. Nobody was looking at me weird or anything. Not that they would be, anyways; it's not like Dominic was going to go and tell everyone that he knocked me up. Nobody knew at this point except for Dom, Lyn, Lyn's parents, and my parents; and it was going to stay that way until, well, I started showing.

I went to my locker and grabbed the supplies I needed, like normal. Just breathe, Cat, everything will be okay. Take things day by day. I breathed in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Hey, Cat!"

I jumped at the sound of my name. I turned around, my heart beating really quickly, only to see that it was Ali who had greeted me, with Liv and Cole right next to her. I tried my breathing exercises again, taking a deep breath in and letting it out slowly. I gave them a small genuine smile. I hadn't seen them in what seemed like forever.

"Hey, guys," I greeted them. I suddenly realized that Cole and Liv were holding hands. I smirked and raised an eyebrow at them. "Are you two, you know, together?"

Liv blushed a deep crimson, and she looked down at the floor, trying to avoid eye contact. Cole just looked down at her with little puppy dog eyes –no pun intended– as if he were head over heels for her, and as if she had him wrapped around her little finger. He placed his arm around her shoulders with a proud smile on his face.

"Yeah, we are," he scooted her closer to him, and she followed his movements without hesitation. Her arm wrapping itself around his waist, her cheeks still blushing a mad red.

"Since when? I didn't know you two had a thing for each other," I couldn't help but smile really widely at this. They were so cute together! Who would've thought? Liv and Cole together.

"Since he saved me from getting eaten by Jandro when he turned into a werewolf and was about to fight Sebastian," she looked up into his eyes, resting her head on his chest.

"Aww! You two are so cute together!" I said, the smile never leaving my face. I looked over at Ali. "So where's your man, Adam?"

Ali frowned. "Adam? I have no idea. He left to go help Lyn with Sebastian or something like that and I haven't seen him since. He hasn't given me a call or texted me or anything. I've left him more than twenty voice mails and text messages. I'm worried sick, and it's as if he doesn't care..."

I started to become furious. "Wait, what? You want me to go find him and drag him over here? He'll learn his lesson!"

Ali's eyes widened when I said this, but all she did was shake her head. "Nah, let him do whatever he wants. Once he comes back, he'll know what he's going to be getting." As soon as she finished her statement, she suddenly started looking around as if there was something missing.

"Uh, are you okay, Ali?" I asked her still confused on why she was looking for something.

"Where's Dom? Did you two make up after, you know, what happened in the cafeteria?"

That sudden dread crawled over my entire being once again. For one little minute, sixty seconds, I forgot about him. I was actually smiling, having a good time with my friends. It wasn't Ali's fault that she brought him up, but I still wish she hadn't. The scars Dominic created were still open and fresh and were definitely not going to mend themselves any time soon.

"Um..." I tried to hold back the tears.

Before I could say anything else, Liv spoke up. "Hey, speaking of Dom, what's he doing over there with another girl?"

My heart shattered at these words Liv suddenly said. Dom? My Dom? With another girl? My subconscious started to tell me that Dom wasn't mine anymore, but I ignored it. It's only been two days since our little conversation. He was still mine in my heart no matter how much I wanted to hate him. I just couldn't hate him. He was the father of my child. We both created this living creature that was growing inside of me. Whether he stayed with me or left me, he was the man that I dreamed of marrying and creating a family with. Too bad he broke that lost dream...

I looked over to see what Liv had seen. God, do I wish I hadn't looked. Why did I have to look?

Something inside of me burst into flames. I wasn't me anymore. I didn't know whether I was jealous or angry or even both, but whatever emotion I was feeling at the moment was controlling my entire being. I didn't remember how my legs walked me over to them without my permission, but there I was, standing right in front of that girl who was leaning up against the lockers while Dominic was leaning in towards her with his arm resting on the lockers right above her head, a smirk plastered on both their faces as they were obviously flirting with each other.

"Dominic, what is this?" I interrupted their conversation; my voice was being controlled by this raging fire inside of me as well. Why was I making a scene? Why couldn't I control myself anymore?

"I... uh, Cat, you see..." he stuttered, trying to explain himself.

"I thought you said that you two were broken up?" the girl gave Dominic a nasty look. She didn't even wait for his answer before she scoffed. "Whatever, I'm tired of all these popular boys playing with me," she looked at me with an apologetic look and apologized to me before she walked away.

Dominic didn't give me enough time to act surprise from that girl apologizing to me as he started yelling at me: "Catheryn! What was that all about? We ARE broken up! I thought we settled this back at your house?!"

The embarrassment overtook me. I tried to get control of my body before the flames inside of me did, but the flames were just too powerful; the anger and jealousy was just too powerful. Here I was in front of the person I was trying to avoid completely. The worse of the situation was that I actually confronted him and showed him how jealous I was. Nice going, Cat... I cursed at myself.

Once he realized that I wasn't going to answer back, he seemed to calm down. His facial features softening up as he realized he was screaming at me. He sighed deeply.

"Cat," what he did next surprised the hell out of me. He hugged me tightly, my face digging into his muscular chest as I suddenly just began to sob. He started stroking my hair and kissing the top of my head as I continued to cry. "I still love you, Cat," he whispered in my ear, "but... I'm just not ready for this responsibility."

I suddenly stopped crying and realized what I was doing. I got out from Dominic's embrace and I slapped him across the face as hard as I could. Damn, that felt good.

"Why don't you do me a favor, Dom?" I wiped the tears away. "Stop repeating the same crap over again. I get it! You don't want anything to do with your child! If you loved me, you would stay and take responsibility! So don't come to me with that 'I still love you' bull shit!"

I was screaming louder than I should have been. A whole crowd of people were encircling us by now, whispering to each other and chuckling here and there. This was the part where I started to not give a damn anymore. I turned around to face the audience that had come to see the show.

"Yeah, you heard right, Mystery High! I'm pregnant! With Dominic's child! And guess what? He's leaving me because 'it's too much responsibility'!" I mocked the way he had said that sentence to me I don't know how many times.

I started to hear even more whispers. Repeated phrases such as, "What a jerk." and "Oh, my God, poor Catheryn."

My work here was done. I turned back around to make sure Dominic could see the smirk of accomplishment I had plastered on my face. As soon as I saw shame come across his visage, I left it at that. Dominic, you are out of my life for good now. I can take care of this child myself.

~Lyn's POV~

This sensation of extreme pleasure was still wildly going through my body as I locked my vision on Sebastian almost killing Tom. The plan had worked... Sebastian realized that he did love me, and he was knocked out of the love potion Monica gave him. But... Tom, ruining the plan, made us fated to each other. What do I do now?

A few months ago, I probably would've been the happiest person in the world to have gotten Tom back, but now... My eyes were on Sebastian, and I couldn't even be with him anymore. It's as if every time we got through one obstacle, there's another one just waiting for us to get caught in.

Although, this obstacle was different. We were never going to get through this obstacle. I was never going to be able to be with Sebastian, ever. My entire being belonged to Tom now, and I couldn't do anything about it.

I looked down at my soul vein as I was sitting on the ground now, my legs completely numb, tears forming in my eyes. The two little fang marks that Tom left were glowing a bright gold now. The universe now has us tied together forever.

"Sebastian, man," I looked up to see Freddie trying to get Sebastian off of Tom. "You're going to kill him. You can't do anything now. Lyn's all Tom's now."

Sebastian stopped punching Tom now. I could tell from his shut eyes that he was still trying to register that concept. That this was irreversible. He threw a very bloody Tom to the side.

"You're going to pay for this," he hissed at Tom, with as venom in his voice as possible, pointing at him. "I'm going to get Lyn back."

Tom gave him an evil smirk and spit some black blood out from his mouth, chuckling. "I'd like to see you try."

Sebastian looked towards me right at that moment. His eyes turning soft as he saw that I was sobbing violently now. He walked towards me, and he helped me up from the floor. I couldn't stand up because my legs still didn't have feeling in them; the rest of my body almost controlling itself as it leaned itself against Sebastian without my permission. Once the soul vein was bitten, a vampire stayed aroused until the arousal was fulfilled.

"S-Sebastian," my tears started to stream down into Sebastian's hands as he had both of them resting on my cheeks, pulling my face up so I could look directly into his eyes, "I didn't plan this... I want to be with you, not Tom... but we can't fix this. I'm fated to be with Tom now..."

"Hey, hey hey," he wiped a tear away with his thumb, "I'm going to fix this one way or another. No matter what the universe say, we're going to be together," his face started to get closer to mine. He whispered in my ear very softly, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, "remember, you haven't bitten his soul vein yet."

He kissed the top of my forehead. His emerald green eyes looked directly into my dark chocolate eyes, making sure I listened to every word he was going to say to me. "Lyn, whatever you do don't..." he paused biting down on his lip, trying to control his anger, "don't sleep with him," he forced himself to say. "Force yourself not to find his soul vein. I know it's going to be hard, but try to control it, you hear me?"

I nodded my head, looking down at his lips, wanting to kiss him so badly, but the laws of the universe would shame me and punish me for doing something like that now that I was fated to be with someone else.

As Sebastian let go of my cheeks and kissed me on my forehead again, I suddenly saw someone running out the door. I looked to the stands and see that Monica was no longer sitting there anymore. I ran after her; she wasn't going to get away with this. She deserved to be sent to prison for creating illegal potions such as a love potion. But as soon as I ran out the doors, she was nowhere to be found. I cursed under my breath. I knew that wasn't going to be the last of her, though.

I went back inside the gym to see that it was empty now besides Tom, who had gotten up from the floor and his wounds seemed to be already starting to heal. It looked like the bell rung. Sebastian didn't stay behind... Of course he's not going to, Lyn; you're supposed to be with Tom now.

I looked up at Tom and gave him the dirtiest look I could muster. "You asshole! How could you do this?! I thought you were helping me with Sebastian!" I pushed him as hard as I could.

He grabbed onto my arms and pulled me towards him. I fought him as much as I could, but he was too strong for me. I gave in as soon as my arms couldn't take it anymore. He kept one hand on my waist and the other on my soul vein, which was still glowing gold from his bite. He looked straight into my eyes and I looked straight into his with all the hatred I could give him.

He suddenly leaned closer and he crashed his lips onto mine. I started fighting him again, but soon it started to feel... right... I couldn't stop; I continued to kiss him back as passionately as he was kissing me. He helped me wrap my legs around his waist as we continued to kiss. His lips were so familiar, so soft, so right...

The hand that he had positioned on my waist was now on my posterior, while he kept the other hand caressing my soul vein. He started walking towards the dressing room, not once interrupting our kissing.

He began to place his hand on the bottom of my shirt starting to slide it up when I suddenly felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I continued to kiss Tom nonetheless, but the vibration of my phone brought me back to my senses.

Lyn, whatever you do don't... don't sleep with him. Force yourself not to find his soul vein. I know it's going to be hard, but try to control it, you hear me?

I heard Sebastian's voice in my head. This got me to finally stop. I stopped kissing Tom and I united all the force within me to push Tom off of me. My feet were on the floor now; my body free from Tom's arms. Self-control is all it takes, I smiled proudly to myself.

"What's wrong?" Tom asked, obviously frustrated that I stopped.

"I don't want to be with you, Tom, don't you get it? The soul vein increased my hormones times one hundred," I hissed at him, "I want to be with Sebastian," I confirmed.

He gave me this look of extreme anger. "Don't you see that it's impossible for you to be with him now, Lyn? I bit your soul vein; therefore, we're meant to be together."

"Nothing's impossible," I left without another word, taking out my phone from my pocket.

I was surprised he didn't come after me, but I thanked God that he didn't. I looked down at the text message that I had received; it was from Demi. "In the hospital. Everything's okay, though. Don't freak."

Like hell I wasn't going to freak! I raced towards the hospital as fast as I could.
