Chapter 4
Selene POV.
"Okay guys an unexpected." I said ." And unwanted." I said ever so softly and Lo shot me a death glare. "Surprise came to celebrate my birthday. " I said pointing at Erik. "And he brought me presents." I smiled and everyone clapped.
"Here you are." Erik said handing me six boxes. I opened all of them. I got a sweater from England, a gold dress, blue diamond earrings, a blue tooth for my phone, lip gloss from Paris, a necklace that said Always and forever in it and one that said Selene. "Oh and I forgot this one." He said reaching into his pocket and pulling out a blue box. He handed it to me and our fingers brushed I held my hand against his for a little while then I let it drop. What are you doing Selene I said to myself. I opened it. It was the Kidney of the sea from Titanic. It had sixteen white diamonds around a giant blue one. It was hanging on a stunning silver chain.
"Erik I-." I said but he cut me off.
"Like it?" He asked me and I nodded. "I got it when I went to England I had people dive for months until they found it." He said smiling at the accomplishment.
"Thanks. I really love it." I said.
"Wanna dance?" He asked me.
"What could it hurt." I said and he lead me to where everyone else was dancing. He held me so close to him.
"Thanks for dancing with me." He said.
"Your welcome. Plus I think I owe you for all the amazing gifts you bought me." I smiled up at him.
"You could never owe me anything." He said looking into my eyes. I felt myself getting lost in his big dark blue eyes that were as blue as the ocean at night. "Are you happy?" He asked me.
"Happy?" I said like a dumb fool.
"Yes S are you happy?" He said stifling a laugh.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I asked him. I felt all sort of emotions flowing through my body at the moment and I had no clue what they meant.
"No reason." He said looking away from my gaze.
"Are you happy Erik?" I asked him because I could tell something was wrong.
"If your happy I'm happy." He said. I made him look at me face to face and into my eyes. He was telling the truth if I was happy he'd be happy to.
"Why?" I asked. Why did he care about me being happy? Why did he care period? I mean I didn't care for him anymore. He could die right now and I would feel absolutely nothing.
"Promise not to tell?" He said his voice was so low and soft.
"Promise." I said.
"I love you that's why." He said. I stayed quiet and rested my head on his shoulder.
"I wish you didn't" I said when the song was over. "Jase." I called and went to dance with Jacen.
Erik POV.
"I wish you didn't." Selene said. "Jase." She called and walked over to the guy who I was guessing was Jacen. I pulled a piece of paper out of my pocket, I had forgotten to give it to Selene. It was a poem I had written.
"What cha looking at bro?" Lo said scaring the crap outta me.
"Nothing." I said.
"You look so sad." She said. I glanced over at Selene who was now dancing with her soul mate. "Oh I see, a little bit jealous." Lo said.
"Nope." I said walking out of the building.
Selene POV.
The evening was wrapping up very nicely. Everyone came over to Jacen and I. They said the final happy birthday wishes and good nights before they left the room. When everyone was gone Jacen leaned down and kissed me. "Happy Valentines Day." He said when we pulled apart. I looked up at the clock and it was midnight officially Valentines Day.
"Happy Valentines Day." I smiled up at him and went in for another kiss.
"Selene can we talk." I heard someone say but I didn't quite pull away from Jacen yet.
"Mmmmmmmm." I said against Jacen's lips.
"Alone." The person said sounding upset so I let go of Jacen.
"We'll talk later." He said then let me out of his grip. "Bye Erik it was nice to meet you." Jacen smiled at Erik and then left. He was such a good guy. Even though he knew about Erik he could still be nice to him.
"Whatever." Erik said after Jacen had already left.
"Whats your goddess damn problem Erik?" I yelled.
"Him." He yelled back at me.
"He hasn't done anything to you, you damn moron." I shouted really loudly.
"He has you." Erik yelled and I stood frozen. "He has the only thing I have ever wanted in life. The only thing I love in life." He said walking closer to me. "The only thing I have to live for." He said now standing in front of me.
"I'm not a prize that can be won Erik and you have Lo to live for and love." I said. He grabbed my face in his hands and kissed me. I felt everything he had go from his body into mine. I pulled away and slapped him extra hard. "What the hell are you doing Erik?" I said. "If you haven't noticed in three days I am getting bound to my soul mate. My soul will become one with Jacen's." I yelled and Erik looked so hurt. "Forever." I added.
"No." Erik said
"Yes." I said with venom in my words. There was so much venom that my words could kill.
"Here." Erik handed me a piece of paper. I walked right by him and up the stairs to Lo and Kay's room. I opened the door with out even knocking.
"You did this to him." I said looking at Lo.
"What did I do and who did I do it to?" She asked me looking completely helpless.
"To Erik Lo." I said.
"What did I do to him?" She asked.
"You told him not to give up on me. You set him up for heart break Lotus not me. He's hurting downstairs because of you not me. I told you I found myself and I didn't see myself with Erik and you just had to push so damn hard. Didn't you?" I yelled at Lo and she was looking like she was about to cry.
"Sel chill." Kaylee said but I gave her a look that made her sit back down and zip lock her mouth shut.
"You are not mother nature the one who loves and cares for every living, breathing thing on this planet." I said spitting the words at her. "You can't even care for you own brother. Your letting him get hurt and you don't care." I said coldly.
"I do care." She said through her tears.
"No you don't and you know why you don't?" I asked her. "Because if you did you would have seen one year ago that I didn't love Erik." I said. "I will never look at you in the same light again Lotus Flow. You will never be my best friend or sister again. You will be nothing to me." I said. "If you didn't get the point your not my bonds maid of honor." I added.
"Sel please." She sobbed.
"Good bye." I said walking out and slamming the door. I walked into my room and Zoey was sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes. "Z whats wrong?" I asked her. I went to sit beside her and she moved away from me. "Z?" I asked her.
"How could you say all of those hateful words to Lo?" Zoey asked me.
"I can say them because there true." I said honestly. If she cared about Erik she wouldn't have let him chase me while she knew Jacen was back in my life.
"Who are you?" Zoey asked me.
"I'm Selene." I said. She was giving me a WTF are you kidding me look.
"Your not Selene." She said getting up and grabbing a bag. "I'm sleeping in Stark's room." She said before walking out of our room. I looked around and there was a note from Stevie Rae saying that she was sleeping in Dallas' room. I pulled out my phone.
"Hey gorgeous." Jacen answered.
"Can you come over?" I asked him. My voice was horse and shaky.
"Of course I'll be right there." He said hanging up the phone. I walked into the bathroom and locked the door.
Jacen POV.
Selene sounded very unstable when she called me. She sounded hurt, afraid, and like an utter wreck. I ran as fast as I could to her dorm room. I bumped into Zoey on my way there. "Where are you going?" I asked her.
"Stark's room." She answered. I gave her a why look so she continued. "Selene's mean and not herself." She said before walking past me. Sel wasn't herself. WTF! She was fine when I was just with her. Then it hit me Erik.! I continued running to her room. When I got there I opened the door without even knocking. I walked in and Selene was no where to be found. "SELENE!" I called. I was so worried about her. I tried to open the bathroom door but it was locked. "Selene!" I called again.
Cliffhanger?!
