Evince Me by Lili Lam

me.
"Go get some rest in the spare room." Rico tilted his head to the
door beside him. "I'll try and talk to her when she gets
up."
     
    Nodding my head in utter defeat, I braced myself
against the wall and stood up. Dragging my feet the entire way down
the hall, I plopped myself on the bed and drifted off into a deep
sleep. My mind didn't want to give up, but my body thought
otherwise...
     
    I was awoken from my precious few hours of sleep
from the curtains being yanked apart and sunlight shining me in the
eyes. Throwing my arm up to shield my eyes from the blinding light,
I squinted a few times to adjust to the sudden change.
     
    When my eyes finally focused I was faced with an
angry looking blonde. Glaring at me with rage in her big blue
eyes....ahh the furious best friend. "You idiot!" Anya whisper
shrieked smacking me in the arm with her thin hands. "How could
you?"
     
    "How'd you find out so quickly?" I sighed
staring up at the ceiling. I'm sure if Anya knows, Luke knows too.
So I'll never hear the end of it from him either, because I'm sure
Anya will keep pestering him to nag me about it.
     
    "What do you mean how'd I find out so quickly,
that's my best friend's heart that you broke, ya moron!" Anya
thundered, her tiny fists aimed at me in a threat. "You better get
your sorry ass up, fix it and fix it now."
     
    Covering my eyes with my arms, I let out a groan
of frustration. I know I messed up big time, I sure as hell didn't
need Anya rubbing it in and reminding me of it. I was a man on a
mission this morning...one that included groveling on my hands and
knees to beg for Lise's forgiveness. I wouldn't take no for an
answer, she's got to forgive me.

Chapter 10: Agree to Disagree
     
    My head was pounding like there was a tiny child
sitting inside going all wild with his first drum set. I threw the
comforter off angrily as I peeled myself off the bed. There's no
hope, I'm not going to get any sleep. Sniffling, I tried to clear
out my clogged nasal passages and rubbed at my swollen dry eyes.
Damn you Tristan for making me cry.
     
    Glancing at the clock I noticed it read seven
o'clock, may as well do something constructive with my time instead
of laying in bed feeling sorry for myself. I'm sure Rico's up
already dealing with his Alpha duties. Maybe I can go talk to him
and see if he needs any help.
     
    Taking a quick shower, I used some concealer to
try and cover up the puffy bags under my eyes. This is the first
serious fight Tristan and I have been in, guess it was bound to
happen sooner or later right? I prayed silently to myself that he
wasn't sprawled across the doorway asleep, it's still too early to
face him.
     
    Was it my fault for allowing Marco to hug me
even though it was an innocent hug? I know it's really difficult
for Tristan to see me so touchy-feely with other guys since he's my
mate, but I truly can't help the fact that I'm such a loveable
person.
     
    All right, maybe I'm just being a real bitch
here. I mean look at how I reacted to that girl in the club
practically mauling him! I can't even begin to imagine what Tristan
felt when I defended the person who tried to take me away from
him....ok I'm being a brat, I admit it alright?
     
    I should've known better then to add fuel to the
already out of control fire burning deep within Tristan. I'm
surprised he didn't shift and kill the both of us! Got to give it
to my baby for having full control over his wolf, he's gonna make
one hell of an Alpha.
     
    'Rico, you up?' I
thought trying to summon my brother for help.
     
    'Yea Lise, what's up? You
ok?' His tone was one of concern, which means he was
well aware of the events that went down early this morning.
Thankfully he's not one to rub things in or pry into my business.
Rico's just there for me as my rock, to listen and offer advice
when asked.
     
    'Is he outside the
door?' I asked in embarrassment, knowing if I
attempted to open the door a crack and Tristan was out there...I'd
have to face him.
