My Enemy Mate

It Isn't Your Fault

BELLA'S P.O.V.

We were all calmly eating pizza, the one my dear mate brought from my favorite place. I can't explain how much I appreciate his kindness, I am really in love with him and deeply fear that our family would separate us.

"Isn't Miss. Johnson the worst?" Alex said between chews, while covering her mouth, of course.

"I know. She made us run so much. I don't like exercising and I hate that she forces us to do it excessively. I know that it's important, but doing it so much has to be unhealthy." I spoke what was on my mind.

"Werewolves are so lucky, their lungs are bigger and it makes it easier for them." Alex said while staring daggers at Oliver.

"It's not my fault I was born this way." He defended himself.

I heard a nock on the door, making me get up from my seat, clean my hands and go open it.

"Hi." Renisha said once I opened the door.

"Hi, come in." I invited her in.

"I have information about the break in." She said as she sat down on one of the stools. "Can I?" She asked pointing to the pizza.

"Of course." Alex answered immediately.

"Anyway, spill the tea." I said with eyes full of curiosity.

"The 'intruder' wasn't really an intruder, it was a student named Megan." I froze upon hearing Megan's name. "She threatened to kill a student and blow up the school, I don't know who though. Thankfully, they threw her in prison for a long, long, time." She spilled all of what she knew. Oliver and Alex sat with their jaws on the floor and I, on the other hand, sat breathing heavily and expressionless.

"I know who she wanted to kill." I said expressionless, a chill thrill coming up my spine.

"Who?" She asked curiously, wanting to know more. They all turned to me, expecting an answer.

"Me." I said coldly.

While Renisha gasped, the other two looked at me with 'that makes sense, but I'm still shocked' looks.

"Why would you think that?" Renisha asked worried and startled.

I explained every detail of the story, from how she ripped me to pieces to the hateful messages.

"You really think it's you?" Renisha asked less shocked this time.

"I really do, she doesn't have any problem with anyone else, from my knowledge." I said while getting up from the stool.

"Where are you going?" Alex finally found her voice.

"My room." I said in a cold tone once again and headed to my room.

I walked as fast as I could to my room, breaking down on the bed as soon as I arrived.

I cried my heart out for about five minutes until the door slowly opened. I whipped my tears away as much as I could and tried to prevent more from coming.

"It's alright, Bella, she's in prison now, she can't harm you." Renisha said with a weak smile trying to make things better.

"She isn't crying about that." My dear mate blurted out, making the other two look at him in confusion.

"She's crying because she put other people in danger." He said exactly what was on my mind and sat down next to me. He wrapped his arms around me, where I broke down once again and started crying.

"It isn't your fault, Bella." Alex said with a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"It is. If I wouldn't have punched Megan this wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have put hundreds of people in danger. It's my job to protect them, and I failed." I said while warm tears left my eyes.

"It's alright, everyone is safe, nothing bad happened." Renisha tried comforting me like Alex tried to.

"But what if something bad did happen? Hundreds of people would have died, and it would have been all my fault." I argued my point.

"I just have one question." Oliver said calmly.

"What is it?" I asked the tears still running out of my eyes.

"Can you control Megan?" He asked simply.

"No." I said honestly.

"Then it isn't your fault. She brought this on herself, the fight between you too should have broken off during the summer. Yet she decided to continue to fight in a war that had already ended. It isn't your fault at all. I must admit that I'm so proud of you, angel, you've learned how to control your anger perfectly. While she was still holding that grudge, you were thinking that it might be your fault, which it's not." He spoke truthfully from his heart and opened my eyes to reality, he's right.

The tears stopped rushing out of my eyes. "You're right." I spoke once the realization hit me.

"Now let's watch something." Alex said with a small smile on her lips.
