Rejected

Chapter 19

Macey’s POV

All that night I tossed and turns, not getting more than a five minute sleep, and even that was filled with gruesome nightmares; about being trapped, being hurt, being mutilated, and Cole. I had taken a swim after my encounter with Katie but it didn’t have its normal effect on me, it didn’t make me relaxed or calm, just more agitated and annoyed. My head was a beehive of confounded emotions and muddled up thoughts. Finally, at about three I gave up on sleep all together so I sat on the window bench thing, looking at the stars and the moon. I spotted the constellation Ursa Major, but even the stars looked bleak and tired today. I decided to block the pain, emotion and the thoughts by sticking my headphones and letting the variety of artists and songs invade my mind. The voices of The Wanted, Big Time Rush, One Direction, JLS, Ed Sheeran, Jesse McCartney, Adele, Jason Derulo and a dozen others occupied my mind for the rest of the night. I let each song; each different genre, different beat, different pace, each good in its own right, seep through my mind and take me away to somewhere between dreams and reality.

I looked at my phone to see it was finally seven; I got up and decided to get ready for the day ahead. I was meeting Katie at ten; i wondered what happened if you keep a ghost waiting. I laughed as an image of an irritated Katie pacing up and down he sidewalk of Emma’s house popped into my mind.

Noah’s POV

It was finally seven and time for us to leave. Charlotte and I had decided last week that it was time we said goodbye to this town, there were too many bad memories for us to live out our lives here. I gave up being Alpha to Leo, he deserved it more than me and I knew he would do a good job. I said goodbye to my family, they pretty much had forgiven me, but I knew that was only because of the constant bugging of mom for them to forgive me and the fact that everyone could see how Leo and Macey had fallen for each other, and that it was only a matter of time before they got together. I was glad, they deserved to be happy.

I put my stuff in the boot of my car and hugged my mom and sisters; even my dad and Leo were there to put bad feelings aside. With the man hugs over I wished Leo good luck with training for Alpha and got in, waiting for Charlotte.

Charlotte’s POV

I was surprised when Emma and Ashley had hugged me goodbye, but I hugged them back, tight and sincere. I had changed in the last few weeks and everyone could see it, mostly me. Although only going for Noah because of his Alpha position, I had involuntarily and completely fallen in love with him, even though he wasn’t my mate I loved him and it wasn’t changing. So we decided to leave, we couldn’t live here anymore, it wasn’t right for anyone even though they all but forgave Noah, and were beginning to warm to me. So with the final byes and even a few tears from me and the girls I got into Noah’s car and drove into the, well sunrise…

Emma’s POV

I had a couple of tears running down my cheek as we saw Noah driving away from the house, possibly for the last time. Even though everything had happened, and both Noah and Charlotte had acted horribly he was still my brother, and we had been close before everything with Macey and Charlotte. I looked to see Ashley also sniffling and my dad holding mom, comforting her, who was in full out tears. Over the last few weeks, Noah had changed as well as Charlotte. We could see they were really in love now and the fact that Noah gave up his Alpha position, and that Charlotte actually let him made everyone see that they were serious. All of us also have gotten used to hanging with the couple because of Leo and Macey. We all knew that it was only a matter of time before they got together and I personally could not wait for the day, the sparks between them were so real. And I was happy for them, after all Macey had gone through and Leo with losing Katie, they both deserved each other, and I only prayed that nothing else would befall on them.

Macey’s POV

It was about 7:30 and I was outside walking. I needed to clear my head. I suddenly looked up and saw Noah’s car coming towards me and stopping. I waited whilst Charlotte and Noah came out of the car and walked towards me, we were hardly friends, but we had gotten along the past week or so and even hung out together. I could see Charlotte was deeply in love with Noah and even though it pained a little each time I saw them together, I knew that it was over between us. I also knew that it would keep on aching, if just a little, if only enough for it to be bearable, I knew it would be there, after all he was my mate and at the end of the day I did get Rejected by him.

‘Macey, hey.’ Charlotte smiled, her eyes red rimmed, as if she had been crying, I wondered what was happening, if anyone was hurt.

‘What’s happening, is everything ok?’ they looked at each other for a while, and turned back to me.

Noah spoke, ‘we’re leaving Macey, out of this town. We want to start somewhere else.’

I was shocked, this I did not see coming. ‘Erm, can I ask why?’ I asked, confused.

‘You and I both know Macey that me and Charlotte can’t live here, after everything that’s happened.’

‘And Macey, even though you might not show it, I know that you still feel some pain every time you see Noah and me together, and for that I am really sorry, but it can’t be changed. So, it’s best for everyone that we leave.’

Wow, I was shocked, again, ‘but what about the alpha…’

Noah cut me off, ‘I gave it to Leo, he’ll do a good job, I know he will.’ I smiled at him, and looked at charlotte, she wasn’t upset at all, and she really had changed. ‘Well, goodbye?’ I didn’t know what else to say.

I was surprised when Charlotte hugged me and Noah placed a light kiss on my forehead, my heard pulled and he said, ‘look after yourself Macey, we know you’re going to be happy with Leo.’ I smiled, feeling tears coming to my eyes, wait, did he just say…

‘Wait, what do you mean be happy with Leo?’

I watched as Noah went back in to the car and Charlotte turned a little to reply, ‘anyone blind can see how much you’ve both fallen for each other, and the sparks between you, wow they are literally blinding. I actually had a bet with Noah to when you too will be getting it on. We won’t know the answer know but i hope it’s soon. You deserve each other, and I hope you get your happy ever after Macey.’ She smiled and walked away, I just stood there, stumped, watching the back away, do a ‘U’ turn and drive away.

I couldn’t believe what had just happened, I was stunned, I was there wasn’t a word strong enough for what I was feeling, a mixture of shock, love, forgiveness and then realisation.

They both believed me and Leo had something, I almost laughed at the irony when I remembered the meeting taking place later this morning. I let myself believe that maybe me and Leo would have, may get together, but after yesterday, who knows what will happen.

One thing was for sure, Leo would surely not look at me twice when he sees Katie. I felt tears roll down my cheek and headed home.
