Eden

Chapter 38: Picture it

I walk downstairs and smile at Jonah.
"You ready to go?" I ask and he frowns
"I'm leaving tomorrow, because...well last night..."
"Jonah I feel stupid enough for crying after sex...it sent me back a bit too much." I look down
"Princess...don't feel stupid. You're hurting. I'm hurting. It hurts. We are having a hard time because we can't have a pup right now. That's nothing to be ashamed of. I just want to be here for you today, Okay?" He frowns and I nod
"Thank you."
"Of course." He smiles
"The therapist said I should walk the halls at school. I need your help." I say and his eyes widen
"When do you want to go?"
"In a few minutes if you want..." I bite my lip and he nods
"Sure," He says and I hug him
"Thank you being here for me."

I almost faint walking through the door.
It's Sunday so no one is here, luckily.
I begin to walk and I cling to Jonah.
I whimper and my legs give out
He holds me tight and I sob into his chest
"I can't." I plead
"But you're so close." He coaxes and I open my eyes.
My locker, and the bathroom to my right
My breath hitches in my throat.
"Hey Eden, maybe we should look in there..." he points to the bathroom and I whimper
"Trust me." He smiles and I look down
"Okay."
I walk in and see roses in the stall.
"Wha?" I frown
"Apparently some of the girls at school went through something similar." He whispers and my heart breaks
"They wanted to let you know." He says and I hug him
"Where were you all these years." I laugh through my tears
"I should've been closer." He whispers happily
I kiss him and he holds me close
"Come in princess, let's go home." He smiles and I smile
I look back and memories flash before my eyes
I whimper and he brings me to the car
"Eden." He says and I look at him
"Yeah?"
"I'm glad we did this." He smiles and I smile back
"Me too." I say

I walk around the house aimlessly.
Jonah left so I'm all alone with nothing to do.
At least I'm not in heat like before...
I sink into pillows and feel beyond sick.
I snuggle into the bed after giving up on walking.
I thought it might help my stomach pain, but I'm vomiting like a sea sick sailor.
I groan and the landline rings
I still don't use a phone.
I answer
"Hello?" I groan
"Eden?" Jonah asks
"Hey baby." I smile
"You okay?" He asks
"Mmm, a little under the weather." I frown
"I'm sorry Angel, I should only be gone for three weeks." He says
"Yeah I know." I sigh
"Hey I'll make it up to you." He promises
"Okay," I say, the feeling to rush the bathroom growing.
"Eden are y-" I hang up and run
I dry heave into the bowl before throwing up twice.
I let out a small howl and open my mind link
Eden?!
I'm okay, I swear.
What happened?!
I ran to the bathroom, I threw up...
Angel, you remember what I said?
If I feel faint, to tell a guard and make sure I'm not going to get hurt.
Okay, be safe angel I have to go I'm sorry.
Bye.
I stand up and feel dizzy and likely to faint.
Luckily my favourite guard is on duty.
I run downstairs and he looks at me
"Eden..." He cocks his head
"I'm gonna faint." I blurt and he nods
I feel myself sway and the sky comes crashing down on me

I wake up to Jake watching over me
"Eden, you're up!" He smiles
"How long was I out?" I groan, rubbing my head
"An hour or two." He says and I groan
"I should tell-"
"I already told Alpha you fainted and that you're awake." He smiles
"How did y- mindlink?" I ask and he nods
I sigh and collapse back into bed.
"Luna, he's calling you." He says smiling and walks out
I grab the phone and mumble a hello
"Hey princess, you feeling any better?"
"A little." I frown
"I can try to come back this weekend if you need me to..." he suggests
"No, no you're okay. I'll be fine. I swear." I yawn
I've been with a Jonah for a year now, it's cold outside again.
I miss him.
I remember when we went on a walk through the gardens in the snow.
Eden Past PoV:
I up at him and he wraps his trench coat around me.
I snuggle close to him, cold from the snow beginning to fall.
"You okay princess?" He asks
"Of course." I smile
"Eden, I may only have known you for two weeks, but I know you're lying." He smirks
"Well...I feel jealous and I don't feel jealous often." I pout and he cocks his head
"Oh? Of who?"
"Sandy! She has parents who are alive and love her, and she's been with her mate since she was eighteen and she's pregnant! She's fucking normal!" I snap, exasperated.
"You're jealous of Sandy?" He smirks and I pout
"Problem with that?" I huff and he chuckles
"Of course not, but if you were Sandy you'd be pregnant and lonely. There must be something about her than you don't envy." He probes
"She doesn't have you." I say and he lights up
"Mmm." He says and pulls me even closer
"If it helps, I've been jealous of Frasier before. All the time." He smiles
"Really?" I chirp
"You kidding? My mate was on the run and he just told me that Sandy was pregnant. I wanted to explode with jealousy."
"Now that I understand." I giggle and he kisses my head
"Ready to go inside? I'm sure you're freezing." He asks and I smile
"I'm okay for now, plus I like being this close to you."
