First Kiss

Casper staggered into his room and fell on the bed. He groaned in pain as his head throbbed.

" What the hell happened to you". He's mother badged into the room. Casper ignored her and faced the other side of the bed. His father entered immediately also.

"Let's leave him Sofia, he deserves what ever his going through". His father said.

Sofia scoffed. "My son is going through pain and you are telling me to leave him. You know, I kind of feel like you're hiding something from me". Sofia stared at her husband straight in the eye.

Gareth sighed. "Come on, I'll tell you as we walk".

Sofia nodded and followed him out.

"I'm listening". She said and they stopped walking.

"First of all ,Casper found his mate".

Sofia grinned so hard her mouth ached. "Where is she, I want to see her. I can't believe it. I'm going to be a grandmother soon. I'm so happy". she squeaked in happiness but it drained away when she saw the look on her husband's face.

"Is there a problem Gareth". Sofia asked and Gareth sighed.

"As far as I know, the girl hates Casper to the core".

Sofia nodded. "So, that doesn't mean she won't love him when they become mates".

"No you don't understand. He bullied her. He fucking bullied her. She hates him so much. You Should have seen the deadly look on her face!. If she could kill him she would!!".

Sofia's face turned pale and she looked back at Casper's door. "He bullied his mate. Did you just say he bullied his mate."

"Yes, and the worst part was the girl also thinks I support him. I had no idea. Until when we finished the meeting and Casper's friends came to tell me what really went down".

Sofia was oblivious of any other thing Gareth said. Her mind was on one sentence. Casper bullied his mate. She tried to look at the bright side. She looked up at her husband who kept ranting about how sad he was for his son.

" If he bullied her that doesn't mean the mating bond won't take control of her mind. She would love him whole heatedly right. She would forget all the pain and see only the love". Sofia said desperately hoping whatever she just said made sense.

Gareth sighed and held his wife in a hug. "The mating bond would be weak on her side because she feels complete hatred, rage and revenge. She won't feel the bond at all. She's blinded by the pain".

Sofia held back a sob. "She won't reject him right*. She asked.

"Let's hope so Sofia, let's hope so. Cause if she does, the pack is at risk".

Sofia yelped. She was disappointed in him.

Casper slept off and the next thing he knew he was in a forest but the forest looked so beautiful it almost looked like a garden if not of the big trees that surrounded it. Then he heard a cry of agony. He followed the sound and saw a teenage girl by the side of a lake. Her head was on her lap and her legs were in the water. he heard her cry. He felt his heart beat increase but still he couldn't see the girl. Then suddenly the girl looked up and he saw her face. It was soaked in tears and her eyes were big puffy and red. It look like she had cried the whole day, And she was still crying. Then he saw her clearly when she tucked her hair behind her ears. Olivia.

The girl was olivia. Then suddenly the girl started laughing when she looked at him.

"I'll make you regret Casper Sanchez. I'll make you regret all you've done to me. Mark my words Casper. I'll do worst than what you did to me. I'll do worse".

Then the girl vanished and when he blinked he was back in his bed.

Olivia reached her house an hour later and she found her parents by the door. It looked like her mother had been crying. She walked past them and pushed the door open. Her parents followed. When she tried heading upstairs they stopped her by standing in her way.

"I can't bear to see you like this Olivia. Come with me. I need to tell you something". Her mother said.

Olivia scoffed. "What do you want to tell me. What. Would you tell me about how wrong I was to bullshit all the whole stupid council or what. Would you tell me how wrong I was. Casper should count himself lucky I'm not rejecting him now. If that's what you want to hear. But don't count on it. People change mother and decisions change. You told me that yourself".

She pushed past her parents and headed upstairs this time they didn't try to stop her.

"What the hell got into her." Her mother said.

"She's hurt because she got mated with the person she hates. She's angry and frustrated but she's more hurt and she thinks she deserves more that all this. We should leave her for now. Maybe she'll accept it soon". Her father said and her mother nodded sighing.

" I don't like where this is going".

Ralph walked tho and fro in his room. What the hell was happening. He remembered how Olivia ran off and Casper was right behind her. He remembered when he sighted her and tried to go there but some boys stoped him and other set of people from going further. He remembered when her mother called sounding worried. How the hell did she even get his number. And even when Olivia came to him. She looked like she just came out of a battle and was weeping over the fighters she lost.

Knock, knock, knock. He heard a sound from his window. He decided to check it out and when he opened it. Olivia was staring at him from the window opposite his. His breathing stopped when he saw her face. She was red all over and her eyes were big. The white part was really red he feared she had lost her eyesight. Her face was even more red. tears were falling as she stared back at him.

" What the hell happened to you".

Olivia tried smiling at Ralph's outburst but she ended up crying.

She cleaned her nose with the back of her hands. She couldn't stop the tears firm falling.

Ralph was still shocked as she continued crying. He needed to get to her. She looked like she needed comfort. He could see how she was hurting. He looked down and saw that they were very high from the ground but her window was close so maybe if he could just climb something he could jump into her room. He climbed the window and Olivia stiffled a cry when she saw what he was doing.

"Are you crazy, do you want to die. Can't you see how high it is. If you miss a step you could die". Ralph ignored her and jumped. Olivia gasped as Ralph jumped on her and they both fell to the floor in her room.

Ralph groaned in pain. He had twisted his ankle. He looked up at the person he fell on top but he stopped breathing when he saw Olivia's wet eyes beneath him and staring at him intently. Their nose was just two inches apart. He frowned looking into her eyes cause it seemed to sparkle with the tears in them.

Olivia knew hiw weight was crushing her but what the hell. The heat from his body clouded her and those lips. They were so full and kissable.

His breath fanned her face and oh God she forgot all her pain for that moment. Ralph leaned in more out of instinct she tilted her head and their lips touched.

"Olivia. Are you in there".

"Christ!". Ralph jumped off. And Olivia stood up also.

"Shit that's my mother. She must not see you here".

Ralph ran his hand through his hair. "I need to get out of here before she comes in".

"Olivia open up for me." Her mother shouted hitting the door.

Ralph walked to the window and climbed it. Olivia stood before him waiting to close it.

Ralph stared at her for a moment and Olivia wondered what went through his mind and the most surprising thing happened. Ralph leaned in and kissed her briefly before jumping to his own window.

Olivia's mouth hung open in Surprise.

"Olivia open up or I'll break this door open. her mother shouted and she closed the window and rushed to the door. She opened it and her mother was standing in her night gown.

********************************

"Casper, casper, where the hell are you. Come out of your damn hiding place". Moreen shouted at her brother.

Casper held his breath as he pushed himself further into the cupboard.

"Come out and be a man Casper. Come out now. Don't let me find you." Moreen shouted.

Casper heard the opening and closing of doors and it was getting closer. And finally Moreen opened the cupboard. seeing him there she dragged him out.

She punched him in the face before he could get anything out of his mouth.

"You bastard. I fucking warned you"!. She gave him another punch and dragged him out of the room. Casper didn't fight back. He felt too much pain to fight back.

Moreen dragged him into her room and locked the door.

"Now I want you to say it with your mouth. Is it true?".

Casper nodded.

"Oh God." Moreen gasped. Her poor brother must be so hurt and filled with regret.

" I warned you Casper. I told you. Now you see. There's no way to go back and undo what you've done. I told you, now look what you've done to yourself. If she rejects you I won't blame her. I'll do worst if I were in her shoes. But now. What's done is done. We have to find a way to settle things and we will start with you Manning up and stop acting like a love sick puppy who lost his owner. We need her to forgive you. And that would take a whole lot of time".

She looked at Casper who had his head bowed.

"Where you even listening to me at all. Casper I'm talking to you". Casper didn't answer and she leaned down to touch him. She gasped.

"Oh God Casper you're burning up.

How did you get so sick".

"I'm scared". Casper voiced out. "I saw her in my dream. she hates me so much".

" I'm coming let me get mom".

She left him and ran down stairs.

"Mom Casper's burning up. She shouted and ran up back."

Sofia jumped out of her seat. Did she hear right. But that's not possible. She left what she was doing and ran upstairs to meet Casper.

Olivia sighed as her mother entered her room. She walked to her bed and sat and her mother did the same.

******************************

"I want you to pour it all out Olivia. Don't keep it in". Her mother said.

Olivia sighed. If only her mother knew what was going through her mind. Casper wasn't the one rather it was the new guy next door that was opposite her window that had just kissed her.

Her first kiss!. She looked at her mother. And her mother had to spoil the moment.

She was suddenly dragged and the next thing she found her head rested on her mother's chest. Her mother stroked her head.

"Oh olivia. My poor child, you must be hurting so badly. Don't worry tomorrow you'll get stronger".

Her mother sighed. If only olivia took her advice. She wouldn't be hurting this much. She had told her to let the past go so it wouldn't build up into something that's impossible to get over. Now this things are affecting her badly. Olivia must have been remembering everything casper had did to her.
