“What the fuck?!” I was pissed off. John left work without even telling me. He isn’t even answering his goddamn phone now. Is this really how he wants to handle this?! I don’t understand why he’s so upset about one little comment.

Jason pulled up in front of the office to pick me up, since John left me stranded at work. He gave me a gentle smile, as he pulled up to where I was waiting.

“Where’s John?” He had to know that was not the right way to greet me. I rolled my eyes and grunted.

“I don’t fucking know. And I’m not in the mood to talk about it.” I said angrily.

“OOOOhhh trouble in paradise? Is the honeymoon phase finally finding it’s end?” Jason taunted me.

“Don’t fucking start.” I warned him, baring my teeth in a nasty animalistic snarl.

“Touchy subject I see.” He said as he pulled off. I ignored the comment, and we sat in silence the rest of the ride home.

When he finally pulled up in front of my house, I got out and slammed the car door shut behind me. I took long strides to get to my front door quickly. I didn’t want to be around anybody right now, not even Jason. I shut and locked my door, and went straight to my bathroom. I started up my shower, letting the water get nice and hot before stepping in.

Standing under the stream of hot water, I let out a long sigh. I just wanted the day to be over. I stood in the shower for what felt like hours, letting the hot water relax me.

“Maybe he’s mad for more than one reason man.” Fenris said.

“What else would have made him mad enough to ignore my and not let me come over?”  I had no idea what I could have done to make him that mad.

“Well… you did basically tell him you can’t yet another birthday with him this morning, then you try to get some action at work, get caught, and make an inappropriate comment about it to the woman who caught you. He could be hurt, annoyed, and embarrassed. That’s enough to need space for a while.” Fenris pointed out. It’s a good thing I have two souls with their own way of thinking in me, or I’d never survive.

“Oh. I didn’t even think about how I could have really upset him this morning.” I replied in an exasperated way.

“You might should just try to talk to him when you get to work tomorrow. Let him have the evening to himself.”  Fine. I guess my mind is made up then.

I finished my shower, and went straight to bed. Fenris was begging me for a run, but honestly, I was in no mood to go anywhere tonight. I just want to go to bed so this day will be over.

 ***

It’s been two weeks and John and I hardly see or talk to each other now. It’s really angering my Alpha. I want my boyfriend, but he doesn’t want to be near me anymore. I don’t know how much longer I can handle this. I mean just today at work, he barely said hello. He didn’t even let me kiss his cheek. He kept avoiding me every time he saw me. It’s starting to feel like he’s trying to break up with me. He really only keeps the bare minimum of a conversation; ‘Hello.’, ‘I’m fine.’, ‘Okay.’, ‘Goodnight’. Just one word replies, even in person. And Jason isn’t making me feel any better about any of this!

I decided I’ve taken all of this attitude that I can handle. I drove to John’s house, in hopes of talking to him to figure out where we stand now. I still don’t even understand how he got this mad at me. I knew he was at least awake still, because his living room light was still on when I walked up to his front porch. So I knocked on his door and waited.

“Why are you here?” He sounded upset that I showed up at his house. He didn’t even make eye contact with me.

“Wow. What a way to greet you boyfriend.” I snapped back at him. “If you’re going to continue to avoid and ignore me, shouldn’t you at least break up with me now? It’s been two fucking weeks John. I’m not interested in a one sided relationship. So I need you to make up your mind now.” I didn’t even bother asking to go inside to talk.

“Fine. Then I guess we should just take a break. Bye Theo.” And with that, he slammed the door in my face. I immediately felt panicked and the ache in my heart. Before I could stop it, a hot tear rolled down my cheek.

“What the fuck?” I whispered to myself.

“Theo, what did we do?” Fenris whined from the pain of his heart ache. I didn’t respond.

 I backed away from John’s door, but didn’t make it off the porch before my knees buckled under me, causing me to fall flat on my ass. I just sat there, at the edge of his porch and tried to grasp what just happened, silently letting tears stream down my face. I guess I sat there too long, because Parker walked up to me and just stood there staring at me. I didn’t even say anything to him. I clicked my tongue at him, got up and left, without looking back.

At my house, I went straight to my room and collapsed in my bed. I had sent a text to Jason, telling him I wont be up to my Alpha duties for some time, and asked him to take over until further notice. He didn’t question me, just accepting his given task. Then I just slept.
