Chapter 74 - She Doesn't Want Me

Jason -
When someone knocked on my door I had this swelling sensation in my chest, I was so hopeful that it was Tara, that she had finally come to talk to me about whatever had her holding herself back from our bond. It has been an agonising 24 hours since we discovered our bond and so far I had spent a grand total of about 30 minutes with her. Was I a disappointment? Had I failed her in some way already? I had spent the last 23 and a half hours trying to distract myself, telling myself she will come around, she will come to me, we will be together. I haven’t slept, I haven’t been able to eat, I can barely bring myself to move from the sofa I managed to stumble to after she fled from my presence last night.
Seeing Cassie standing behind my door was heartbreaking, I had managed to convince myself it was Tara. I love Cassie, we share that special bond that comes from being Luna and Gamma, and under any other circumstances my initial reaction to seeing her would be joy, followed by worry based on the expression I see on her face, and then suddenly I can’t see her face anymore, but I feel her arms around my torso, I feel the squeeze she gives me, letting me know without words that she is here and that she knows something is wrong even if she doesn’t know what.
