Part 31 (2/2)
”Whatever,” she says, unable to look me in the eye.
”I don't want to mess this arrangement up, but I think you should talk to Wolf.”
”We're not going out.”
I roll my eyes.
”Well your 'not' boyfriend will want to know anyway.”
I discussed the plan with the rest of the team. While they thought it was cruel to betray Emmy, they understood that it was in her best interest.
”Rio, she's gonna come to you and ask if I am hiding something.”
”You want me to lie?”
”It's for her own good.”
”Yeah, I guess.”
”I need you guys to find I.M. Trouble and have him write about Ameana and I being back together. It needs to be front page of the Splash. That way everyone will know.”
”Yeah, I'm on it,” Jay a.s.sures me.
The team must have felt my apprehension because they begin to rea.s.sure me.
”It's what has to be done,” Jay says.
”Emmy deserves a normal life after everything that's happened. You're giving that to her. That's a good thing,” Miku adds.
”The worst part is what I have to do next...” I tell them my plan.
”You're really going to do that?” Rio says.
”Yeah, she'll hate me but that way we can sell the story better.”
”How will you feel about her hating you?” Miku asks.
”It's fine,” I lie. No one buys it.
”Did Ameana tell Wolf her plans yet?” Jay asks.
”She's on the roof talking to him right now.”
As soon as I say the words, we hear a very irate rocker Angel shouting from the rooftop.
”WHAT??? THAT'S SO NOT RIGHTEOUS!!!”
We head up to the roof. I'm not sure if we went up to make sure Ameana was okay or if we just wanted to spy. Judging by the way we were all careful not to interrupt them, I'm thinking we were spying more than anything.
The two of them are on the other side of the roof. They're too deep in conversation to realize, or care, that we are there. Wolf is pacing back and forth as his wings rage against the sky.
”This isn't about me and Marcus,” she insists.
”Everything you do is about Marcus,” he protests.
”Look, I know it's a strange situation but-”
”Pretending to get back with your ex, who you aren't over, is not strange. It's stupid.”
”I'm over Marcus.”
”Please, you walk around like an open wound.”
”Wolf, I'm trying very hard not to throw you off the roof. Help me by not being such a pain.”
”Me? Because of you, all my Chakras are out of line!”
”Well, put them back in line and control yourself. I told you we're only pretending.”
”See, okay. There goes my Yin. And wait, yeah. There goes my Yang. Now both Yin and Yang-unbalanced.”
”You're doing it to yourself.”
”No, you're doing it to me. This whole time, all I have wanted is you. And now I see you don't want me. You want Marcus. You will always want Marcus.”
”That's not true! Not anymore.”
”Really? How the h.e.l.l am I supposed to know you want me? Huh? You act like we aren't together. You won't let me save your life. You won't even return my calls. How am I supposed to know-”
Ameana shuts him up by wrapping her arms around his shoulders and giving him a big, long, deep kiss.
The team cheers and makes crude remarks.
”It's about d.a.m.n time,” Jay says.
”How's your Yin and Yang now?” Rio asks.
”Leave some for me,” Miku yells out to her best friend.
Wolf picks his Angel up and flies away with her, never once breaking from the kiss.
