21. Love and Anger. Lila's Pov

I threw some pebbles into the stream and watched as it made a splash sound. Took some more beside where I was seated and continued the act I called therapy.

 My mind was aching terribly and was all over what Derek told me. His serious expression did it for me, he wasn't joking around or pulling my legs, and for a fact, I wished he was.

 Consecutive sighs escaped my mouth, hands suspended in the air as I flung the rocks over the water. 

 My hair was tangled. Aurora opted to help me separate the tuft but I refused. I was in disarray. Right there, I was alone, disgusted and hungry. Aurora had made a delicious soup out of the boar but knowing that animal wanted to kill me earlier made the thought of me eating it disgusting.

 "Hey." Online came up from behind.

 "Hi."

 "Do you mind?" She tried to join me.

 Of course I shifted willingly, narrowed my lips to tell her I was okay with her staying.
