Alpha's Mute Mate novel Chapter 56

"Whaaat! You already forgot about me your best friend you hurt me man." He says sarcastically as he places his hand over his chest.

"Come on let's hurry we don't want that old man to come running over here." I chuckled.

"Ha right and by the way you alright with leaving Lily right after you marked her?"

His words pierced right through me.

Of course I'm not alright with leaving her right after I didn't wish for this.

"Ahh I hit something didn't I."Jake says apologetic.

"It sucks for sure but this trip won't last long hopefully."

"Come on race you."

I laughed as he started to run.

He hasn't changed.

I ran not caring about my suit.

It was a bit hard to run in them but I ended up beating him.

"How do you run so fast?" He says out of breath.

I just shrug.

"Hurry up get it we don't have all day!" I hear my dad yell and we looked at each other and started laughing.

My dad would always yell at us when we were little kids.

Jake and I loved to play outside and explore the forest, and because of that we got lost a lot of times and hurt.

Flashback

~~~~~~

"Adrian I don't think we should be here.."

"Don't be a wimp Jake we are just going to explore. Either way I'm bored and I don't want to think of my responsibilities right now." My ten year old self said reassuring his friend.

"Are you not scared? We could get hurt lets go back." Jake nervously said watching his steps.

"Me scared NEVER! Come on it'll be fun don't you want to run freely without anyone telling you not to do something."

I see Jake nod and that's when I got him on my side.

"Jake uhh wait here will you." I say as I go behind a tree to pee.

There were so many plants around and I kept seeing this same plant.

I know I've seen it before in a book when my mom was teaching me about dangers.

I ignore it and go back to Jake.

I see him crouching down looking at the same plant.

"Hey I remember this plant from somewhere but where?"

I see him touch it and that's when I remember it's poison Ivy.

"Jake don't touch it! It's poison Ivy!" I yell but it was too late.

I saw that the same plant was everywhere and I was positive we both touched it.

"You know what lets go home." I say walking away from the plants.

I didn't know where I was so I walked in a straight line.

I look behind me and see Jake scratching himself.
