Moonbreeze (The Dragonian Series Book 4) (66 page)

“Yes, he was on the roof,” I said.

“Did the two love birds make up?” He sounded like the new Blake.

“They are not back yet, so I guess it’s a good sign.”

“It is.” He had a knowing sort of evil grin on his face.

It was quiet for a few seconds and I looked at his holograph for the first time. He was looking down.

“Elena what do you want?”

“You phoned me,” I said.

“That’s not what I mean. Sometimes I just don’t know, something that is not supposed to be impossible. But it is.”

Make it easy and just tell him.
You promised Tabitha.
“I don’t know.”

He nodded his head. “Fine, I’ll wing it,” he said and I couldn’t help but giggle softly. Again silence and I heard Sammy and Dean leaving.

“Hey, what is going on in that mind of yours?” Blake asked.

I shook my head and wiped off a stray tear. Why was this so hard? It was Blake for crying out loud. The boy that never knew what he wanted.

“Talk to me, Elena. I can’t read your mind, remember.”

I smiled.

“I’m breaking too many promises, Blake.” I looked at him.

“So, it’s Etan. You want to wait?”

“It’s not just Etan.” I sighed. “I made another promise to Tabitha.”

“Tabitha?”

“You gave me no choice, Blake. I really needed your help in classes and you never…” I couldn’t finish. That time of my life was hard and I was messed up with everything I had to learn, everything I had to deal with.

“What promise?” He wasn’t angry.

“That she could have you, I just need the dragon.”

He nodded. “And I have no say in this?”

“Blake it’s not that easy. It wasn’t that easy. You might have easily forgotten that, I can’t.”

“Oh, believe me I haven’t. I know what I was like, Elena. It’s why I’m trying to make it up to you. Being a bit nicer.”

“A bit nicer. It’s as if you are stuck in some Twilight Zone.”

He chuckled but his smile disappeared.

“So what, you are going to make promises left, right and center without consulting me first?”

“Without consulting you? Blake you hated—”

“Yes, you said that already. Hated your guts. I still do from time to time, especially now when you are so hard-headed that nobody can get through to you.”

“I just don’t know if I can break this promise, Blake.”

His lips curved downwards and he nodded his head. I couldn’t look at him as this was exactly the same as rejecting him and whatever he felt towards me, whether it was real or not.

“So we’re back at square one,” he mumbled, sighed and I could see how he pulled his hand through his hair.

“Okay, fine, whatever Elena,” he said and his holograph disappeared.

I closed my eyes as my heart wanted to break into a thousand pieces. I couldn’t believe we were back there, and the worst part was that it was all my doing this time. He’d been perfect the past few days, well not counting today. Or maybe he’s been perfect too, letting me off easy so that he could be with Tabitha without admitting it, or feeling guilty about it.

He made me so confused.
