Chris's plans

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
AVRIL
I wasn't happy with the way Chris and Ariel acted like kindergarten kids.
"She hasn't embraced the warewolf race yet?" Chris asked amidst laughter, he continued laughing uncontrollably.
"Chris? Please!" I said gently.
Chris killed the laughter slowly, although he stopped laughing he was still wearing this very funny grin on his face.
"Chris I understand where you are driving at, I also understand why you want to bring peace between the warewolf clan and the human race but..."
"But?" Chris asked leaning towards me with the grin on his face earlier completely gone.
*Chris where do we intend to start? I really don't think this is going to work", I said.
"Really? Did you even try it? No! You just conclude that it wouldn't work?" Chris asked staring at me like I was a failure.
"I am sorry Chris, I am sorry for thinking this way, for having this kind of mindset but I......"
"It's fine Avril, I shouldn't have called you both here. I really did make a big mistake. It's fine if you can't help, it's not the first time I'm gotten rejected, I'd find my own ways", Chris said as if he had made up his mind.
"Chris, did you try convincing me? You didn't even make any effort", I said. I was getting emotional already.
"Convince you? Your mind is already made up Avril, there's nothing I'd say to change it", Chris replied.
"Chris you know that's a lie, if you really wanted to work with me...
"Avril let's go home", Ariel stood up, and he held my hand dragging me up.
"Go! That's all you all know how to do", Chris replied angrily.
"It's fine Ariel, you can go ahead I want to talk to Chris alone", I said taking my hand away from Ariel's.
"What do you want to talk about? How to bring peace between the warewolf and the human race? Funny how he thinks that's going to work", Ariel replied.
"You know what Ariel?" Chris asked and stood up to face Ariel, Ariel turned to face him as if ready to fight.
"I really thought you were intelligent, but no! You're a dumb ass mother fucker!" Chris cursed at Ariel who bit his lower lip and let out a weak smile.
"You really think it's possible to take away the werewolf's blood from Avril's but you don't think it's possible to bring peace between the warewolf and human race? Isn't that the highest order of stupidity?" Chris took a step forward.
"Your mentality sucks!" Chris shouted into Ariel's face while Ariel pushed him hard, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground but was able to get hold of himself.
Chris rushed Ariel landing two punches on his right cheek. Ariel dragged Chris and was about to punch him when I stood in between them.
"Stop!" I said in a teary voice.
I looked back and forth at both of them with my heart ripping. I wiped my eyes as a drop of tear escaped them.
Ariel and Chris were really touched at the sight of my tears, their fist which was already folded in a fighting position immediately got straightened whole Chris a step backwards.
"Please you both, not today I beg of you", I pleaded.
"Let's go, Avril, I can't Coexist with such an animal", Ariel said and dragged me out of the room.
I was really mad at both Ariel and Chris, they always ruin my happiness. Why can't they just at least pretend to be happy with each other?
"Ariel, what did Chris ever do to you?" I asked Ariel on getting home.
"What did Carol ever do to you?" He asked back and I smiled weakly.
"That's it? Because I don't like Carol?" I asked him.
I knew Carol didn't do anything to me I just couldn't help but hate her... No, I didn't hate her, I only dislike her.
"No, I don't hate Chris because of the way you feel towards Carol. It's definitely not because of that, it's just that I hate him for the same reason you hate Carol", he replied.
"Wow!" I exclaimed lightly and sighed deeply afterwards.
I sat on the couch in the seating room using my hands to move all my hair backwards.
'Ariel is so unbelievable!' I thought.
But thinking about it actually, Carol did nothing wrong to me apart from flirting with Ariel. I just dislike the girl for no reason.
Whatever it was I needed to fix things with Chris, I didn't want what happened the other time to repeat itself again.
I retired to my room and decided I'd see Chris the next day since I didn't have anything planned for the day.

CHRIS
I paced my room back and forth wondering about the next step to take. Neither Tyson nor Avril is interested in my plans. There was no one else to run to.
I wasn't interested in fixing things with Avril, bringing peace between the warewolf and the human race was the only thing that bothered me at that time.
It had always been my dream and a cause for my worry even before I got bitten, although I didn't care much about werewolves until after the bite, I saw it as an unjust treatment melted on them, I didn't like seeing them get killed like animals.
I could remember how hard I cried on the night I got bitten seeing my parents torture and kill an Omega. I knew I'd suffer the same date if ever they find out about my true identity.
Sleep also was the last thing on my mind, I paced the room restlessly...
I racked my brain for possible people to seek help from, mom and dad are the last people I want to talk to about this for help. Avril's parents are rootless and very strict when it comes to issues concerning werewolves.
I was determined to stop the killing of werewolves no matter what it'd cost.

AVRIL
I visited Chris as soon as I was done with my morning dues.
I knocked lightly on Chris's door thrice but didn't get any replies.
I turned the door handle gently and pushed it backwards, the door went wide open and I walked into the room.
Chris held a magazine in his hand with his headphone hugging his ear... Chris raised an eyebrow when I walked in and returned his gaze to the magazine he held.
"Chris!" I called trying to get his attention, he saw me walk into the room but pretended he didn't.
"What do you want?" He asked placing the magazine on a table beside his bed.
Chris who was in a semi-lying position sat up fully on his bed, he took off the headphone and placed them on the table just beside the magazine.
"I want us to talk, we need to talk", I said and sat on the couch.
"Talk about what exactly? What do we need to talk about?" Chris asked.
"Why? Don't we have a problem? Chris, we are not okay and you know it", I said.
"Are we not?" Chris asked pretending not to know what I was talking about.
"Chris you have to stop acting like a child", I said getting annoyed by the way Chris acted.
"What do you want us to talk about Avril? That I fought with Ariel again? That we ain't okay? That I am antagonizing your brother? Or something else? Are we going to talk about my proposal?" Chris asked.
I took in a deep breath..
"Chris I never said you are antagonizing my brother, but you both are grown-ups for heaven's sake you don't have to fight this way all the time", I said.
"Then what will you have me do? Watch him and smile while he hit me? You saw everything right? He hit me first", Chris defended.
"You pushed him, you insulted him", I said defending Ariel.
"Wow!" Chris exclaimed.
"Just wow! Now you're going to defend him? He didn't insult me? It was all my fault?" Chris asked a very obvious angry expression written all over his face.
"Chris I am not here to defend anyone, I am only here so we can sort things out I do......"
"Why? So we can sort things out and get back together like we used to? Avril, can you hear yourself right now?" Chris asked.
I was getting angry at the way Chris spoke to me but I tried really hard to hold back my anger, even then I still loved Chris so much.
"I feel so used right now", I muttered.
"Why? Because I kissed you? Because you feel like I don't love you?" He asked and stood up from his bed, he walked towards me.
He still had his pyjamas on, only a pair of pyjamas trousers without shirts, he was covered in his blankets all along even though he was seated.
I swallowed hard at the sight of Chris's abs, I really wanted to tell Chris to put on his shirt but words weren't coming out as he left me completely speechless.
