She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 47

"I'll get it but if she finds out you're doing background checks on her, she's not going to be too happy." Bow it was my turn to sigh.

"I know but I need to make sure she's alright." He agreed and I hung up. As soon as I parked my car in his driveway, I jogged up to Sam's house and knocked three times.

"Here." He answered and handed me the file.

"Thanks, Sam. For everything." I sped back home and ran up to my office. The whole drive home I had to resist not ripping into the file. I sat down at my desk and slowly opened the file. It was in chronological order so the records started when she was born. I smiled as I read what time and day she was born. She was born on a Sunday. The file was too thick to not hold anything personal. I skipped through a few pages until I got to a few years ago when she was thirteen. As my eyes analyzed and took in the text, my heart dropped. This was when all her problems started, something must have happened. This was probably when her dad left. It said that she was hurting herself and one time she ended up in the hospital because she went too far. Another time she tried to end things completely but luckily she didn't take enough pills. Then after she got out of a treatment facility, her eating disorder started. As I kept reading, I could practically feel my eyes darken. No one was really there for her when she was starving herself to death. I slammed the folder shut and stomped over to Dylan's house. Pounding on the door, I could smell her inside getting closer. When the door opened she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Zane, what are you doing here?" I scanned her body for any kind of marks. I grabbed her arms and inspected her wrists and arms. There wasn't anything there. "Let go of me, Zane! What are you doing!?" She yanked her arm back and self-consciously wrapped her arms around her chest.

"Where did you do it? Huh? And you haven't even eaten anything yet today have you?" Her eyes widened and she took a step back. Away from me. My eyes dropped and I shook my head. "Oh my god. I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" A tear escaped from her cheek but she didn't let me try to comfort her.

"You don't get it do you?" She whispered. "I had nothing. I had no one. You don't understand how hard it is for me to believe that someone actually cares about me. You just walked into my life and changed everything and it's not that easy for me to adjust. That's why I-I didn't handle it very well when my dad left." A tear fell from my eye as I listened to her story. I swallowed the lump in my throat and tried to walked forward to her but she took another step back.

"D-Devina I know things have changed a lot," Another tear fell from my green eyes and landed on my Vans. "But please don't hurt yourself anymore. I really can't lose you Sunshine." She completely broke down and fell to the floor. I was quick to fall down next to her and pull her into my arms.

"What's going on? Devina?" Dylan came rushing out of his bedroom and put his hands on her shoulders. "Dev what's wrong?" I suppressed the growl from within my chest and moved away a little so he could get to her.
