It had been a very strange week for James Howlett. After the night Esme came to his room, things seemed to have spiraled out of control. Emma had taken him aside and done something to his brain. He'd known she was doing it, and he sort of wanted her to.. He knew that this wasn't right. He was confused and upset and things seemed to clear up some, after Emma had changed him. He felt a little more stable. He was more confident that he could handle things.
But there were still several people in the house who were angry with him, and he wasn't sure how to deal with it. He knew he wouldn't have made the same choices now that he did back then, but that didn't make it right. He remembered what he'd done, and he still felt bad about it. He'd tried apologizing to Rose and Rachel, but both girls were still very angry with him. It would take time, had been the advice Emma had given him, and he took it to heart. He'd been trying to stay out of the girls' way.
He was thinking of Rachel, now. He really cared for her. He could tell their relationship had been declining for a while, with her unwillingness to put up with his stupid emotional immaturity. He wished he could make her see that he wasn't what he once was. He wasn't sure if he'd been using Rachel, or if he'd been letting her use him, but either way, their relationship hadn't been healthy. They could've been so much more. She was beautiful. The touch of her skin, the scent of her body..
He was nearly at the door of the kitchen before he realized that Rachel's scent wasn't just in his mind, but that she was standing in the room ahead of him. He mumbled a quiet apology for having disturbed her and turned around, starting back down the hallway. He could find some food somewhere else.
