I somehow managed to sleep well into Friday and I was grateful for the few extra hours.

Alec and Kade’s words swam in my head like hungry sharks.

They said I belonged to them, and for whatever reason the feeling was mutual. No matter how hard I resisted, some part of me felt they were mine. That the twins belonged to me.

I kept to my room most of Friday, only dare venturing out when I knew Melissa was at work. Frank was the biggest risk. S**t would go downhill instantly if he was awake.

It must’ve been my lucky day. As I tiptoed downstairs, Frank was snoring away in his recliner. I managed to grab another box of leftovers from the restaurant and creep back up to my bedroom. I couldn’t wait until I managed to get out of this h**l-hole. Sneaking around my own house was miserable. Constantly tiptoeing around, hoping I didn’t step on a land-mine.

My Friday was spent in complete solitude, and I was thoroughly enjoying it. Either Frank was completely unaware I stayed home from school, or he simply didn’t feel like bothering me.

Melissa left me alone the entire day, not that she made it her mission to talk to me. I texted back and forth with Tori a little bit, commenting as she gave me a run down on her day. Autumn and I texted a little as well, but it was mostly about what Autumn planned to wear to the party Saturday. While Autumn had a dress and heels picked out, I planned to take the comfortable route.

The remainder of my Friday was spent thinking about Alec and Kade. I wanted to resist the, but why did I miss them so much? Why did I wish they were with me?

I went to bed Friday afternoon, ready for another night of blissful sleep. Sleep was a break from the stress my conflicting emotions were bringing on me.

Unfortunately, tonight would provide me with little rest.

I woke in the middle of the night, sitting straight up in my bed as my heart hammered away.

A deafening c***h of lightning had ripped me from my strange dream. This particular dream featured Alec and Kade.

I was dreaming about a girl, a girl I had never met before. She sure seemed to know me. She was yelling at me, but I felt no danger from her. ‘Clean your d**n ears out and start listening to me’, she yelled. Followed by, ‘Quit fighting Alec and Kade, stupid. They belong to you.’

While it was an interesting dream, I couldn’t see it changing anything. It was simply a reflection of my subconscious, telling me what I wanted to hear.

While I found the intense storms quite beautiful, I wasn’t used to them. Moving to Georgia had exposed me to a whole new side of the weather.

I was used to the dry heat, and desert-like surroundings. Georgia was so green, so intense with it’s humidity and storms.

I shuffled out of bed and to the bathroom, walking over to the window once I came back to the bedroom.

The thick ledge by my window was probably my favorite thing about the small bedroom. I could squeeze right onto the ledge and watch the intense storms.

I kept my eyes trained on the forest, half expecting to see the two wolves looking up at me. Admittedly, I was disappointed when I didn’t see their familiar dark eyes. I wasn’t sure how long I saw on the window sill. The rain had gradually faded, leaving behind a wet afterglow on the forest and grass.

Once my legs and back were stiff from sitting on the windowsill, I trudged back to bed and hoped sleep would finally claim me.

I woke sometime in the afternoon. Peaking my head from my bedroom, I crept down the hall and into the bathroom. My shower was a total of four minutes, any longer would simply be a risk.

Melissa was home from work today, meaning I would have to be extremely careful when leaving my room. I applied the concealer to the fading marks on my neck, courtesy of Alec and Kade.

My dinner consisted of a couple granola bars I had leftover from a few days ago, and a tall bottle of water.

I worked on some overdue homework while lounging around my bedroom. By the time I was finished, it was nearly time for Autumn to pick me up for the party.

I wasn’t exactly looking forward to said party. I was simply going for Autumn, and the fact that Tori would be there only encouraged me further.
