One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Hailey's POV

Theodore decided to drive me to the airport, fly with me and drop me off at school. He flew us private and I'm not sure if he was showing off or trying to impress me but I was too troubled to try think of how I felt about being in a private plane with some lady serving me endless cups of ice cream.

My thoughts were consumed by one boy.

Jaxon.

He left on the day of the funeral without saying goodbye. He did not even tell anyone he was leaving, he just left. Leaving behind all of his clothes behind and having me travel back with all of it. I don't know why I didn't have his number in my phone and why he didn't think to reach out and apologize for leaving me on such a hard day.

When it was time for Theo to leave, he left me with a credit card, a stack of cash and an address to some house just close by in case I need him.

Did I need the money? No. Did I fight him on it? No.

He wants to find a way to my heart, maybe buying me is his way and if I was in a better state of mind then I'd tell him that this was not the way to do it but I'm not in my right mind.

I won't pretend for his benefit that I am. I won't even try force a smile on my face because I'm hurting, I have to digest so much and also deal with the pain of losing the only parents I knew.

Many would say, well you have one more father! Why not use the opportunity given to you to build a relationship with him?

I just can't.

Not right now. Not when I must first deal with the fact that my mother lied to me, my mother, who can't even explain the letter and the big secret she kept from me all these years. Every damn day she would wake me up and shower me with love, cook me breakfast. Make memories and watch me cry for a man that was not my father. Yes, she pleaded with me to see him for who he was and how he treated me but maybe if I had known that he wasn't really my dad, maybe I would've been more open to seeing his true self.

Numbness.

I saw a picture of Jaxon with Azuri, the caption saying that she would be back at school with her long term

picture or just when I'm back and still mourning the death of my parent, I have to deal with being the girl Jaxon

I honestly wanted to feel something but I couldn't. Everything they said I was feeling, betrayal or used I didn't feel. That I should be feeling some added grief from seeing this picture and the fact that everyone knows that Jaxon traveled with me
