Chapter 132: Chapter 132
"Or I could send Lily to do it" that did it, he looked horrified. "Exactly." I stood on my toes and whispered to him "And you better tell him what you are soon" I pulled back and smiled "Okay, I should get going now"

I walked out of the airport to be greeted by a huge hug from Grace "Hey sis" I said happily hugging her, realising just how much I had missed her.I pulled away and looked at my parents "Mom. Dad"
"Hello, darling. I see you haven’t lost any weight and what are you wearing? I swear I never understood why you didn’t let the designer get clothes to make you look better"
"Missed you too mom" I grumbled and turned and hugged my dad "Sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye dad."
"It’s okay, finally done with living poor? Do you need any money? I wouldn’t mind giving you considering the situation you put yourself in"
"I’m fine dad" I gritted my teeth, this was going to be a long vacation
and two days later I knew I was right. I guess moving going from Adrian and Lily and the..pack and going back home was weird, I had gotten used to not being so criticized and for a while I thought I was maybe a bit important, but my parents were quick to remind me how imperfect I was.
Adrian and I had kept contact and talked almost every night, his voice always made me feel better and I just wanted to go to him, I didn’t care if he was a werewolf, I wouldn’t argue him being my soul mate, I’d be so lucky.
"Are you even listening to a word I’m saying, Nate?" My mom snapped me out of my thoughts."Of course you haven’t you aren’t as focus as Grace is. Anyway, like I said I’m going to need you to buy a proper dress for the party, the dress you brought isn’t good, it’ll make all your fat show, buy a dress that may make you look thinner. And for gods sake use makeup this time."
"Okay, mother" I said "Anything else?"
"Yes" her mother said looking at her seriously "I have invited a couple of special guests who would think about a relationship with you. Please try your best to impress"
"whatever mother" That will never happen, I knew it but I didn’t need another argument. I got up and walked to my room, throwing myself on my old bed. I took out my phone and called Adrian, it hadn’t even rang once when he answered
"Hey, Nate. How are you? I miss you"
"I miss you too" I said smiling, feeling tears stinging at my eyes "And I’m good, you?"
"I’ll be better when you’re here"
"The party is tomorrow and I’ll be back home the day after" I sighed and closed my eyes "I really do miss you"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I guess I just didn’t expect to think of home as over there, not here. I want to go back."
"Like you said its only one day. 24 hours, and we’ll see each other." his voice comforted me and I felt the tears slip at how much I wanted to go, but I didn’t let it show in my voice.
"Yeah you’re right. Tell me anything...what did you do today?" I said not wanting to hang up, I just wanted to get lost in his voice alone.
"Well the twins decided it would be funny to fill Lily and Ethan’s bed with bubble wrappers. You should have seen Ethan’s face when he got out of the room, in only his boxers looking mad as hell. Apparently the bubbles interrupted a very...special time."
I laughed the first real laugh since I got on that train. "What did he do?"
"Let’s just say the twins are forced to do the pack’s laundry for a week...Oh...sorry...should I have said pack?"
"Yeah...its okay, I really don’t mind Adrian.I accept that your a werewolf"
"You do?" I could almost see him grinning
"I do"

I walked on the the empty pathway , lost in thoughts. I didn’t think I was ready for this, but seeing as I was going back home after Grace’s birthday party tonight I knew I needed to do it, doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
"Nate? Is that you?" I heard a familiar sound and froze as I turned around and I was greeted by a person I never wanted to see again. The similarities were striking, same hair, eyes and cheekbones.
"Nigel" I said, trying to keep mmy face emotionless, but I didn’t expect to see Luke’s brother anywhere near this town, considering their family moved away a while ago. "What are you doing here?"
"Car broke down, this was the nearest town in my way. I haven’t seen you in so long, Nate. You know Luke has been asking about you" he winked at me and I felt the bile rise in my throat.
"I don’t want anything to do with him" I said trying to seem confident.
