------------------SAM ---------------------

After spending the majority of the afternoon practicing with the girls on cheers, and watching Chris and his team play soccer I went home.

As I walked in the door I felt something beneath my foot.

I picked it up to find another tax paper.

It was December 13th already, and we had till the end of the year to pay or else the house would be foreclosed.

I would be homeless in less than a month and I had no where to go.

I shook my head, and placed it on the side table .

He wasnt home so i busied myself with his dinner. I made him spaghetti with home made garlic bread.

I just had enough time to sneak into my room before I heard the motor to his car.

I held my breath, until I realized he had gotten his food and entered his room

I sighed and sunk to the floor.

I couldn't live like this forever!

Scared for my life, scared to even have a life!

I crawled into bed and plugged in headphones to my phone.

Chris said that I could keep it so we could text.

And we did, all night.

A smile lit my face as I thought about him.

He was so perfect!

And he was all mine!

All the girls would send me envious looks and I just reveled in it.

Chris had chosen me, when he could have had literally any girl he wanted.

He wasn't forcing me to move fast.

He was actually being a considerate boyfriend.

I smiled again at that word.

Boyfriend.

I finally felt normal.

Maybe, just maybe my life couldn't get better.

Maybe.

My eyes drifted closed as I let sleep take me, a smile on my face.

Hope implanted in my heart.

****

I stood in front of a lake.

It looked vaguely familiar then realization hit me.

It was Chris's lake. The one in front of his house.

What was I doing here?

I looked around taking in the scenery.

The bright moon reflected off the lake, creating its double.

I looked down, and saw my reflection.

I was surprised to see I was a wolf again.

I took time to admire myself.

I was beautiful.

My fur was all white with. My silver eyes shone brightly, creating an almost illuminant look.

I was so intent on my reflection, I didn't feel another presence until I heard the growl.

Fear ran down my spine as I spun around quickly.
