Marci's POV

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Shit! I reached my arm to my nightstand and hit my alarm turning it off. I hope my dad didn't hear that other wise i'd be in for another beating. Slowly i got up and immediately i winced. I went into my bathroom and turned on the water. While waiting for the water to turn warm, I took off my clothes and looked in the mirror. While most of my cuts have healed, I could see that my broken rib hadn't healed completely but was now only a fracture instead of being broken. I had multiple bruised on my chest and stomach, and a couple on my arms from where i tried to protect myself. 'Well, looks like we will be wearing long sleeves today huh Jenna?' I asked my wolf. She just whimpered and moved to the back of my mind. Isn't she the perfect friend? I get into the shower and 5 minuets later, I'm out of the shower with a towel rapping around my body. I walk to my closet and after I put on my black lace panties and black bra. Then I put on black skinny jeans that hugged my curves, a whit long sleeve undershirt, and a black sweat-shirt.

With my clothes now on, I walk downstairs, careful not to wake up my dad, and go to the kitchen. Then I made bacon and eggs for my dad and quickly left to go to school. Since i'm a 'no good daughter', I don't have a car and so I have to walk. 30 minuets later, i limp into school. Immediately, every one started whispering and a bunch of eyes where on me. I heard 'Bitch, Whore, and Slut' while walking by bunch of girls. While walking to get to my locker, a few people spat on me, and the girls who called me names came to my locker. As soon as I closed my locker, the leader of the group and also known for being the school slut Britney, slapped me and shoved me to the ground.

"Hey slut, how you doing?" she asked mockingly while standing overhead of me. This is a daily routine. Every day, Britney bullies me like everyone else in the school. No one knows what happens at home and I've made sure it stays that way. Jenna growls in ager but i keep my lips shut and look away. "Awww, does the slut not want to talk?" she said. Britney laughed and she spat on me. Her group took turns and everyone spat on me. Once they were done, I picked my self up and instead of going to class went to the music room. On the way there, everyone spat and cursed at me, but like usual, I just kept my head down with my mouth shut and kept walking. I reached the music room and like usual, no one was here.

That's why i always come here. The music room is and always has been my little sanctuary, because no one is ever here. I come here everyday instead of going to class, and I do what I can never do at home. I cry. I don't just cry though, I sing. When I sing, tears stream down my face, but no one will ever know, and no one will ever care. I know that this happens and I can't help it.

I walk to the corner of the room where the huge window is. I sit down and sunlight streams all over my body. Based on my horrible mood, I pick one of my favorite sad songs: My Immortal by Evanescence. All I could think of was my mate, and my hopes that one day he would be the one to wipe away all of my tears.

Cole's POV

I woke up to hear my wolf Jack screaming in my head. 'Go to mate! She's in pain!' I immediately sat up. What! Why is she hurt!? Either way it's time to go to school. I get up and take a cold shower trying to calm Jack down. After I shower, I grab a tight black shirt that shows off my muscles and some blue jeans. I go downstairs and grab some breakfast that my mom already created and got into my black camaro. I walked into school and everyone bowed in respect to me before I met up with my friends. Jason is my Beta and also my best friend.

"Hey dude, what's up?" he asks. Jason only sees me as an Alpha when he needs to, so normally he is always calm and casual around me. "Nothin' much," I answer "But I think I may find my mate soon. Jack has been bugging me non stop." He smiles "Congrats dude!! You got to show me her when you find her!" he says so loud he's almost yelling. We get a few stares but we just keep walking. "I will, I will." i said after i finished laughing at his reaction. We get to class and we start to walk in when Jack breaks the wall I put up and yells 'You stupid Asshole!!!!! Your mate is here!!!' Now i 'm fully aware. "Look, I'm gonna skip, i'll see you at lunch." I said to Jason.

I walk down the now empty hallway and all of a sudden, i smell the most enticing scent. I smell vanilla and strawberries. i follow the scent down the hallway and i hear the voice of an angel singing one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. I listen and now tears are starting at my eyes. I walk closer and I find myself at the music room. Now, I can hear the lyrics loud and clear :

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

While she's singing these words, i peak my head into the room and see the most beautiful sight I had ever seen in my life. I see a beautiful girl looking out the window with tears streaming down her face while she sings these sad beautiful words. I look and i see that she is the only one in the room. Breaking me from my trance, Jake says, in an obviously happy but yet sad voice at the sight we see, 'Mate'.
