Secret Angel

Chapter 36-Comforting Friends

---

Breakfast went as I always dreamed it would be.

Elizabeth explained more about werewolves, the pack, Andrew, and what Lunas are.

My mother and Elizabeth became best friends, I knew they would.

Dad had to go in to the office, so he had to leave early, but what I could tell is that he liked her.

No one mentioned Drew, not my parents, Elizabeth nor I. No one brought him up.

"Are you sure you have to go?" I asked Elizabeth as I walked her out.

Just having her here, made me forget Drew for a hour or two.

"I better be off before anyone notices I've been gone." She said.

"You snuck out?" I asked, bewildered.

"No, I told Andrew." She said.

"Oh that's good." I said, opening the door for her.

"Thank you for checking up on me." I said as I grabbed her in for a hug.

"No problem, dear. We never really got to that topic today, but how about you come visit tomorrow?" She asked, rubbing my back.

"I would love that, but how could I get to your apartment without getting recognized?" I asked.

"Wear a black haired wig and put pink eye shadow on they will think your my niece." she said.

"Okay." I said.

"Okay, I have to go now, but be strong, I know it's hard Lily." She said giving me a pat on the back and going out to her car.

I shut the door and then ran up to my room.

I locked the door and then slip down the doorwall.

I put my head in my hands as a million thoughts rushed through my brain.

What if they know who I am?

What if I see Drew?

What am I going to say?

Will the pack members recognize me?

Tears came in to play as I realized, I have to put on a disguise to enter my old home.

I climbed into bed again and continued my crying.

And when I thought about my pack members, I thought about Drew.

And then the tears came harder.

My heart aches for his touch. Just to see him would mean the world to me.

I miss him so much.

***The next day***

I wake once again in a pool of sweat and tears on my pillow.

Another nightmare wakes me up for the second time tonight.

My parents must be too tired to realize I was screaming.

I lay back in my wet pillow, trying to go back asleep, but after ten more minutes I call it quits.

I put on a jacket and opened up the single window I have in my room.

I felt the cool breeze greet me once away.

I closed my eyes and made beautiful waves by my sides.

I felt my wings also, spread and gown drop to the ground.
