“He’s going to pick me up in like 30 minutes,” I told her. “t’s not that. It’s Nan. I can’t get a hold of her. I haven’t spoken to her since she left yesterday.”
Harper looked crushed for a moment as she wrapped her arms around her body.

mess than I was when she started.
I slowly stripped off my dress and put my pajamas back on threw my hair in a messy bun and went into the bathroom to wash off the streaks of makeup. The tears wouldn’t seem to stop. I shouldn’t be this upset over the fact that Gavin canceled on me.
It’s not like he’s my actual boyfriend or anything. We were only using each other for sex and to get people off our backs. I wanted Ethan off my back, and he wanted his family off his. That was all this relationship was… we both got something out of this deal and that was that. I knew what this was long ago, and I shouldn’t be feeling this kind of disappointment.
Yet, it seemed as if my wolf didn’t get the memo because she was crushed just as she was when Ethan left us for someone else. I told myself I was never going to feel that way again and now I was the one being a fool.
I decided to just stay in my room for the rest of the night. I didn’t want to face Harper and tell her that my plans fell through; I wasn’t sure I’d be able to handle her emotions and Chester’s emotions, along with dealing with my own. So, it was better if I just stayed in my room and tried to get some sleep.
I left early the next morning for school, successfully avoiding both Harper and Chester. I didn’t want them asking me how my night was…I didn’t want to talk about it. Leroy was waiting outside for me as he was every morning that I had school.
When he dropped me off at school, I thanked him before getting out of the car. I was grateful to be at school. It meant I was finally going to be able to see Nan and talk to her. I glanced at my phone with a frown; she hadn’t tried to call or text me for the rest of the weekend and I was worried about her. But hopefully, my questions will be cleared up once I saw her today.
