She turns away from me, but I saw tears in her eyes. She tried to hide it by crossing the room to a dresser and then coming back with a pair of socks. She is looking down at the bed at the clothes and then started moving the piles out of the way. It is about 230 in the morning, and we are all tired. Stella comes up with about three night outfits. Two nightgowns, and one camisole set. I grabbed one of the nightgowns and headed back into the bathroom.
They were speaking quietly between them when I came back out. Amanda gave me my plate, and I unwrapped my sandwich quickly. I didn’t get much at dinner last night, and I was starving. It could also be from the extra exercise that I got letting Emerald out last night too. I drank my drink and left the bag of chips. I haven’t had chips before, and I was full anyway.
“Raven, I will hope you would give this pack a chance. I think you will fit in perfectly here. Don’t get in a hurry to leave. You can always get a job and stay here, work for our pack. You would not be protected in the human world. It is a dangerous place, especially for a woman alone. Just rest tonight, and we can talk about it tomorrow when we get up. Don’t worry about setting an alarm. Stella can sleep in with you as well, I am giving her tomorrow off of training to help get you acclimated to Blood Walker. We can talk later on today after you get up. I can tell that you are exhausted, so get some sleep girls. Stella, please do not talk her ear off all night, you both need the rest”
Amanda told us with a smile. She walked to her daughter who was walking up to the bedroom door. Amanda gave her a kiss on her forehead and a hug before leaving the room.
I feel my eyes burn again, as I acknowledge that I want that. I want to be kissed goodnight by someone who loves me. Who am I kidding? I just want someone, anyone, to love me. Someone to care what happens to me, and to keep me from harm. Someone I can depend on. I have to turn away from Stella as I do not want her to see me crying. It seems like all I can do right now, and I am doing a good job of being silent when Stella steps up next to me. I don’t usually cry, for anything, but in the last few hours, I have cried several times. I had turned away from her when my eyes started burning. I didn’t want to embarrass myself. Stella gives me a side hug, and tells me,
“You are staying with me. I am so excited to be getting to have a sleepover. I don’t get to do this much, so I am sorry that I am so excited about it. Some of the girls try to befriend me to try to hook up with my brother, so I just stay to myself for the most part. But you are not like them. I saw how my brother, Joshua was frowning at you. I can see you didn’t like his bad attitude, me either. He is good friends with Carter and is already his regular jerk self. You can sleep in my bed. It is a King size, and we will both have plenty of room. I can also make up my couch, but that is less fun. We can talk to each other about our favorite things and play 20 questions, I read a lot about fun games to play for sleepovers when I googled it while you were in the bathroom.”
“I can sleep on the couch, it is no problem. It is your room, and I am the guest. I really don’t mind doing it”
I tell her, and I realized that her going on and on got me past my pity party. Stella is distracting me and trying to make me happy, and she is the nicest person that I think I have ever met. I am already more comfortable around her than anyone else I have ever been around. I was jealous seeing her mother being so nice to her, wishing that I had been able to have that too. My mother had never kissed me, or hugged me, not even when I was in the hospital after being pushed off the bridge. My mother was very formal with me, she was even kind of formal with Reagan, that is just how she is. I couldn’t stop myself from resenting my parents even more. Why did the Goddess allow them to be my parents? Why couldn’t I have been born into a nicer family?
“No, you are my guest, and I want you to get to sleep in my bed”
Stella dug in and told me. She went to the bathroom and plugged in a nightlight before turning out the light in the bathroom. She then motioned to the bed as she turned out the light in the room and it was pretty dark in her. Stella got in on her side and then said,
“So Raven, what is your favorite color?”
before she laid down and turned towards me to hear my answer.
“My favorite color? I don’t know, I have never thought about it”
I told her.
“Well think about it. I will tell you mine. I like emerald green the best. I have a lot of shirts in that color. I will see if you want some of them tomorrow, as I bet that they are going to make your eyes pop”
Stella tells me. I can’t even figure out what color I like still, and Stella is just going on.
“Emerald is my wolf’s name,”
I tell her absentmindedly as I keep thinking about my favorite color.
