"Can you guys imagine if my brain and body still developed normally and then yous met me. Id be like a pedo! maybe that's why this happened... fate works so weird."

Jasper and Alice were use to the girls rants in the car as she continued to stare out at the forest passing by.

"I got the knowledge of my 28 years of life and yet I am utterly and completely 18... nah more like a 14 year old boy who only cares for sexual innuendoes and doesn't understand math." Alice couldn't help but giggle at this while Jasper just shakes his head in amusement.

"We're here love." Alice says and Aleena snaps out her thoughts looking to see them pulling up to her house, she smiles lightly as the car stops leaning forward to the two at the front.

"I'll see you beautiful people in two days." Alice turns to look at her with a smile and Aleena leans forward planting a peck to her lips turning to see Jasper pouting playfully, shyly Aleena leans closer to him, with Alice being such a bottom it wasn't such a scary thing to make a move, with a clear more dominant lover Aleena was shy to have her first kiss with her male mate, but non the less is extremely happy when Jasper leans forward to finish connecting their lips in a quick harsh peck.

"Goodbye doll." Aleena grins at the two before climbing out the car and practically dancing into her house.

"It's not funny!" Bella shouts over the phone to Aleena who was currently looking after all her plants, flowers and herbs with her phone on speaker.

"I mean it is kinda funny. You sprained your hand because you punched a dude in the face."

"Not any dude! A werewolf!"

"Oh your right sorry bells im so intimidated by you right now." Aleena giggles, mocking her friend.

"Whatever. Can you believe in the mess of everything we graduate tomorrow." Aleena flinches,

"Aha yeah I know it's crazy. Listen Bella I'm kinda busy so I got to go but I'll see you later."

"Oh okay b-"

Aleena hangs up, cutting the brunettes goodbyes off and sighs flopping into a chair in the corner of the room.

Aleena loved life, she did. She had friends, family, a relationship and was doing well in educational aspects of her life. However Aleena also had a hatred for life, she didn't like change, she hated her body and the thoughts her mind tortured her with on a regular basis and she hated how dull life could be on some days. She didn't cope well sometimes with life, that much clear through her recovering eating disorder, intrusive thoughts and stress smoking. She was happy to be graduating with her friends and family, she was happy to see what was next, but she was also terrified and didn't know how to express it healthily.

So instead Aleena spent the night in her empty house smoking nearly a whole box of cigarettes and watching sad movies till she was sobbing so much she threw up, she did this with the mindset of if she fucked her life up for the night then she would be fine and able to cope tomorrow, even though her previous therapists told her this isn't how it works otherwise every other day she wouldn't continue to smoke, starve herself and look for self destructive actions to commit. But in Aleena's mind it made sense and she wasn't ready to accept it didn't.

When the witch woke in the morning she was ready to act the night did not exhaust her and as she threw a few protective, healing crystals to boost her energy throughout her many pockets she pranced downstairs in mock happiness where she prepares her cats food that her mother had bought and ignored the wrapped meal in the fridge meant for herself.

Going over to sit on the couch she sees a note picking it up to read:

So sorry I wasn't there when you woke. I had to pop into work but I'll be there for your graduation, I promise.
Love, mom.

Aleena doesn't get time to dwell on the fact her mother probably wouldn't be able to bring herself to her daughters second graduation as she hears a car honking outside, to which she is thankful for as she knows it would have knocked down her pretend aura of happiness.

Petting Ponyo before leaving the door she's quick to lock it and go running to the back of the silver car waiting for her.

"Hello my lovers." Aleena grins leaning forward and placing a peck on both of their cheeks.

"I'm so excited for today! Aren't you excited for today?" Alice says loudly and Aleena rolls her eyes playfully,

"Alice you've graduated a million times, what's there to be excited about?" Alice turns quickly while Jasper winces while driving, knowing what Aleena got herself into.

"This is a beautiful time! it's the end of a sector in life and we get to start a fresh and see people we have spent time with prepare to flourish! Not to mention the graduation party! So stop being a little moody witch and be happy with me."

"Okay okay! sorry damn." Aleena laughs leaning back in the car waiting to arrive at the dreaded building.
