The Boy In The Woods

Chapter Thirteen

I managed to pull myself away from the group of wolves as they continued to dance to the music and have fun together I sat on the ledge and looked up at the now night sky; we'd been dancing all day, welcoming a new member of the pack, it's been exhausting. I sat on the ground with my knees to my chest and my arms wrapped around my legs keeping them in place, looking up at the night sky always use to calm me from my stresses or worries but now that I'm finding out that not who I thought I was strange and somewhat stressful as now I don't know if my friends will accept me or if they will ditch me.

I let out a sigh as I laid my head on the tops of my knees tightening my grip around my legs, being a werewolf has its benefits as now I have better hearing and smell. I only brought that up because I can hear someone walking up the stone steps that led up to the ledge. I lifted my head and took in a deep breath through my nose and could smell them getting closer, Wyatt's cologne.

"I can hear you" I stated, Wyatt, sighed behind me as he stopped walking.

"Can't get passed that new werewolf hearing, huh Riley?" He asked coming to sit next to me.

"Not anymore," I said placing my head on his shoulder, he placed his on mine as we looked over the town.

"You know, I never actually thought you would like me back," Wyatt said out of the blue.

"Really?" I asked, I honestly thought the same.

"When we were kids and I asked you to build a world with me, I thought it was just going to be something that wouldn't happen" he explained making me understand where he was coming from.

"Well, I'm happy to build a world with you" I smiled up at him, grabbed one of his hands and pulled him up off the ground and onto his feet. Wyatt looked at me confused until I placed his hands in positions for us to dance "just like last night" I smiled again seeing the confusion disappear from his face.

I close my eyes and I can see
A world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, if they call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design

'Cause every night, I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled with things from far away
Special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile on a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say we've lost our minds
See, I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy
Run away to a world that we design

'Cause every night, I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it's gonna take
Oh, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make
