Overwhelmed and underestimated

Birthday sadness

Elias POV

I barely had time to settle down in my room and wipe my tears before Casey came out of my bathroom in a towel. I giggle while trying my best to hide the fact that I had just been crying. "Casey did you break into my room?" I jokingly rolled my eyes at her while walking around her into my bathroom to do damage control before she notices my tears. "It's not breaking in if I have a key Ells." She says dropping the towel and standing completely naked in my room. I roll my eyes and wash the makeup and dried tears off of my face. "So for your birthday we can either go to the movies tonight to celebrate. Or we can go out to eat at that diner you like so much. Or we can stay in and play video games all night and sleep in class tomorrow." She says excitedly while rummaging through my drawers. I dry my face and come out of the bathroom to see Casey wearing one of my dresses. Hinting that I have options but she'd prefer to go out tonight. I bite my lips trying to decide what to say. I've just had my heart ripped out of my chest and I want nothing more than to hide under my covers and cry for the rest of the day. Maybe put on a face mask and take a long hot shower where I can cry in peace. Casey was waiting for me to respond with a, Hello! look on her face. "Lets go to the movies." I tell her turning around and heading back into my bathroom to take a shower. "Yes! I can't wait to see cute boys there" She shrieks excitedly. I don't care about cute boys, I just want Aries. "Hurry up! We have to do your birthday hair and makeup!" Casey yells from the other side of the bathroom door. "We are going to sit in a dark theater, can't I just go in sweats and put my hair up?" It's silent for a few seconds before Casey responds with a quick "NO." I laugh shaking my head wondering how two completely different girls could get along as well as me and Casey do. I hurriedly got ready and sat there for over an hour letting Casey do what she wanted with my hair and makeup. When she was done I admired myself in the mirror as I always do when she dolls me up. I smile at myself in the mirror remembering that just a couple of hours ago I was doubting myself and letting myself drown in negative emotions. I can't let myself doubt my self worth if I want to be a good Luna to this pack and a good mate to Aries. I want to show him that I can be what he and this pack needs. There's no time to self pity. I can change his mind.
