My Story as a Horse Shifter [#1]

Chapter 29

As the phone was ringing, I started getting really nervous.

I hope things aren't awkward between us.

After a few rings, I heard Michael pick up.

"Melody, are you alright? What happened?" he asked, completely worried.

I felt so guilty and immediately regretted leaving.

"Yeah, Michael I'm fine. Don't worry, just breathe," I said, trying to calm him down.

"I'm sorry. It's just that everyone was so worried about you. I was looking for you everywhere and then Max told me that he sent his friend to go look for you."

I was pretty sure he didn't know anything about horse shifters or werewolves.

"Well, I didn't mean to worry you guys. I'm sorry for making you guys worry so much," I said, sadly.

"Mel- is it ok if I call you that?" he asked, interrupting his own sentence.

"Sure."

"Mel, you don't need to apologize. It wasn't your fault. I'm sorry I acted the way I did. I just have one question," he said, pausing.

What's with the tense moments? First Max, now Michael? What's going on here?

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Are you mad at one or both of us?" he asked, sounding nervous.

I let go of a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"Not at all. I mean sure, you guys might've overreacted a little but I also tried running away from my problems. We all made mistakes so it's okay, I forgive both of you," I said, starting to feel like I got a huge load was taken off my back.

"Well thanks for understanding. I'll let you call the others now," he said.

"Bye," I said and hung up.

I started dialing Kat's number. She picked up after two rings.

"Melody? Are you okay? How are you? What happened?" she asked, even more worried than the others.

"Woah, Kat, chill. Look, I called so you wouldn't be worried about me. I'm fiiine, don't worry," I said, laughing softly.

"Heyyy, don't laugh at me! And yeah sorry, I kind of overreacted. I was really scared. I saw you in between Max and Michael. It looked like they were fighting for you. Do you mind telling me what happened?" she asked.

I told her everything and when I finished, it was getting late.

"Wow, looks like your life has lots of drama to it," she said, chuckling.

"Tell me about it. Oh and I wanted to tell you something you probably didn't know already."

"Yes?" I said, excited.
