Rockelle's POV:

"There has to be someone who can take a teenage girl like you in Rockelle", asks my Social worker MaryAnn.

 I sit quietly not saying a word. She sighs and looks up from her computer.

"I can't help you if you don't answer my questions".

I bet you're wondering what in the world is going on. You see I'm a sixteen year old girl who nobody wants my parents abandoned me when I was 13 and I've been on the run ever since. Technically I guess they didn't really abandoned me they died but it sure feels like it. Well today my social worker found me and that's how I got to where I am and of course you know my name it's Rockelle. I grab my things ignoring her question and walk out of her office.

"ROCKELLE", she hollers and follows after me.

"Stop running away Rockelle, I'll just find you again you know that so stop running", she said hoping I would stop.

Sure enough it worked I stop and slowly turn around.

"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME JUST LEAVE ME ALONE", I yell at her causing a commotion.

 "You say you care but you really don't you're all terrible people I don't need anyone, I'm fine on my own", I say in a rude and relentless tone.

"Please don't talk to me that way Rockelle I deserve a little more respect than that... Please come back into my office so we can talk", MaryAnn begs me I just scoff as I walk out of that building.

"Yeah right MaryAnn I'm out of here", I say as the doors close behind me.

I turn the corner and walk a couple of blocks to the Starbucks at the end of the street and I walk down the alley way.

"Come here girl", I call out to an orphan puppy and she comes out.

"Hey Lani come on it's time to go home", I tell her as I start walking out of the alley.

Only to run into a teenage boy who might I say was cute. He looked at me curiously.

"What are you looking at huh", I say harshly.

He snapped back surprised at how I spoke to him.

"Nothing I was just curious as to way you were walking out of the alley", He tries to explain.

"Shut up just keep walking", I respond rudely and walk down the sidewalk as he watches me leave and walk into another alley.

"What is this feeling he gives me" I talk to my self. 

He follows me. I jump over the fence at the back of this alley way. Once I hear him jump over I know instantly i'm being followed and I turn around.

" Why are you following me", I ask him curiously as I stand there waiting for an answer.

" I wanna know where you're going", he replies.

" Well stop it, it's creepy", I respond politely.

" Well you shouldn't be out here alone", he says.

"Well being an orphan you get used to being all alone", I tell him and turn around and continue to walk.

" You're an orphan", he asks softly.

I chose not to respond to that and keep walking until I see the wall i'm looking for.

"Well it's time for you to go back home now", I tell him.

"I didn't catch your name" he says politely.

I laugh and respond "It's because I didn't give it".

"Well can I have your name at least", he asks as I climb up onto the wall.

"It's Rockelle, Now what's yours", I ask amused.

"It's Wade", he replies as I stand up on the wall.

"Well Wade this is where I say goodbye", I say my goodbye as I jump off the wall and on the solid ground at the other side of it.

The puppy follows me climbing up on boxes and onto the wall jumping off into my arms. Wade looks over the wall and sees where I have been sleeping at.

"You sleep here", he asks me.

Without a comment I took off my backpack and threw my bags on the ground.

"Home sweet home and yes I live here", I reply to his question.

"Ok well you shouldn't be living here alone", he scolds me.

"I DON'T NEED TO BE SCOLDED BY YOU", I holler at him.

"Look I'm sorry", he says as he hugs me.

I wait a minute before I hug him back not wanting to let go.

"Um Rockelle are you alright", he asks me curious to hear my answer.

"Yeah I just feel like I should hold on to you longer almost as if your gonna leave me", I explain to him confused as to why I was holding on to him like that.

"Look I can stay if you want me to", he said worrying about me.

"You can't because I'm a monster and I'm gonna hurt you and I would never forgive myself", I explain to him with tears in my eyes.

"If your talking about you being a werewolf then I disagree", he comforts me.

"How do you know I'm a werewolf!" I ask suspiciously.

"I just do I can't explain it to you now but your not a monster." He defends himself.

"You don't know me you don't know who I am, I'm a monster, a disgrace, Im", he cuts me off with a kiss.

"Now are you done hating on yourself, cause none of its true now stop that ok", he tells me his point of view about me while i stand there shocked trying to decide whether I should hit him.

I fall to the ground and start crying he starts to panic and try to make me feel better in the end all he can do is sit there and hold me.

"Jeez", he says while sighing quietly as I let the darkness consume me while I hold onto him. He starts running his fingers through my hair.
