Closest

Chapter 3 (Picture of Maddison)

I slept like never before. I was laying in my huge comfortable king sized bed. I think I never slept that happy before. Happy to see Rob again, Alex, Andy, Jordan. I missed all of them like crazy and it impresses me that they waited for me. Just for me. Eight years. I don’t know how that is possible, but they actually did it. But now I am back and I am not planning on leaving.

I woke up, took a shower, and decided to wear something easy and casual today. I wanted to drive downtown and look what changed. Also I wanted to look after a few things for my medical room or my office, my doctor´s office. Whoa that’s sounds so … grown up.

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror. I looked good. I was wearing a nice black jeans and a red t-shirt mixed up with a red lipstick and earrings and my favorite boots I always wear. I love red, it fits so nice to my dark hair and it happens to be my favorite color. I looked up at the clock which was hanging on my wall. Quarter past eight.

I walked down in the kitchen but couldn’t find anyone. I guessed they all had to sleep and I had to change my routines to get that early up. I started to cook bacon, I made some fried eggs for all who are hungry and wanted some when they come in the kitchen. And before I could even get the bacon out of the pan, more and more people came into the kitchen. Guys are always hungry and it´s not better with werewolves, who smell everything. So I ended up making breakfast for everyone, which were thirty people. I felt like hours I was standing there but actually it was just half an hour until I finally got to eat something. Alex was standing next to me and talked to me the whole time which I was really glad for. He was eating with me and told me everything about his life.

After I moved to my grandparents, the town was laying there more lost and broken than ever before. Without me and my parents, who were known everywhere, was the city not the same.

He said that Rob destroyed the old pack house only a few months later after they died. Everybody could see his pain. On the place where the old pack house was he decided to build the “Fox Marsh Primary School”. He wanted to make something good for this town and since then he was an everywhere respected alpha despite his age.  He built a new and bigger pack house here on the hill.

Alex told me that mostly everybody stayed in this town after graduation except seven people. But nearly all of them came back after they graduated from college.

Alex went to college not when he was 18, he went to college when he was 21. He went to University of Oregon, in Eugene, Oregon. He told me that he was in the cross country team and won a lot of medals because of his werewolf qualities but he swore that he didn’t use them but I just laughed at him. Of course he used him. I know his one. He used them to get the girls.

He was also very shortly in the football team, the Oregon Ducks. But they were a bad team and every self centered so he left him. He joined the quote: “Sucks To Be A Duck”. I tell you I laughed for five entire minutes. Who comes to that silly quote?!

He also told me he broke up with his girlfriend Denise after he graduated from College last year and got back to Fox Marsh. He said that he heard she has already two kids now and is pregnant again but the father of her kids left her.

Alex is now working for Rob. Rob knows Alex as long as I know him, well I think a little longer. I am 25 now, Rob is 28 and Alex is 26. He organizes and watches out after the money the pack get and have to do to get it. To get more income, they opened a diner six years ago and a club called “D Bite” four years ago. It’s a really famous club and a really big one also. People from all the cities around come here only to go there. Even from Portland, which is confusing because in my old high school times my friends and I always drove to Portland because the clubs there were bigger and more interesting clubs.
