The last few weeks have been a bit lonely. I've been spending a lot of time with my grandparents and I'm still not really in good terms with my mother. We do talk, but I'm still a bit touched by the fact that she is keeping me away from the pack. I understand that it's hard and that's it's all very confusing for her, but I'm a part of the pack. I need to be with them. As I lay back on my bed, I can't seem to think about anything else. I sigh harshly and check my phone for any updates.
Hours go by. As I lay on my bed, I can hear the sound of my ringtone play. I immediately look up and grab it. I set the phone next to my ear without even looking at the caller ID and say my name loudly. "You're in a good mood" the voice says. I laugh softly and lay my body back on my bed with the phone pressed against my ear. "Scott" I say and quickly continue. "Can't be happier to hear your voice." "How have you been?" He asks in a curious tone. "I'm fine, yeah. A bit lonely. Missing you all like crazy." Scott lets out a soft laugh and before he can continue the conversation I ask him the same thing. He answers quickly and simple. He immediately changes to some other subject after replying. "You've been talking to Isaac a lot, right?" I nod slowly, even though I know he can't see me. Just a moment after, I speak up again. "Yeah." "He misses you.." A half-smile appears on my face, but quickly fades away again. "Did he tell you that?" "It shows, all the time" Scott says while he takes a deep breath in the middle of the sentence.

It's been exactly six weeks since I've left Beacon Hills. I've found a job and I've been working a lot lately. It takes my mind off things and I'm earning some money, so I can't complain. I still miss my friends and even though I talk to them daily, It's different. I'm extremely happy to be around my grandparents again, but I would love to go back.
I've been working in a café and I've been enjoying some of the company. It's 5:43PM and I'm cleaning the last few tables. I look up and push some bits of my hair behind my ear. A guy who, from the looks of it, is around my age walks in and gives me a polite smile. I greet him and give him my kindest smile back and continue with what I was doing. As I stand up straight, I notice the boy is now standing behind me. "Can I help you?" I ask while taking a step back. "Yes, sorry. I was wondering if I could use the men's room real quick?" He asks before showing me another kind smile. I nod my head slowly while looking down, but immediately after that I answer him. "sure, it's down the hallway" I say and point towards the hallway. "Thanks" he answers and he walks towards the toilet. I watch him as he finds his way and walk back to the bar. I take my apron off and hang it on the door as I grab my bag. The moment I look up I notice the same boy is now standing in front of me, again. "Can I help you with any else?" I ask as he gives me a nice smile and his facial expression immediately turns into full confusion. "Yeah... I was wondering if I could use the men's room.." Now I'm the one who's confused. I wait for a minute and continue to stare at him in full shock, confusion. "Didn- I just..." I start to chuckle and give him a bit of a funny look. "So you changed your outfit and came back in again to ask me the exact same thing?" I ask while I continue to chuckle. He gives me a funny, but confused look. At that moment someone comes out of the men's room and my sight goes to the person coming out. The boy who's standing in front of me begins to laugh and shakes his head. "Sorry for the confusion, that's my brother Aiden. I'm Ethan" he enlightens me. I nod softly. "I thought I was going crazy.. Nice to meet you" I say before I tell them my name. "Are you new here?" Aiden asks as I watch Ethan walk towards his brother. I observe them both for a moment and reply with a simple nod. "Where are you from?" "Beacon Hills.. I'm staying here for a while, but not for long" I say while I hope for it to be true. They both smile at me. "Beacon Hills... Nice. Maybe we'll see you again one day" Aiden says and gives his brother a look. I watch how they walk towards the door, but before they leave, I speak up. "You had to go to the men's room, didn't you?" I ask while I lean on my toes to get a better view of the direction towards the door. "I'm all good now."
