chapter 1

this is a rewrite. even if you read the original you should this as well cause it has changed.

Chapter one

Every day it's the same for me. Go to work and come home. It's been four years since Anabelle died. I still live in her apartment, I even work with her old boss. Even Isabelle is still living across the hall. As much as I want to find my mate I can't find it in me to go back. They killed her there. Anabelle was dead. They're all murderers. It only took Ryan a week. He went nuts and shot himself in the head. He even left a note. Which read,

I couldn't shoot my heart because it was all I had left that belonged to her. I'm not sorry for leaving like this. Because I knew that nothing would fill the empty void I felt in my heart. The only thing I could regret is leaving you Mandy.

I was sad but I didn't cry. Wasting time crying and feeling depressed wouldn't change the fact that she was dead. I needed to live my own damn life. Which would not revolve around being depressed and hoping that it was all a bad dream. A year after the war ended I had shifted. I was with Isabelle at the time. Though she didn't freak like I had anticipated. She was just worried about me.

She had given up going to college in order to take care of me. And I was going to be forever grateful. Just about two years ago she married a man named jack. Isabelle was like a second mother to me. She tried to get me to open up but I wouldn't budge.

Kate asked me to go to the mall with her. So instead of sleeping in on this wonderful weekend I had to get my lazy ass out of bed. Kate is my best friend in the whole world. But sometimes were like two completely different people. Every time we go to the mall I have to dress up, because of her stupid 'reputation'.

Right as I stepped out of the shower my phone lit up for what had to be the tenth time this morning. Kate was clearly at the door. Quickly wrapping myself up, I went to let her into the apartment. Kate just barged passed me and went straight to my fridge.

"What? no hello, or good morning?" I exclaimed sarcastically. She looked at me with her best are you serious face she could create at seven in the morning, considering the circumstances. "Dove it wook wike I wanna kwow that?" she stated with a stuffed face. Kate was like a professional when it came to makeup and appearances. Which is why she is here right now. Totally not to eat my weeks food.

"You know how much I hate dresses and yet here I am!" the fake hatred dripping from my voice. "You're over reacting" and she was kind of right. I chose to be silent after that. She was just so concentrated.

It was just wow. I looked great. But looking great requires work. I'm a very lazy person. There is no way I'll do so much work every day especially in the morning. "Record timing Kate." She looked at me and then back at the clock. "What time did I get here?" I held back my teasing laugh so I wouldn't make her 'mad'. "About 7 so you spent a total two hours on me today" it took her a minute to remember her last time. Which was like two and a half. You could tell when she remembered because her face lit up. "You're right Mandy!" my face tightened when I winced. Wolf hearing and loud girly squeals are not a good mix.

"Come on lets go or we'll be late!" I practically yelled as raced out the door with my purse. I could hear her whiny hey from all the way down the hall. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. She was most definitely the rock that kept me going all these years.

She brought out the teen in me. I've got such little time left. I can't be nineteen forever. Now can I? The elevator dinged signaling the doors opening.

Rushing out I weaved through the busy lobby. "Morning Mrs. Welson!" I practically yelled over the noise. Mrs. Welson is the desk lady. "Morning john" he nodded his head at me as I rushed out of the door. He's the best door man this apartment will ever have.

As soon as the sun hit my face I stopped; I closed my eyes while taking in a deep breath. The warm spring air filled my lungs, but left just as fast. Opening my eyes again I quickly spotted Kate's car. It was hard not to. Her dark red convertible stood out against my dark blue army jeep.

Just as I started to walk a large force slammed against my back, scaring the living daylights out of me. A loud squeaky 'boo' rang in my ears.

Turning around with the biggest glare I could muster. I stared directly into the bright blue eyes of my best friend. Rather than being intimidated by me she laughed and walked over to her car door. "Coming or not? Jumpy pants." you could hear the teasing tone in her voice. "You'll get it Missy!"

As I entered the car she just laughed. Giving up my tuff girl persona I joined her. How could I not. She was just that type of person. When they laughed you just wanted to laugh along. No matter the mood.
