We make it to Sadie's when I finally realize that Lucifer's hand was on my leg the whole time, but I don't mind because he makes me feel safe. I lean over to Lucifer and kiss him before I get out of the car and walk up to Sadie's front door.
When I get inside Sadie is jumping up and down all excited about what she saw, and continued to ask over and over again who he was. I explain everything, starting with my parents, the money, school, and Lucifer, both the human and the cat. Sadie's eyes go shocked then she proceeds to ask about the scars and if she can see them. She has never seen me change, no one ever has.
"I don't know Sadie, no one has ever seen them and I hate to look at them myself."
"Please Alice, I won't stare"
"Fine, before bed"
"Okay, dinners done downstairs anyway."
Dinner was awkward, I hadn't seen Sadie or her parents for a while, they have changed so much since the last time I saw them. Sadie's little sister Sarah is now four years old, and her hair is so much longer then it was last year. Sadie's mom asked how everything was and I explained little as possible, all I said was that my dad kicked me out and Sadie said I could stay at their place until I find my own, which they both agreed on.
Once dinner was over Sadie drug me up the stairs, she had to pry her little sister off of me just so we could be left alone. Sadie shoved me into her room, she shut and locked the door and stared at me.
"Sadie... You don't want to see them" I say quietly
"I never once knew this about you, and you tell me everything. I want to see please Alice."
"Fine" I slowly pull off my shirt while facing away from Sadie looking into the large mirror.
Once my shirt is off I see all of the scars, stretching up my back, over my shoulders, on my sides and chest. The scars cover my top half, bad scars and smaller ones that'll disappear soon. I feel Sadie's hand run over the scars on my back slowly; I've never felt that before; she looks into the mirror at me. I can see how I'm taller and have a better fit and shaped body than her; but she is prettier than me, not by much but more guys look at her mostly because I have bright red eyes and it scares a lot of people.
"Sadie, what if he sees this and doesn't want me" I say blinking back tears
She turns me around and hugs me "He will love you Alice, every part of you"
"Thank you Sadie, I hope you're right"
"I always am, you know that" she replies with a smile "Now, let's watch a movie"
"Okay"
Iput back on my shirt and we both sit down on Sadie's bed and watch movies forthe rest of the night until we fall asleep holing each other from fear.
