The New Girls

Chapter 7

It is June 6th now and the preparations for Olivia's wedding were almost finished. Invatations were sent last week and the bachelorette party was ready to go. Olivia's birthday party was also planned. Olivia was over the moon with excitement; her birthday was on the fourteenth, her bachelorette party on the twentieth, and her wedding on the twenty-second.

"We need to get your party planning going." Olivia explained.

"How about we focus on your parties first. " I answered sternly.

"What's the fun in that? " Olivia said sarcastically.

"It may not necessarily be fun but it's smart." I replied annoyed.

"Why are you being such a sour-puss?" Olivia questioned.

"Because I don't want to deal with my parties before yours are even over, I can't stress about all five at once." I said calming myself.

"Ok, fair enough." Olivia threw her hands up in surrender.

"Thank you." I said calming down.

"So about my parties I don't want to see Clay twenty-four hours before the wedding." Olivia demanded.

"I figured that already, I have your bachelorette party two days before the wedding just in case of a hangover and an extra mattress in my apartment." I explained.

"That's perfect. Why did I ever doubt you?" Olivia joked.

"You always question me and I always pull through." I laughed.

"I gotta stop that." Olivia admitted.

Olivia and I laughed as we ate the salads I made. We went over to my couch and flipped on a movie. I drifted off to sleep not really realizing I did.

"Carter....Carter.......Carter!" Olivia woke me.

"What? what happened?" I questioned sleepily.

"You fell asleep during the movie but I gotta go so I'll see you later." Olivia announced walking out my door as I went back to sleep.

"Babe....Carter...." Nick tried waking me.

The next thing I knew I was picked up from the couch and taken to my bed.

"You know how long it's been since I was carried to bed." I said sitting up in bed.

"Yeah, well your brother had to go to sleep since he is still here." Nick answered unhappily.

"I know ok, I will talk to him right now." I announced getting up walking to the living room.

"Hey sis, what's up?" Aaron asked.

"Nick and I would like some space and we're wondering how much longer you'd be staying here." I stated innocently.

"Oh, I guess I can leave tomorrow if that's what you want..." Aaron responded hesitantly.

"Oh don't be like that....I don't want to feel bad that you have to leave. I am sorry." I said irritated.

"Like what? And don't, I do need to leave." Aaron admitted.

"Thank you for being understanding." I said and went back to my room.

"And?" Nick asked.

"He's leaving tomorrow no problem." I stated grabbing clothes going to the bathroom.

"Good. We have to start getting ready for the parties going on so soon." Nick said as I left.

I jumped into the shower and got dressed in shorts and a tank-top. I walked back into my room bidding Aaron goodnight. I laid next to Nick trying to get comfortable while Nick was already fast asleep. I got up not being able to sit still, I put a sweater on then walked into the kitchen. I grabbed a glass of water and sipped until I got bored. I silently walked back into my room slipping on some jeans. I grabbed my keys and without waking anyone up walked to the car. I drove fourty-five minutes to this wooded area I haven't been to in a while. I went several paces into the woods away from the trail and took off my clothes. I turned slower than I normally had and went running. It was the first time I had ever went running by myself. I was mid-way through my run before I exhausted myself but I heard a loud BOOM...before everything went dark. I woke up several miles from where I was before still in wolf form. It was daylight and this pounding pain was in my side. I looked to the ground to see a pool of blood, my blood. I started to panick and had no idea what to do. I slowly turned to my human form trying not to lose more blood than I already had. When I finally got all the way back, I stumbled to the nearest road putting pressure on the wound. I tripped on something falling to the ground finding pavement beneath me. I laid in the road wishing, and hoping someone would find me. I blacked-out once more.
