Hard to Love a Wolf [BOOK 1]

Chapter Twenty-Three

I had barely slept last night, but what I did was because I slept in my parent's bed with my mom, and my dad slept on the couch. I was now on the couch my dad was loading my parents stuff into the truck and they were getting ready to leave. Mom was packing up the last bag in their room. I haven't called Betty yet, but I was going to wait until mom and dad left.

Blayze almost didn't leave this morning, he almost stayed with me, but I told him I'd be fine. I'd rather be alone for a while anyway. "Adelina, come tell your father and I bye!" mom shouted from the front door, and I slowly got up. I had slept in a pair of underwear and one of Blayze's shirts. My dad shut the tail gate and made his way to where I stood on the porch. He wrapped his arms around my neck and pulled me into his chest, kissing my forehead, "Last chance, are you sure you don't want to go?" "I'm positive, dad" I tell him as I pull back a bit.

"We should be back on Tuesday, maybe Wednesday" "Go have fun, baby. Don't stay inside all day" "I won't" "Mister and Misses Wolf, I can assure you she won't" I looked around dad to see Veronica, Reggie, Betty, Jughead, Kevin, and even Archie. "Good! We need to head out, baby. We'll see you in a few days. Jones, you watch her" "Will do, Casper. Have a good trip" mom kissed my head before they made their way to the truck and started to leave.

I crossed my arms and looked to the people in front of my trailer, before just turning around and walking inside, leaving the door opened for them. I quickly sat back down in my spot on the couch, pulling the scratchy blanket that my great grandmother knitted back over me. "Have you eaten today?" Veronica asked as the lot appeared in my living room, taking seats about randomly. I just shook my head "No, I'm not hungry" I said as she took the closest spot next to me on the couch and reached over to grab my hand. "Is there anything you want to do, Adelina? It is the first day of summer" I shrugged at Betty's question.

My plans for today were for Sweetpea and I to go to the quarry then come back here for dinner. "Not really" "Let's have a movie day then" Reggie suggested from the other side of Veronica, and I nodded "That sounds good" "Okay, you go put some pants on and the boys will get a movie ready to play, and Betty and I will run up to Pops for food" I nodded and started to stand up, making my way past everyone and to my room, digging through my clothes before I found some pajama pants.

I went back to the living room and sat back in my seat, the girls and Kevin now gone, Jughead and Reggie talking about what kind of movie, and Archie quiet in his chair. "Ade, where's your bathroom?" Reggie asked, and I pointed to the hall but stood up anyway "I'll just show you" I tell him as he gets up to follow me. I walk him down the short hall and motion towards the open door "Light switch is on the left of the door" "Thank you" I nod and make my way to the kitchen.

I grab myself a can of coke before grabbing drinks for the other three and going back out, setting them on the table.

Veronica fell asleep using Reggie as a pillow, I had moved to the floor and made a pallet with some blankets that Kevin and Betty joined me on, and I was using Betty's thigh as a pillow while she used Kevin's chest. The sixth movie had finished and there were a few grunts around the room as everyone started to move.

I rolled off Betty and stretched my body, letting out a squeak from my mouth.

"Oh shoot, we told my mom we'd be home by 8" Betty said and started to get up. I looked at the clock on the wall, reading 9:18. Betty started to wake Veronica, and that's when I noticed Reggie also fell asleep.

Once everyone was awake, they started to make their way out and I walked to the door to see them out, giving them all tired hugs, even Archie. It was a little awkward for a second, but I pushed it away quickly.
