Shock flashed across Ash's face, and she smiled, rapping me into a bear hug. I laughed at this and hugged her back. I looked out my window and stared at the darkened skies, a symbol of what the future may bring, but I knew that after everything that has happened it will be okay.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

We broke away from the hug and Ash walked into the bathroom. I grabbed some of my cloths and walked over to my phone to check for any messages, there were two and the first one was from Andy, I clicked on it and opened the message.

ANDY:

Hey hope you have an amazing birthday I waited until midnight for you so you better be happy because I'm tired and don't be surprised if I am grouchy tomorrow, well I guess today. Remind me again why we have these traditions?

12:01am today

I smiled when I saw the message oh, my best friend how much has happened and the worst part is that I can't tell him... He keeps nothing from me, but yet I keep a lot of secrets from him... But I knew that unless a human is either in danger by another supernatural creature or is a mate to one of us, we can't breathe a word to them. It's terrible, but it's the way it is. I replied, knowing that he was probably asleep by now.

CLARE:

Hey thanks for waiting for me, don't worry I will bring the chocolate and some Starbucks coffee for you tomorrow morning, and you can be as grouchy as you want.

Sent at 12:21 am

I got out of the chat and looked at the other message, it was from my dad.

DAD:

Hey honey the storm is coming in strongly here at the pack house, my self and Beta Jacob will stay here until it passes, so we won't be coming home. You kids be careful, all right? I still have people guarding the house, so you will be fine, I promise.

Oh, and by the way happy birthday.

12:15 am

I was near tears when I saw the message and this is the most affection I have gotten from my dad in a long time and only now did I realise how much I missed him I have always been with my dad since day one, and I honestly don't know how I survived without him these past years.

My bedroom door opened and here came my saviour. Liam walked up to me and engulfed me into a warm hug, comforting me. I cried in his arms, the tears wetting his shirt.

I breathed in deeply, he smelt like the shower he just had, but he still smelt of the forest and the ocean. It calmed me and I felt at home and my tears trickled to a stop.

He kissed my head and said, "Now that you have calmed down, what made you so upset?"

I shrugged and shook my head, pulling away gently, looking him in the eye.

"It's nothing, I'm just so emotional, and my dad sent me a message and I just broke."

"It isn't, nothing, you were in tears, and it's okay not to be okay."
