11: One path

•°•previously•°•°

What would I do if my dad never woke up? Where and who will I be?

I tried to avoid these thoughts, but the pain of losing my father or even the possibility of it entered my head every so often...

But another thing that worried me was all those wanted posters...why did my dad have them, and could this Louis be the L character sending me these messages?

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• 

After about 3 days of getting alliances, we eventually got 90% of the bordering packs as allies. The other 10% were either too small in numbers or too scared to help.

We eventually complied that Liam and I had to make an appearance at school even though we had a lot of work still to do. But I knew that after everything that had happened, I needed a break from the pack. So tomorrow would be the day onto which we would be going back to school, but considering tomorrow was Friday, I didn't mind much.

We are busy with a few pack documents in the living room but considering that the twins don't have to go to school and could finish their work during the day they were fast asleep in the guest bedrooms.

Liam was busy with the rouge wanted posters while I was busy working on a budget for the pack.

After a while, Liam stretched and packed the papers in a neat pile and placing the pens in his computer bag.
He packed his laptop and the papers neatly back into his bag and zipped it up.

I paid no attention to it due to me being so engrossed in my work. I felt warm hands on my shoulders, massaging small circles where there was tension. Furthermore, I placed the papers down, and I leaned into the touch and I felt all the stress disappear.

"You know you don't have to keep quiet all the time, you need to let it out once in a while. I know you're going through so much hell right now because of all this, but just remember we are together in this, considering we are mates and all", Liam said soothingly.

I leaned my head back to look at him, and I smiled.

"I know it's just that I know that you have a pack of your own that you have to look after, and I just don't want to place any more stress on your shoulders"

"I at least have help, and I've been going through this a lot longer than what you have and just because I have problems I am always here to help you with yours"

I smiled, and a small tear fell down my face and the smile that I tried so desperately to leave on faltered and all at once my world came crashing down dragging the emotions that I've been kept hidden.

Liam pulled me into his arms and held me there, allowing me to let all my emotions out.

"I... I... I really don't know what to do any more, I am not ready for any of this.... Likewise, I still want to finish high school.... Not only that, but I..." I lost my train of thought and the emotions were just getting too much.

"Shhh... You're not in this alone, I told you... I'm here, I will always be right here", he kissed my forehead and helped me up.

"Come let's go upstairs and get ready for tomorrow goodness knows what's that best friend of yours is going to do since you've been avoiding his calls...texts....oh and countless emails", he chucked softly, and it made me smile.

Andy... even she hasn't been there to answer his calls he is still there for me, he still cares, and it made me feel guilty for avoiding him.

Liam and I locked up the house and walked upstairs towards my bedroom.
Liam has been sleeping in my room for the past couple of days due to my nightmares.

He walked to my bathroom to take a shower and I took the alone time as a chance to phone Andy, I know, finally, right?

He answered on the first ring which made me smile, "Finally you know I honestly thought you were dying for the past while from some incurable disease"

" I know it's just my dad has been sick and i.... I haven't been all too well either"

" Yeah... I'm coming over"

" What? Why?"

" I'm your best friend Claire, do you honestly believe that I don't know when you are lying or hiding something from me"

" I'm not... I'm really not"

"And I'm Miley Cyrus, anything else?"

"You can't come over.... It's late, and it's dark you... you really can't" I was running out if excuses.

"Too late, I'm just down the road from your place"

" What? How is that possible?".

" I had to get some things for tomorrow, so I was already in my car when you phoned"

" Andy! You are on your phone while you are talking to me!"

"Hello, it's me, of course not. I had you on loudspeaker"

" But... Andy!"

" Come on in, outside open up"

He put down the phone and I groaned.
I'm going downstairs any is here I called to Liam.

Banging came from the front door and I yelled, "Andy, I'm coming! Jeez chill for a second please"

The twins followed me towards the door, along with complaints of how sleep-deprived they are.

I unlocked the door and glared at Andy.

He shrugged and said, "Well, you sound better".

As Andy walked into the house, Ash stiffened and grovelled.

I looked at her with concern, I saw her looking at Andy.

Andy looked at with fear frozen on his face.

Jarred chucked and said, patting his sister on the pack lightly.

" Happy Birthday sis, you finally found who you were looking for"

I looked at them confused and realisation hit me.

And I looked from Ash and to Andy.

" He is your...."

Ash smiled and pounced on Andy and squealed, "MATE"

I guess I could tell Andy the truth now.
