Chapter 4
** twelve years old.**
"Get out of my way." Sebastian shoved past me in the hallway on the way out of the house. "Hurry up dude Linda's waiting for me!" Sebastian's friend Chaz yelled from his car. Sebastian played sports so all his friends are older than me and they offered to give us rides to school. "You can go." Sebastian jumped into the bed of the truck before I was half way across the driveway "B-but what about-" Chaz began looking at me conflicted "I said go!!" Sebastian demanded and Chaz gave me a sad glance before pulling out of the driveway and sped down the street. I stared down at the morning dew on the bright green grass before I started on my long walk to school.
I started the day off late to school but managed to avoid getting bullied too bad at least I didn't come home with broken bones are a bruised face again. It was one of the good days I should've known it wasn't going to last.
"Hey slut come here." Sebastian beckoned me towards his table during lunch. I couldn't act like I didn't hear him because I sit alone and I don't have friends who'll talk to me in public. I got up and walked slowly towards his evil smirk, how could I have ever trusted such a heartless boy. "Pack party tonight. Dad wants us both to be there so when we get home fix all that.." he waved his hand in front of my body "And try for goddess sake not to fuck this up like you do everything else." I fought the urge to talk back to him but thought better of it instead I nodded and walked away. The rest of the day went by fairly quickly.

"Candice." I whispered as I knocked on her door. She popped her head out of the crack of the door "Yes dear?" she asked clearly surprised I'm actually talking to her. I wrung my hands together nervously.
"I sorta might need help getting ready for the pack party tonight."
Instead of closing the door in my face she smiled brightly and stepped out of her room to walk me to mine.
"You and Rose are the same age and size so I'll let you borrow one of her dresses." She ran her hands through my hair gently "Let's see what I can do with your beautiful hair." she sat me down on the edge of my mattress/bed. "Go take a shower and I'll get everything you'll need." she guided me toward the bathroom.
I looked back at her astonished that she wants to help me that she was the woman that was doing what my mom was supposed to be doing.
"Thanks Candice." I said closing the door before she had a chance to thank me back.
Ten minutes later I was clean and dressed in Rose's baby blue flower dress. "Hold still." Candice said as she twirled a strand of my blonde hair around her curling iron. "There all done." she finished curling that strand then put the iron on my dresser. She fluffed my hair up and moved curls to her liking "Now we can do makeup!" She cheered happily. I let her do what she called a naked look on me she had me close my eyes the whole time. "I feel like one of those stylist from America's Best top model." I smiled at her content tone of voice as her soft bristles from her brushes skimmed across my face. She added something firm to my lips and told me to rub my lips together. I did as I was told and then felt something moist being rubbed on them "Lip gloss." she informed me chuckling.
"Alright I'm done open your eyes." she bounced up and down excitedly holding up a hand mirror to reveal a pretty me! "Do you like it?" She asked moving a strand of hair out of my face "I-I love it." I hugged her briefly before backing up quickly.
"You are such a beautiful young lady." She complimented me and began to gather her tools together.
She turned to me before leaving "The heels are over here by the door and I hope you have a great time tonight." She smiled brightly before closing the door.

Rose and Sebastian were sitting on the living room couch watching cartoons when I came into the room.
I felt like a tower wearing rose's heels "Is that my dress?" Rose asked shocked but to my amazement jumped up and had me twirl for her "I grew out of it but it looks fabulous on you!" She looked me up and down approval written all over her face.
"She is still and always will be fugly ass hell." Sebastian shrugged as if he just stated a fact. I fought the sudden urge to punch him. "Let's just get going." He turned off the tv and walked us to the front door "Chaz is giving us a ride. Dad is spending the evening with Remy and Candice." Sebastian stated as we walked down the driveway to Chaz's waiting car. I climbed in right after Rose just in case Sebastian tried to pull that stunt he pulled this morning. "Where are we going?" I asked out loud once Chaz was a good distance away from the house.
"The watergate pack's territory." Chaz answered. ******
