My beta laughed loudly through the phone call and I chuckled in response. Honestly, the talks with Justin were the best. He always gave the best tea.

"He went straight into the tires at the side of the room. I was holding myself from laughing but I couldn't take- take- take- oh moon goddess, I-" He howled in laughter and I held my stomach on the bed. I had not even finished packing and it was already late. "Training was so funny today. I'm dying."

The laughter that bubbled up in my throat had me wheezing. No sounds came out but I was laughing. "Why do I always miss the good days?" I asked cleaning the tear that escaped from my eyes.

"I don't know! What were you doing?" He coughed out making me laugh again.

"Packing," I answered and the laughter died down from his side.

Oop-

"Packing to where?" His voice was void of laughter. "And you didn't tell me?"

"I'm going to see a friend for a few days." I dragged out getting ready for the scold.

"Wow. What an amazing best friend." He drawled out sarcastically.

"I know right?"

"Fuck you."

"Love you too honey." I ended and the line went dead suddenly. "He fucking hung up on me!"

I dropped the phone on the bed in a huff and frowned. Throughout Justin and I's talk, there was nothing about Chris being there. That made me worried. He wasn't even home yet.

I suddenly imagined a warrior with his head in a tire and I fell again.

The water fell on my skin calming down my nerves and getting my mind ready for the day. I had a dreamless sleep and I wasn't happy about it. He didn't show in it and I had planned to question him.

Sighing, I got out of the shower and dressed up quickly. My things were already packed and ready for my stay at Avery's.

I walked to the mirror and groaned at my reflection. I looked so ugly. My eyes shifted to the pendant on my neck and I smiled.

That pendant was my life, the only thing left behind by my mother who died at childbirth. Its sparkly nature got me smiling again and I held it in my hands feeling my mother's love and protection from it.

I never got to see her but I had pictures and believe me when I say that we looked badly. I sighed and carried my packed bags out of the room.

Walking downstairs, the guard told me the car was ready. I nodded at him and walked to the kitchen to make a toast but was surprised when I saw my best friend chewing on the last one.

"Good morning food stealer." I greeted and he gave me the most wicked eyes ever. "Oh no, are those eyes for me?"

"What do you think?" He asked as he crunched loudly on my toast. "You're leaving me here."
