"Or I could send Lily to do it" that did it, he looked horrified. "Exactly." I stood on my toes and whispered to him "And you better tell him what you are soon" I pulled back and smiled "Okay, I should get going now"

I walked out of the airport to be greeted by a huge hug from Grace "Hey sis" I said happily hugging her, realising just how much I had missed her.I pulled away and looked at my parents "Mom. Dad"
"Hello, darling. I see you haven’t lost any weight and what are you wearing? I swear I never understood why you didn’t let the designer get clothes to make you look better"
"Missed you too mom" I grumbled and turned and hugged my dad "Sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye dad."
"It’s okay, finally done with living poor? Do you need any money? I wouldn’t mind giving you considering the situation you put yourself in"
"I’m fine dad" I gritted my teeth, this was going to be a long vacation
and two days later I knew I was right. I guess moving going from Adrian and Lily and the..pack and going back home was weird, I had gotten used to not being so criticized and for a while I thought I was maybe a bit important, but my parents were quick to remind me how imperfect I was.
Adrian and I had kept contact and talked almost every night, his voice always made me feel better and I just wanted to go to him, I didn’t care if he was a werewolf, I wouldn’t argue him being my soul mate, I’d be so lucky.
"Are you even listening to a word I’m saying, Nate?" My mom snapped me out of my thoughts."Of course you haven’t you aren’t as focus as Grace is. Anyway, like I said I’m going to need you to buy a proper dress for the party, the dress you brought isn’t good, it’ll make all your fat show, buy a dress that may make you look thinner. And for gods sake use makeup this time."
"Okay, mother" I said "Anything else?"
"Yes" her mother said looking at her seriously "I have invited a couple of special guests who would think about a relationship with you. Please try your best to impress"
"whatever mother" That will never happen, I knew it but I didn’t need another argument. I got up and walked to my room, throwing myself on my old bed. I took out my phone and called Adrian, it hadn’t even rang once when he answered
"Hey, Nate. How are you? I miss you"
"I miss you too" I said smiling, feeling tears stinging at my eyes "And I’m good, you?"
"I’ll be better when you’re here"
"You do?" I could almost see him grinning
"I do"

I walked on the the empty pathway , lost in thoughts. I didn’t think I was ready for this, but seeing as I was going back home after Grace’s birthday party tonight I knew I needed to do it, doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
"Nate? Is that you?" I heard a familiar sound and froze as I turned around and I was greeted by a person I never wanted to see again. The similarities were striking, same hair, eyes and cheekbones.
"Nigel" I said, trying to keep mmy face emotionless, but I didn’t expect to see Luke’s brother anywhere near this town, considering their family moved away a while ago. "What are you doing here?"
"Car broke down, this was the nearest town in my way. I haven’t seen you in so long, Nate. You know Luke has been asking about you" he winked at me and I felt the bile rise in my throat.
"I don’t want anything to do with him" I said trying to seem confident.
