= Thanks. “I murmur, squeezing the pillow between my thighs firmly to stop myself from just scrambling to drink the rich tea knowing it was hot and would likely burn the tip of my tongue like it usually does.

“Do you want anything else?” She asked in a calming tone

I shook my head, not thinking of anything that could appease me other than hot cocoa at the moment. I was very picky on my period, also moodier than usual too.

I gave a nod, Hps thinning into a frown.” Of course she hasn’t Why would she care about her daughter needing tampons?

Gertrude had called mother a short moment after I had told her I needed tampons. Seeing that her shift was ending in a matter of a few minutes she had trusted that mother would be quicko n that essential

Gerirude sighed and came to settle at the foot of the bed. Her weight sinks down the mattress a bit and I giggle She marrows her eyes. ” I’m not fat.”

I smiled. “Never said you were.”

I peered at Gertrude noting how under Geshad darkened until they were visible. Her dark eyes had lost the light and were replaced by the gleam of exhaustion,

Even her shoulders were slumped in Latigue Gertrude needed the rest and she wouldn’t get it here. Especially if mother were to catch her still around after her shift

“No, I promise I will be safe and okay. Besides, Giveon must have missed his woman seeing that he’s pulling up a couple of seconds before your shift ends.

After a few warning and laughs, Gertrude leaves. My heart sank when I finally hear the sound of Giveun driving

I was alone

I sighed, getting into a sitting position and let my fingers wrap around the handle of the mug. I brought it to my lips, inhaling the pleasing aroma of cocoa and then sipped.

“Shit.” I wince, pulling away and brought a finger to touch my tender lip. I grumble another profanity under my breath as I

My fingers skin aver my bedding aimlessly, searching for the remote that would get me off myslump. When 1 finally clutched the device I switched on thu TV. The last show I had been watching resumes.

I smile at the faces of Dean and Sain Winchester pops on the screen. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to watch a supernatural show while staying home alone. Still, they were the only ones keeping me company as of now, so I swallowed the tiny fear and continued to

watch.

Soon after, the exhaustion I had been running away from hits me like a huge lug. I found my sleepy eyes closing shut until I was only surrounded by relief and dreams Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

My shift to my h ide table and relief washed over me when I spotted the box of tampons beside the mug Korwing it was probably mother who wishome, I stretched with a yan.

I tore my eyes away and looked outside m y window. It was dark out already, still presumably early in the night. I sit up Letting out another yawn. My eyes anm. y room until they widen noticing that the television was ofl.

Knowing I wasn’t the one who put it off made me let out a groan. If it was mother, who I assume it was, she’d surely have a lot to say to me. She would have definitely noticed the cocoa too. I slumped reaching for my mug of cocoa and brought it to my lips.

Irritation crawled its way through my body as the cold liquid washed over my tongue and traveled down my throat. I hated cold tea. I cringed but still drank it. I placed it down when I heard the sound o

I pulled the curtains aside, careful to hile in the shadows alpered at a blonde girl climbing the tree to Halden’s TITL

He was there. Nelping her as she sealed lowly and cursed. Haiden looked amused, directing her as he held in his laughter.

“Come on baby, help me. She reached out her hand to him. She was still a branch lower and meded to climb higher i fshe wanted to reach him

Peering at Halden I couldn’t help but grit my teeth as the scene of what happened thrust into my head. He should’ve continued to ignore me. Now those alien feelings were almost too much to bear. One of those feelings was anger, the other I couldn’t detect.

“He has herpes so you’re probably better off!” The yell almost made me laugh until

My eyes widen when I noticed that I had somehow come out of the shadows and was now in view of Haiden and the blonde girl whose mouth was agape in shock.
