Friendship by Taliesin Doyle (snow like ashes series .txt) 📕

I knew that Shaylen didn’t want to go to the party but I had made her go. She wanted to stay at home with Jordan but I needed my back up girl. We went to the store to get the dresses for the night. I looked at this really nice red dress that sparkled when I turned. I got Shaylen to wear this Knee long sky blue dress. It was a plain dress but the way it fit on her made me suck in my breath. I knew that she would turn some heads.

We showed up to the party in my old beat up jeep. I hopped down and waited for Shaylen to get out. She hopped down and looked at me. I could see the sadness in her face from not being able to be at home with Jordan.

“I just want to go back to my house so I can spend the night with Jordan and instead you're making me go to this stupid party in this dumb dress. Why do you do this to me?” I felt kinda bad that I had made her come but what was I supposed to do, I needed my right hand girl. I looked at her, I knew that she wanted to leave but I could also see that she didn't want to go home just yet. “Stay for a little bit then when you want to leave come and find me and we will leave.”

“Ok then lets go into that party.” I took her arm and together we walked into the house that the party was in. As soon as we walked in I saw too many heads turn to count. I looked at Shaylen and saw that she had noticed it as well.

Chapter Four

Tyler

I knew that I was going to let Shaylen get too close. That’s why I had made the choice to pack all my stuff up and let her and Jasmine have the house. I needed to leave before I hurt her. I had been up all night making this decision. I didn't know how to tell her so I had decided that I would just try to make her fear me so she would let me go.

I looked at the clock and realized that at some point in my thinking last night I had fallen asleep. I got up out of bed and started walking downstairs. I saw Jasmine sitting at the table. “How long have you been up?” I watched her jumped and then immediately apologized. “I’ve been up for a while. Trying to think and thought I’d let Shaylen sleep. She was up for a while after you dropped her off.” “Oh I hadn’t realized that I had kept her up so late. Sorry.”

There was something nice about noticing that Shaylen was still asleep when I walked by her room in the morning. She looked so peaceful that I never wanted to disturb her but she needed to get some food and I needed to tell her that I was leaving. I knocked on the door and I watched her stir.

There was fear in her eyes as I told her the story of why I needed to leave. I needed her to fear me that was the only way I knew to leave her. I had come to love her in a way. She made me think that there was a way I could live and not hurt her. She made me believe in fairy tale happiness. There was a type of glow I felt when I was with her. That’s why it broke my heart when I told her what I was. I was a monster I had ruined lives. I had killed people. She looked at me and asked “Did you like it? Do you like it? Do you like making people fear you? I don’t care that you different but I want to know if you like killing people.” I could not fathom the fact that she didn't care that me being a werewolf made me a monster.
