Lacey didn''t show up and the night was ending. Lana was passed out on the couch and nna, and I were out back sitting round the fire pit.


    Jake had disappeared up the stairs a while ago leaving us to have some much-needed girl time. It was nice spending time with the girls. It was just a shame Lacey felt she couldn''t join us. "Remember when you punched Jake in the face?". Sheughed.


    "I do". I grinned.


    "That was a good night".


    "It was". I agreed. "Until I ended up with a broken hand because I punched a werewolf in the face".


    "Bet it felt good though". She winked.


    "It did". Iughed. "But we won''t talk about that".N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    "You''re both good though, right?"


    "We are". I nodded.


    "And you, you''re doing, okay?".


    I shrugged. "I''m okay I guess". I wasn''t sure how to process it. Visit J.bnb to read theplete chapters for free I still didn''t understand how to grieve something I never had to begin with. But I dealt with it the best way I knew how and that was by not talking about it.


    I was burying it until I was ready and right now, I wasn''t ready to face any of it.


    "Do you want to talk about it?". She asked.


    "No, I don''t because even thinking about it makes me want to cry and I don''t want to cry anymore".


    "Okay". She nodded. "But we''re here when you''re ready and if you never are that''s okay to".


    "Have you spoken to Lacey?". I asked.


    "She''s avoiding my calls. I think she''s afraid you''ll think she''s throwing it in your face. She doesn''t want it to be awkward".


    I frowned. Why would it be awkward? And why would she think that? She was having a baby, bringing life into the world and that alone was amazing. Right now, it wasn''t my turn, but I would never be that person to hate on someone else. Did Ie across as someone who would act that way?


    For her to think I would be anything other than supportive was sad.


    "She''s being silly but she is pregnant after all so I understand her emotions will be all over the ce. Should I maybe call her tomorrow?".


    "I could see if we could all go for breakfast?". She suggested.


    "Sounds good". I smiled.


    Feeling the light drop of rain against my forehead I looked up into the sky, the brightest I''ve seen in a long time. Stars shining bright, the moon full. I will never get over how peaceful it was around here.
