The drive back home was surprisingly calming after school despite yet another argument from Lisa and John. I kept thinking of the way Jared had held me as we agreed to be nothing more than friends from now on. Something inside of me gnawed at my stomach though. Something that kept getting stronger and stronger: Blade. Where was he? I didn't see him at school, should we meet up today? Go for a run. After all, it is for our wolves, not ourselves. The other soul in me laughed. Just for our wolves, yeah right. I loved being around him and I had to learn to admit it. His calming presence and golden eyes let me down a trail of light whenever I saw them. I couldn't help but wonder if he felt the same. It was sad knowing that our relationship only exists because of our connection.
