I sign, tears starting to fall and for once my dad actually looks guilty, side glancing my grandfather Carter. I watch as they look between each other not saying a word, pissing me off even further.
“Yeah just go silent like you always do, it’s not like I’m not use to that”
I snap again, turning i leave going down the stairs to my bedroom, I close the door behind me and I fall on my ass, pain radiating throughout my chest as I sob into my knees. Everything hurt so bad, I couldn’t control my body as it trembles, every pain radiating through my body like the blood ran through my veins.
It hurt to breath, it hurt to move, it hurt to think. It hurt to be alive. Suddenly I didn’t feel sad anymore, suddenly I felt red hot rage radiating through me. Fuelled by anger as I punch the floor, screaming in frustration as the pain of the hit spreads through my hand and up my arm, but it felt good to not feel the hurt so intensely, so I hit it again, and again, my knuckle’s smash open and starts to bleed but I don’t care.
So focused on the pain in my chest I could hardly feel the pain in my hand. Anger ripples through me from hope, pushing forward she stops my fist from hitting out again.
“Enough”
She scolds. Grabbing the dress from my body she rip’s it apart, standing up I crumple it onto the ground and I go to the wardrobe, pulling on some shorts and a T-shirt, I grab my stuff and I March back out, up and past my parents who all seem to pause as I enter the room but now I didn’t care what they thought.
I March right past them, ignoring the angry tears and I head down the other side of the house to dexters old bedroom. I slam the door closed and I crawl into bed so I could scream into my pillow.

Adlais POV
2 days later..
It had been 2 days, heartly hadn’t eaten, she hadn’t talked, all she did was lay in bed, crumpled up in pain. I hated myself for not letting her go to him, live with him. I felt awful.
The phone starts ringing again, I sigh lifting it and groaning when I see Desmond’s face pop up again. The man had done nothing but ring me since the party.
I answer it and he sighs
“About time! Is she ok, she’s in so much pain, what can I do?”
“I wish I knew, I just regret ever keeping her from you”
He sighs shaking his head
“As much as I hate this, I hate the pain from being apart but she’s not ready, my pack would eat her alive and that’s if she had hearing, I want her here, damn I’d do anything to have her here but when they find out she’s deaf they will lose it and I want to know for sure that she’s ready for that”
He was so bloody wise, Gerald had set the rules in place, hunter and Dexter agreed that they stay in place and dad was just as bad as Gerald. I on the other hand wanted to break down the borders, hand the damn pack over to Desmond so he could come and go as he pleased and my baby who had already been through hell and back could finally be happy but apparently my idea was hilarious.
Freaking hilarious that I would even consider that but heartly was right, Gerald moved in with us when I met him, Ali snuck out of her house every night so she could sleep with hunter and dexter who always slept together. They refused point blank to sleep in there own rooms and let’s face it mum and dad have been in each other’s pocket from the moment of bloody conception.
“Well she’s not eating, I doubt she’s sleeping, she hasn’t moved from you left. It’s not helping that her sister just doesn’t bloody listen so she’s getting everything heartly has been dreaming off. I just don’t know what to do”
I whisper into the phone before blowing out a breath of complete frustration, Desmond growls shaking his head
“Is he still there! Why are they letting him stay when I can’t even f*****g visit!”
He snaps, I realise then I shouldn’t have opened my mouth.
“Ahh you think! What the hell are you doing he’s going to kill someone”
Lou snaps at me shaking her head in disbelief as I bite my tongue thinking cautiously about what I should say next,
“Adlai don’t you do that, tell me the damn truth!”
He growls, I curse under my breath
“Dad had a vision, if we don’t let him stay she’s going to run away, if we go after her he will start a war that will probably kill them both, if we let her stay then she will be happy for a while and there is a chance he will need to go back to his pack and leave her behind”
“I’m sensing a but here”
“Damn he’s so freaking old, he knows exactly when we are lying!”
Lou shakes her head at me, I smirk at her smart ass comment, he always gets labelled old but he really isn’t, he looks like he’s 23 at best, he is very handsome but he’s also extremely wise so it makes him sound older than he looks.
“But there is also a chance, it’s more probable that they will end up leaving soon and getting married before her 18th birthday”
“Your f*****g joking me! Why!!!”
“Because they will start a damn war if they don’t get what they want, endangering the lives of way to many and all that bullshit, I say let them go, just like I’d let heartly go but apparently I’m too soft”
“You are too soft”
He tells me smiling
“But I like that, it always feels like you have my back”
I nod
“I do, I want you guys to work out, I know you can work out, I just wish it didn’t hurt her so bad”
“Me too”
He whisper purging his lips
“What if I take her out on a date?”
He adds, I smirk
“Now that is a good idea, you guys could date, I could definitely convince them this is a good idea”
“I don’t really care if they think it’s a good idea or not, she’s mine and I don’t want her in pain. Tell her I’ll pick her up in an hour”
My jaw drops just as Gerald walks in
“Perfect I’ll tell her to get ready, talk soon”
I hang up looking away from him
“Adlai what did you do?”
“Mmm?”
I ask turning and looking to the roof innocently
“Adlai seriously who was that on the phone”
“Damn it, well we can’t sneak her out anyway!”
Lou snaps shaking her head
“Just going to get heartly ready for her date”
His face falls
“Her what now?”
“Her date, I don’t care what you say, I’m sick of seeing her like this, if a date cheers her up she should be allowed to have a damn date, I’m her mum and I don’t give a crap what anyone says, she’s going on a date”
He crosses his arms smirking at me
“Fine, she goes on a date”
