The Unknown

Chapter 19

The rest of the trip passes in a blur. We clean up as much as we can and get some professional help for the rest.

Since we have gotten back I have been up in my room. I can't bring myself to go down stairs and act like I am alright because honestly I feel like everything is all wrong. I know that I have to be with Oliver and get over Colton but every time I think about not being with Colton a pain shoots through my chest. I don't understand why I have feeling for him in the first place, he was part of the people that killed my mother.

Thinking about my mom again just increases the pain in my chest. I feel like someone is ripping my heart out slowly and painfully. I will never truly know the woman that gave life to me, that kissed all my boo-boos and whipped the tears away. I was robbed of a part of me that day.

I took the anger I felt and directed it at Colton. One way or another I was going to get over him. Hating him seemed felt like hating part of myself though.

Sighing I crawl out of my bed as my stomach growled informing me that it wanted to eat.

For now I'll just avoid him.

I walk over to my closet and slip on a thin long sleeve shirt and a pair of comfy jeans. The could feel the temperature drop through my window. Slipping my phone into my pocket I make my way to my door.

I then peak my head out of my door to make sure Colton wasn't there I slip out of the room. The house seems really quiet for a Saturday afternoon. Normally there would be people running in all directions especially with all of the extra people still staying here.

Peaking out the window in the kitchen I see a thin layer of white covering the ground and flakes still falling. Sometime in the middle of the night it began to snow. Everyone must be outside enjoying the fresh blanket of snow.

I grab a yogurt and a spoon and sit at the bar and eat in peace.

Once I am finished I go back upstairs to the small library that we have. There is a balcony that over looks the backyard up here and I love just sitting and enjoying the nature. Before I go out there I go over to a shelf and search for something to read.

My phone gives off a soft buzz letting me know I just got a text.

Oliver: Where are you?

I instantly type back, in the library. Why?

Oliver: No reason just making sure aren't still in your room being a lazy butt.

l place my phone back in my pocket and continue to thumb through the books until I find one that I like. I take it out on the balcony and begin to read it.

I haven't been reading that long when my phone goes off again.

taking my phone back out of my pocket I see that its Oliver again.

Oliver: Look over the balcony! You won't believe what someone did with the snow!

Placing my book in my seat I walk over to the edge. When I look down at the snow I see a few words carved out.

My hands fly to my mouth as I see Oliver standing next to the words holding some red roses. I then glance back to the words and read "Will you go to the winter formal with me?"

Nodding my head I yell down, "Of course I will."

I race out of the library and down the stairs. I pass my dad as I run and see him smiling with pride. He must have known Oliver's plan the whole time.

Running out the door I jump into Oliver's open arms. He catches me without a second thought. glancing up I notice that the whole pack has come outside to see what it going on.

Pushing Colton out of my mind as Oliver spins me around I grab his face in my hands and kiss him in front of the entire pack.
