Longer note at the end. I shall let you just continue and enjoy!

APOV

I could hear the music pumping through the speakers. Even without my new heightened hearing, it could probably be heard a mile away. Just like the Sadie Hawkins dance it was held at the school's gym. Seth was supposed to be coming soon, so I sat there watching all of our classmates enter into the gym. All the girls were complimenting each other on their dresses and the guys were standing by their dates trying to stay entertained.

As my friends entered, they all looked my way giving me a friendly smile and I just gave them one back. They all looked perfect together and I wish I could've gone with them. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps getting nearer. Once they halted I felt Seth nuzzle his face lovingly into my neck and I couldn't help but smile.

Hey beautiful.

Hey you, finally decided to show up?

Sorry for being late.

Its fine, I was just watching.

I looked over to the sandy wolf beside me and leaned against him. Though I phased for the first time into a wolf about a week ago I still haven't been able to phase back yet. So Seth stayed in his wolf form to be with me, except when I made him go to school. Everyone else besides our friends thought that I have some horrible illness.

Are you mad that you couldn't go this year? Seth asked as I sighed.

I wouldn't say mad or even irked. We always have next year anyways. And I may jus use the dress I have then.

Okay just making sure.

Why did you think I was gonna freak out since I'm a nominee for Prom Queen and won't be there?

Well…kind of, he laughed.

I shoved Seth making him laugh more as I started wrestling him.

Do you really think you'll win?

Yeah.

How and why?

Because you love me so you'll let me, I laughed.

Very true, but that doesn't mean that I'll let you win.

Butt head.

Yeah, but you still love me.

Always.

Right before he could pin me I rolled and got up running away from him laughing. He quickly started to follow me and catching up. We kept weaving in and out of the trees not running anywhere in particular but just enjoying being with each other.

As we were running, I couldn't help but think how drastically my life changed. I knew this move was going to change all our lives a bit, but if you told me a year ago that all this was going to happen I would've called you crazy and helped you find the mental hospital you escaped from.

Hell, when my dad was explaining that this was going to help give all of us a clean plate and a new life, I kept rolling my eyes knowing that there was no way I could get a clean plate or a chance of a new life.

But in the end I did. I found myself again and I was even happier than ever before. Both Josh and I found the love of our lives, and yes that may sound cheesy but it's true. I have friends that will always stand and be there for me no matter what happens.

And for the first time in a long time, I don't see myself as a broken human. I don't think that I don't deserve anything good. I don't judge myself on the past or what Jesse used to say to or about me. And I definitely know that I'm not going to end up being some old crazy cat lady.

But now I see myself whole and fixed. I know now that I deserve everything good. Now I judge myself by the kind of person I want to achieve to be and I don't let anyone else judge me. Because for the first time I knew who I was and no one else could tell me differently.

But I guess my dad knew what he was talking about even if he didn't know all of this would happen to us. We all did get a chance at a new life.

First, thank you to anyone and everyone who was loyal enough to keep with me though I haven't posted anything in almost a year.

I apologize for all the mistakes. They are completely mine as this story did not have a Beta or a pre-reader.

I hoped that you enjoyed this little journey that fell out of my brain and onto my keyboard and into my computer.

Not sure if there will ever be any more postings from me. But I definitely have a couple little plot bunnies started that might turn into something that I do post.

But if nothing else comes out, thank you to everyone that has opened and took time to read my story. Even those who didn't finish or left constructive criticism to try and help me become better.

Also, thank you to everyone who has left a review for my story. I know there weren't many but I read and appreciated each and every one of them.

You can always find me on Twitter under the same handle as my penname on here.

Until next time, be good to each other and stay safe.
