Stella's POV

" Who's hungry? " Julian asked as he put the pizza boxes on the table.

" We just ate but who could say no to pizza? Isn't that right Stella? " Skye winked at me then I nodded.

I can eat some more.

Not because I'm hungry or that I like pizza, it's because I don't want to make Julian sad.

He's too sweet to say no to, and I need to talk with him about the kiss.

Was it just to shut me up?

Was he making fun of me?

I'm a toy in his eyes or what?

I'm confusing myself.

" Good, now dig in ladies. I'll take a quick shower then I'll take you Skye to Cody's house, he wants to see you" Julian cleared then he headed up stairs.

I took a slice of pizza and watched Skye put on a mix of spices on the pizza slice. They are not even for pizza.

That's gross but people have tastes so I can't comment that out loud.

" Stella are you okay? " Skye's sudden question took me off guard.

I looked into her eyes and saw concern, worry and sadness. " Yeah, why? " I asked then waited for her reply.

She sighed " I don't know, I mean your life was hard and I didn't know. How are you feeling? leave your physical status aside, tell me about your mental status, are you tired? " she asked but I felt like an arrow strike through my heart because she hit a nerve.

She's right.

I'm exhausted. Not just tired.

I nodded " Yeah but everything will be alright. I have you, I have Julian and his parents' support. I'll survive. " I said in a humorous tone at the end to lift up the mood a bit. She smiled.

" I love you Stella, and if Julian treats you wrong... Just tell me. You have my number. " She warned and I chuckled.

" Don't worry, he's too sweet to do that. " I said but she frowned.

" If only you'd know " She said in a low tone but I got confused.

" What do you mea-" I was cut off by Julian sudden appearance.

He looked at Skye with a glare." Okay, let's go ladies. Stella we will drop her to Cody's house, I'm not leaving you alone." He said and grabbed me by the hand, his touch automatically sent shivers and sparks down my spin.

It felt amazing. As always, why?

" Come on, I missed him. " Skye got excited to see her boyfriend again.

She really loves him.

I envy her but feel happy for her.

Apparently, she's living with him.

After we got into Julian's Jeep, Skye started singing what was on the radio.

I sat next to Julian and Skye sat from the back.

It was Skye's idea to sit next to him.

5 minutes later, Julian gone mad.

" Skye, would you just shut up? You can NOT sing, and who ever told you that you have a lovely voice. He or she was lying to make you feel better, but I'm family so...You suck at singing. " Julian burst his nerves and I felt sorry for her.

Yet... She had a terrible voice.

" I know that my voice sound like a dying cat, but I can't help it. I love singing, so suck it up and drive quietly. " She replied with a sly smile.

Now she won't ever stop.

Way to go Julian.

_____

We have arrived. Cody was waiting for us outside. " Hey guys " he greeted and I shook his hand that was pulled out for me to shake.

" Good evening Cody, I hope you take good care of my best friend. " I said with a smile and he returned a bigger one.

I saw sincerity in his eyes.

" I will " he simply replied and I felt the honesty in his tone. He is a great man, who's perfect for Skye.

" Okay man, we'll be off. Bye for now and good night ...oh and Cody?" Julian said.

" Yeah? "

" Tell your girl not to sing because she has an awful voice " Julian pleaded with his eyes and Cody stiffened.

" Oh... Um, yeah I know what you're talking about " Cody sighed then Skye hit his back.

" What? you're supposed to be on my side, not his. I'm your mat- girlfriend " She yelled and I chuckled.

They are so cute.

But what always grabs my attention is that they always say ' Mat' before they change it to ' Boyfriend or girlfriend'.

What they are hiding?

Well it's not my place to ask.

" Sorry babe, I love you " Cody kissed her nose and I melted at the sight. Skye's cheeks turned red.

" Okay bye guys, we need to go " Julian put his arm around my shoulders. We started walking to the Jeep to get back home.

It feels normal for me to say ' Home', I don't know why, but I do.

" What do you want to listen? " Julian asked me after we drove off home.

I shrugged " Whatever you like " I replied.

" Okay then, you'll love this song " he turned on the radio and the song' If you told me to' for Hinter Hayes was on.

I love this song.

" Hope you enjoy my singing " He cleared and I looked at him.

" Don't tell me you sing like Skye " I pointed out with worry.

" Oh no, I have a good voice actually." he replied and I sighed with relief.

He cleared his throat and began singing.

" Well I've been searching for something true

My heart says it must be you

I'd love to fall and see it threw

But only if you told me to... " he sung the whole song with a warm tone in his lovely voice.

He can sing.

When he took a turn to the lift after the junction, he abruptly stopped the Jeep " Oh shit, not now" Julian whispered under his breath.

I looked at him confused, but then I looked at the road and my eyes widened.

Wolves...
