I still think it's weird that I'm already a freshman. I was gonna put the new characters in this chappie but I'm feelin kinda lazy lol.

Chapter 2

CarterPOV

Denny, our neighbor was standing at the front door. Now don't get me wrong I like Denny, he's a nice guy but still any guy who still likes my mom is kinda messed up in the head. Now you're wondering why I said that? Well when my dad died my mom went all crazy and stuff, and now she gets mad all the time and always glares. But Denny is her partner at work, so I guess he gets to see the other side of her, and they've been dating for about three years now. I'm always worrying that someday he'll pop the question and ask my mom to marry him. I mean I like him and all but I don't want a step dad.

"Carter honey I'm so sorry" he said bursting into tears.

"About what" I said walking outside and closing the door behind me so I could lean on the doorframe.

"Your mom, she was in a terrible accident….s-she didn't make it" He said grabbing me in a hug. I'm really not a person that likes to show emotion, it gets kinda hard when as a wolf everyone can read my thoughts. When my ex boyfriend broke up with me the pack was surprised to find out that I really didn't care that much. That's just how I am; I figure that if I don't care it can't really hurt me. So far it's worked but holding it in can sometimes get too much, and on occasion I cry myself to sleep. Can you really blame me?

"So you're telling me that she's dead" I said calmly, while I politely shoved him off of me. It didn't matter, it was already like she was dead to me, I never saw her so it didn't hurt that much.

He nodded at me, and just when I was about to turn to go inside my partner and alpha came walking out of the woods.

"Thank you for coming" Chet said to Denny while he walked up the stairs. When he got up here he put his arm over my shoulder and kissed my temple. Chet has a crush on me, we've always known and now that I don't have a boyfriend I figure that it really doesn't matter either way.

"I'll stay here with her, I'm sorry for your loss" Chet said opening up the door to my house and pushing me gently inside.

"This is bad, you have two months left until you're eighteen, and you can't just live by yourself"

"I just find out that my mother is dead and you're worrying that I'll have to move away for a couple months!" I yelled climbing the steps; I really didn't want to put up with his crap at the moment.

"Honey I just want you to stay here, both of your parents are here"

"You mean both of my parents graves will be here, and it doesn't matter I can't leave the pack anyway. Anywhere I go would only be temporary. I'm sure that you can take care of them on your own until I get back, I'm probably gonna have to move in with my cousin's Seth and Leah Clearwater up in La Push." I said finally getting to the top of the steps and turning around to watch him watch me from the bottom of the steps. At least he had the common sense to not follow me.

When I got to my room I opened the door and quickly shut it behind me. Then I ran over and jumped on the bed in the corner of my room and I stared at the ceiling until I my vision was blurred from staring at one thing for so long and I feel asleep.

Ok so school starts started already for me soo I probably won't be able to update any other time than on the weekends, of course I will try to update more than that but I don't know how often I will be able to do so, sorry. Sorry it's so short too I like to have at least 1000 words per chapter, didn't quite get there with this one. As for the amazing people who submitted forms to be a character your character will be in the next chapter! I still have some open space so if anyone still wants to, you can fill out the form! Thanks and REVIEW! Its summer and I'm wearing my Ugs while I'm writing this, there soo comfy! I turned up my air-condition so I can stay in my room and not get warm lol.
