Chapter Fifty-Three
Rebecca
Where was I? I shifted again? I don't even remember how I got here. I was naked though, and I wanted to go home. I couldn't go home because everyone was already up and they would see me. I walked in between the trees and saw the house. I was so hot and I didn't want to shift. I kept breathing heavily, and wiping the sweat away off my forehead. I saw Grace outside sitting in the grass, spinning her engagement ring around her finger.
"Grace," I whispered so she could hear me.
"Rebecca," She whispered back. "Where are you?"
"Behind this tree," I stuck my head out so she could see me. Grace sighed.
"I'll get you something to wear." Grace ran into the house and came out a few minutes later with a bag of clothes. I changed behind the tree and crumpled the plastic bag in my hand. When I walked out Grace smiled at me.
"Thanks, I just wish I could just enjoy summer." I sat in the grass and Grace sat next to me.
"One day you will, I promise." Grace put a hand on my back. I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"One day," I whispered. "Grace?"
"Yes."
"Are you and Sam going to try for another baby?"
"Probably," Grace shrugged. "I'm just scared that the same thing will happen again."
"Grace, I know that everything will be alright in the end."
"Thank you."
"Always a pleasure to help." I saluted her, got up, and walked slowly to the house.
Cole
I heard someone's phone go off and I really didn't want to get up and see whose it was.
"Cole," Isabel yelled. I jumped out of bed and ran to where Isabel's voice ran through the house. She was wrapping a sweater around her shoulders.
"Isabel, what are you doing? You are not going outside, give me the phone." I took the ringing phone out of her hand and sprinted outside to Grace. "Here," Grace looked puzzled but answered the phone.
"Hello?" She said. I heard murmurs on the other end of the phone but couldn't make out the words. "What, tomorrow? I guess so; I'll tell Sam to call you back, bye." Grace hung up and you could tell she was mad with me. "Next time, give the right phone to the right person." Grace shook Sam's phone in my face and stormed off into the house.
