Broken, but still Alive

Chapter 4

"I thought we had something Katy...why?!" he cried slapping a hand over his eyes. I grabbed a pillow and threw at his face.

"Looks like our little roommate was keeping a secret," Adrain smirked at me. My eyes widen, Andy knew? Andy frowned and tossed his keys on the counter. "What do you mean? Oh god she’s not married is she! Oh wait no are you pregnant?" He whispered in horror his eyes wide.

"No you dork she’s a wolf." Adrain rolled his eyes and walked past a wide Andy and grabbed a beer from the fridge.

The look on Andy's face was priceless.

"Wait if she’s a wolf shouldn't you be able to smell it on her or something?" He asked Adrain.

"I would if she'd actually shifted yet, but short stuff here is only 17"

I winced as Andy's eyes widened even more. "You were only 16 when you moved in here!" he screamed clearly about to have a heart attack.

"What the hell is a 16 year old doing looking like that?! Does she want me to go to jail?!” He yelled at Adrain. Adrain snickered and took a sip of his beer.

"She’s a wolf we all look older then we are. Don't freak out you haven't done anything worth going to jail....have you?!" he asked his eyes widening.

"What?! No!" Andy yelled

"Good cause then as a fellow wolf I would have had to kick your ass," he chuckled. I rolled my eyes and lay down. They continued to talk for awhile the sound of their voices soothing me. Suddenly I felt Andy sit near my head his scent rolling over me.

"Have you been crying Em?" Andy asked frowning his eyes softening.

I opened my eyes and sat up looking away. "I'm fine Andy it’s nothing I can’t deal with."

"Was it some asshole at work? I told you, you don’t have to work there anymore Em you can help me at the shop."

Andy worked at a surf shop that sold everything you needed to go surfing. But I didn't want to be a burden. But what if Eric went looking for me at the club? I couldn't face him again not after all this time. Maybe I could just work at Andy’s till I knew it was safe to go back to work. I smiled at Andy. "I’ll take you up on that offer."

Andy smiled brightly and kissed my cheek. "I knew you couldn't resist this fine body. It’s just so good looking you can’t bear to be separated from it for even a few hours," he said flexing. I rolled my eyes and laid my head on his shoulder as Adrain put in a movie.

It hurt so much to see Eric after what he did to me. But what was worse was how much it hurt my heart. I had always cared about Eric maybe .......too much. When he'd grabbed the back of my neck tonight a part of my mind wanted him to kiss me and that was sick. He was my brother for god’s sake! I mean not really but until a year ago I thought we shared the same DNA. I guess a part of me knew he really wasn't my brother. I was so different from the others especilly Eric. Different colored hair and eyes, different noses and mouth. How had I not known I was adopted?

God why after all these years did he have to come to my club? Why of all people did his friend pick me?

Why did I care so much about a guy who I'd thought was my brother all this time? The problem wasn't that I cared about him it was that I cared way to much for someone who I was suppose to have sisterly feelings for. He wasn't my brother I knew that but it was still wrong the way my idotic heart had felt tonight when I'd seen him.

We weren't related, he had left me years ago to start his own life, and now I was wondering why my wolf wouldn't stop whining about him.
