Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 3

I walk around the house. Every nook and cranny brings back memories, whether happy or sad. Memories I could have spent with my mother and brother. I’ve made up my mind, there’s no point in staying here anymore. I fill a sports bag with clothes and personal effects, then place the box on the table, with a note of course.

[I’ve left to rejoin my family, so don’t try to contact me again. Goodbye]

I put my phone next to it, along with my keys, and run to the bus station, with my mother’s 16th birthday letter in the palm of my hand.

2 hours later

I finally get into a cab and give the driver the address after a two-hour bus ride. After about ten minutes on the road, I notice that I won’t have enough money to pay him.

Me: Excuse me sir, I… I don’t have enough cash to pay you…

Driver: What?

He turns back to me and since he wasn’t looking at the road, he almost hits a boy but brakes just in time.

Me: Oh my God!

I rush over to the boy, who slowly gets to his feet.

Me: Are you all right?

He looks up at me, and I have to admit I can’t help but stare, he’s so handsome! His boyish face dotted with moles and his messy brown hair make me fall for him!

Guy: Yes, thanks, I wasn’t looking where I was going.

Me: Yes, but he almost killed you anyway!

Driver: Well, I’m not going to wait any longer for someone who can’t pay me! Good-bye!

He throws me my bag and drives off without stopping. I don’t have to say anything bad to him for leaving me in the middle of nowhere, because he’s already too far away. I sigh loudly and sit down on the sidewalk. The boy picks up my bag and hands it to me.

Me: Thanks!

He smiles at me.

Me: By the way, what’s your name?

Boy: Stiles… Stilinski! What’s yours?

I smile at him but frown… I feel like I know that name… Now there’s only one way to find out…

Me: Hannah… McCall…

Those eyes get round like marbles.

Stiles: Hannah?!!? Are you really Scott’s sister?!!?

I hand him the envelope and he quickly reads it before throwing himself into my arms.

Stiles: Oh my God! I never thought I’d see you again! We used to be friends! Do you remember that? Well, I do and I missed you so much! Oh my God, Melissa and Scott are going to be so happy!

I smile at him and we hug again. Apparently, we used to be friends! We set off chatting about our lives and I really enjoy chatting with him, everything is simple and fluid between us, as if we’d never left each other. He informs me that Scott doesn’t know about his concussion; he thinks our father has left, taking me with him without me being able to do anything. I nod and we pull up in front of the house. We slowly climb the stairs and I hesitate to ring the bell. What if, in time, they resent me for leaving…?

Stiles: Don’t worry, everything’s going to be fine.

I smile, just about to ring the bell when we hear someone behind us.

Stiles? What are you doing here? And who is this young lady?

Stiles: Hi, Melissa… I was just walking her home…

Melissa. So she’s my mother? She’s exactly as I’d imagined, anyway. My mother approaches me gently and I hand her the envelope, trembling. She just looks at the cover and jumps into my arms, crying. I cry too. And to think I thought my mother didn’t want me – I was so wrong! Now I can’t wait to see my brother again!
