Chapter 1


My name is Addison, they call me Rose. Why? I have no Idea. They have called me that since I was little for no apparent reason.I am 14 years old. I am going out for a walk later, like I usually do. I go to the Park and sit on my favorite Bench. Then I will read till dark. I will only go read on Full Moons though. I feel drawn to them. Then when the Full Moon shows up, I close my book, hug my knees close, and stare at the Moon and Stars. And I will Dream of finding the one I belong with. The Love of my Life. I usually Dream alone but some times my best friend will come out and sit next to me. Never talking, just watching. When the clock turns to 2:14, we go home. My Friends name is Josh. He has Shaggy Dark Brown Hair, and a scary Serial killer look on his face all the time, and a Funny Smile. He always makes me Laugh. He is the only one who truly understands me. I am glad I met him, I think I would probably go crazy without him. I turned to look at my clock to see it is time yet. 8:45, Perfect. I grabbed my book, and cellphone. I put them into my bag. and went to the door. I opened the door, and said "Mom, Dad I'll be back,Bye. I am going out for a Walk." I called to my Mom And Dad."Bye." They Both called, not suprised I was going for walk on the Full Moon. I shut the door and looked for Josh. He was across the street, leaning on a tree. I walked over to meet him. I looked at my watch. 9:00, time to start off. He smiled at me and I smiled back, and he stared at me with his Amazing Brown eyes. We never talked untill we were at my doorstep at the end of the night. Once we were done smiling, I held out my hand and he took it. We had no feelings for each other in that way, so we never felt wierd holding hands. We always did, it made me feel safe, and for that reason he always held my hand whenever we went some where.We, understood each other. We started walking towards the park. Finally we were there. We sat on our bench. I glance at my watch, 9:15. At 10 o'clock the moon will rise. I had 45 minutes. I pulled out my book and started reading. In what felt like a few minutes, the moon was about to come up. I hugged my knees close to me, up on the bench. Josh also did so, and put one arm around me to let me know that he was there. Then we stared at the Stars. I looked at my watch. 9:59. In one minute a wolf will Howl as always and we can start dreaming. Then came the Howl. It was beautiful. I leaned into Josh, knowing he would protect me, even though I am not afraid of Wolves. And then we stared at The Full Moon. Finally I glanced at my watch, 2:10. I put my stuff away. Then grabbed Josh's hand. At 2:14 we headed back. Once on my door step, Josh said "Till Tommorow." Like he always did then smiled. I did the same. We hugged, then he left waving as he walked away, I did the same. I walked inside and said "Hi." To my Parents. They Looked up and then Dad said"Have Fun?". I Laughed."I always do, I Love watching the Moon." I answered."Great. Good-Night then." My Mom said."Good-Night." I said to them both. I went to my room. I opened the door, and almost in the same second closed it. I knew that I would have to wait another Month untill the next Full Moon. This made me Sad. I pulled my CellPhone out of my bag, and quickly placed it on its Charger. After opening my window, I dropped my bag on the floor. I would have all Night to listen to the Wolves Howling. I fell back, onto my bed. Before I could Change or do Anything, I was asleep. *BEEP* *BEEP* ."Wha-" I muttered. I looked at the clock, time to get up. Ugh, I still want to sleep. I turned my alarm clock off, knowing that I had to get up. At least today is Sunday. I stood up, and went to my closet. After grabbing some clothes, I headed to take a Shower. I didn't eat Breakfast, so I had plenty of time. Once I was done, I brushed my teeth and combed my wet hair. Dressed, I walked out in the Hall. I walked into the Kitchen, and looked at the clock. 8:12. What am I going to do today? I could always hang with Josh. Or with Lily. Wow, I just realized why people Laugh when they say our names together. Both Flowers, Huh. Lily is one of my other Friends. She has Dark Black Hair and Dazzling Red Eyes. I loved the unusual color. Too Bad, Josh didn't get along with her. Maybe I could try , getting them to be Nice to Each other for a day. Worth a Shot, I decided.


Chapter 2


I told Mom and Dad I was Heading out. I grabbed my Cell, My Wallet, and put them in my Purse. I texted Lily and Josh and told them that I would be over in a few, and to play nice with each other. They agreed, but I had fear that this wouldn't end well. Lily's House was closer, so I walked there first. I walked up the steps and rung the door-bell."What are we doing?" Lily asked."No Idea, thought you or Josh would think of some-thing." I told her."Well, you thought right." She said."What are we going to do, then?"I asked, hopefully."Well, I was thinking maybe we could go to the Park." Said Lily."Sure. Lets see what Josh thinks." I said to Lily. We walked back down the steps, and headed to Josh's House. Before we got there I said"Play Nice, I am Serious."."Fine with me, but if he starts something I am Ending it." She said to me."As long as 'Ending It' doesn't mean ending his Life." I corrected her.She Frowned."Fine." She Agreed. We arrived at Josh's, shortly after that, Disturbing Discussion. He was waiting outside the door, with his hands in the pockets of his Baggy-Jeans."Hey, what are we doin'." he said, Looking at me and Lily."Wanna go to the Park?" I asked."Cool, with me." he said jumping of his Porch. I knew it was best not to hold hands with Josh in front of Lily, she would definitly get the wrong idea and not understand. Even some-times I dont understand why he makes me feel so..... Safe. Josh knew why I didn't reach for his hand, so he didn't try to grab it. We walked to the Park in Silence, except for the Little Small talk I said, trying to make conversation. Since Josh and Lily never hung out, they didn't know what to talk about.Once we were there, I ran to a tree and sat down under it. Then, I patted both sides of the ground next to me. Josh and Lily walked over, and sat on either side of me."So......"Josh started to say."What are we going to do now?" I finished for him."There isn't really much here to do. Maybe we could play a game.Or maybe we should go some where else?"Lily said to Josh and me."Sure, but where?"Josh asked."There are lots of places to go, and things to do." I said."How about we go to the movies, or go bowling, or get ice-cream, or..... anything?"I said to them."Or we could go to all those places?"Lily suggested.We all laughed at that."Hey, maybe that could work.Let's go on a Movie, Bowling, Ice-Cream Adventure!" Lily said."That could be fun." I said."Fine with me, but lets go Bowling first." Josh said."Ok, then. Lets head to the Bowling Alley." I said. Lily jumped up, and held her hand out to me. I grabbed it and pulled myself up. Josh stood up, then we started walking towards the Bowling Alley."If I would have known that we were going to be walking so much, I would have brought my Bike." Lily said. "Me too." said Josh. Lily opened up the door, and motioned us in. We got our shoes, and went to our lane. Once we had on our shoes, we picked out Bowling Balls.We played some, and made Small-Talk. When we were done returning our shoes, we walked out."Well, that was.........Fun." Lily said."Lets go to the movies.Bowling made me tired. What movie are we gonna see?" I asked."Whatever is there, I guess." Josh said. "'K, Lets Go! Wanna Race?" said Lily."Sure." I said."Oh, your on!" said Josh."On the mark or three." I said, standing in front of them."One...Two...THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I said, right when Lily and Josh went Barreling down the side walk. I started Laughing."I guess I Lose." I called. Josh laughed. I ran up to them. Josh beat Lily. Lily stuck her tongue out at Josh."He won fair and square." I said."Are you like 4 years old or some thing?" Josh added. We laughed, Then walked into the movie theater. After getting tickets to: Hayley's Day, they got popcorn and candy. They got seats, in the very front row. After the Movie, they threw there trash away."Ok, I am so not eating Ice-Cream, I am too Full!" said Lily."Me too! Why did we get so much Popcorn and Candy?" I asked."Because then, you were hungry. Now your not, case closed." said Josh. We all started Laughing."Well, where are we going then? Since were not getting Ice-Cream." said Lily."I have no idea." I said."Lets go back to my house." said Lily."Will your parents want me there?" asked Josh."They don't care." Lily told him."Lets go." I said. We walked to Lily's House, talking little on the way.Once we were there, Lily pulled out her key. She un-locked the door quickly, then pulled me inside. Josh stayed on the porch.I pulled away from Lily."Whats wrong?" I said, running back to Josh."Nothing." He said, stepping inside. What was with him? Oh, well. I caught up to Lily, who was heading to her room."What are we gonna do?" I asked Lily. Lily unlocked her door, not answering my question.Josh came up behind me."Is that your room?......I am not going in there." he said."Don't be a big baby." Lily said, as she walked inside. I stepped inside, and sat on her bed. I had been here many times before but, some thing always seems different each time.Lily sat next to me, and smiled.Josh frowned."Your parents are going to kill me if they find me in here." he said."Oh, well.What a nice sight that would be." she said, the last part more to her self."You coming or not, your not doing anything wrong." I said."I am doing some thing wrong by just being in this house." he muttered, under his breath.I got up, and grabbed his wrist."Come on, its not like your making out with Lily!" I said. I pulled him into the room.I sighed. Lily laughed.Josh sat on the floor. I rolled my eyes, looking at him."Now, what are we going to do." I asked Lily. She smiled, looking at Josh."Well, I think Josh
