"I'm sorry Nymeria but I don't love you anymore" a male said
Nymeria scoffed and looked at the male "why not"
"I can't love a were-wolf I'm a human, I'm sorry...." he said
"no your not..." Nymeria said
The male rolled his eyes and walked off, leaving Nymeria to stand alone in the rain.
Nymeria's POV
I turned and started walking back home in the rain, I checked the time. It was already after nine, I sighed and put my phone away. I needed to get over it I knew he was cheating, so he was going to leave me either way. As I was walking a soft whine pulled me out of my thoughts, I looked down to see a stray pup. My gaze softened, the pup looked at me with sorrow filled eyes. I squatted down so I was about there height, I placed my hand out.
"Hi there, little one!" I said
They poked my finger and stayed quite.
"My name's Nymeria, whats yours?"
"Summer" she said softly
"Summer, that's a pretty name. But Summer I have a question for you,"
"Ok"
"Whats a pup like you doin out here?"
"I like it here...."
"All by yourself?"
She looked down and I sighed "Summer, wanna come home with me its not safe for you out here in the dark"
"Ok" she said softly
I picked her up and she giggled wagging her little tail, I smiled and held her close I as started walking back home.
"Nymeria..." Summer said, "Do you live with anyone?"
"Nah, I live alone" I said
"But why?" she asked.
"Oh because I don't really have any friends or family..."
"So you're a stray like me?"
"Yea"
After a while we reached my front door, I held her in one arm and grabbed my keys out of my purse. I unlocked the door I walked in shutting the door behind me. I set Summer down and smiled, she looked at me softly.
"Welcome home Summer, feel free to look around"
"Ok"
"How old are you?"
"I'm 10" she said shyly
"Do you go to school?"
"No...."
"Ok, well go take a bath I'll go get a room set up for you"
"Oki" she said looking around for the bathroom.
When she couldn't find it she looked at me, I smiled and walked over to her showing her where the bathroom was. After that I went to my guest room and put clean sheets on the bed. I put on some pillows and extra blankets, I looked at the floor. It was a mess, I sighed and started picking up the mess. I swept and mopped, as I was doing all this I began thinking. I was going to have to either find her family or adopt her, and I would have to enroll her in school. the sound of tiny footsteps pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned around to see Summer wrapped in a towel, I smiled softly and picked her up.
"Dry those ears, they're getting my face all wet" I teased
She giggled and hugged me as I carried her to my room, I set her down on my bed. She smiled as I dug through my closet looking for something that would fit her, I found something and walked over to her.
"It will be a bit big but it will have to work for now, I'll wash the clothes you had on earlier so we can go shopping for clothes tomorrow."
"Oki" she said happily
She threw on the hoodie I had given her and hugged me.
"You still need to dry those wet ears" I said booping her nose.
She giggled and I smiled, I couldn't remember the last time I was this happy. I could barely take care of myself and here I was taking care of a ten year old. Oh my goodness I've gotten myself into such a mess. The ringing of my phone pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Hello?"
"Nymeria" the person on the other line said
"Bestie?"
"Nymeria I heard that bastard left you?!"
"yea he did...."
"I'm coming over!"
I looked down at Summer and sighed "Bestie I need to tell you something,"
"Ok?"
"I found a stray pup...."
"Go on."
"I brought her home."
My bestie sighed and I left the room, Summer stayed there. I think she could tell I need to talk to my bestie alone.
"What's her name?"
"Summer"
"Well thats a wonderful name!"
"Yea,"
"Now tell me what you plan on doing? You have a hard time paying for school and taking care of yourself as it is! I pay for your house"
"I know bestie but I couldn't just leave her there and I'll figure something out, I'll put out missing posters in the morning."
"I'll be over in an hour"
"Ok"
And with that she hung up, I walked back to my room to see Summer asleep on the edge of the bed. I sighed and picked her up carrying her to the guest room, I tucked her into the bed and left the room. I sat down on the couch and waited for my bestie to get here, she was right. I didn't know what I was thinking, I can't even take care of myself she pays my bills for me. I was thankful to have her but even though I've know her for years she still gets on my nerves. But hey she was an alpha and I was just an omega, or so I was made to believe.
After about an hour she unlocked the door and walked in, I sighed and got up and hugged her. She hugged me back and shoved me on the couch and sat down next to me.
"Tell me everything!"
"well for one your so aggressive chill out a bit"
"Chill? You want me to chill! You brought a stray pup home without even thinking! YOU can't even take care of YOURSELF what makes you think you can take care of a pup Nymie!" She yelled at me
I looked down at my lap and let my hair hide my face.
"I'm sorry, ok...." I said after a while of silence.
