Since there were no werewolves at home, no one stopped us from crying as long as we wanted. The more I felt Jordan's tears on my back, the more emotional I became, and the more my tears continued to flow.
"I'm sorry," murmured Jordan in a small voice. "I promise, cross my heart and hope to eat all my veggies, that I will never, ever hurt you again! I'll be your comrade-in-arms against all the bullies out there. I'll protect you from any harm.
I know I can't make up for what I did, but I'll do everything in my power to make you feel safe here. I'll also tickle the monsters away when they hide under your bed, and chase away the shadows that try to scare you at night. I'll always be there for you, like a brother should."
