Chapter 0234 Judys POW +25 BONUS Gavin wanted to take me out tonight .
He texted me to tell me to be ready by a certain time and I was more than eager to go out with him .
After I left the kitchen this morning , I went straight to my room to take a long bath .
I needed to clear my head and wash away all the negative thoughts that had collected in my mind .
I tried calling Nan a few times this morning , but now her phone was turned off and it was going straight to voicemail .
I even sent her a couple of text messages , but they remained unopened .
My heart squeezed painfully in my chest , I hated that she was going through this .
I hated that Chester was putting her through this .
I knew I would see her at school tomorrow , but I needed to know now that she was okay .
As I stepped out of the tub and grabbed a towel , I wrapped it around my body .
I pulled the plug to the drain so the water would go down and then I turned to look in the mirror .
It looked as if I hadnt slept in days .
I sighed , it was going to take a lot to make me presentable for my date with Gavin tonight .
There was a knock on my bedroom door , and I quickly spun on my heel and hurried out of the bathroom .
There was a part of me that hoped it was Nan , even though I knew it wasnt likely .
I pulled the door open , and I stood surprised to see Harper standing at the doorway .
Her eyes were red rimmed , and her nose was pink ; it was clear she had been crying and my heart tugged at her as well .
I didnt know Harper all that well ; since my time here , she had been a good maid and started to slowly become my friend .
However , I found Chester to be more my friend than Harper .
But that didnt mean I wanted her to be hurting as well .
Hey , Harper … I said , uncertainty filling my tone .
Are you okay ? She wiped at her damp eyes and forced an obviously fake smile .
Yeah , sorry , she said softly .
I was just seeing if you needed anything .
Sorry , I havent been super tentative lately .
I shook my head , waiving off her concern .
You dont need to worry about it , Harper , I assured her .
Its honestly okay .
But Im worried about you .
Yesterday was really rough … Im okay … she said quickly .
I think I could just use a distraction .
I thought about it for a moment , and then I smiled .
Well , I have an idea , I told her , grabbing her arm and pulling her into my room , shutting the door behind us .
She looked startled and stumbled over her feet for a second , it made me laugh .
I have a date tonight .
She winced at my words , and I realized she probably didnt want to think about dating or anything like that .
Well , its kind of a date , Gavin and I arent exactly dating its complicated , I told her .
Harpers expression softened and she nodded .
I can understand complicated , she told me .
I figured you could , I told her .
But I havent seen him in a few days , and he wants to spend the night with me .
I want to make myself look hot for him but Im kind of torn look like I havent slept in years .
She studied me for a moment and then a smile tipped the corner of her lips .
I wasnt going to say anything , but yeah .
You kind of look ke crap , she teased .
+25 BONUS Chapter 0234 I frowned at her and narrowed my eyes .
You are one of talk , I teased right back .
Her cheeks grew red from embarrassment , and I nudged her with my shoulder .
Im kidding , I assured her .
I get it .
Honestly , I think we could both use the distraction .
You think I can help you get dressed for your not date ? She asked .
I laughed at her choice of words and nodded .
You have incredible style and Im honestly jealous of how well you can do your own makeup .
I was wondering if you could maybe do that for me ? She lit up at my words and nodded eagerly .
Yes , I can do that .
Thats actually the perfect distraction .
wanted to be a makeup artist for a long time , she admitted .
I frowned .
Why didnt you ? She shrugged .
School costs a lot of money and I dont have that kind of money yet .
Thats why Im working here … so I can earn enough to put myself through school , she told me .
I understood that better than anyone .
It made me respect Harper that much more .
I get it , I told her .
Thats kind of why I tutor Matthew .
Im putting myself through school too .
She raised her brows .
You are ? She asked .
Whats your major ? Combat and defense , I told her .
Im doing Gamma warrior training .
That explains why you train Matthew in combat , she said thoughtfully .
I nodded .
What makes you want to be a gamma warrior ? She asked I want to protect the werewolf Kingdom , I admitted .
