Laughing Outside Crying Inside Novels & Stories

"Sienna, we are out! We are outside, away from that shit hole!" I screamed inwardly to my wolf, running as fast as my legs could carry me, tears of joy splattering over my face as I laughed cheerfully with my wolf, who seemed to be even happier than I was as it leaped and backflipped inside me with howls that had so much joy.

“Soooo bad, Declan. You’re dumb. Trying to get us to eat lunch together, for fuck’s sake.” The confused look on Declan’s face mirrored his total lack of understanding from earlier so perfectly that I couldn’t take it.

A hard, painful laughter that had nothing to do with joy.

I wiped my tears, getting myself together making sure I looked a bit presentable. The door was opened, swinging wide open and oohh my, there were people just outside talking about how I was still in there. I wanted to die, my heart shuttering with the girls turning to me. I held my head high; it was all I could do. I walked past them only for them to burst in nothing but laughter, laughter so loud it echoed all through the house.
