Hey, everyone!
The story is going to be written from Embry's point of view. Tell me if you like it, then I'll write more ;)
If you have any questions, wishes or remarks don't hesitate to review! :)
"I said I'd help her." Jake answered Melissa's previous question. "Are you serious?" she asked incredulously. "Yes!" Jake said impatiently.
Bella had asked Jake to help her repair some motorbikes she had found. Jake had agreed even though he knew it was a bad idea. The reason he had done it though was because he had a huge crush on her and wouldn't stop at anything to make her happy. The worst part about the situation was that Bella was in love with Edward who had left a few months ago, and thus had no interest in Jake.
This was why Melissa was angry. She wasn't angry at Jake or Bella. She was angry with the dreadful situation Jake was in. Of course she wanted him to be happy but there just didn't seem to be one good outcome. No matter bow one looked at it. Melissa shook her head. "I just want you to be careful." she said with a sigh. Jake smiled "I know but there's nothing you need to worry about."
She looked at me and I nodded in agreement. Jake could take care of himself. I could understand where she was coming from though. Her, Jake, Quil and I had been like family since elementary school. Melissa was worried for Jake. As for me, as much as I care about the guy, it was his problem. I had my own. I'm sure Melissa had her own too but she never talked about any of them. She never showed any weakness. It amazed me time and time again.
She frowned but accepted his statement. "I have to get to class." she said after a small pause "see you after school?" I watched her get up, her bag on her shoulder, before answering "Yeah." She left for her classroom and I was alone with Jake.
Usually Quil would be sat with us as well but he had a doctors appointment and wasn't there. "Are you ever going to ask her?" he finally asked after a long silence. I raised an eyebrow at him. "Yes. As soon as I'm ready for the rejection." I answered sarcastically. He laughed shaking his head "how can you be so sure she'll reject you?" "Because she sees me as a friend." I paused and then added "even if she didn't, why would she choose to spend her time with me when she could have anyone she wants." Jake smiled "what if she wants you?" I looked at the door she had left through. "If that should ever happen, I would never let her go." There was silence after I had spoken.
Jake knew that I meant what I had said. "Come on." he got up and announced "we should get to class."
English and history past fairly quickly and as the school bell rang I made my way towards my locker. Once there I waited for Melissa. We met at my locker every Tuesday and Friday so we could drive home together. Every other day she would go with either quil or Jake. She had a driving licence and could drive really well. But she didn't have a car because her family couldn't afford one. It didn't bother her though. She had once told me that I was far more fun driving with friends than alone. I smiled at the memory.
"Hey. Are you ready to go?" she asked pulling me out of my thoughts. "Yeah. Let's go."
In the car we were sat in a comfortable silence. "Quil and I are going to Jake's tomorrow. You feel like coming?" I asked. She looked at me apologetically "I'm not there tomorrow. I have to work." I nodded trying to reassure her that it wasn't a big deal.
Especially since she had to work twice a week to help out her family. I wish I could help as well but I knew she was too stubborn to accept my offers.
"I'm really sorry, Embry." she said. "It's fine." I smiled at her. She smiled back at me "another time, okay? Just don't hesitate to ask." I looked at her "I won't."
The next day I drove with Quil to Jake's house. "So now he's fixing motorbikes for her." he repeated what I had said and rolled his eyes. "It seems so." I replied as I parked in the drive way. We both got out and walked towards the shed behind the house where Jake would without a doubt be working on the bikes. "I bet he's been working on them since he got up." Quil said as he pulled open the door. I chuckled "I won't bet if I don't have a chance of winning." He laughed at my well put agreement to his statement.
