Chapter 1
It was the first week at school after the break. I was so bored. Nothing was going to cheer me up, unless Lucy would like to go out with me today. Sitting in my Biology class, I had no clue what the teacher was talking about. Guess it had something to do with cells. I wasn't planning to go to college, so my grades didn't matter that much.
Jacob sat next to me. He wasn't paying attention either; he had this distant look in his eyes. That was the look when he thought about Nessie. I started to tap my finger against the desk. I was kind of jealous for Jake and for Quil, Sam, Paul and Jared. They all were so happy. I would have done anything to feel that way. The only love that I was getting at the moment was the one that my pack and Emily gave me. I wasn't even sure if my own mom loved me any more. We were growing apart, and it was all because of this werewolf thing. I really loved being a werewolf, but it would be nicer if my mom knew what I was doing.
"Embry, what's wrong?" Jake asked me. So he had finally stopped thinking about Nessie.
"Nothing. Let's go eat," I murmured. Food would distract Jacob. I didn't want to whine about my non-existing problems. My cell phone beeped in my pocket. I received a text message from Lucy. She wanted to know if we were going to do something today. Yes! I thought to myself. That was just the kind of thing I wanted to do right now.
How about a movie? I wrote.
Sure. What time you'll pick me up?
I'll be there at 6 o'clock. OK?
See you then!
Date settled. Thank God I wasn't on patrol today. I just wanted to have a nice peaceful day with my soon-to-be-girlfriend. And that didn't include my brothers.
Paul, Quil and Jared were already sitting on the cafeteria when Jacob and I arrived. They had the normal size food portion in front on them. Every one who wasn't a werewolf would think that as a huge amount of food.
"Hi guys," Jared said, stuffing more food in his mouth. I grabbed my sandwich, and started eating.
"Coming over to Sam's after school?" Jake asked all of us. Paul shook his head.
"Nope. I have a date with your sister," he said and winked.
"Keep your plans to yourself!" I exclaimed and acted like I was throwing up. Jared and Paul laughed. Jake didn't look too happy.
"Relax Jake! You'll see what happened anyway," Jared laughed. Jake glared back.
"Thanks for the reminder," Jake murmured. He was quite touchy about this whole Paul imprinting on Rachel. Well yeah, guess it was kind of gross to watch that stuff from Paul's head. And she was Jake's sister.
"Guess I'll go over for a couple of hours," I said, answering Jake's earlier question. Jared's brows knit together.
"Only for couple of hours?" Well, I guess that it was strange of me. Usually I stayed at Sam's for the whole day. I wasn't exactly interested of going home and hang out with my mom. The pack was my only family and my only friends. It was hard to get a good relationship with anyone, if you had to keep so big secrets from them.
"Paul's not the only one who's got a date," I informed them.
"Ooh…Who is she?" Quil asked. I rolled my eyes at them. They were getting pretty over exited about me dating. They didn't want me to feel like an outsider now, ever since all of them had imprinted.
"Lucy. She's from Forks. I have been out with here a couple of time you know. You've all seen her." Why would they remember my random dates?
"Ah! The shy girl, right?" Jake asked.
"Just the type what Embry likes!" Jared announced.
"Guess he likes to be the domineering one," Paul laughed. They all burst into laughter. I sighed.
"Get a life, morons," I said and stood up. I was just about to walk away from the cafeteria, when I heard Quil's voice.
"But Embry! You're my life!" I didn't turn to look at them. I just gave them the finger.
Jake drove us to Sam's. The Rabbit was kind of small for guys like us. Thank God the drive wasn't long.
"Emily's baking!" Quil said, thrilled, and ran into the house. Jake, Jared and I walked calmly after him. Collin, Brady and Seth were already sitting on the table, eating fresh baked muffins.
"Hi Emily!" I blurted. Emily had bright smile on her face, as usual.
"Hi boys. How's school?" she asked as she put new muffins down the table.
"Fine," we all murmured together.
"Boys, you really should work harder for school!" Emily was all about the education.
"It's not like we're going to college any way…" Jake said quietly.
"Still. Education is really important, you know. After all, I don't want to have a pack of stupid werewolves around when the baby comes!" she said. Everyone was suddenly really quiet.
"You…You're having a baby?" Seth asked. We all were staring at Emily. She nodded.
"Just found out this morning," she said. She was smiling widely. We were in shock. Seth was the first one to recover. He jumped up from his chair and went straight to hug Emily.
"That's so great! Congratulations!" We all hugged Emily in turn, and told her congratulations. I was so happy for Sam and Emily.
"Does Sam know?" Collin asked eagerly. Emily laughed.
"Of course, you silly! Do you think that I would have told you if Sam didn't know?"
"I really hope it's a boy," Brady said after a minute. We all laughed. I guess it would be more fun to have a baby boy around. Claire was enough of the baby girls.
Sam arrived an hour later. He came straight to kitchen where we sat. His face brightened when he saw Emily. He ran straight into Emily's arms and started to kiss her so passionately, that I had to turn my head away. It was a bit too much emotion for me.
"Oh, get a room you two!" Quil cried and covered his eyes. Sam pulled away from Emily and rolled his eyes at Quil.
"I don't think that would do any good. I already have my own house, and I still can't have a minute on my own!" The kitchen suddenly filled with laughter. We truly were like one big family.
"I have to go now," I said at five o'clock. I had to take a shower before picking Lucy up.
"Have fun with your girlfriend," Brady said.
"Whatever." Why couldn't they just mind their own business?
My mom wasn't home when I arrived. I was relieved, not enjoying having to answer all my mom's stupid questions of what I was doing and who was I with. I ran upstairs to my room. I was really untidy. All my clothes, dirty and clean, were on the floor. I had few posters of my favorite bands on the wall, my desk was covered in books, and my bed was unmade. It was kind of homey. My room was comfortable, kind of like me.
I stripped and headed to the shower. I heard the door open in downstairs when I opened the faucet. Mom was home from her grocery run.
I showered quickly, put a towel around my waist, and walked to my room to get ready.
I picked one of my many black t-shirts. I found a pair of jean shorts and put them on. I was ready to go. But first I had to face my mom.
"Where do you think you're going, Embry?" I turned just to see my mother's angry face when I got to downstairs. My mom was a small woman. She had the same russet skin and the same black hair that I had. My relationship with mom never had been good. Not even before she thought I was doing drugs.
"If you really have to know, I'm going to Port Angeles with Lucy", I snapped. I knew that she was just worried about me, but I really didn't like that she have to stick her nose into my business.
"Who is Lucy?" Mom shouted. But I had already turned my back to her and was walking away. I had promised to pick Lucy up.
I parked my black pick-up truck in front of Lucy's house. Lucy was already waiting for me on the porch. I smiled when I saw her. She was just the kind of girl that I liked; pretty, feminine and small. Lucy had long curly blonde hair and green eyes. This was the third time I was going out whit her. She was really nice, maybe a bit shy, but really fun to be whit. She covered her head with her hands as she run to my car. It never stops raining in here.
"Hello," she greeted me. I didn't want to waste any words, so I leaned towards her, kissed her gently, then pulled away. We really weren't yet in a passionate state in our relationship, but that was fine by me.
We didn't talk much on the way to Port Angeles. We were going to catch a movie. Some chick flick. Lucy had picked it, obviously. I decided to just going to watch her during the whole thing.
"Lucy, do you want something to eat?" I asked when we walk into the movie theater.
"Some popcorn would be nice," she said. God, she was pretty.
"Sure thing!"
I didn't see an employee behind the counter. So we went to the counter to wait until the employee came back.
"You want small or large?" I asked Lucy while we waited.
"What ever you want," Lucy said with a smile.
"Large it is," I said and smirked.
The employee arrived. I just froze. I couldn't think straight. Something hit me hard. There was an odd feeling in my stomach. I felt dizzy. This couldn't be happening to ME. Jake really had it right, gravity moved. She was suddenly my sun. My life. She was every thing I needed. I had seen this through my brothers' minds. But when it actually happens to you…
She was the most beautiful thing in the world. She had long black hair. It reached all the way to her waist. She was tall, about 5´8´´. And her eyes… They were steel gray. So piercing. It was like she could see all the way to my soul. Her face was heart-shaped. Her lips were quite small. She looked very sporty, but also very exotic.
I couldn't believe that I stood in front of my other half. My soul mate. The love of my life. She was my everything. I wanted to touch her brown skin. I never had wanted something so much. I wanted to be with her every second. I wanted to know everything about her. I wanted to know how she would feel in my arms. Bur I didn't want to scare her of. I loved her, and I didn't want her to hate me.
"Hi," I whispered. She had this strange look in her eyes. It was kind of amused, but there was something more... I think I saw disbelief. Suddenly the smile disappeared from her beautiful face. There was no emotion in her words.
"How can I help you?" I couldn't think anything to say. I was speechless. Her voice was more beautiful than anything. Even when it was so cold and bored. I had finally discovered my favorite singer.
"Um...Large popcorn, please?" was all I managed to say. She turned to fill the cup with popcorn. I gave the money for her before she could ask. I wanted to please her every way as possible.
"Have a nice evening," she said. She gave the change to me. I wanted to stay with her. Then I felt Lucy's arm on my waist. I wanted to push her away. What was I supposed to tell Lucy? Hi Lucy. I really can't date you any more, because I just found my other half. I had to think something. And very fast.
"Embry, come on! Were going to miss the movie," Lucy's voice said. She started to pull me away from the counter. I saw my soul mate trying to hide her smile. I didn't want her to hide it! I wanted to make her happy, to see her laugh.
But I had to go with Lucy. I was going to break up with her after the movie. I shot one last glance at my soul mate. I loved her so much.
I wanted to see her. She was everything to me now. I had never guessed that this would happen to me. I always thought that I would be the one with "normal" life. I never wanted that. But now I was thrilled. I loved her. I wanted her. I wanted to know everything about her. But I was stuck with Lucy and I couldn't even see her face anymore. Now that I had met her, I wondered what had I ever seen in Lucy. She was nothing compared to her.
