Angela

Chapter 1: End

If you were given the choice of life and death, what would you chose? Nothing would happen to them.

I wouldn't allow it. No matter how much it hurt me.

The waves that were more out into the sea was much more massive and aggressive than the ones on shore. I glanced up at the sky. It was dark and gray. The sun looked like a white ball, peaking from the grayness.

I was so stupid for believing in him. Those words cut me deep inside. It kept on playing on my head: I never loved you.

I remember the day when I saw the wolves jumping from off the cliffs. The more I think about him, the more it was killing me.

The wind blew stronger as the rain began to pour down. His voice was calling for me. My mind complete shuts itself down. Nothing is going to stop me now.

And then I jumped.


In the hot summer humidity of the small town of Forks, I got hotter as my boyfriend, Ben, who I was in love with, told me these heart-breaking words.

"You don't want me anymore?"

Ben only stares at me, his face covered in complete shame and relief. I tried to think what have I done wrong to cause this?

"Angela, we're too…different." Ben explains.

"How?" I asked, with a hint of anger.

He looks down at the sidewalk and mutters something I couldn't understand.

"In high school, it was like a high for me," Ben said, never made eye contact. "But now, you're in Alaska and I'm at Virginia Tech, it's just that…."

"You…don't…love…me?" I muttered, lowing my head.

"No."

I huff. "Well, that's a bullshit." But the way I said it had no type of positive or negative emotion. Like I was so numb. Ben was my first and only boyfriend of my entire life. I'll do anything for him.

"Angel-"

I shivered when he called me by nickname. He tired to touch me but I back away from him. I hugged myself and closed my eyes.

"Don't." My voice was a whisper now.

"I'm seeing someone."

Those words stabbed me deep into my heart and I swear that I almost died. I could feel his hand trying to make contact; again I step back from him. I slowly look up to meet his face.

Looking into his eyes, I saw another person. And I made myself think that this is not the Ben I knew and love. This was another person who is playing a sick joke on me.

"We're done," His voice was harsh.

It made the black hole in my heart to deepen. At those last words, Ben walks away from me, gets into his car, and drives off.

So there I was, standing in 80-degree weather outside of my parent's house, heartbroken. Everything inside of me just shuts down.

I didn't know how long I was standing there when my mother called me.

"Angela!"

I snapped my head to her direction, fighting back the tears. "Yes?"

Her expression went from cheerful to concern. "What happen?"

"It's nothing, Mom." I assure her. "I'm fine."

"Where's Ben?"

I wasn't ready to tell her that my boyfriend and her favorite had just broken up with me and left me for someone else.

"He…went home." I lied.

"And not say goodbye to me?" My mother said, a little upset. When Ben and I were in high school, he would come over and was a gentleman to my parents and the perfect playmate for my brothers.

"It was some important."

She pressed her lips together. "That's not like him."

No, that is like him. Now.


I went into my old room. It was still the same. The raspberry color walls with light green flower vines in the middle. My bed still had the red sheets with the black designs on it with my favorite black pillow.

Typical mom.

I let myself fall onto the bed. Signing, I let my tears fall. I know I said this about a hundred times but how the hell could Ben do this to me? To us? I though we had a good relationship, I mean I called him every chance I get. I was trying to make it work because that's what people do.

But I guess Ben didn't want to make it work.

"Maybe I should call Jess," I mutter.

Jessica also went to the same university as Ben. We were the best of friend ever since grade school. I would tell her my secrets as she would tell me hers. I dialed her number and waited.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Jess! It's me Angie." I felt better, a little.

"Oh…Angela. I didn't…" I heard her moan a bit. I raised an eyebrow. "It's good to here from you."

"Ben broke up with me." I blurted.

"Really?" I got more suspicious because she said it like it wasn't news to her. I got disgusted when I heard Jessica moan more loudly into the phone.

"Damn, you feel so good. Angela won't let me get this far."

That was Ben's voice. "Jessica how could you?"

"It's not-"

I ended the call refusing to listen to anymore to what Jessica Stanley had to say. As I bask in the anger, I couldn't help but to remember how Jessica acts around Bella back in high school. The way she stared at Bella with pure hate, mostly because Bella was dating Edward Cullen, who Jessica had a crush on and rejected her advances. I though that it was my mind playing tricks.

Speaking of Bella Swan or Mrs. Edward Cullen, I haven't seen her since the wedding. Maybe I should give her a call. Out of everyone I knew Bella was a true friend.

My eyelids got heavier until sleep finally claims me.


Embry

I paced to the shore, my fist in pockets. Nobody noticed me twice when I through the dirt lot of First Beach. The best thing about summer was that nobody really cares about what you wear.

I sat on in the sand close enough to let waves hit me.

I was so annoyed.

This imprinting thing is way out-of-control. First Sam, Jared, Paul, Quil, Jacob and Seth. Leah and me were the only wolves who haven't found our "soul mates". The crazy thing about this was whom they imprinted on. Jake imprinted on the Cullen's daughter, Nessie and so did Seth with Bree. But they're both half human and half vampires.

No matter- what stage-like tie the knot like Sam or much-abused nanny Quil-the whole imprinting thing is down right stupid as hell.

I heard the sound of howling erupting from the forest. I rolled my eyes. Must be Jake. Great. What the hell does he want?

As soon as I was deep in the forest where no human could see me, I felt the fire trembling to my spine. The heat flooded through me, and I felt the silent shimmer that made me something else. I threw my heavily paws against the earth's floor, howling.
