A/N: Hi! Sorry it took so long to update… ^^ Anyway, this chapter is based on Carrie Underwoods' Jesus Take the Wheel.

Chapter 2: Jesus Take the Wheel

BPOV

Carlie was asleep in the backseat. It took a while for her to calm down. I knew of only 1 place to go. Home. I haven't had the chance to call Charlie or Renee. Who, by the way, was back together. About 4 years ago, Phil got diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away soon after. Charlie helped Renee get through it. They've been together ever since.

It was late, or very early in the morning. 6 a.m. to be exact. Driving to Forks was harder than I thought. I knew the way from Port Angeles, but as I got closer, the road seemed different. I felt lost. There was snow on the road so I couldn't be far.

My ribs started to ache. At the spot Jeremy 'attacked' last night. Mental note; go to doctor. I decided to stop at the shoulder of the road since it's getting slippery.

I lay my head on the steering wheel. What have I done? 'Protecting your daughter, that's what' a little voice in my head said.

I decided to go out and have a cigarette. I've managed to stay away from this habit for 4 years. Why am I starting now? 'You're scared, you need something familiar' the voice said again.

Just then I saw a shadow. It was moving, fast. A predator, most likely; it was hunting season, right when the bears were about to hibernate. I wanted to run, but I couldn't. I was paralyzed. I wanted to make my legs move, get into the car and drive out of there. But my body wouldn't allow me.

It reminded me of the time in Port Angeles when Edward had come to the rescue. I put my balled up fists in front of me just as Jeremy had taught me to before he left to be posted. God, where am I supposed to hit? Oh, God, please let whoever it is not find my daughter.

The rustling grew louder and I saw a wolf? Is that right? A gigantic wolf. Then it withdrew.

"Bella?" I could hear from behind the shadows

"Monster?" I called back with a scared voice

"No. It's me, Embry" He said "Can you hand me a blanket or something?" He asked

I went to the car and got our a blanket and threw it to the shadows

"Thanks," He said as he emerged from the forest "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, vacation," I said before hugging him "Thank God you're warm." "Yeah, you know, we wolves are. I still can't believe Jake told you"

"Yeah, me neither,"

"So how come you were so frightened?" He asked

"Well, I've only seen Jake in wolf form. Not the others"

"Right! Oh, is that Carlie? Man, she's gotten so big!"

"Well," I said as I moved to get Carlie out of the car "it's been like 5 years." I said as I lifted Carlie out of the car

"Oh, here, let me" He said as he took her from my arms "Let me get the bags as well"

Embry juggled Carlie and the bags just fine. It amazed me how strong he was. But then again, he is a mythical creature. So then, 10 minutes later, we were on our way to my parents' house. We decided to walk as the road was way too slippery and I didn't bring my snow tires.

"So, where are we, exactly?"

"Oh, we're in La Push. The road to Forks is being reconstructed so they've built an alternative to use in the meanwhile. Don't worry, we should be there soon. They've also built a shot cut" He said with ease

True enough, not 10 minutes later we were there. I didn't recognize the house, at all

"Are you sure this is the right house?" I asked him

"Positive. Jake, Quil and I just had lunch here the other day. Your mom is a great cook!"

Mom? A great cook? The woman who misplaces her keys and found them in the refrigerator? That mom? And the house! It was twice as big as it's supposed to be and it looks a little like the Cullens' estate

"So, I better get going. I don't want the chief to think I had my way with you. I'll drive your car round tomorrow morning. See ya Bells!" He said after handing me Carlie and putting the bags on the front porch

"Well, here goes nothing" I said to myself before ringing the doorbell. It opened soon, but revealed a face I didn't want to see and had tried so hard to forget these last 6 years. What the hell was she doing here?
