Let's Play Pretend Chapter 2: Unofficial sister
I remember sleeping for half an hour, before I heard slamming of doors and lots of voices. I remember hearing yelling, and a little girl crying about spilled milk. Literally, spilled milk. That's about it. Well before I fell back on me pillow. I looked around the room and sighed. I felt so empty. I wanted my parents back! I want a father who cares about me and who protects me. I want a mother who gives me advice and who yells at me for giving attitude. But I'd never have that now.
"Excuse me? Natalie? Are you awake?" I didn't say anything. I waited until the mystery guy knocked. He did and then I said that he could come in. He came in and I saw that it was Sam. I shrunk back a bit and tried to hide my face.
"Emily wanted me to come and see if you were awake." I nodded and turned away from him. I started shedding tears and I waited until the door was closed to actually start sobbing. I thought I'd heard it so I started sobbing when I felt the bed move. I turned back at saw Sam staring at me.
"Sam? Is she awake?" Emily walked in and she saw me in tears. She sat beside Sam and she looked at me with concern.
"Natalie? Are you okay?" I shook my head and started sobbing all over again. Sam excused himself to go and deal with the mystery people downstairs. Emily smiled at me and she handed me a tissue.
"Do you want to talk about it Natalie?" I shook my head and blew my nose. Emily smiled and she stood up.
"Alright. Come down anytime that you want. If you're not down in a little while, I'll send someone up to bring you some food okay?" I nodded and Emily walked out of the room. I waited until she was gone, then I cried once again.
Embry's POV
I hated sitting here watching everyone being all over each other. It was quite sickening. As much as I wanted an imprint, I was happy being single. Although I did want to fall in love and start a family, I didn't want an imprint in high school. And so far I got my wish.
"You excited to meet the new girl man? Emily and Sam's new adopted daughter?" I rolled my eyes at Quill who was running behind Claire trying to get her to get her coat on so we could leave.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Jared shrugged and walked into the house trying to find Kim. Once he found her, he ran over to her and picked her up and spun her around before kissing her.
"Wuil? Why are tey issing?" Quil looked down at Claire and picked her up and walked over to the TV and plopped down on the couch distracting her with cartoons.
Emily smiled and said hi to us before walking upstairs. I heard a door click and then I sat down beside Quil. I heard Emily walk downstairs with a big smile on her face. She walked over to Sam and kissed his lips.
"Is she coming down?" Emily nodded and kissed Sam again.
"Yes. She's nervous though." Sam nodded and once again kissed Emily before getting out attention.
"Alright. Natalie is about to come downstairs. Be nice to her and don't make her nervous." We all nodded and I rolled my eyes. Yeah. Sure. Whatever.
I heard footsteps on the stairs but I didn't turn around to look at her like every other person. I concentrated on watching cartoons with Claire.
"Emily? Who are these people?" I heard the sweetest softest voice ever. I turned around and felt the world shift. I looked at her. She was beautiful. Straight blonde, beautiful blonde, hair and the most amazing shade of green eyes. I could stare into them all day. She was short and pale, but she was curvy and beautiful. She was the one. She was my world. I would do anything for her. I wanted to be there for her. I wanted to hold her. I wanted to love her.
"Embry. Outside. Now." I didn't move. I just stared at her with such...adoration. I didn't look away. Even as Sam was dragging me outside. No. I didn't want to look away. I was afraid that if I had looked away it would turn out to be just a dream.
Natalie's POV
I saw a whole bunch of people looking at me. I didn't really like all the attention, but it didn't look like they would stop anytime soon. There were five HUGE guys that looked like they could snap me instantly. I shied away from them, when they started getting louder and louder.
"Natalie, sweetie, this is Jared and his girlfriend Kim." I saw Jared holding her and it looked like he was going to break her. He had big muscles and a strong jaw. He had tan skin and nice brown eyes. Kim was beautiful and I felt myself getting jealous of all the girls here. Kim had a round face with nice cheekbones, her hair was wispy and her skin was clear and tan. I was jealous. No point in denying it.
"This here is Quil, and the little girl is Claire." Quil was also huge, with the same muscles and tan skin. Quil was taller than Jared and he almost looked bigger, muscle wise. Claire was the cutest thing I had ever seen. She had black hair that was in pigtails and she had the cutest smile. She was just plain adorable.
"And these guys are Paul, Seth and Jacob." I looked at Paul and he gave me a really nasty glare. I paled even more and stepped away from all of them. I pulled my sweater closer and wrapped my arms around myself almost as if trying to protect myself.
Paul had black hair that cut short, and the tan skin and brown eyes. He wasn't as big as Quil, and he was on the shorter side of the five. Jacob had the tan skin, the eyes and the muscles. He was one of the taller ones and he seemed to have a little more muscle than Paul. Then there was Seth. Seth was by far the smallest of them all. He had the boyish look. He was kind of lanky and had the least muscle mass. He had shaggy dark brown hair and tan skin. He had lighter eyes, and he was in between in height. All in all I thought he was pretty cute. He was different.
"And this is Embry." I turned around and my breath caught in my throat. He was...amazing. He had the most amazing eyes I have ever seen. They were a deep brown, almost chocolate coloured. He was tall and muscular, and his hair cropped and a deep black. He was absolutely gorgeous. He was staring at me intensely and I felt very self conscious.
"Are you hungry Natalie?" I looked down and shook my head.
"I'm not very hungry right now. I'm just going to go to bed now." I really wanted to sleep.
"You really should eat something Natalie. You're too thin." I looked down at my feet and didn't say anything.
"Are you going to say anything or not?" I looked up at Paul and he was glaring at me, and he gave me a dirty look. I took a step backwards and started shaking. I was really scared of him.
"Leave her alone Paul! Can't you see she's terrified?!" Embry snarled from behind me. I turned around and ran past him and up to my room. I slammed my door and crawled under my blankets.
The way Embry looked at me. The way he looked at me wasn't right. He looked at me like he was in love. He can't be in love.
"Natalie? Are you okay?" It was Sam. I didn't say anything. I closed my eyes and tried to force myself to sleep. Sam walked in and leaned against the door frame and coughed.
"I k now you're not asleep." I groaned and threw the covers off of myself and rubbed my temples.
"Don't worry about what Paul said. He's got an attitude problem." I nodded and Sam looked extremely uncomfortable.
"I'll get Emily. You look like you need to talk to...well...not me." Sam walked out and I started tearing up again. I heard a knock on the door and someone walked in.
"Hey kid. You alright?" The girl had perfect skin, long eye lashes and not only that she was tall and thin.
"Who are you?" The girl sighed and stuck out her hand. I looked at it and then I looked at her again.
"I'm Leah. Anyway, are you okay or what?" It took me a couple seconds before I started crying again. I don't know why I was so emotional today.
"My parents died by some kind of bear. And I don't fit in! And I don't wanna fall in love!" Leah sighed and she sat down on my bed and listened to me cry.
"I got the same problem as you. I barely fit in with the guys downstairs, my dad passed away, my heart got ripped out and I don't want to believe in love." I sniffled and wiped away my tears and laughed bitterly.
"I'm a mess right now. I'm 16 years old and I'm crying like I'm 3." Leah smiled at me and leaned back.
"You should've seen me when Sam broke up with me. I was a mess too. Don't fret about the crying. Not many people have enough guts to admit to crying and being a mess." I nodded and Leah stood up and stretched.
"I'm gonna go eat. I'm hungry." Leah stood up and walked to the door when I stopped her.
"Thanks Leah." She nodded and smiled back at me.
"Think of me as your unofficial sister." I nodded and she closed the door and walked out. It was nice to actually have a sister like person who cared about me.
