Chapter 2
Ride- Carry Brothers
~Cassandra~
"She has beautiful hair from her father." Emily said as Kim and Leah fussed over my hair. They we're helping me get ready for graduation. Refusing to put on makeup I told them to go help the boys get ready. My hair is down to my elbow and too much of a hassle to style but any Quileute girl would kill for my hair.
"Yes that's why she should leave it out. In plus the cap is going to cover the top of it." Kim said.
"True." Emily said.
"Fine then I can get dressed?" I said.
"Yes." Emily said hugging me. "I'm so proud of you." She said.
"I know…" I smiled hugging her tightly. Letting go I looked at her as she beamed happily.
"I wish Jacob, Embry, and Quil were graduating too." She sighed as she left. Smiling I closed my door so I could get changed. We are the same age but Jacob, Quil and Embry didn't have enough credits to graduate so they'll be graduating next year. Putting on my graduation dress, I sat down in my window seat.
Looking out at the cliffs and the water and over the dense woods I felt great. After this summer I'd probably never be sitting here again. Getting up I sighed and grabbed my heels and put them on as I was going down the stairs. Emily was setting out her humongous cup cakes and Kim was helping. Parker was outside talking with Sam and the guys were playing football.
"You look gorgeous!" Kim said.
"Yes you do… you have a perfect figure." Emily said playfully pouting.
"Are you kidding me? You guys are perfect. I don't know I don't feel too good." I said.
"Come here." Emily said feeling my head and I saw something flash in her eyes.
"What?" I said. The glass plate she was holding slipped from her hands. "Emily." I said and she snapped out of her trance.
"Emily." Kim said rushing over. Kim looked at Emily and she must have understood because she then felt my head and the same thing flashed in her eyes.
"Emily?" Sam called and everyone came inside.
"I'm fine, everything's fine." She said as she frantically picked up the pieces.
"I'll do it." I said kneeling next to her.
"No."She said dropping the glass in her hand. "I mean… I'm sorry Cass." She said before getting up and going up stairs.
"Emily?" I said as everyone watched her. Parker rubbed my back soothingly.
"She's just a little emotional about you graduating and leaving." Kim said.
"I should go talk to her." I said.
"No… you stay, I'll talk to her. We have to get going." Sam said brushing my hair back and going upstairs. Nodding everyone was le in an awkward silence.
"Come on Cass. Let's go get you cap and gown on. Can someone pick out the glass?" Kim said as she took my hand. We moved and dent to go back upstairs. Parker watched me and I gave him an apologetic smile. Going into my room I put on my cap and gown. "We'll take pictures and everything." Kim said excitedly.
She wasn't the best liar but she wasn't completely lying. She was excited but there was something was wrong. Jared called for Kim and she went with him and they seemed to be having a low argument. Parker was sitting awkwardly with Jacob, embry and Quil in the living room so I nodded to the back door before leaving. His footsteps followed. Sitting on the chairs on the porch he sat next to me.
"You okay?" He said.
"I don't know. Now I'm feeling a little sick but I think it's just nervousness." I said.
"Don't be nervous. You'll be fine and when you start your speech just look at one person in the crowd. A person you trust and love that makes you feel okay. Like Em, or Sam or Jared, or Kim, or Leah or even Paul." He said taking my hand.
"Or you." I added. He smiled.
"Or me." he said.
"Saturday we leave for New York… I don't know if I want to go…" I said.
"I know… you want to have as much time with them as possible. Which is why I got plane tickets are for whenever and not for just me and you." He said. Smiling I squeezed his hand.
"Thanks." I said leaning over and kissing his cheek quickly.
"Now go graduate." He said smiling.
"Come on." I said getting up. Going back inside everyone was ready to leave. Driving to the high school I felt so happy. My best friend, Hailey came running over to me. Hugging her back she smiled.
"This is it!" She smiled.
"I know!" I said.
"Hey Parker." She waved.
"You guys better go in before they start." Sam said. We went in and went to get lined up. Everyone was missing besides Parker who was sitting. He waved and gave me thumbs up.
The music started and everyone slowly shuffled up to sit. Once we were seated e listened to the principle with his same speech for as long as he's been principle of the school and I saw the group come in and sit down. Emily waved and smiled. She took a picture and the ceremony continued. When everyone stood for their diplomas I smiled and waited for the person in front of me to go.
"Cassandra Uley…" The principle announced and the cheers rose. Going and getting my diploma I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. Going to sit in the crowd, Hailey came behind me. Once everyone was finished the principle announced my speech. Everyone cheered as I went up to the podium. Taking a deep breath I started.
"If I said I came prepared I'd be lying… when I sat down to write this speech nothing came to mind until I started to think about my future. When we were younger we all wanted to do silly things like a fireman, or astronaut or in my case ballerina." I started earning chuckles from everyone. Looking around I looked at Parker who was sitting next to Jacob. "But nothing prepares you for the real world and if you asked us again today some people might have an answer but others don't. Honestly right now live… Let go, and spend your last summer home, well for some of us it's the last summer home, happily surrounded with people you love. Do crazy things like jump around and sing horribly in your pajamas, or drive until you're lost and discover a new restaurant that becomes your favorite. Be happy, go to the beach, or take a trip, remember to take a lot of pictures. But most importantly remember to make memories that'll last a lifetime with the people you love…"I finished and smiled. My view had changed from Parker to Jacob. Jacob gave me a small smile as he stood with everyone else and cheered.
~Jacob~
"You know you three should be graduating today too." Was the first thing Sam said as we all collected at Emily's house.
"Yeah the red head's been missing for a year." Jared said tauntingly.
"Yeah but Jake's so busy fawning over Isabella Swan to care." Paul smirked making him and Jared laugh.
Sam left us to go talk to Parker. Everyone was so interested in him but I wasn't. He was here for Cass, like grim reaper comes for a person who's dying, to take her. He was going to take her away from me. Embry and Quil joined Seth, Paul, and Jared in a game of football while I looked at Sam talk to Parker. They were talking about the trip to New York. Embry came to me.
"It's not fair to Cass, Jake." He said.
"What?" I said.
"You're ignoring her and pining after Bella but as soon as her friend comes back and shows slight feelings for her you go all imprint mode." He said.
"I'll do what I want." I said brushing him off. The sound of a glass plate breaking and Cass' voice sent everyone inside.
"Emily." Sam said as we all went inside. Emily was knelt down picking up glass shards and Cass knelt down next to her helping her pick them up.
"No…" Emily snapped at her. "I mean… I'm sorry, Cass." He said before getting up and crying leaving Cass there confused as she stood. Parker moved next to her and rubbed her back making me growl lowly. Sam gave me a pointed look.
"Emily?" Cass said as everyone watched Emily run upstairs.
"She's just a little emotional about you graduating and leaving." Kim said.
"I should go talk to her." Cass said.
"No… you stay, I'll talk to her. We have to get going." Sam said brushing her hair back and going upstairs.
"Come on Cass. Let's go get you cap and gown on. Can someone pick out the glass?" Kim said as she took Cass' hand. Leah cleaned it up and everyone went to listen to what's wrong with Emily.
"Sam she's sick." Emily said.
"So, everyone gets a cold she'll be fine." Sam said.
"No Sam, she's going to phase!" Emily exclaimed and the house became deadly silent besides Cass and Kim upstairs. Leah gave looked at me before going outside to calm down her shaking. Everyone was in so much shock we stayed silent.
"It's impossible." Sam said.
"No it's not look at Leah!" Emily cried.
Cass came down and went outside with Parker. Filling my head with different thought I tried not to listen to their conversation. Everyone else had to because we could hear everything. Leah came back in just as Emily came downstairs with Sam. Cass came back in with Parker and we decided to leave. Sam called a pack meeting in the parking lot. We let Cass, Parker and some other girl go in.
"I know you all heard and I want out to watch out for her." Sam said.
"What if she phases?" Leah said. This was a question we all wanted to avoid but it had to be said.
"Then she phases and we make sure she's safe." Sam said.
"Oh boy this is going to be good." Paul said taunting me.
"Shut up, Paul." I growled.
"Enough can you please just act like nothing's wrong." Emily said giving us all pleading looks. We all went in and sat down.
Looking at Embry and Quil I knew they were happy because if she phased we'd be able to be friends again and we'd be the only friends she had like before we phased and she got popular. After Sam said we were okay to even be around her she was barely home whether it was tutoring or cheerleading or her boyfriend or party's.
When I saw her the first day back at school I imprinted. Everyone knew and it was even more of an urge for us to be friends with her. She was dating some guy named Marcus and I'm in love with Bella so I figured she'd be better off. Embry and Quil heard me saying she might be better off without us and they came to see it was kind of true but they bug me all the time about the imprint. It's always there and whenever I see her, my stomach feels funny and my heart feels like its soaring.
Now we realized she's destined to be with us imprint or not. The part that scared me the most was she was going to be fighting vampires just like us. Her contact with the red head made me even angrier. She has nightmare all the time about her and she has good reason to except she's been gone for almost a year now. But I have a feeling something's brewing. Eventually we'll be happy and I'll have Bell.
Cass was up for her speech and she started and I listened to her heart beating wildly as she was so nervous. She looked out into the crowd and searched for someone. She looked at Parker who's sitting next to me. My heart sank as she stared at him but when she stopped her eyes flickered to mine. She continued and I saw out of the corner of my eye Parker look at me then to her. once she finished I gave her a small smile as everyone cheered.
Once the graduation was over Cass came running to Sam. She was a head shorter than all of us and she looked small compared to us. She then hugged Emily and everyone was congratulating her. Watching her she smiled at Parker who said something in her ear and she smiled before looking over at me.
"Thank you." She mouthed before smiling up at Parker. He took something out of his pocket to give to her and she was so surprised and happy. She hugged him.
"What is it?" She asked opening the small box. She pulled out a silver chained necklace with diamond studded CJ on it. She smiled holding it up. "Thank you! I promise I'll never take it off." She said hugging him again. He helped her put it on and Sam came to me.
"That could've been you." He said.
"So what difference is it going to make now." I said.
"You know Jacob, if I weren't alpha, I'd hurt you for hurting her. she's my little sister and I love her so much and to know that I'm going to lose her because your selfish it makes me want to kill you." He said.
"Thanks for the honesty." I said sarcastically.
"he wants to marry her." Sam said nonchalantly and I laughed.
"Right." I said.
"I'm serious he's hopelessly in love with her and she will fall in love with him if you don't do something." He said before leaving for Emily. Looking at Cass she was hugging Parker as Emily took their picture. I'd never lose Cass.
Sam put me on late patrol and I couldn't help but go and see Cass like I do almost every night. Unsurprisingly she was still awake. She was looking out her window until Parker came up behind her. They were talking.
"We'd be happy together." Parker said.
"I don't know Parker… together?" Cass said.
"Think about it. Me and you and two perfect children living somewhere nice and happy." he said.
"Parker." She said turning to look at him but he cut her off by smashing himself to her. His hands were all over her as he kissed her. Everything turned red and I was about run into the house when Jared came to stop me.
"Move." I roared
"Jacob you'll hurt Cassie." Jared said calmly.
Growling I ran off and howled painfully. Jared didn't come after me and I ran and ran and ran until the sun came up. Everything kept replaying in my head taunting me. Sam was right. Cass would leave me.
