I woke up groggy, cracking my neck four or five times. I'd lost count so often, I didn't even attempt to check the clock I dropped out of high school so what's it matter what I did really? I threw my old sleeveless shirt and old sweat pants. It annoyed my mother to no end that in march I was still wearing summer clothes. I drudged down the stairs till I was at the landing starting to really wake up.

"Leah and Jacob called, Jacob said meet him at Nessies, before you see Leah, Leah said meet him at her place before you see Jacob." She wore a bemused look on her face. I didn't seem to notice it, Leah knew I'd go to see Jacob first, he never said the Cullens though because he knew how much that would make my mom tweak out, in truth Billy his father wasn't completely comfortable with him spending his time there.

"What's for breakfast mom?" I said cracking my back trying to fully wake up. Se gave me a sad look that said it all.

"Hey don't worry, I'll catch it with Jacob, he kinda owes me it." Besides the Cullens would just love to fire up their kitchen for another werewolf. It's not that I disliked the Cullens, well besides vampire Barbie, but they just kind of always made me uncomfortable.

I'd considered making the run in human form, but it was a long way and phased would be so much faster, why was I trying to avoid phasing? I stripped my clothes off and tied them to my ankle, and felt the heat shooting up my spine and a phased in to a wolf.

"So you're picking the bloodsuckers over me?" I didn't need to recognize the voice to know who it was, only one person in the pack still called them that.

"It's not that Lee, it's just that Jake is the Alpha, and well he probably just wants to tell me something," I'd much rather spend my day with Leah any day of the week then be around Nessie and her new slave. Leah chuckled thinking I didn't want her to hear that.

"Thanks, I'll see when you're done playing uncle."

"I'll call you if it's more then just that." Leah seemed okay with my answer. Her mind wandered to last night us sitting at the cliff.

"Thanks for being there Emb," I shrugged even though she couldn't see me.

"Yeah, it's nice talking to someone who isn't wrapped around a three year old." She laughed again.

"You have been really nice to me, you know, since I was such a bitch to you." her mind thought back to when she told the pack that my father was one of their dads. My mind automatically spun to Jacob and I walking on the beach, I knew more about that then anyone else did. Leah was obviously annoyed as she had also picked up when I was trying to hide something.

"What are you trying to hide?" I chuckled my mind now showing with I showed the rock to Jacob, but not the words I was saying.

"If I just told you what, or even what this memory means to me, I wouldn't be good at hiding secrets." Leah growled and I smiled.

"Well I'm at the Cullens I'll meet you at your house when I'm done."

I phased and redressed and bounded towards the Cullen's house remembering how hungry I was, You can't skip a meal as a giant Werewolf and not feel the affects. Edward usually is the one who opens the door for me, but today it was Carisle. My nose told me why as soon as I pasted Carisle. Edward was already cooking food. I felt slightly ashamed, I'd forgot he catches my thoughts. I didn't want to beg for food like a homeless child, I was embarrassed. Jacob was already eating which meant they hadn't prepared for me at all, Edward had picked the thought out of my head. He was getting better at reading my mind. A quiet chuckle escaped Edward's lips.

I could have hunted outside. I thought to myself knowing completely well that Edward would pick it up

"No, you're a guest at our house you, I wouldn't make you starve." Edward replied even though no one had said anything. I wondered how long it took his family to get used to him answering thoughts instead of questions.

"A decade or two." He laughed again as Esme joined him working on some pancakes. I had to admit, for people who never ate anything, Edward and Esme were very good cooks, they could start their own place, "grab a bite" I thought laughing to myself, this time Edward laughed with me. Bella joined by his side started making bacon and toast.

"What'd he say?" think I thought rolling my eyes. Edwards smile was still visible but I wasn't sure if it was because of my thoughts or Bella

"Well he thought Esme and I should start a food place called 'Grab a bite'" Edward finished chuckling again. Esme beamed, well as much as some one whose face couldn't change color could beam.

"What? Is my cooking not good enough?" Bella replied sounding slightly betrayed.

"Dear, you weren't cooking at the time, I'm sure he didn't mean to offend you." I flushed slightly did I really need to be that responsible of my thoughts around Edward? Edward shook his head in response to my thought.

I sat next to Jacob on the couch only then did I notice Nessie hanging off his other arm begging for all of his attention. Rosaline noticing my frustrating gliding over to the couch and pulling Renesmee off Jacob. Edward and Esme walked slower then Rosaline to bring my food, it seems silly, I knew they could move much faster, I wasn't in the most defensible position with eight vampires in the same house as I was. The though caused the hairs on my back to stand up, but I forced myself to relax, but it didn't seem natural my eyes focused on where my comfort came from. Two more vampires walked down the stairs together. I knew Alice had the ability to see the future, but I didn't know what her mate Jasper's ability was, did every vampire have a power?

I looked down at the food wondering if I should politely eat slowly, then my eyes turned to Jacob who was still throwing the last pancake in his mouth, nothing polite about it. Edward raised an eyebrow in amusement to my inner argument. He would enjoy that wouldn't he? I sighed and started throwing the food down my throat almost as fast and uncultured as Jacob, but I at least wiped my face off when something got on it.

"What did that bitch Leah want with you this early anyway?" anger rose through me but remembering Edward was there I starting singing Oh Canada

"OH CANADA OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND!" I yelled in my mind to keep any other thought out. Then I turned and saw Jasper growling at me and putting himself between Alice and myself, getting ready to spring on me. my mind immediately spun to him as a matched his stance. Jacob saw what happened and sprung in front of me not knowing what was going on.

"What, what is it?" My eyes didn't burn out my anger still flamed up, staring in to Jasper's eyes.

"I don't know." I said still staring at Jasper. Edward took a second but then he was in front of Jasper whispering to him. Jasper stood straight up, but still had an arm protecting Alice.

"It's fine, Embry, calm down." I breathed in slowly and felt the anger leave me. I sat there wondering what was Jasper's problem.

"He feels your anger, he just was protecting Alice." I was calm again and Jacob removed his hand from me. So his power was feeling feelings? Then I understood why I always felt calm around him.

"Seriously man what happened, why'd you flip?" my mind flashed to Leah, only for a millisecond but that was plenty of time for Edward to notice, my eyes turned to Edward. You better not tell him. I thought with a small amount of my left over anger, I must have gotten it all from her, I used to always be calm. No one could really do anything to me but… Oh, Canada our home and native land. I returned to knowing Edward was listening intently. Edward laughed to himself quietly. Bella was at his side.

"What is it?" She said putting an arm around Edward. Edward smiled.

"I didn't know Embry was Canadian" Jacob got the drift at me a shot me a look I could see what he wanted to ask, what are you hiding?If Edward kept his mouth shut maybe I could hide how much… True patriots love in all thy sons command. Edward had to work to conceal his amusement.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" I said getting tired of hiding my thoughts in my human form.

"Edward wanted to talk with you." Jacob said throwing his plate across the room to where Edward caught it without looking up. What does he want with me? I wondered.

"I wanted to have a chat, come Jake says you're a car lover, I want to show you something." I wondered if Jake actually once told him that or if Edward hadn't just picked it out of his head.

"The latter." He said responding to my thoughts. I had to laugh at that. I wondered how he could stand not being able to think openly anymore.

"Oh, he just doesn't care I think about him anymore, but I must say I understand him much more now." He opened the outside storage shed I a had to admire the Jeep, Audi, and Vanquish but my eyes were drawn to the faded car in the corner.

"You have to be kidding me." I said with my mouth hanging open, I didn't even try to hide my astonishment, hiding in the corner looking like a toy next to all the other cars was a corvette. From this angle I couldn't tell which year, I wasn't quite as good with cars as Jacob was. As I stepped closer I noticed it was a 1972, my favorite car, I'd told Jacob about it when I first saw one. I closed my mouth quickly trying to figure out what it was doing here.

"It's yours." I turned to look at Edward trying not to let my eyes bug out.

"Wha.. what do you mean it's mine?" I said not comprehending. Sure it wasn't in perfect shape, had a couple dents on the sides but I didn't understand, were they seriously giving me a car?

"Well, all it is right now is the body." Edward said responding to my though, as I got closer I realized he was right and there wasn't seats, or even wheels for that matter.

"Why?" I said still trying to comprehend.

"Oh, I found it in a junk yard, so I picked it up." I didn't believe that for a second, and he chuckled.

"Well that's the truth, I'm trying to pay back your pack for everything you've done for my family." I looked at the beautiful body trying to say no but it was much harder then I thought. Then I realized even with the body I couldn't afford to get it running.

"Yeah, we ordered the parts, you're going to help me put it together, I always wanted to fix up a classic car." Edward said smiling. In my mind my inner struggle continued. I wanted to tell him I didn't need it.

"I knew if I just handed you money you'd turn it down, I was hoping this would work better." He said grinning at the argument raging inside my head. You can't take that, it's way too much, but it's your favorite car! Come on they've got enough money to do this. You know you'll never have another chance to have this car. Midway through my inner argument I realized Edward was laughing.

"No one else knows about this, I already paid off your house payments for the rest of the year, anonymously of course." I still was trying to argue why not to take it.

"You've earned this, besides it's not like you won't be working on it yourself, it's the least we can do for everything you've done for us." Edward said leaning up against the yellow Porsche next to my car. I grinned, yes my car.

"Alice told me the wheels, axel and the engine should be arriving early next week, seats and lights the week after." That means they've been planning this since only days after the Volturi. Edward nodded.

"Yeah I bet Leah would love this car." He said not looking up. My mind flashed to last night for a second then back to walking down the beach with Jacob as a kid.

"You should stop doing that, it's really annoying." Edward shrugged.

"Then think of this car as an apology, if it makes you feel better." I said looking back at him

"You're going to do this again aren't you?" Edward shrugged then nodded.

"Probably." I smiled, it was worth it to me.

Okay so maybe this isn't so much about hurt/comfort but it has Leah in it… it's basically needed. Well leave me something to go off of. As usual, Ideas, comments, compliments, and High Fives.
