Chapter 2

Thanks JennDur for beta'ing for me.


I was sitting in the living room when my father walked in. Behind him was Sam Uley, a boy I've known since I was a baby. They were both smiling and laughing as they took seats on the couch.

When my dad looked at me a brief flash of anger and annoyance crossed his face. "Sweetheart," he started, making me want to laugh. It was the first time in a month he'd addressed me without yelling since he forbade me from seeing Emmett. "We have company, why don't you go make yourself presentable and when you're done, help your mother in the kitchen. Sam is staying for dinner, isn't that great?"

No, I thought, it kind of sucks. Other than school, I've hung out around the house in ratty sweats and pajamas. My dad took away my cell phone and my laptop, figuring without them I couldn't contact Emmett. Not that it would matter. After the argument we had, he stood in front of me and made me call Em and dump him.


More tomorrow.
