When I got home, I called Jake and told him of the group going to La Push. I told him of Bella Swan and that she was going. He told me that he knows Bella. Well, his sisters did. He was excited to see the person who owns his dad's truck. After he said he would bring some reservation kids, he went blank. I heard Embry yell at Jake and I cracked up laughing.
"What are you doing in here inhaling helium or what?" Taylor said.
"Just talking to some friends from La Push." I replied.
When she left, I heard an "Ow!" And someone threaten Jake not to tell me something. Jake started to say something, then there was a crash and Quil said," We'll see you later or something." I couldn't hear him over the fighting in the background. I wonder if it was Embry that threatened Jake. What does he want to hide from me?
When I got to school, I saw Bella get crushed by a van. Then it really happened.
"Get Tyler out of the van."
"Call 911!"
"Move the van!"
When they moved the van, Edward was there next to Bella. It took 2 teachers and 6 EMTs to move the van. I was surprised to see Edward there. I thought he was by Alice maybe I was wrong. When I got to the hospital almost the whole school was there. Charlie was there no doubt about that. He was on the phone for awhile. Tyler looked awful after the crash. We were all waiting to see if they were okay. Mike looked anxious to see Bella or Tyler. Jessica was looking at Mike daydreaming. It was amusing to see. She was staring at him while he was pacing. I was standing next to the hallway where Carlisle's office was. I heard an argument down somewhere near Carlisle's office.
The buzzing is back. I thought. Oh. It's coming from Carlisle's office. Rosalie is here? She must be worried about Edward. She was thinking about how they have to move again. Then she was cussing Edward out in her head. It was odd because I could see him in Rosalie's mind. I started to laugh out loud. Several people looked at me like I was crazy.
"I hope she's fine, Charlie." I told him before I left.
When I got back to school, we hardly did anything. There was hardly anyone in most of the classes. Mr. Banner asked me about Bella and Tyler. I told him that I didn't know. In Spanish, there were only three or four people there besides the teacher. Now we have to write about our families in Spanish for homework. This was going to be hard for the part on my sister. I didn't know where to begin for my paper so I called Jake.
"Hey. How are you? I heard you and Embry fighting. What happened?" I asked him eagerly.
"Ah… I can't say." Jake answered.
"Can't or won't." I asked him sternly.
"A little of both."
"Then tell me what you can."
"He'll kill me if I tell you."
"I'm guessing the person Embry likes doesn't live on the reservation. Am I right?"
"Yeah. I said too much. Embry just got here. Bye."
"Okay. See you soon." I hung up.
I rolled over on my side, thinking about Embry and his crush. If it was me, would I be happy or shocked. If it was someone else, would I get jealous or would I be happy for him and be sad inside. I could live with either one really because I can handle both of them. I just want Embry to be happy. I turned on my mp3 player and scrolled through it to find the perfect song for how I was feeling. I stopped on A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. I started to sing with it.
After that I knew I had to see Embry. No, I couldn't do that. I'll go and see Quil. I trust him enough to tell him it. I run down the stairs and outside to my truck. I drive until I get to Jake's house. I go up to the door and knock on it. Jake answers.
"Hey. Do you know where Quil lives?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"I need to talk to him."
"Okay. You just go to the store and its right behind there."
"Thanks, Jake."
I drive to Quil's house and knock. His mom, Jane, opens the door.
"Is Quil here? I need to talk to him."
"Yes, he is. Please come in. What's your name?"
"Jade. Yours?"
"Jane. Are you a friend of Quil's?"
"Yeah."
"I'll go get him."
A minute later I was talking to Quil in his room. I told him everything, including the part when Jake and I were talking. I made him promise me he wouldn't tell Embry. I heard someone outside the door. Then I heard crying until it got smaller. Someone was in pain and it was because of me. I run out of the room and go ask Jane who it was. She told me it was Embry and that he just got here. So he heard the part of Quil promising not to tell Embry. I ask for his number and she gives it to me willingly. I call him but he doesn't pick up. I left a message for him to call me. I said good-bye and went home. The next few days I didn't hear from Embry, so I went to Jake's.
When I got there, I asked him if he heard anything from Embry. He told me that he was sick for a couple of days and that when he got back he was hanging out with Sam and his gang. I asked if I could find him at the cliffs. He told me that I might if I was lucky. I stiffened. Something was wrong and it was here. I turn around and there was a pale red-head standing there looking at me with hunger in her eyes.
"Run. Find Sam." I told Jake. He went and she paid no attention to him. She just kept looking at me.
I felt heat radiating from my heart and I doubled over in pain. She smirked. She thought I was an easy target. Then it was done. I stood up and ran at her. She tried to move but she couldn't. She just stood there in shock. I ripped her head off and then continued to her body. I felt eyes on my back so I turned but not before setting the pieces of her vampire self on fire. There stood Jake with Sam and his gang and they all had opened mouths.
"What?" I questioned unaware of what I did.
"You just ripped off a vampire's head." Jared said astonished.
"So? I don't know what came over me and I'm fine."
"You need to leave." Paul told me. I was getting angrier by the second with him.
"Back away slowly from me." I told him.
"Or what? Are you going to kill me?"
"I might if you don't back off. So please back away from me."
"No." Next thing I knew I doubled over in pain and charged at him. He quickly changed into his wolf form.
I'll attack her left. Paul thought.
I braced for Paul but he came. Someone else was in front of me, protecting me from Paul. I went around him and looked in his eyes. I then felt red, hot anger boiling in me.
Get back. I thought to everyone hoping they could hear me and they did.
"Drag him back Paul." I told him and he complied.
When he was out of the way, I told them that I was sorry and I had to do something. I forgot about my truck and ran to the Cullen's. I ran to the door and knocked. Alice answered the door looking excited. I went in. They were all there pretending to be like humans.
