S POV

We chatted up on that cliff for about an hour; Embry was the sweetest boy I'd ever met. He told me a lot about himself, but never pressured me to do the same, so I did anyways simply because he was being so nice. It made me WANT to tell him everything, his courtesy.

As it turned out, we were both seniors, though he was 18 and I was only 17… He didn't realize we were both seniors (at least, we hadn't both came out and just said it, but I figured it out since if you're 18 and still in high school, you are a senior, and I was going to be a senior so we were going to be in the same school, same grade…) I don't think, but the thought of seeing him at school all the time made me smile.

I couldn't believe I was already THIS attached to him! I couldn't grow attached to anyone; I was leaving in 5 months! But… I'd just felt this… CONNECTION with him when we'd first met and he was SO CUTE, and sweet…

"Where did you move here from?" Embry asked me, interrupting my internal conflict over emotions…

"Santa Monica, California," I told him, silently praying the question that I KNEW would come next wouldn't…

"Why did you move?" he asked, his voice only curious, not rude or pressing… It almost made me want to tell him the REAL reason… He was SO kind to me about everything…

BUT, I didn't want his feelings to change towards me; I didn't want his sympathy…

I shrugged. "Who knows, my parents never did tell me…" I replied, laughing mentally when I said parents.

Embry nodded and glanced up at the sky. "Well, I hope to see you are school tomorrow… but it looks like it's getting late…" He rose to his feet and offered his hand to me. I took it, after grabbing my journal, and he helped me up. His hand stayed there for a second longer than it should before he slowly pulled back (NOT that I MINDED…) (yep, definitely attached)… I ALREADY didn't want to leave him.

"Would you like me to walk you home?" he asked hopefully. He was just as desperate for some more time with me as I was with him.

I nodded, smiling.

Embry and I walked slowly to the sidewalk and DOWN the sidewalk, prolonging our time together as much as possible. We were heading down the street, our hands almost brushing as we walked, when it suddenly started to rain.

I screamed (not in the terrified way, but in the shocked way) a bit a quickly buried my journal in my jacket and threw up the hood of my jacket so I wouldn't get TOO wet.

Embry laughed as we now jogged down the sidewalk… I stopped in front of my… house once we got to it.

"This is it…. I'll see you tomorrow," I said. Embry was looking at the house with a… confused or- thoughtful (almost) look on his face… but he nodded before I headed inside.

E POV

After she'd headed inside, I was still trying to remember WHO lived in that house… or rather who HAD if someone had moved….

I couldn't think of it for anything… I DID discover though that my house wasn't very far from hers, something I delighted over immensely.

I stepped into the front door of my house and my mom was there… She'd become very suspicious of me and … invading ever since my transformation, but I understand and I took it.

Right now, she was at the stove, cooking supper.

"Where were you?" she asked in a very even tone.

"At the beach with Jake, Seth, and Quil," I told her, not having to lie for once.

She nodded, seeming to believe me. "Well, supper with be ready soon."

I nodded, too. "Okay," I said before heading up to my room. I'd just gotten ungrounded recently, so I actually went up there WILLINGLY.

Hopefully nothing would change that freedom status soon… so I could go see or talk to Storm more.

I plopped down on my bed once I was in my room… As I lay there, absentmindedly turning on the T.V. and flipping through the channels, my thoughts were on Storm… I'd get to see her again tomorrow, even the thought of seeing her again made me smile… HOPEFULLY we'd have some classes together…

Those thoughts all opened up a new train of worries, some of which were reasonable and others… well some were just stupid worries.

What if she had a boyfriend?

Reasonable worry.

What if they were REALLY close and had promised to keep a long distance relationship with each other and get married when they were older so she'd never even consider me THAT way?

Stupid, over-thought worry.

I was going to be a senior. What if she was a junior?

Reasonable worry.

What if we had absolutely NO classes together? What if she wasn't that smart or had flunked a grade and was a sophomore?

NOT so reasonable… or probable. Storm had seemed VERY intelligent when we'd talked today…

What if –

All of my worry-filled thoughts were suddenly interrupted when my mom called me down for supper.

I sighed and got off my bed, turned off the T.V., and headed downstairs. I could smell the chicken she'd roasted the second I opened my door. It smelled good.

I ran down the stairs, two at a time, and skidded to a halt by the table. I pulled out my chair and plopped down into it, eagerly awaiting the food. My mom grinned, shaking her head as she sat down the food on the table before also sitting.

I dug into the food right away, my plate over flowing with beans and chicken, yummy. I TRIED not to be a pig and completely inhale my food… but it was hard. I was really hungry (as per usual). That's what you get for being a wolf.

My mom rolled her eyes as she watched me while she ate. "You eat like a starving wolf," she grumbled. "Are you SURE I'm feeding you enough?"

I almost chocked on my food when she said the wolf thing, but after I swallowed I reassured her (in between my laughs and grins) that I'd just missed lunch.

Out of all of the food my mom had made, I had eaten at LEAST two thirds of it all. Even though I did this, I still finished before my mom.

I cleaned off my plate and put it in the dishwasher before announcing, "I'm going back up to my room."

Mom nodded and I went up the stairs and shut the door to my room behind me before turning on the T.V. I turned the volume up a bit louder than usual. Then, I sighed and headed over to my window to open it… It was my shift now… in ONE of the packs…

This whole… two packs thing was really confusing and stupid, in my opinion… I understood why Jake did it at FIRST, because of Renesmee… but NOW… I questioned it.

I hopped out of my house and landed silently on the balls of my feet. The ground was a bit damp, but that was nothing new as I dashed into the woods.

I hated lying to my mom about all of this, the whole "being a wolf" and stuff… It sucked constantly getting grounded for it, too… but I had to… orders were orders…

I was basically screwed.

I headed deeper into the woods and shifted. Jake and Quil were both there.

"Hey Embry," Quil greeted.

"Look who finally got done chatting with the girl he saved," Jake teased.

"Yeah duded, you ditched us!" Quil accused. "What, so that girl is more important than us…? Was she hot or something?"

All my friends had to do was mention her for my thoughts to go back to Storm… I almost completely forgot them as I began to think about her again…

"Dude, you imprinted on her, didn't you?" Quil suddenly noted.

"I –" I started to say, but Jake cut me off.

"Congratulations man!" he told me as I stopped (for I had been running the whole time) near them.

"What's her name?" Quil persisted.

"Storm…" I said happily, her smiling face popping into my head.

"She's going to school with us?" Jake noted, catching one of my thoughts about her.

"What grade is she in? How old is she?" Quil questioned.

"Ah- she didn't say… but she's 17," I told them.

Quil just nodded. Then, his thoughts suddenly switched to Claire. "What time was it when you left your house?" he asked a bit worriedly… he was hoping it wasn't later than –

"Around 7 or so, why?" I replied, though that was the answer he hadn't wanted.

"Dang it! I gotta go, good thing it's your shift now… I promised Em I would come over to watch Claire…" he explained as he ran off.

Jake laughed and I couldn't help but chuckle, too.

"Have fun!" Jake and I chorused as Quil reached the border and shifted.

"I got to go too," Jake told me, "Renesmee wanted to watch a movie. Have fun –" I felt his smile, even in his thoughts, "– and don't stop thinking about her."

With that, he left too… so I was alone.

The dedication in both of their thoughts filled mine once I was without anyone else's opinions…. It had once shocked me, how could one person be SO dedicated to another? Now, though, I knew how and it was easy enough for me to feel the same.

"Is she okay? I wonder what she's doing right now… Will we share any classes? What if she doesn't like me? Will she freak out when I tell her about… THIS?" Worries were the basis of my thoughts as she continually went through my mind during the patrol. As Jake predicted, the thoughts never stopped. Even if I tried to think about something else, she was ALWAYS in the back of my mind.

"I wonder if she's thinking about me too…"

I sighed as I ran, I doubted she would be thin- OBSESSING with me like I was her. Would she ever feel for me like I did her? Would she EVER understand what I was going through, what I would do for her, try and BE for her, no matter what the circumstances? I would always be there for her, always be supportive, always caring, always protective…

I would die for her, I knew I would, and the utter ferocity of the thought that it could come to that, that something would happen to her so bad that I would have to die for her shocked me, but I KNEW I WOULD do that for her, I would do it in a heartbeat.

As I continued to patrol, I sped up. I didn't want to be HERE… I wanted to check on her. I HAD to go check on her… but I couldn't leave until Leah came and took over for me.

The rest of that half-an hour was the longest time in my life… by the time Leah came, I was anxious to leave.

"Whoa, Embry what's up with you?" Leah asked in a rude tone, not liking the waves on anxiety rolling off of me.

"Wait, Storm? YOU IMPRINTED!" she realized, shocked.

I didn't respond, really. "Yeah… I gotta go." I told her quickly and dashed off at full speed.

I ran back to the reservation, moving through the woods stealthily as the rain still trickled down in the dark of the night.

My mom probably realized I was gone, by now, I suddenly thought… but, I didn't care like I usually did, for some reason…

"SHE is worth it…" my thought suddenly whispered to me. I realized it was true, I'd always feel guilty when my mom caught me going out on patrol, because she couldn't know about that… but visting Storm… THAT would always be worth the trouble… SHE was something I could tell my mom about and not lie… thought, I wouldn't tell her quite yet…

I ran past my house and was soon behind Storm's. I shuffled around in the woods until I saw a window on the second floor with the lights on. I waited patiently, still standing (in case I had to move), until a figure finally appeared in the window.

It was her. I watched as she leaned forward and looked out the window. She looked a bit upset and I was instantly concerned… but there was nothing I could do about it.

I groaned but settled down on the ground. I wasn't leaving any time soon… Heck, I'd NEVER go back if it meant seeing her 24/7… I'd stay all night, even if it meant that I was tired for school the next day... I'd head home last minute and get ready…

I sighed, knowing I couldn't stay ALL night… my mom was going to have a COW as it was… I'd have to leave eventually and face her wrath…

But she was worth it.
