Chapter four: Little trouble in paradise
Bri's P.O.V.
Our heads snapped towards the door. Sean was standing there with a confused look. It must look weird to him, to see Embry standing there with me in his arms. He looked at me and I sighed. ''Well...I kind of got hit by a car and then broke my foot and got a head wound'' I said as Sean let Embry walk me into the house and he sat me down on the couch. He sat beside me and checked me if I was okay. Sean shook his head and gave me a glass of water. ''Why is it always you that gets bad luck?'' he said sitting down on a chair too. That was when I first noticed Marije sitting in the room. She faintly smiled at me and I gave her a little smile back. I felt kind of stabbed in the back, because now she spends more time with my own brother than me. Maybe I was over-reacting a bit, but I finally found a good friend here and I definetely didn't want to loose her because of my brother. I knew something was going on between the two of them, but I really didn't want to loose her.
''Hey'' I said giving her a little wave. She smiled at me and waved back. ''Hey, how is it going?'' she asked. ''Ah, it's going as you can see. I'll be fine'' I said looking at Embry. He smiled at me and then looked back to my brother. ''Well if you guys don't mind, Marije and I are going to the beach for a while'' Sean said getting up and taking Marije's hand. I nodded and let myself fall back into the couch. I sighed when they left and closed my eyes. I felt something warm touch my hand and I opened my eyes to see Embry looking worried at me. ''What's wrong?'' he asked worried. ''It's...nothing'' I said looking away from him. He put his finger under my chin and and turned my head so that I was looking into his eyes. ''I can tell something is wrong'' he said looking deep into my eyes. I think my heart actually skipped a bit. I snapped out of it and sighed again. ''It's just that Marije is now hanging out with Sean a lot. She is actually the first girl and the only girl i befriended here and I just don't want to loose her because of my brother'' I said still looking into his eyes. He nodded and held my hand tight. I looked at our hands. mine fitted perfectly in his and the heat made it even more better.
''I can understand that, but now that I know your brother for a while, I don't think he'd do something like stealing your friend and take her away from you'' he said giving me a comforting smile. ''Thanks Embry'' I said giving him a friently hug. I slightly winced when my foot moved. I felt Embry tense and I pulled away from him. ''Are you alright?'' I asked looking at him. He looked at my foot and then to me. ''The question is are YOU alright'' he said. ''I'm fine, don't worry about me'' I said trying to get up. When I went to stand on my feet again, I yelped and before I could fall back, Embry scooped me up into his arms and held me tight against his chest. ''We're going to get you crutches tomorrow after school'' he said walking towards the stairs. ''Embry, I really appreciate your effort, but you don't have to take me upstairs'' I said trying to get out of his grasp. ''Not going to work'' he said in a cocky tone. I just huffed, but still snugled into his chest, into the warmth. I heard him chuckled, but I didn't respond to that. I was way to busy with smelling him. I tried to make it not that obvious. He smelled delicious. Kind of like, a woodsy smell with mint. I relly liked the way he smelled. I didn't even notice him lying me down onto my bed.
He was going to walk away, but I grabbed him by the shirt. ''Please don't go'' I begged tugging him back towards me. He sat beside me on the bed and I carefully scooted over so that he could lie beside me. He agreed happily and folded his arms behind his head. I looked at him and he looked back at me. I shivered and rubbed my arms. I didn't even notice it was so cold because of Embry's heat. ''Are you cold'' he asked taking my hand. ''A little'' I said as I shivered again. ''Come here'' he said as he scooted over to me and wrapped me up into his arms. I immediately stopped shivering and lay my head against his chest. I listened to his heartbeat and soon my eyes started to droop and I fell asleep.
...
The next morning I woke up without the heat next to me. I felt around the bed, searching for it, but I couldn't find it. I did feel something like paper on the pillow beside me. I picked it up and slowly opened my eyes. I looked at the paper and it read; Sweet Bri, sorry I had to leave, but otherwise your father would've killed me. I'll pick you up for school! See you soon, Embry. I smiled at that and got up. I winced when I stood up, but I tried to hop and it worked actually pretty good. I really needed those crutches. I tried to get ready as soon as I could and then carefully got down the stairs. I hopped into the kitchen and sat at the table. I didn't see Sean, but I did see my dad sitting at the table reading a newspaper. ''Hey dad'' I said eating some cereal. He put the paper down and looked at me. ''Bri, what did I hear, you got hit by a car!'' he shouted. I cringed at his words. ''Sorry dad'' I whispered. ''God Bri, why didn't you call me? I was worried about you'' he said coming over to me and wrapping me into a hug. I hugged him back and he pulled away. ''I'm fine, Embry was taking really good care of me'' I said turning back to my cereal.
''Yes about that, why was he coming out of your rome?'' he asked quirking an eyebrow at me. ''He took me upstairs since I couldn't walk and then he left'' I said. I really wasn't going to tell him about Embry lying in bed with me or else he would probably flip out. ''I'll be watching him'' he said before turning back to his paper. I rolled my eyes and carefully got up. The doorbell rang and I hopped towards the door. I opened it and it revealed Embry. I couldn't do anything else than staring at him and admiring him. When I reached his face he smiled at me and I smiled back at him. I bet he caught me staring at him. ''Are you ready?'' he asked. ''I nodded and grabbed my bag before saying goodbye to my dad. I tried to walk out of the door, but almost fell to the ground. Embry caught me and scooped me up into his arms. I laughed at him. ''You're not going to carry me around the whole day are you?'' I asked as he put me in the car. He walked to his side and turned to me. ''Yes I am. You can't walk like that'' he said driving away.
Turns out, he was actually serious about caring me the whole day. It was just so embarrasing. I got stares the whole time from jealous girls. It was kind of funny actually. Embry carrying me through the whole school all day. We had first class together, but after that not that much, so he said that he would wait for me by the classroom and carry me towards my next class. I was wondering why he wasn't exhausted from carrying me all day. I even sat with him and his friends at lunch again. I really started to like those guys. Really, Seth was really funny and tried to make fun of everybody all the time. And turns out that Paul is actually a nice guy. Embry said that he has a temper, so I just don't have to make him mad.
''You stay here okay. I have to go to my locker real quick. I just have to put my books in there'' he assured me. I laughed at him. ''Just go already Embry! I can wait here, i'm not retarded'' I said shooing him. He looked at me one time before disappearing. I put my own books in my locker and when I was done closed it and turned around to wait for Embry. I looked around and saw a group of girls glaring at me. I glared right back at them. Stupid bitches! Can I help it that Embry wants to hang out with me. I looked away from them and saw a cute looking guy walking towards me. No not what you think, he's nearly not as hot as Embry or as built as Embry, but he was just average.
''Hey'' he said standing next to me. ''Hey'' I said looking at him. ''I'm Chris'' he said offering me his hand. ''I'm Brianna, but people call me Bri'' I said shaking his hand. ''So how are you liking it here so far?'' he asked. I shrugged my shoulders. ''It's okay I guess. I already got hit by a car on the first day of school'' I said pointing to my broken foot. ''I can see'' he said chuckling at him. ''So are you and Call like a couple?'' he asked. I thought about it for a moment. Embry is like a friend now, even I want it to be more. ''No we're not a couple, just friends'' I said. He smirked at me. ''You don't have a boyfriend?'' he asked raising an eyebrow at me. ''No I don't'' I said smirking back at him too. ''You have a girlfriend?'' I asked. He shook his head. ''No not really'' he said. ''How come, you're a nice guy?'' I asked looking at him. ''There are just not many girls who want to be bound'' he said looking forward. ''Oh, well i'm sure you'll find one'' I assured him. ''Well may-'' he was cut off by Embry.
''What are you doing here?'' he spat at Chris. I frowned. Why did Embry have to be so mean to Chris? We were just talking. ''I was just talking to Bri man'' he said calmly to Embry. ''I'd like you to leave'' Embry said slightly trembling. ''Relax man, i'm already going'' Chris said before he gave me a smile and walked away. I crossed my arms and turned to Embry. ''What was that about?'' I said starting to become angry. ''He was flirting with you'' Embry said through clenched teeth. ''So what if he was, it isn't like we're dating'' I whisper-yelled at him. ''What, you like him?'' he growled. ''No I didn't say that, but you don't have to treat him like that. We were just talking. If you don't mind, I'm going to ask Marije if she can give me a ride to the hospital'' I said before hopping away. I must've looked like an idiot, but I didn't care at the moment.
I went to find Marije. I just walked outside and spotted her car. I hopped towards it and saw her standing and talking with Sean. I sighed. ''Hey'' I said hopping towards her. ''Hey'' she said and gave me a hug. Sean gave me one too. ''How is it going sis? Heard you were carried all day'' he asked. ''Tell me about it'' I mumbled. ''Yeah. I was wondering if maybe you could come with me to the hospital to get my crutches'' I said to Sean. He nodded. ''Sure sis, come on lets get you inside'' he said picking me up and putting me in the car. He and Marije sat in the front and I sat in the back. On the way, I watched as Marije and Sean were being really close to each other. It almost made me gag, seeing my brother act so in love. I was happy for him though, he'd finally made friends and got himself a girl.
We got my crutches and I could walk decently again. Marije suggested to go to the beach. I agreed. I hadn't been there in a long time. We arrived at the beach and I used my crutches to get to a spot. I sat down and listened to the waves as they crashed onto the cliffs. I heard laughter and looked. Sean was tickling Marije. I chuckled. No one could escape from that as you noticed from me. I looked to the other side and to my surprise I saw Embry walking towards me. I quickly looked ahead of me, but I felt Embry sitting next to me on the sand.
''I'm sorry'' he whispered. I turned to him and saw him sitting next to me with a guilty look on his face. ''It's okay. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have been so mean to you'' I whispered back. ''You had the right to. I just was kind of...jealous I think'' he said looking down. His cheeks flushed red and I thought it was damn cute! I grabbed his hands and made him look at me. ''You were jealous? Why?'' I asked dumbfounded. Why would he be jealous because of me? ''Well...I like you a lot and I really think you're gorgeous'' he said smiling at me. Now it was my time to blush. I giggled and smiled back at him. ''So you forgive me?'' he asked hopeful. I nodded. ''Yes I forgive you'' I said hugging him tight. I could never be mad at him for long. I pulled away reluctantly and looked into his eyes. Why is it that this guy is making me like jelly when I look at him? He started to lean in and I froze. Was he going to kiss me? I didn't know what to do. Was I supposed to lean in too? I've never had a boyfriend. Instead he just held his mouth near my ear. ''Will you go on a date with me?''
