Chapter III

Remember

Maybe I was getting myself into more stuff than what I should, my Schedule was packed, but I never liked having too much free time in my hands, it could put some weird ideas in your mind, like they say 'If you run hard enough, your monsters will take longer to catch you'.

I was working three days a week in Fork's Hospital, I had joined the tutor's program of the institute and now I was giving mathematics classes every Friday to a boy, but that didn't bother me at all, he was a sweetheart and reminded me of Jacob.

And now, I had let Kim drag me to dance on the Quileute celebrations of the next months.

Well, maybe she didn't have to drag me literally.

"I told you you're easy" she asserted, showing me her tongue.

I responded her with the same gesture. Ok, maybe she only asked twice but you only get up that early a Saturday for your best friends, and right now, my clothes were on the same mood line as I was, black baggy pants, a white undershirt with a grey shirt on top that was a couple sizes too big for me, black converse and a black jacket with my hair resting on a messy bun. Kim, on the other hand, was looking really pretty, with a tight-fitting outfit, she even had make-up on, yeah, even I saw were this was going.

"You look amazing" said a manly voice behind me, no wonder Kim had asked me to stop here, a couple blocks away from the practice studio of the school. Her eyes shined and a schoolgirl giggle sprout from her lips as Jared came over to greet her with a kiss.

Yikes.

I turned around to find the only thing that could make my day better, a tall and muscular figure, even more so than Jared who I thought was the biggest guy until Lahote came back, a month and a half after the beginning of classes with the contexture of a truck.

"Well, what do we have here?" sounded the voice of none other than Paul Lahote, the third and final member of the 'Steroid's brigade'. "How is the Rez doing for you, Pepe Le Pew?"

I just stared at him in disbelief.

"It's that suppose to be a xenophobic comment?" I uttered.

"Xeno-what?" His confused look was enough for me, I sighed, touching my forehead with the palm of my hand. I turned around to call Kim; we needed to put as much earth as we could between me and Lahote, now.

But I realized my best friend had walked away with her 'teddy bear', perfect. I exhaled noisily, and felt something been pull out of my purse; apparently, the eagle feather fan I was taking to the rehearsal picked up the attention of my unwanted companion.

"Give me that, now, Lahote" was the first thing that came out of my mouth; I didn't have time to be all sugary when it came to protect my familiar inheritance.

"And what if I don't, short-stack?" he answered, holding it up on the air with his left hand. In those moments, I hated being small, I jumped my highest but still couldn't grasp it. He just laughed at me.

"You are a horrible human being; didn't you mother teach you some manners, mutt?" I laid my right hand on his chest and gave him a slight shove; it was a minimum touch and still I realized he was ridiculously hot. "You are burning on fever…" Was the only thing I could utter, with some concern on my voice, I knew running around like that wasn't healthy. I looked at his face, which I hate to admit is quite handsome, it was contorting with rage.

"What's wrong with you? Are you going to hit me? Are you really going to hit a girl?" but that only made his body start shaking fiercely.

I backed up a couple steps, a muffled sound made me realized he had drop the fan but all I could see were his eyes, filled with the same rage and pain as those of the wolf I had encounter a dark night on my dreams a couple weeks before, and just like that time, I was starting to regret what I had said.

Everything happened so fast, Sam Uley, with his face even more wrecked that the last time I had seen him, was standing there, taking Paul by his neck and shooting him a authority-filled glance, whispering words I couldn't make out, just one "Remember…".

Jared had stepped between them and me; with a shove so strong that it made me tripped a couple of steps before regaining my balance. And then, there was Kim, taking me by my hand and begging me to move.

This time, she was literally dragging me to the rehearsal. It took me a couple of seconds to snap off of my stupor, that guy was about to rip my head off and all I said to Kim was "You should take your boyfriend to the hospital, he may be sick too".

"What?" Quil's expression showed a great amount of surprise, and maybe some indignation on it; Embry's showed pure concern. We had decided to meet at Wallace's place to catch something to eat at two. I had explained to them what happened, and the reaction was basically what I expected.

Quil started to talk really loud, showing his anger, and telling something about leaving Paul ugly for pictures if he ever touched me; Embry, on the other hand, told me to stay far away from them and stop messing with Paul.

Like that was going to happen…

"Damn, Quil, I could hear you from outside!" voiced Jake, finally arriving at our little meeting, I couldn't get mad at him, I knew that sweet smile will never let me. He sat down next to me, smelling like car's grease.

"Guess what? I think I'll have it ready for my birthday" he said happily, the spirits of this guy were always up. "Soon, we'll have four wheels under us and a piece of plastic in my pocket that will let us go wherever we want".

Jake's birthday was a little more than a month and a half away. He would be the first of us to get his license and the only one with a vehicle, if you don't count Embry's motorcycle, or how the guys called it, 'The Shotgun', a thunderous old crock, that after one use needed to be repaired all over again.

"Cool! We'll have a car so soon" celebrated Quil, and then he turned over to look at Embry, who was next to him, and said "But not you, Em, you can keep your piece of trash".

"Perfect" responded the long-haired boy with mocking on his voice, giving Quil a strong pat on his back. "You know who's going to help you with the physic's project, right?"

"Em! My best friend!" Quil changed in just one second and started to hug Embry, who only smiled and rolled his eyes.

"And I'm calling shotgun" demanded Embry.

"What ever you want, Em, what ever you want"

"Hey, I call shotgun, or are you going to deny that Jake would look better driving with a pretty girl right next to him?" I asked in a flirtatious tone.

"Yeah, you are right, but we'll need to search for one because I don't see any pretty girl around here" was Embry's quick answer.

"Burned!" followed Quil and Jake, laughing really loud.

My mouth fell open with surprise and laughter at the same time; I would have expected that from Quil, maybe even from Jake, but never from Embry. While the other two laughed, he only smiled and winked at me; I turned my face away from him but couldn't avoid smiling.

We kept shooting glances at each other, beaming everytime we catch the other looking.

Boy, was he getting cuter each day.

In the end, we ate, laughed and talked; seeing them made me forget all about that morning. Being with my best friends made me happy, everything with them was problem-free. I took in every detail of those moments, wanting to keep them in my memories as they were right now, because like they say 'Nothing lasts forever'.

And something in my heart told me that soon, everything would be different.

A/N: Finally made a translation for this one!

Well, I have been skipping months around here, this chapter is set in late November, the first one was in September and the second in October. Just to make that clear. I don't want to drag this stage too long anyway. We need to get the wolf out of the box soon.

I have been listening to a song called Nothing Lasts Forever, I think it kind of captures the mood of the next chapters and it inspired part of this one, as you can see. It was supposed to be the title of this one but I decided to go with Remember, as Sam is telling Paul to remember about what happened with Emily.

Thanks for reading and a have a nice week :D
