So here's chapter four. It's a short one but interesting. Hope you guys like it. :)
Disclaimer- I do not own anything Twilight.
Monday came and went before I knew it. I didn't talk to Embry because he wasn't there. I knew he couldn't have been sick unless it had suddenly come up. I wanted to call him but I didn't think he would answer. I wanted him to see my face and know what I was serious but I didn't want to hurt him.
When Tuesday came it was the same and now I was worried. He could be sick or maybe he just wasn't going to talk to me. Maybe if I had answered him, he would have been at school. He can't face me; he knows he messed our friendship up.
By Thursday I broke down and called him but he didn't answer. I called again and this time it rang twice and went to voice mail. He rejected my call, he knew I was looking for him and didn't want to answer. I left a message so he could know I wasn't mad at him.
"Hey Embry, it's me. Is everything okay, you haven't been at school? Listen, I'm not mad about the other day I just think we should talk. Call me, or come by or something. Please. I wanna talk. I'll call you later maybe. Bye." I sighed and hung up the phone. If our friendship had to end, I didn't want it like this. I didn't want it to end at all and even if I had him as just a friend, not a best friend, it would be better than nothing at all.
Friday after school I started to get ready to my date with Paul. I felt guilty about still going but I wasn't sure I would get another chance with Paul and I wanted to finally do something that makes me happy. My whole life I had done things to make others happy before myself. I had put up with the other best friend/ex-boyfriend dating another girl to keep my group of friend together. I still had to see him with his girlfriend. I wanted to be happy now. I wanted to see what could happen between me and Paul, maybe it would be nothing and I could just forget about it. I could just go back to being single and hanging out with Embry. Going to be beach, sleeping in his bed, watching the stupid chick flicks with him; I love doing all that stuff with Embry and the thought that it might all be gone in a matter of days made me hurt even more.
As I curled my hair and did my make-up, the doorbell rang. I was the only one home since everyone else had gone out. I sighed and went downstairs to answer it. I hoped it was Paul; I was not even close to ready.
When I pulled open the door, I saw Embry standing with his hands in his pockets. Before even thinking I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him. He put his hands around my waist and picked me up a little. He set me down and I pulled him inside. "Have you been avoiding me?" I asked as I let go.
"No, I just wasn't ready to talk yet." He explained as he looked at the ground. He looked back up and frowned even more. "Are you going out somewhere?"
"Yeah, on a date."
"With who?"
"Paul." I whispered, looking at the floor.
He scoffed, "Really? You're still going to go out with him. Really? After I told you the truth about him and told you how I feel about you, you're still going to go out with him."
"Listen, Embry, I thought all week about what you told me. I . . . I really don't know what to say. I don't want to make the mistake again about dating my best friend. I just want to be friends."
"Great, awesome. I'll be the friend that's there for you when he breaks your heart. I'll pick up the pieces again and all for a hug and maybe a thanks. I try so hard to make sure you're not broken beyond repair and what do I get?" He urged, "Nothing, I get my heart ripped out and shit on, over and over. Every time I think that you're mine you find someone else. I can't keep being there. I won't. I need to start thinking about myself."
"Okay, but Embry, I didn't say we could never give it a try."
"You didn't say we could either." He pulled open the door, "Go have a wonderful time with Paul. I'm sure you and your virginity will make him very happy."
"Embry, don't leave." I pleaded, as the stepped outside and slammed the door behind him.
I wanted to go after him but I knew he wouldn't listen anymore. I hurt him worse than I thought I could have. He was really mad about the Paul thing. I guess to him rejecting him was one thing but rejecting him and going out with the man-whore of the res was a whole new thing in its self. I went to find my phone so I could call Kim and ask for advice. One part of me wanted to cancel with Paul and go find Embry but the other wanted to go with Paul. I wasn't sure if I would get another chance with him.
I explained to Kim what happened and asked for advice. "Misty, I think you should go out with Paul. I'm not trying to be mean to Embry but he should understand and you don't like him back. If you go out with Paul tonight and you don't have fun then maybe he isn't for you."
"Okay, thanks Kim."
"You're Welcome, have fun." She hung up and I sighed. I finished getting ready and pulled on jeans, dark blue sweater with a belt and my black leather boots. I grabbed my bag and shoved my stuff inside and went to wait downstairs to Paul to come.
I heard him pull, up and I struggled not to meet him at the door. When the doorbell rang, I slowly got up and forced myself to walk slowly to the door. I really did not want to seem desperate. I pulled opened the door and my jaw hit the ground. Paul was dressed in dark jeans and a button up shirt. He didn't have it buttoned all the way and I saw his perfect chest under neither. I had the urge to run my hand down his chest. People said he had the perfect body and I really wanted to find out.
"Ready?" he asked, smiling at me.
I tore my eyes away from his chest and looked at his face. "Yeah, let me get my bag." I stepped back from the door. "You can come in." I told him as I went to the kitchen. I grabbed a note pad and left a note for my brothers.
"Went out, be back later. Don't wait up.
-Misty"
I grabbed my back and we went out to his truck. He helped me in and then got in. "So where too?" I asked him.
"Port Angeles, I was thinking dinner, a movie and maybe some desert after?"
"Cool." I smiled. "So how did you get away, I thought there was food ball every Friday night?"
"We didn't have one this weekend because of Halloween."
"Oh that's right are you going trick or treating?"
He chuckled, "No, I'm taking my sister and her friends around."
"That sounds fun."
We pulled up to a restaurant and he came around to open my door. We went inside and got a table towards the back. "You know this is one of the few times I have done this with a girl." He told me as he played with a straw wrapper.
"Really? Don't you date a lot of girls?"
He shrugged, "Kind of but I don't take them out to eat like this. I have done this maybe with one other girl."
"Oh, well I feel special then." I smiled and sipped my soda. "So are you religious?" I asked gesturing to the cross around his neck.
He shrugged, "Not really, my Grandma gave me the cross."
"Oh, that's nice."
He smirked, "Kind of cheesy, I know."
"No, it's nice."
We ordered our food which was good because I needed something else to talk about.
"So do you have a job?" I asked him.
He nodded, "Yeah, I work at a construction company and at a garage. You know the one Jared's dad owns?"
"Oh yeah, so you work with Chris?"
"Yep, he's a nice guy."
I nodded, "Yeah."
I had run out of things to say and I didn't want it to get awkward. Paul luckily saw how me struggle so he took over. The conversation was much easier now, he made me laugh. I hadn't really had this much fun since Derek.
After dinner we went to the movies and he let me chose what we saw. I decided for the safe option of a comedy. We sat towards the top of the theater and whispered during the previews.
When the movie started we stopped whispering as much. I don't know if it was the soda or maybe the fact that I was sitting under an air vent but I was freezing even through my sweater.
Paul looked at me and whispered, "Are you cold?" I nodded and he put the arm rest up between us. He put his arm around me and I was shocked at how warm he was. He was hotter than normal but I guess it was because I was cold.
After the movie he took me to get some desert at a café, where we talked more. I didn't want to the night to end but I knew that I had to be home by eleven.
Paul pulled up to my house almost at eleven. He walked me up to the door.
"So, do you think we could do this again?" I asked him.
"Yeah, defiantly." He replied and trailed his fingers down my arm to my hand.
I smiled, "So, I'll see you Monday?"
"Actually, I was thinking maybe you could come with me trick-or-treating."
"Sure,"
He smiled, "Cool, so I'll call you tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
He leaned down and kissed my cheek and then turned around. He walked back to his truck and I opened the door. I closed it behind me and leaned against it.
"Um, are you having a face seizure or something?" Tristan asked me, sitting on the couch.
"What? No." I replied and looked at him. He was only in his boxers. "Eww, bro please put on some pants."
"Nah, it's very breezy. I like it." He wiggled his hips.
"Eww, I think I saw it move." I gagged, Tristan sure knew how to ruin a moment.
"Well now you know how I feel when you run up and down the stairs and boobs are all over the place."
"Why do you even notice that?"
"Cause their huge."
I smirked, "I wish I could say the same for you little buddy." I ran up the stairs before he could get up. I closed my door and smiled. I changed into my pajamas and took off my make-up. I crawled into my bed and checked my phone before bed. I had one message. I opened it.
"If you chose Paul over me, you won't see me anymore." It was from Embry. My night went from amazing to horrible. I set my phone down and forced myself to sleep. I would try to talk to Embry tomorrow. I was losing him as a friend and I wanted him there.
So what do you think? Embry or Paul? Hope to update again sooon. Please review! :D
