My Girl Chapter 3 Tragedies
(Quil's point of view)
Embry is a fellow wolf, my life long friend, roommate, and brother to me. He's the only wolf of the original ten who hasn't imprinted. It's been hard on him. He feels left out. Like everyone has someone but him. The other wolves are so much younger that he doesn't like hanging with them. He started drinking too much and sleeping with every woman in sight. Jake tried talking to him but that just made him more depressed.
I decided to take action instead of talking to him I tried hanging out with him more. But I missed Claire too much. So I thought of the prefect solution I'd bring Embry with me when I came to see Claire. Tara was very happy to have the company. The first time I took him he didn't want to go but after that he was always willing to come along.
Embry became very close with Tara. He started calling her two and three times a day. He was always talking about her and she was in his thoughts all the time. It was like he imprinted on her but he hadn't. I even got so concerned I asked Sam and he said it was just a crush.
Tony Claire's Dad already hated me now I gave him another reason his wife's new best friend. He didn't like Embry even more than me. Tony always says I'm stealing his daughter away from him. But he's wrong because he's the one who is never around. I haven't been a father figure to her in years hell I'm not even like her big brother anymore. We're best friends already.
"Embry hurry up." I yell wanting to see Claire. "Okay Man I'm ready." I notice he's wearing dress pants and a collared shirt not his usual jeans and t-shirt. "Uh Embry do you have a thing for Tara?" I asked. "Maybe." Was he response to me? I just shook my head.
I had been feeling so weird the last hour or so. I really needed to see Claire but I wasn't sure why. As we turned onto Claire's street my heart ached. Then I noticed the fire coming from Claire's house. Embry and I rushed into the house. I heard Tara screaming for Becky and Claire.
I ran to Claire's and Becky's room were they were huddled crying. I picked them up put a blanket over them and carried them out of the house. Embry was right behind us carrying Tara out. The flames were out of control and Tara was screaming for Tony. I suddenly realized Tony was home and still in the house.
I yelled for Embry to watch Claire, Tara, and Becky and I headed back into the house. The flames were so hot and the smoke was getting even thicker. I heard the sirens getting closer but not close enough.
I hurried to Tony and Tara's bedroom. Tony was lying on the bed. I knew it was too late but I grabbed Tony busted the window and jumped out. I landed on my feet next to Tara. My body was beyond burnt so I handed Tony to Embry. He started CPR on Tony but he too knew it was too late. I saw Claire screaming and crying.
The EMT's arrived so I ducked into the forest to let the burns heal. I hear the EMT say he was gone. My Claire-bear had lost her Dad. All I wanted to do was make the pain go away but this time I can't.
(Claire's point of view)
I was always Mommy's girl but now my Dad he's gone. Mom, Becky, and I were leaving at Aunt Emily's until we get a new house. Quil showed up right away his burns were mostly gone. He pulled me into his lap. "Claire-Bear I'm so sorry I tried." Quil said to me sadly. "I know." I said kissing his cheek as I cried.
Daddy's funeral was two days later. I have never been to one. My mom refused to talk to Embry she blames him somehow. Quil sat beside me holing my hand during the funeral. After it was over we went to my Grammy's house. Quil sat in a chair with me on his lap. Some people gave us weird looks but I don't care. The whole pack and their families came. They all stayed close to me like my whole second family.
(Quil's point of view) [A few weeks later]
"Quil man Jake's on the phone." Embry screamed waking me up. Embry hasn't always been the nicest guy but since Tony died he's been a total ass. Tara still hasn't spoken to him. "Hey Jake what's up?" I asked as I felt a pain in my chest.
Before Jake could say anything I asked. "Is Claire okay?" "Um Tara's having the baby and Claire wants you." I ran and got dressed I had to get to Claire. When I arrived at Sam and Emily's place I heard Claire crying.
I ran into the house and saw Jake hugging a crying Claire. I went over and picked her up into my arms lifting her off the ground. "Claire-Bear what's wrong?" "Mom." She all she could get out between her crying. I saw Jake going over to Becky. She was crying as hard as Claire and Becky wasn't much of a crier so I knew it was bad.
"Where are Sam and Emily?" I asked Jake as the girls fell asleep. "They're at the hospital something's wrong Quil its bad. Sam thought Emily might need him and I wasn't on duty so he called me." "Oh okay well where's Taylor and Ressa?" I asked wondering why I hadn't heard the three year old twins. "Believe it or not they're still both asleep." Jake said.
A few hours went by Jake and I had both fell asleep in the chairs close to Claire and Becky. I heard the door I knew it was Sam and Emily. My heart sunk when I saw Emily's read eyes and Sam's grim face. "Em is Tara okay?" I asked hoping it wasn't the worst. Emily started crying and Sam said. "She didn't make it Quil." Sam said his eyes watering up making mine do the same. "What about the baby?" I asked. "She's doing great Shannon Nichole is her name. Em's mom and Sue are with the baby." I looked over at the beautiful sleeping girl. My little soul mate had lost both of her parents and she's not even ten yet. I knew in the moment my role in her life had become more important. I couldn't protect her from this but I would be here.
