Dedicated to.... Chelsea Elizabeth, AKA my pixie sister!
Chapter Six Ready to Fall
Embry's POV
…… My mind has drawn a blank.
Did I hear her right? Did she really say she loved me too?
I think so. Wow… That is really good…
"Riss… Are you serious?" I asked her
She nodded and smiled at me.
I looked through her raven bangs and into her pretty blue eyes, In some search for a lie. Nothing, she was being 100% truthful.
I smiled at her.
"Iris.. that's amazing" I told her and kissed her.
"I know, and I really do, I trust you, and I love you…" She said looking down at her arms
She trusts me….
Hearing her say that, just made my night… My Iris trusts me…
"Embry, I know it's hard to believe.. But I do, I'm not sure why I trust you, but I do, and with that trust, and the past two weeks, I believe I have completely fallen for you… I've never been this happy in my life, It's unbelievable for me, I never thought I would be able to look at guy, have a guy touching me, without flinching or seeing everything my dad and his friend's ever done to me, When I see you, I feel happy, and welcome, and safe, I feel loved, truly loved… and as scared as I am to get hurt, the happiness I feel outweighs all of it.. You make me feel so alive, so happy, so free, and I love it, I love how you make me feel… I love your smile, your kisses, your hugs, your jokes, your protectiveness, the jealousy I saw flash through your eyes when you saw Rian, how you told the guys to make sure he left, you showed me that you really cared and it meant a lot to me….I love you Embry, everything about you, even your obsession with reading everything I write on my laptop, and every little imperfection you may have, I love you, all of you" She said leaning her head in the crook of my neck.
I smiled at her.
"Iris Faith, you are one amazing women… I love you too" I told her and kissed her
She nodded and smiled at me.
"What about Sam and Emily?" I asked her
"Sam… I know he loves me, and I know Emily loves me, and I do trust them… " She said smiling
"I believe my dear, we have made a breakthrough" I said smiling at her
She nodded her head and got back in her seat
"Hey I wasn't done kissing you!" I said smiling
"Boo who, let's go home!" She said leaning her head on my shoulder and closing her eyes.
30 minutes later
I turned my head to see my darling Iris sleeping with her head on my shoulder, I smiled and slowly moved her so I could get out.
I walked around to her side of the car, and picked her up.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and sighed. I smiled and kicked the car door shut, carefully.
"Hey Embry" Sam said
"Sh..." I said
"Oh... She's asleep" Sam whispered
I nodded and walked up the stairs
I laid Iris down in her bed, took of her shoes, and untangled the earrings from her hair, Pulled the blanket over her and kissed her forehead.
"G'night Iris, sweet dreams…" I said and walked into my room
4 AM.
*Iris screams*
I jumped out of my bed, phased and ran across the hall, Sam was running up the stairs in wolf form as well with Emily behind him.
I slammed open the door and growled looking around the room. Nothing. I looked over at Iris' bed, she was curled up in a ball crying…
I phased and threw on the shorts Emily handed me. I closed the door on Sam and walked over to Iris
"Riss…" I said sitting on her bed next to her; I put my hand on her shoulder, she flinched. I sighed.
"Riss what happened?" I asked her
She shook her head and looked up at me..
"Riss…" I said and wiped the tears from her eyes
"It was horrible Em.. He was here, I could feel him touching me, I could feel his breath, I could feel his eyes on me… Em… I'm scared" She sobbed
I pulled her into my chest.
"Riss, it's okay, I'm here, and you're okay…. I won't let anything happen…" I told her rubbing her back
She just sobbed into my shoulder.
An hour later her sobs finally stopped, it was just a few sniffles now.
"Are you okay Riss?" I asked her
She shook her head no.
I frowned at her
"Riss, It's okay… I'm here.." I said
"I know, It just scared me…" She said
"I know Riss" I told her and kissed her head
"Can you stay in here with me…?" She asked me
"Yeah, Let me go get changed, and get my pillow and stuff, and ask Emily and Sam, then I'll be in..will you be okay in here by yourself?" I asked her
She shook her head no. I could tell she was on the verge of tears again.
"Come on" I said standing up and holding my hand out for her.
She took my hand and walked with me down the stairs.
"Hey Sam, Emily…" I said seeing them on the couch looking really worried..
"Iris sweetheart are you okay?" Sam said standing up
She nodded.
"I'm just a bit shaken up" She said
"What happened?" Emily asked
"Nightmare…" She said looking down "I'm sorry for waking you…" She said still looking at the floor
"Iris, sweetheart it's okay…" Sam said and put his hand on her shoulder. She flinched.
Sam sighed.
"Iris, It's okay.. " He said again
She just nodded.
"Do you think I could stay with her tonight?" I asked Sam
She frowned
"Embry I don.." He started then Iris looked at him.. He looked crushed…
"Sure.." Emily said "Now, go upstairs and go back to sleep okay you two, you have school in the morning"
I nodded and picked Iris up, carrying her back up the stairs. I could feel her tears on my neck, I frowned and put her down on her bed.
"I'll be right back okay?" I said moving the hair from her eyes.
She nodded and sat up in her bed.
I ran into my room and threw on my boxers and a pair of sweats, and a beater.
"Embry…" I heard Sam say
"Yeah?" I said turning around
"Is she okay?" He asked me
"No… She isn't… " I said running my hand through my hair
"What happened?"
"She said she could feel her dad on her, she could feel him touching her, she could feel his eyes on her…" I said
"That's why she flinched" He said
"Yeah.." I said "She flinched when I touched her too…"
He nodded
"Just be careful Embry "He said
"I will be good night Sam" I told him and walked into Iris' room
She was sitting in the same spot, staring at the wall.
"Riss?" I said. She looked at me.
I sat on the bed and pulled her to my lap.
"Riss, It's going to be okay" I told her
"I know…" She said and lay on the other side of the bed.
I laid down next to her and held my arms open for her, She looked at me with a few tears running down her face, She scooted closer to me, and buried her head into my chest and sobbed.
I grabbed my ipod from my pocket and pressed play.
"Riss.. Listen to this" I said
She put one of the ear buds in her ear and smiled
"By now you know that, I'd come for you, No one but you, Yes I'd come for you, But only if you told me to, And I'd fight for you, I'd lie its true, Give my life for you, You know I'd always come for you"
I pressed pause and looked at her.
"It's true Riss.." I told her.
She nodded and buried her head into my chest again.
"I love you Embry" I heard her say
"I love you too Iris" I told her, lifted her chin and kissed her.
"I mean it Iris.."
"I know.." She said and leaned her head on my shoulder.
I ran my hand down her arm and back up until she fell asleep, when I heard her steady breathing I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
