I was lying in bed and I was silently crying. I never made it to school yesterday even though Embry wanted to meet him. it was just after everything that after noon I just couldn't try to even make my way to school my ribs hurt and I cried so hard I had a massive headache so I stay home. My father used me as a punching bag again today he slapped me and pulled my hair but today he used his cane I have a bruise on my leg and one around my torso. He would stop and come back for multiply time. There's one on my neck where he grabbed me. I let the snoring and the crying lull me to sleep. The pain hadn't faded so I had popped four Advil's. My eyes closed and I dreamed a dream where Jacob and i stood in the woods and he told me that Bella never made him fell the way I do.
"Amber I remember when you smiled at me the first time I t made me happy I was so sad my mom died and then Bella left. You were there to help me you became much more than a friend and I love-" I sat up in bed the sun was shining and it was so bright. The sun was high in the sky unlike when I wake up for school and it's slightly dark out side and it was good thing it hadn't rained. I would have never woken up.
My father it rung through my head like a shrill ring it caused my heart to beat faster and a panic to start. Why hadn't he wakened me? I'm sure he hadn't left early and there was no snoring. I walked softly out of my room and crept up the hallway stopping to see if I heard him breathing. I remember when I was young and he would let me sleep in late and my mother would be home. We would have breakfast and stuff and watch cartoons. That's when he was my father not the monster that beats on me.
I opened the door and his chest hadn't seemed to be moving and there was no sign of the constant snoring that has haunted this house since I was a baby. I went this side and he felt cold and there was no pulse.
I quickly found my phone and then called an ambulance.
"Um hello I'm amber and I think my father is dead he has no pulse and he is still laying in from last night I whispered
-/ Embry pov -/-
Where was amber she hadn't came to school she didn't come to my house and no one has seen her. I was getting scared but I had to pretend it had nothing to do with her father and I swear if he did anything. My hands started to shake and I just clenched them when I my phone rang and I went outside the class.
"Hello" I asked
"Embry come to the hospital and hurry I really need you it important" ambers voice pleaded and then she hung up. I swear if he did anything to hurt her I will kill him with my own hands. As if own on their own que they started shaking.
-/- Amber pov -/-
"Ms.-"
"Please call me amber" I said
"Well amber from the autopsy I can tell you he had gotten drunk and it caused alcohol poisoning and it may have cause an asthma attack which then effect his breathing but from being passed out he died" the doctor said
As he left I let out a deep breath I was done no more attacks on my life and no more crying my self asleep. I would be able to be a normal child. I had consumed three bags of chips, two sodas and one snickers bar despite the time of sorrow.
"Um excuse me I looking for a girl named amber" embry voice rang out
"Embry" I called out "he's gone"
The look on his face seemed as if he was relieved and sad at the same time like he was two moments away from giving me a big hug. I wanted to cry from the happiness radiating inside of me
Three days later- funeral Amber-
The most people that showed up were from his job it seems he had made many friends despite being the evil man he was when I arrived home. I hadn't told the people from my school or told Jacob or Quil they can't know. I don't want the sympathy looks or for people to tell me he was a great man he wasn't he was bad and evil and abused me because I look like my mother whom chose to have nothing to do with him any longer. I was his daughter he gave me life and he rather see me kicked down for his own twisted amusement. I sat thru it we had the gathering at the cemetery so there was no confusion or anything else I would show up and I would be able to leave with knowing he would still be there for the long run.
Embry and I made our way to the path outside of his house. It was secluded and I would be able to get out my feelings.
We found that over turned log. He sat down and my head automatically found the space between his shoulder and neck. I could have sworn that I had had growling but I shook it off.
"Do you still feel as if I'm your brother" Embry asked me and I pulled back
"Why do always ask that you're the best friend a girl could ask for and you will make the best brother ever" I said serious
"You might not believe it but I once had the biggest crush on you but you always seemed to look at Jake as if he held your heart" he whispered we just sat there it made me feel funny
"Shouldn't I have cried at least once today" I asked
"I guess I mean he was your father if you can call him" he said
"I know but I'm not sad I'm relived that I don't have to be scared any more I don't have to rush home and hide things because I'm scared of him" I murmmed he just nodded
I saw him he was looking off in the distance and I decide in a snap judgment to kiss him I slipped my hand into his hair and I pulled his face to mine. Meeting him half way our lip were pushed together and my heart kind of jumped but not like if I had kissed Jacob. I could tell that Embry was confused because his lips froze before moving against mine.
"Why did you do that" he asked
"Because you say that you had a crush on me I'm just giving you what I wish I could get from Jacob even it's late" I said
