Chapter 6: Hurting

I flashed him a big smile as he smiled back at me "yeah I know who you are."

"Oh umm..." he was flushed and looks embarrassed as if not knowing what to say next.

"your cute when your embarrassed," I said while putting my hand out " I'm Alexis but you can call me Lexi I make everyone call me Al but there is just something different about you I can't put my finger on it yet."

He looks around avoiding my eyes for some reason he looked like he was looking for someone but he found no one. We were the farthest people out closest to the water sitting on log just looking out to the water in complete silence. The silence wasn't awkward it was comfortable but I want to know more about this god sitting next to me. Most importantly I wanted to know about the girl he came with.

"So who is she?" I said while pointing to a group of girls laughing in the distance.

"Oh Elena? Well that's complicated," he stated while looking back towards the water.

"I've got time and I'm sure it's not that complex. Is she your girlfriend?"

"Yeah for now" he answered then he looks at me and saw me raise my eye brow questioningly.

"I mean no she won't be after tonight."

"What do you mean by 'she won't be by the end of the night'?" I said feeling happy that she would no longer be in the picture.

"Well we've been together a year now and well she knows everything about me." I sensed he had a double meaning to everything but I didn't say anything I continued to listen. "She knows why I can't give her my full heart and she understands that any day I please I can just end it so-"

I couldn't help but to feel anger boil up inside of me.

"So what today is the days you just feel like you don't need her anymore wow what a jerk you're the most asshole of a person I know."

I said while getting up to walk away but before I could even take another step he grabs my wrist and a tingle ran all the way up my arm to my spine. I knew he felt it to because then he drop my arm and just look at me begging me to stay with his eyes.

"No wait, I didn't mean it like that. These past months we've been drifting apart and we haven't been connecting like we use to. I found who I'm meant to be with now and I only have eyes for her and Elena is not her. Look I told you it was complicated."

"Oh" was all that came out of my lips he said he found the one he was meant to be with and it wasn't me. Yes I love Ace with everything I have but at this point everything just seemed so easy with Embry and I just met him I never felt this way toward Ace.

"Umm. Lexi what are you doing?" summer asked me in my mind

"Damn Summer what are you every time I'm looking at my feelings you always pop up are you supposed to be my little angel and devil that stays on my shoulder?"

"Hahahaha very funny Lexi. I just so happened to pop in and tell you don't wait up for me. I'm spending the night with Seth . And I also wanted to remind you not to do anything stupid with Embry you have been with Ace all through high school and he loves you I don't know why but he does so be careful."

"Okay I will behave whats so bad in asking questions? I will see you tomorrow bye."

"So Embry you just moved back right?"

"Um yeah me and the pa- guys thought it would be nice to come back home."

"Cool so you guys have a house ready?"

"Yeah me and Seth share a house, Neisse and Jake has one and so does Leah and Aiden."

"Oh but what about Seth's girlfriend Katie?"

"Katie, oh please," he snorted "No they are not together she tells everyone they are though she's madly in love with him and Seth just can't stand her but he's to much of a nice guy to be all rude by it. You have to see when she runs after him."

I automatically got a picture of Seth the big muscled guy running away from Katie and I started laughing hysterically it took me a minute to calm down and ask my next question.

"So are there anymore big giants hiding anywhere?"

Embry answered with a chuckle "yeah there's Quil and his girlfriend Claire she was tired and wanted to go back to the house so they went home."

"Oh that's sweet of him."

"Yup" he said popping the 'p. We sat in silence for awhile just looking at the water and quickly stealing glances at one another when his hand found mine and he intertwined our fingers. Instead of pulling away like my mind told me to do I flashed him a smile and look back at the ocean.

"I love this," I said as a whispers while I monition to the both of this forgetting where were and everyone around us.

"Yeah me too," he said leaning in to kiss me, just as our lips were going too met I heard Ace call my name.

"I'm right here," I said calling back and taking my hand back from Embry and looking towards Ace before I saw the look on Embry's face. When Ace finally reaches me his eyes automatically lit up as soon as they found my gaze. He pulled me up from the log and kissed me on my lips. I notice Embry shaking from the corner of my eyes just as Ace intertwined our fingers and played with my engagement ring.

"Ready to go baby?" Ace asking purring into my ear paying no attention to Embry.

"Umm... yeah," I replied not looking in embry's direction because I could feel his eyes burning threw my face and back down to my ring.

"Ace this is Embry, Embry this is Ace my-"my voice crack at the end and Ace finally look up and took in Embry.

"I'm Ace her fiancé. Nice to meet you," Ace said not noticing the tension in the air.

"I wish I can say the same for you "Embry murmur to low for any human to hear "yeah you too," he said loud enough for Ace to hear him.

"Look I don't mean to be rude but Al and I have plans so we have to go."

"Oh okay sure," Embry said standing the awkwardly.

"Em I'll see you around okay." I said finally having the courage to meet his gaze, his eyes held so much pain and I felt horrible knowing I was the one who put it there. I took so much of my will power not to let go of Ace hand and stay with Embry.

"Yeah I guess I will," he said while we were walking away. I stole one quick glance over my shoulder to look at where he was standing but he was gone and then as we kept walking I heard a wolf howl sounding in pain.
