Chapter 7- Heaven

That was amazing, exhilarating. No they aren't strong enough. I needed better words. That was like nothing I've ever experienced. I can't describe how utterly brilliant that was. I could have happily stayed there in that position for the rest of my life. Who needs oxygen when I have Embry? But of course it had to end. We weren't alone. There was a group of people through the door waiting for us to join them. To smile and laugh with them, to get to know them. All I wanted to do was stay with Embry. Stop the rest of the world and just live together, alone. I realised in that moment that I would have done anything for him. I would have given up everything for him. The feelings I felt towards him were so strong, the memory was so poignant I knew I never wanted to give him up.

It took him a while to pull away from me. He didn't want to stop this moment any more than I did but we had to come back to reality. We didn't say anything after the kiss. Even thinking about it made my heart go into overload, my pulse quicken. He just held my hand tightly, as if he was frightened I might run away if he let go. I wouldn't of course. I was never leaving him, ever. We walked towards the kitchen slowly, dragging out the time together. He paused at the door and I did too. I could hear the shouts and chatter coming from the other room but I ignored them. He leant into me again and kissed me once on the forehead. It wasn't as passionate or thought provoking as our earlier kiss but it was special and sweet. Nice in its own way.

Embry pushed the door open with his hand and we walked into the full kitchen. It was full, literally full. I wouldn't have looked so packed if it wasn't full of overly large teenage boys. Were all Quileute boy's this big? I made my way round the table and saw various sets of eyes following me, smiles on all of their faces. Well not all of them were smiling. The girl, Leah I think, had a horrible grimace plastered on her russet skin. She reminded me of Jake. What had I done to upset these people?

I took at seat in between Kim and Embry, Quil was on Embry's other side and quickly started up a conversation with Kim. "So do you go to school on the Reservation as well?" I asked, praying she would say she goes to Forks high. I crossed my fingers. "Yep, with all the boys," she said happily. My heart sank. I really wanted to know at least one person. "Oh, I'm going to be at Forks high"

"I'm sure you'll make friends easily," Kim replied reassuringly.

"I'm not sure I will," I mumbled quietly. By some miracle Embry heard me even though he was facing the other way and this room was so noisy I could barely hear myself think. "You will Al, promise"

"I don't make friends easily"

"And what are we then? If you're definition of friends is not this then you need a new dictionary" I had to smile at that. He was right, these people were friends but it felt like I was never going to fit in with anyone else the way I fit in here. I had only been here an hour and I was already happy and chatting away. I felt comfortable, at ease. It wasn't bad and difficult the way I had imagined it would be, the way it had always been with every other person I'd met. I actually felt like I could be me and people would like me for me.

"Food!" Emily shouted placing a huge pan on the table and lifting the lid. The smell was wonderful, so many flavours all at once. If it tasted as good as it smelt I could easily see why everyone was always round here. Emily walked round the table placing a plate in front of everyone before declaring that we should all dig in, immediately six boys ran forward scraping the pan nearly clean. "They're always like this," Kim said rolling her eyes. "You just have to wait until they're satisfied, they normally leave something." Jared sat down and gave Kim a plate full of pasta. "Or you could just wait for your boyfriend to get you some," she said winking at me. Embry sat down a second later, holding 2 plates he placed one in front of me. "Thanks"

"It's all part of the service," he smiled. I laughed at him.

We all dug into the food, it really was good. We normally have takeaways or ready meals it was nice to have a real, home cooked meal. Dad was always out and never had time to cook anything when he got in so it was either pizza or Chinese most nights. There wasn't much talking over dinner. Everyone was eating, or to be more specific stuffing as much food as possible into their mouths. I had honestly never seen anyone eat this much. I wondered how Emily and Sam had enough money to buy all this food. I was full after my 1st plateful but Quil and Jared were onto their 4th platefuls.

After, eventually, everyone had finished we wondered back into the living room and people began to do their own things. Seth and one of the others I don't know the name of started playing on some computer game, Emily and Sam sat together on the chair in a loving embrace and Jared and Kim took up their previous position on the couch. We sat down on the sofa again, next to Kim. We didn't talk for a while, just sat hand in hand. I envied Kim she was leaning back on Jared's chest again. I took the chance and leant back slowly. He would move away if he didn't want me too. I told myself that he was the one who'd kissed me and he would definitely be alright with a small thing like this but there was still a small part of my brain that kept saying that I was going too far, that I didn't mean as much to him as he meant to me. I tried to discourage these thoughts, they only made me sad.

I eventually managed to pluck up the courage from somewhere and leant into him, snuggling into his chest. I breathed out as he put his arm around me and leant down to kiss my forehead again, he was happy. I felt safer than I've ever felt before here in a stranger's house with a boy I met a couple of days ago. It was irrational but true. I knew nothing would ever hurt me here.

Kim and Jared got up and walked into the kitchen, they probably wanted some alone time and immediately their spots were filled by Quil. He was a different kind of person to Embry, more light-hearted and happy-go-lucky. He took everything in his stride. "Hey!" he said over excitedly. I did not deserve the treatment I got here. They were all too nice. "Hiya," I twisted my body so that I could face him.

"Sorry I haven't had chance to talk to you. I just had to beat Paul." The competition between them all, again, reminded me of brothers. "Did you beat him?" This seemed like a good way to start the conversation. All boys loved to talk about their achievements. "Hell yeah! 5-1. thrashed him!"

"I bet Paul's still sobbing in the corner," I said smiling.

"Yeah, he's a cry baby." I laughed at how ludicrous that sounded. Even though all these boys were so nice and happy I could tell they could look after themselves.

"What's so funny?" Quil asked.

"I'm just imagining you and Paul in a fight."

"Oh I would totally beat him," he said it like it was obvious.

"No way Quil," Embry interrupted "Paul is way stronger than you." I wondered why they said it so definitely. Quil interrupted by analyse. "He's strong yeah but I've got skills," he said elongating the s.

"I can't imagine you guys in a fight," I said honestly.

"Why?" they both said together. They sounded slightly offended.

"It's just the way you interact, like brothers. I can't see you fighting any more than I can see Emily getting up and attacking me," I responded. They both laughed at that. "Again with the perception," Embry muttered. He probably didn't think I could hear him. "I'm not perceptive just observant," I said.

"They're the same thing genius," Quil told me.

"No they're not. Perception is looking in between the lines, seeing what's not obvious and observation is analysing everyone's actions and interactions and making your own conclusions from there." I think I'd confused them, their expressions were hilarious. "What?" I said jokingly.

"Good luck keeping up with this one," Quil said to Embry. "She's got brains," he continued patting my head. "Embry's smart, just because you can't add 2 and 2" I joked to Quil. "5, right?" he said mockingly.

"Do you even go to school?"

"Occasionally…"

"That means No," I said.

"It means I'm far too intellectually advanced to go to regular school. All the other kids get annoyed at me when I answer all the questions"

"Just because you answer all the questions doesn't mean you get them all right." It felt really good to joke with Quil. Let my hair down for once. I always felt so closed in and secluded. I liked having friends to talk and laugh with.

The time flew by when I was here, I had got here at quarter to 7 and it was already 9:30pm. "Embry," I sighed. "I need to go, dad will be worried."

"Sure, of course Al." We stood up and walked to the door silently. We were nearly at the door.

I walked out the door hand in hand with Embry. I heard a few "Goodbye's being called from the kitchen as I walked out. "See it wasn't so bad, was it?"

"No actually, I had fun."

"Good, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself." We walked to the car and stopped next to the door. Embry leant in the way he had before and my heart had the same reaction. I had barely enough time to register what was happening until his lips were on mine and we were kissing again. This was heaven.


So what did you all think? Good, Bad, terrible? Please tell me your thoughts. Have any of you noticed how Ally is much more open than she was at the beginning of the story. She's acting more like her real self. I think Embry would help her to feel more comfortable just being her.

Do you all like the Quil relationship that's developing? I do! I'm thinking about a just Quil and Allly chapter where they meet up or somthing. Would you like that? Any ideas where they should go/what they should do?

Sorry I'm asking all these questions I just really love to hear your thoughts. Remember 10 reviews! Please help me get them!

Lots of love Anya xxx Thanks for reading! xxxx
