Thanks for the reviews. Enjoy! =)
Chapter Eight
After school that day when I got home I did all my homework and then played with Alexa for a little bit. By playing I mean hand games. Well since it was somewhat nice we went outside and played tag for a little bit. I made her a sandwich when we got back because she was hungry even though she had one before mom left. That caused me to laugh when she started rubbing her tummy.
Mom and dad eventually came home and mom cooked dinner. We ate in silence. As usual.
When that was over I went to my bedroom and just got my stuff for my shower. I braided my hair into two braids after my shower and then returned back to my room going on my computer and not doing anything interesting in particular.
In time I fell asleep. When I woke up my computer was back where I got it from originally. I guessed mom or dad had put it back for me so I would have to thank them later.
I got up and went to the window. It was raining lightly but somewhere in the sky it looked like the sun was trying to come out. Where we finally getting nice weather?
I put on a leopard print short sleeve shirt, light black skinny jeans with gray lines and black flats that had bow on the top. I went to the bathroom brushing my teeth and washing my face before putting my hair out. I loved it curly and dry. I shook it a little just for the fun of it before smiling in the mirror.
I couldn't help notice that was like my old smile. I immediately stopped thinking like that. I didn't want any reminder of my old self. I rolled my eyes before leaving the bathroom and getting my stuff running downstairs.
I was surprised to see dad and mom both downstairs and Alexa. Mom was putting pancakes on the kitchen table. Eggs had already been put down and bacon. Alexa was sipping her orange juice out of her cup before she waved at me.
I waved back and sat down at the table. "Good Morning."
"Someone's in a good mood," dad commented grinning at me. I couldn't help but grin back. I wasn't sure how long this would last but we would see.
From the corner of my eye I saw mom glare at dad and then give him a look. I just took some breakfast before digging in, wow was I hungry this morning.
I ate quickly though not wanting to be late for school. "Slow down Alexis." Mom said smiling at me.
I took my glass or orange juice and gulped it down. "Sorry mom. I have school. See you all later." I got up slinging my bag over my shoulder and securing my binder in my arms.
I kissed dad forehead, mom's cheek and then Alexa's cheek. I turned to leave them waving really quick. I hoped I wasn't late. I probably had time to spare so I wasn't that worried about things. Most likely everything would be fine.
I got into my car and drove quickly to school but stayed in the speed limit. When I parked I rushed in stopping at my locker and then going to my homeroom. On the way I almost ran into Jacob, literally.
It was a awkward. When I looked at Jake I couldn't help feel betrayed. I thought he never wanted to be like them but I guess things change. People change.
I guessed he and Quil found something good in Sam Uley and his followers.
"Ugh..hey...Alexis." Jake sounded like he didn't know exactly what to say to me.
"Jacob." I told myself to keep it simple. One word was good.
"Um, well how have you been?" He seemed to get his act together a little bit.
I nodded. "I've been," awful. "I've been good. And you?"
"Alright, I guess."
"I see you joined Sam," I said looking away. I never really talked to him about it. I knew he would leave as well and wouldn't speak or hang around me. I was right. Same with Quil.
Jake rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, it's kind of funny how things worked out." I didn't find any of it funny. I guessed I was just missing the joke or something.
I tried to smile but I just frowned. I moved to walk away from him and just get to class but he grabbed my arm. I spun around immediately. Wow, he was strong.
"What the hell was that for?" I asked, wide eyed.
Jake frowned slightly. "Sorry don't know my own strength sometimes. Anyway, you should talk to Embry."
I rolled my eyes. "You know I tried in the beginning. He doesn't want me anymore."
"He loves you." To me it seemed like Jacob was actually believing what he was saying. Wow. If he only knew,
Embry didn't love me. What he had was just...at this point I don't even know what it was that we had.
"No he doesn't," I spat.
Jake growled at me. Literally. No, he really did. What the hell was his problem. And what was up with him growling. Maybe he was hanging out around Paul to much or something.
"What's your problem Jake!" I exploded. I was glad it was only us two in the hallway. I was probably late for class but at this moment I didn't care to be honest.
"Listen Alexis this shouldn't have happened. You and Embry, you're meant to be together. He's just being an ass and fighting it. But he does love you, he doesn't want to hurt you."
"I have no clue what you're talking about." I told him honestly.
Jake nodded his head, "I know. You should though. Gosh, I knew this would happen. Everyone did. We tried to tell Embry. We all knew you would begin to think he didn't love you."
"I don't think, I know. Why do you think he left me? I'm sure Sam Uley and his followers had something to do with it to though. No, actually I'm positive. Whatever."
I tried to walk away again but Jake grabbed my arm and stopped me. He growled at me, again. Wow. If he growls at me one more time I might just growl back or maybe just hit him dead in the face.
Jake put his hands on my shoulders then and shook my a little bit. It kind of hurt a bit but not really. He was just so strong I mean wow.
"What do you want Jake?" I asked through my teeth.
"Embry does love you, I want you to know that."
I nodded, "Thanks for telling me. I'll see you around."
He let me walk away then. Except I walked to the parking lot.
"Where are you going?"
"Don't know," I yelled over my shoulder honestly.
I closed my eyes for a second and then, turned my head and looked at back at Jake again. I couldn't be here. I couldn't handle this right now. Just not today. Jake gave me sad eyes and I turned back around and kept walking to the parking lot.
I knew mom and dad wouldn't approve of what I was going to do but at the moment I didn't care. I would make mom call in sick for me or something later. I could get my work tomorrow. Right now I just had to get out of here.
I got into my car and pulled out of school. I put my stuff in the back of my car and then leaned back in my seat. I really had no clue where I was going at this point. I could've sworn I saw Jacob leave the school as I pulled out but just guessed it was my imagination.
I had a lot of my mind right now.
I wasn't sure where I was headed to but I ended up at La Push beach. I parked my car and sat there for awhile. After I was done I just got out of the car and walked down the beach. I was glad that I had ended up taking my flats off and leaving them. I also rolled up the bottom of my pants slightly.
I enjoyed the feeling of sand between my toes. It was weird because I hadn't done this in awhile but I smiled remembering this. It was kind of wet though from the rain. Right now it wasn't really raining just drizzling but it was stopping soon, I could see it.
And the sun was coming out. Thankfully. Maybe if I wasn't grounded for this I could play with Alexa like yesterday. I'm sure right now she was enjoying the view of watching. That was something she enjoyed.
Watching the sky.
I started towards the ocean soon. I giggled to myself when the cold waves touched my feet. In a way it felt, good. I closed my eyes shut and smiled as I walked in deeper. I opened my eyes when I felt something. I was at a rock. I climbed up and then sat on the tallest rock there.
I sat criss crossed and just enjoyed the view. I loved the way the water was moving right now. Waves overlapping one another. It was really a beautiful sight.
Wow, I was lucky.
I closed my eyes again and tried to drift off to a different place, my imaginary place. Somewhere that I could be to myself. Jut me. No pain at all. I could be anything and everything that I had wanted to be.
From behind I heard a different change of the sounds. Like someone was coming. I knew someone was after awhile. I could feel there eyes on my back. I took in a deep breath and left my imaginary place.
I opened my eyes and slowly turned my head. I couldn't help but gasp when I did turn around. "What do you want?"
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the reviews and everything so far. Really appreciate them. Review(:
