Learning To Breathe

"Where is that girl she's been gone for over three hours?" Henry was now sitting outside on the step we had all been waiting. After Leah phased she ran off most likely scared that Henry would not except who she was. That left Seth and I to explain what her and Seth were. We told him everything leaving out the Vampire part.

"She's most likely worried that you won't love her anymore, I mean you told the girl you wanted to marry me I can't blame her" I looked at him and then over at Seth who was impatiently waiting for his Sister. He had been pacing back and forth for about 30 minutes now.

"I told her that was in the past and she is right now, I mean I know it will be hard with you here and all but I can manage" I rolled my eyes.

"I'm going to go find her will you two be okay?" Seth looked worried like he didn't trust us to be alone together.

"It's fine go find her she's probably balling her eyes out" I said to him. Before he left he gave me a kiss on the cheek and phased right in front of us. His clothes tore into tiny pieces as he leaped into wolf form. Henry's eyes were wide with fear.

"How did you get caught up in werewolves?" once Seth was gone I sat down on the steps next to Henry, far enough away so that I felt comfortable.

"It's a long story" I said looking out into the distance hearing Seth howl for his sister.

"Well we've got time" he stated.

"I really don't want to talk about it"

"I thought all girls love to gush about how they met their love"

"Look there's more to it then that and I told you I don't want to discuss it" I said to him. He stayed quiet for a few minutes.

"So how are your parents?" he questioned.

"Are you serious?" I questioned.

"I'm just trying to strike up a conversation"

"Shouldn't you be thinking about how you are going to apologize to Leah for being a jerk?" I questioned.

"I already know what I'm going to say to her" I crossed my arms and looked at him.

"My parents aren't exactly a hot topic of conversation" I said to him.

"You don't live with them anymore do you?" he looked like he knew exactly what my answer was going to be.

"And what if I didn't live with them what would you do about it?" I questioned.

"Do they know?" he questioned. I shook my head.

"Did you run away?" he questioned.

"Henry c'mon please stop can't we just sit here in silence" I said.

"No we can't I want to know, I do still care you know" he said.

"Well you shouldn't care you have Leah now" I told him.

"Do they know where you are?" he questioned.

"No they don't" I softly said.

"Sometimes I think they should of never adopted a child" he was staring out into the distance like it was something I knew.

"Excuse me?" I questioned. He looked at me.

"What?"

"You just said adopted?" I questioned.

"Yeah… I…." We heard footsteps coming towards us it was Seth and Leah in pure wolf form. Leah phased back apparently she didn't care about being naked in front of me. Seth however stayed back and in wolf form. She walked over to us, I got up looking the other way but eyeing Henry with suspicion.

"Come with me" I watched as she grabbed his hand and he followed his face was in awe like he had never seen her naked before. I walked over to Seth still in shock and still wanting to find out from Henry what he knew about an adoption. That was absolutely impossible my parents both looked like me well my Mom at least. Why would they ignore a child that they adopted?

Seth looked at me still in wolf form and tilted his head, then he licked my face and it was a sloppy kiss. I wiped my face and giggled like a little girl. I looked into his dark eyes as he looked into mine. It was getting a bit weird with him being in wolf form.

"Would you like me to get you some clothes so you can change?" I questioned him. He nodded his head. I walked back into the house on my way to his room I heard Leah and Henry in her room. It sounded as if they had made up. I quickly grabbed some jeans, boxers and a t-shirt for Seth to change into. Once I returned he was lying down in the dirt.

"Seth your getting dirty" I said to him. He made a high pitch whining noise and then stood up. In case he went behind a tree to phase he didn't want Henry to see him naked. I stood on the other side of the tree and handed him his clothes. Once he was done he came out from behind the tree and hugged me.

"How's your Sister?" I questioned.

"She's okay" he said.

"Well it sounds like they were making up" I said rolling my eyes. He laughed and pulled me closer.

"Can I make up with you too?" he questioned with his playful grin.

"Sure" I said with a smile. He kissed me as hard as he could and held me as tight as he could.

"How was that?" he said after a few minutes.

"Amazing like always you never disappoint me" I said.

~*~*~

Seth and I decided to make it a movie night, after we finally ironed the red shirt I had picked out for him, NOT PINK! We got comfortable on his bed and watched all of the Jay and Silent Bob movies, starting with Clerks ending with Dogma.

"You seem distracted a bit" he said to me.

"I'm sorry babe, Henry said something to me today that confused the shit out of me" I told him.

"What's that sweetie?" he questioned. We had just finished watching the last movie and I was getting on my shoes so that he could take me home. I wanted him to get plenty of rest for his interview tomorrow.

"He said something about me being adopted at least I think he was saying that, he said sometimes I think they should have never adopted a child… and then you and Leah showed up and I couldn't finish talking with him"

"Maybe they adopted another child since you and he knows" I looked at him and crossed my arms.

"Okay I'm sorry" he said.

"Would you care if I spoke with him? He was a bit close with my parents when we were dating, maybe its true I don't know" I said to him.

"Beautiful you know I trust you with all of my heart to talk to him I don't care who you talk to I'm not tying you down and saying no you can't"

"How did I end up with the best boyfriend ever?" I questioned as I stood up he was standing directly in front of me and I leaned up and kissed his soft lips.

"Well you know" he stated acting like a confident prick. I pushed him back with a laugh.

We pulled up at my house he shut off the car for a minute.

"Would you like me to walk you in tonight?" he questioned. I looked over at him.

"Sure if you'd like" I said to him. He smiled and opened his door, before I could grab my bag and open my door, he was there with it open for me. I stepped out and smiled at him. He took my hand and walked me to the door like it was our first date.

"I told Emmett I would take care of you and I'm going to keep my promise to him" he said to me.

"You are such a gentleman" I said kissing him. He wrapped his arms around me and refused to let go.

"Good luck tomorrow" I said to him.

"Thank you babe, I have my good luck charm" he said.

"What's that?" I questioned. He reached into his back pocket pulling out a brown wallet. He opened up the wallet and pulled out a picture of me. It had been at the carnival he took a picture of me with the big stuffed wolf he had won for me. I smiled and hugged him.

"You don't need luck, you'll get the job" I said with a confident smile.

"I know it just makes me feel better"

"Good, now go get some sleep" I said pushing him lightly.

"Love you mongrel" I said with a smile.

"I love you blood sucker" he said.

I walked into the house and as I walked passed the living room I heard Emmett clear his throat.

"Hey" I said stopping in my tracks.

"Hey bud, I was thinking your 17 and I know you are stuck and we aren't always around to take you places I'm free tomorrow if you'd like to learn how to drive" he said.

"Oh my god really?" I questioned.

"Can we steal Rosalie's car?" I questioned. He laughed and shook his head.

"She would have us both for dinner, we can take the jeep if that's okay with you" he said.

"That would be awesome" I said with a smile.

"Great 10am you me and the Jeep?" he questioned.

"Sounds good, I'm going to go relax for the night I think, thanks again" I said running over to him. I gave him a giant bear hug.

"Thanks Dad" I said in a meaningful tone. I saw his smile, him and Rosalie really liked when I referred to them as my parents.

"Hey sweetie" I looked up on my way upstairs to see Rosalie walking downstairs. Most likely to find her missing man.

"Hey" I stopped on the stairs and looked at her.

"Can I actually talk to you… I heard something today that just baffled my mind" I said to her. She nodded and followed me into my room. We both sat down on the sofa and she waited for me to began.

I began to explain to her exactly what had happened from the supermarket run in with Henry to me ending up at Seth's and finding Henry there. Then I went into Leah phasing and then the big one.

"So then Henry says something about how my parents shouldn't of adopted if they weren't going to care…" I looked at her.

"Do you think that's true?" she questioned.

"I honestly don't know what to think and now I want to know, but I can't go to them and ask because then they will find me and make me live with them. I don't want that I want to stay here with you and Emmett, after only being here for a few months you have been better parents to me then they ever were" I said.

"First you should talk to this Henry character if you don't want to talk to your parents you said he was pretty close with them when you two were dating"

"Hopefully I'll get to see him I mean he is dating Leah so I should, in a way I wish it were true, but then I want to know where my real parents are and why they just gave me up" I began to feel myself getting upset. If I did have real parents how could two sets of parents not love me? What was wrong with who I was? Why did Rosalie and Emmett love me and they couldn't.

"Honey you look upset" she moved closer and placed her arm around my shoulder.

"I'm why would 2 Families not love me, am I not loveable? Is there something wrong with me I don't get it I just …." I couldn't hold it in I started sobbing. I was getting used to sobbing with no tears. I was hurting so badly right now and poor Rosalie had to deal with my sadness.

"Sweetie you are loveable I love you and Emmett does too, and plus you have Seth's love how could you say that you aren't loveable? They have no idea what they are missing" she held me closer.

Rosalie and I jumped when there was a knock at the door, it was open and Emmett was standing there watching us.

"Hey what's going on did I miss something?" he asked with a worried voice.

"I'll explain to you later babe" she said to him.

"You okay Angel?" he walked over to me and sat down on the other side. I nodded and buried my head into his chest.

"I have you guys but it still makes me feel like shit to know that if it's true 2 Families didn't love me" I sobbed. Emmett looked confused but he didn't say anything, he knew Rosalie would explain it to him later.

"I'm going to watch a movie if you two need me please do" Emmett said. I nodded and leaned back over to Rosalie.

"I'll be there in a minute" she said to him. He nodded giving me one last hug and heading out the door.

"Look we are going to work through this okay? I will be right there behind you when you find out any information on your parents. If the adoption thing is true and you by any chance want to find your real parents please by all means I will be behind you and help you out one hundred percent" she said.

"You are the best Mother I have ever had thank you so much Rosalie" I said to her finally calming down.

"Why don't you relax a bit watch some T.V. cuddle under a blanket read a book and relax she left.

That night I did what she told me to do, I cuddled up with the big wolf that I had gotten from the carnival and I decided to read a book.

~*~*~*~

"Okay check your mirrors" Emmett had moved the jeep out of the garage and into the pathway to the road.

"Check" I said making sure I was able to see on either side and behind me.

"Turn on the engine" I was ready for this so I turned the key and let the engine purr.

"Okay keep your foot on the break as you shift into drive" I listened to every instruction he was giving me.

"Okay ease up on the break and lightly move, if you hit the gas too hard you can destroy the car and then I'd kill you" he laughed.

"Ha Ha"

"So where can we drive today?" I questioned.

"Around Forks if you'd like" we got to the main road and I checked everything had my signal on and made my way out.

"Well here I thought you'd be a slow driver but you are a Cullen already" I looked down at my speed realizing I was going 60 mph already.

"Is this too fast?" I questioned.

"Not even close" he said with a smile.

"Great can I go faster?" I questioned.

"Angel concentrate on learning" he said with a laugh.

"I need a job so I can get a fast car" I said as we cruised through town.

"We told you enjoy your teen years, you missed too much of it working now your with us we got the cars covered, pick a color" he said. I looked at him for a minute.

"Hey eyes on the road" he shouted with slight laughter in his voice. I looked back at the road ahead.

"Metallic blue" I said with a smile.

"Do you know what kind of car you want?" he questioned.

"To be honest I'm not much of a car buff I'm more of an alcoholic beverage buff" I stated with a smile.

"Well that's not helping us in this situation now is it"

"How about if we get you your license you and I will go and pick out a car together" I looked at him quickly.

"Eh eyes on the road" I smiled.

"Really you don't have to do that for me"

"Believe me it's fine" he said with a reassuring smile.

My phone started ringing and it was sitting next to me in the cup holder.

"No talking and driving" I looked down at the phone.

"It's Seth I told him to call me if he got the job" I pleaded. I grabbed for the phone and flipped it open. Emmett snickered.

"SO do we have a job?" I questioned.

"Baby you are my good luck charm because I have a job and I'm getting $13 and hour and it's full time" he said.

"OH MY GOD SETH THAT'S SO GREAT I'M SO PROUD OF YOU" I shouted.

"So what are you doing?" he questioned.

"I'm driving"

"What?" he questioned.

"My Dad is teaching me" I said with a confident smile. I noticed Emmett smiling in the seat next to me.

"You guys should drive over here" he said.

"Why don't you drive there and I'll take the jeep home" Emmett suggested. I smiled.

"I'll be there in a few minutes" I hung up the phone, I felt like I had forgotten everything that had happened yesterday I was too excited about Seth's job, driving, and getting a car if I got my license. Today was turning out to be so great.

I pulled up to Seth's house and he was leaning against his truck waiting for me. Once I stopped Emmett decided to roll out of the jeep screaming in horror.

"OH THANK GOD WE AREN'T MOVING ANYMORE" he kissed the ground.

"You are a character" I said walking over to him. Seth was cracking up watching Emmett cling to the ground like a kid. He got up and smiled.

"We'll work something out to get your license we have connections" he said with a smile.

"Thanks again Dad" I said.

"Anytime Bud" he said giving me a hug.

"Seth guess what, they said when I get my license I get my own car what ever car I want" I said jumping up and down. He smiled hugging me.

"You and I are having a great day" he said with a smile.

"We should celebrate let's go to the beach it's a nice day out" he said referring to the sign of no rain, but still no sun.

"I like that idea" he spun me around into a hug and let me go. Nothing could change my mood today I was having a good day and was not going to spoil it.
