Disclaimer deuce: The killer in me is the killer in you! I know you all hate my Leah in the story, but it's a logical thing for her to do, and I'm sorry if you don't like her any more after this chapter.
Embry's POV
I was glad I didn't bring my cell phone with me today, it would have been destroyed during the phase, I did manage to pick up my keys as a wolf and hide them under my tongue.
I didn't know what to think anymore, all I knew was I was running as fast I as I could home avoiding any open space I could. For the most part I ran in the woods near the road, but when that opened up I'd move out of my way to stay in the woods. Because of the distance I needed to go around towns and such Jacob was much faster riding his bike home, he'd beat me there by a long shot. I had too much time to think on my way back. What the fuck is she doing here? Most my time was spend thinking explicit words how much I hated her, but deep down I knew that couldn't change the fact I loved her.
You are one fucked up guy. I told myself. I'm a masochist remember? I asked myself, I was in front of the house and there were clothes on the front porch, along with my cell phone on top. I phased to tie the clothing to my ankle and put the cell phone in a pouch I kept around my neck so it wouldn't break, I phased back and headed back. A couple minutes later a voice entered my head.
"Embry, don't go back there!" Jacob called, picturing a couple hours ago when I saw her.
"I'm just grabbing my bike then turning around and coming back, leave my head I need to think." I demanded of him.
"One of the Cullens could get your bike." He thought then realized it was a sunny day.
"It's my bike, my responsibility." I said as if it was a command. He stopped and phased out and left me to my own thoughts. Had I been lying to Jacob when I said I was going to turn around and back? Every part of me wanted to confront her, not run away, the problem was half of me wanted shove my tongue down her throat and the other part wanted to scream at her. I knew which side would win, the side that always wins, it's reasonable. That fucking little whore left me and goes and what fucks around the first guy she sees? Does she even miss me? Does she even fucking care what that did to me?
I bet she was fucking playing me all along, just fucking dragging me along. That sweet little whore she is, that slut, I fucking hate her.
I calmed down and phased back human by some trees across a meadow from my bike, I changed throwing my cell phone in my pocket and throwing on a tight fighting tank top and pants that did make me look good. My vision wasn't perfect from phasing, but in the distance I could see a body sitting in front of my bike.
You idiot that's her! I stopped mid step. Was I really ready for this? Are you kidding? Of course you're not ready to talk coherently with her, hell you weren't when you when you two were going out. Shut up! You're not ready for this. I know but she's not giving me a choice. Oh fuck Embry, she's crying. Her face was in her hands. She was sobbing. Could I really do anything besides comfort her when she's crying? Could I really be mad at her? The answer was no, I couldn't be angry with her when she was obviously crying over me.
I approached silently. She hadn't noticed me until I was ten feet from her and the wind blew my scent at her. Her eyes were red rimmed. She must have been here since I left how many hours ago. She wiped the tears out of her eyes quickly hiding it as if I wouldn't notice. Any anger I had disappeared. I couldn't speak. Why was I mad at her? She's fucking going out with some random dude? But she was crying! So, you think she wasn't using that to get you back? She wouldn't would she? Of course she would, she left you while you were medically unstable. You could have died! I couldn't break the silence. I couldn't face her like this. I could face her when she wasn't crying over me. I couldn't look at her. I stepped around her to the opposite side of my bike. Are you seriously just going to walk away, she's right there, she's everything you want and more! Yeah and everything I want and more is going out with someone else. I pulled my bike away and put the key in the ignition. She stumbled then stood up and her eyes were on fire.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" she yelled, her voice was ragged, but it still had the beauty it had before in it. What? Like you want to swear at you?
"No." I finally responded quietly. It was her choice. She stood in front of the front wheel and I rolled my eyes and simply turned my bike. She moved with me.
"I know you want to say more!" she said making a vice around my front wheel with her arms.
"You made your bed. Now get fucked in it." I said with anger seeping over. Her eyes flared, apparently that crossed some mental line.
"You think this is about sex?" I shrugged in response not even looking at her anymore.
"I don't know, the only thing I've done wrong apparently is not fucked your brains out, which is something I regret." A sound approached from the trees, my eyes turned. It was David.
"Leah, we have been looking all over for you." David ran up to her and hugged and kissed her. It felt like a knife was being stabbed in to my stomach and twisting. I saw the person behind David, his eyes met mine for a second then his widened. I turned my wheel away from Leah kicking my bike to life.
"You made your bed. Now get fucked in it." I said driving off giving the finger as I left.
Her POV
I hadn't decided to kiss Dave he just kissed me I froze in place. No, please no not here not with him.
"You made your bed. Now get fucked in it." Embry said riding away on his bike. He was giving the finger. Wow, that is a different Embry, he barely swore before. I was too ashamed to look at Dave. My eyes turned to Harley for support. He jaw was dropped as he watched Embry leave. His eyes turned to mine, seeing how bloodshot they were. It was obvious he knew who that was.
"I'm going after him, don't follow me." Dave shook his head trying to wrap his arms around me. I pushed him off.
"No Dave, don't follow me!"
"And leave you to deal with that dangerous freak? I think not." My eyes turned to Harley and he was surprised at what Dave said.
"Leah is more then capable of handling things herself. If we didn't show up she probably would have dealt with it."
"I will not risk it!" Dave said adamantly.
"You will risk it, you WILL not follow her" he commanded in his Alpha tone.
"If you attempt to, you will have to deal with me." Harley said crossing his arms. Dave was obviously disgusted with both of us.
"I can't believe you're letting her deal with a monster like that." I laughed harshly and started running to the opposite side of the meadow, as long as Harley was going to help me no one else needed to know I was a werewolf. I sprinted faster then I should be able to, I smelt his trail. As soon as she was in the cover of the forest I stripped down to phase. I was chasing his smell, every now and then wondering if I'd be able to keep up with him on the freeway. I followed his scent and it became clear I wouldn't be able to. My nose on the ground, the scent growing weaker every step I took, I had to slow down, I was at it for hours. I needed to find him, I needed him. Sure you do, that's why you dumped him, ran away and hooked up with the first guy that liked you. Shut up damn it! The scent was getting weak it moved to an opening in the woods.
Embry must have realized I was following him. He was on the side of the freeway, leaning up against his bike waiting for me. He couldn't see me but he was staring exactly where I was. I made a low growling sound. He rolled his eyes and kicked his bike to life, pulling away. I kept my eye on him as we ran past St. Cloud, each exit I expected him to turn off to. It made sense it was the biggest small town around. He kept riding. He turned off but I couldn't see what town we were in. I followed as close as I could, I heard him turn off his bike. Is he going to stop running? I changed back in to human form and put my clothes back on. I ran out and saw his bike in the distance by a water tower. Why is it there? He's not running, and if he is he's in wolf form and I can catch him. I ran to the bike, the key was out of the ignition. His smell stopped he didn't go anyway, then I looked up, yes that's where his scent went. Embry why are you going up a water tower? I thought to myself before grabbing the rungs. I climbed up hesitantly. I reached the top, he was facing the other way, on the phone. I couldn't believe it, it was really him.
"Yeah Jasper, I'll be fine, I'll come home after this is all over." Wait he's living with the Cullens now?
"Yeah she is here." He said. I noticed he didn't say my name. Something really had Jasper spooked.
"Bye Jasper. And thanks" he said sighing. he closed the phone and turned around.
"Hi…"
Embry's POV
She had joined me up here. It took everything I could do to not turn around. Jasper sounded worried on the other side of the phone.
"Are you going to be okay? You sure you don't want me to come meet you?" I smiled at Jasper's question. Jasper was too nice, when he wasn't a cold calculated killing machine.
"Yeah Jasper, I'll be fine, I'll come home after this is all done."
"Well you know I'm here for you, no matter what happens, if you bring her back drunk and drugged up I'll still be here for you." I smiled.
"Bye Jasper. And thanks." I hit the end button. I guess it's time to meet my fate. I turned to face her but I couldn't look at her.
"Hi…" Her name got caught in my throat I couldn't say it. I looked every direction, anywhere but at her.
"Embry, look at me." she asked taking a step closer. Please just leave, maybe some day I will be able to deal with this, but not today, I can't handle the fact you replaced me. I'm not strong enough.
"No… I can't" She's standing in front of you and you can't say her name? You're pathetic. Tears were forming in my eyes. Great, now you're crying. I can't help it!
"Embry, are you crying?" she asked I still wasn't looking at her, I was looking up but I could feel she was only a foot away from me. She hadn't dared touch me. The tears were now running down the side of my face.
"Please… just… leave…" I said barely audibly.
"You need to look at me first." Her voice said from underneath me. I looked down at her and the tears became visible to her.
"I can't look at you…" I choked on her name again.
"Leah…" I finally managed to get out. There were tears in her eyes. Nothing could stop me, I lightly wiped them out of her eyes. I pulled her to me wrapping my arms around her. You stupid idiot what the fuck are you doing, she'll go back to her boy friend, let go of her right now! I knew that was the logical thing to do, but since when was love logical?
"Ten minutes late" I managed to get out, before more tears lined my face. Her eyes met mine, without thinking my lips were on hers. It was the fiercest kiss we'd had. It feels so good, and yet so wrong. I pulled away.
"I'm sorry, I need to leave." I tried to get around her but her arms wrapped around me.
"I just got you back I'm not letting go." I shook my head pulling her hands away from me.
"No you didn't get me back, I made a mistake." She was crying but I couldn't look at her.
"You made your bed…" I said before moving to the ladder. She grabbed me and quite physically pulled me back.
"Why here, why did you lead me here." I shrugged after she asked the question.
"This is where I go to get over Clearwater." She looked confused.
"What do you mean, 'get over Clearwater.' I don't understand."
"We're standing on the Clearwater water tower, Jacob brought me here two day's ago to get over Clearwater." I was pulling away I needed to get away.
"Please Embry, don't leave I need you." she cried trying to stop me.
"You have your boy friend, you replaced me. I was waiting for you, I couldn't look at another girl, I couldn't touch any one else." I grabbed the ladder and slid down. She was chasing me down sliding. I didn't move out of the way. I slid and caught her in my arms. I don't know why I did that but I couldn't let go of her. She didn't want me to either by the look in her eye. I sighed and she tightened her grip.
"What did you mean when you said you 'Ten minutes late'?" I loosened her grip and put her on the ground, very much so against her will.
"Before our battle with the Werebears, I was going to tell you something, but I argued that we needed to focus on the battle ahead. So I was going to tell you right after the battle, but I was injured, and I never saw you again." I said not sure if I was going to tell her where this was leading, I needed to get away.
"What were you going to say." She asked don't tell her. Don't tell her. Don't tell her! Do NOT tell her you were about to tell her you love her!
"It's not important, you've moved on." I walked away and she grabbed my arm then my shoulder and pulled me back to her. Her arms grabbed my tank top pulling my lips to hers. I couldn't resist I wanted her too much. I needed her. Her lips tasted better then I ever remembered them. Her smell was better. It was my personal addiction. I didn't have the will to pull away but I did need air to breathe still. I took that moment of control to take a step back. What are you doing? Isn't this what you wanted? Yeah, but not to be her fucking post while she goes out with some one else!
"Stop running and fucking kiss me already, you know you want to damn it." Leah said getting a hold of me again. Stop running from her and kiss her! Hey what could it hurt, if she's kissing you like this she wants to get back with you, doesn't she?
My lips passionately met hers. We were both making up for lost months, it felt so good. My hands ran up and down her back pulling her closer to me. A quiet moan escaped my throat. She cooed under me. I grew stiff remembering what I'd learned yesterday in math. Logical course doesn't always imply logical answer. Meaning she could be making out with you, but not want you like that. You idiot, she's still taken!
I pulled away slowly softly, trying not to alert her to my escape. I had to get away why I still could will it to happen. She caught on. I jumped on my bike and kicked it to life. If I drive through Clearwater to get to St. Cloud I can probably ditch her, I don't want her following me. she was moving to block my patch I turned my bike and kicked it forward, begging it to get away before she could get her hands around me or it. I made it, and I didn't even need to tell her anything, I didn't need to tell her that I loved her. I didn't need to tell her I still love her. Maybe if I get away. She will find you, she'll find a way. I knew that, I just wanted to delude myself in to think I could go back to how it was.
I guess that left one thing to do, get home and wait for the hurricane to hit.
Yeah ahuh, I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants, but there will be a twist and or turn here some where. Comments, rolls of twenty dollar bills, ideas, high fives, reviews! AND, because of the fact I got 5 reviews within, what 2 hours I put up the next chapter, I need to fix up the next chapter but if I get so many reviews I'll probably put it up tonight too.
