A/N: So I stayed up late (not really only 12) to type this chapter up for you guys. :) It's a little longer than usual...I hope you don't mind (if you really hate it tell me so I can shorten the chapters)

..Mexico brought to my attention that at then end of the Breaking Dawn there were two packs instead of one....I completely forgot about that! So instead of rewriting the story I am going to have the two packs together...at least for now :) and here I was trying to keep this story canon! lol

Chapter 10: Let's Go

"Don't you-" I started but then I couldn't finish, she held on to me tighter. I could feel my face turn red, I looked at Alexa she was waiting for me to respond.

I raised my arms and brought them up against my sisters locked arms. I winced from the bruises I had gotten from Paul earlier but my sister still fought me, I was embarrassed and I wanted to end her attack. I swung my arms through and kicked her using all my force against the back of her knees making her fall forward to the ground as I wrapped my arms against her neck.

"Game over" I yelled tersely in her ear "Let's go home now, I think we've settle in their minds that we're freaks"

I was loosening my grip when I felt myself being lifted and thrown forward in the air. I landed with a thud on my butt. Pain ricocheted through my body; I wouldn't be able to sit again. I closed my eyes but then opened them.

"Don't." Alexa commanded, I assume somebody was going to rush over to help me.

"What did you do wrong?" she said staring down at me with her arms crossed.

"That was definitely more than 45 seconds, help would've come." I said impatiently as I got up. I didn't feel too much pain, the thud sounded worse than how I actually felt. I didn't land too hard, then again Alexa did make me practice my landing.

"Not in New York!" Alexa screamed at me, she shifted impatiently "What did you do wrong?"

"I underestimated my opponent?" I asked not sure, why did she have to do this now?

"George rule number 2, you incapacitate your opponent. You should've knocked me out with a pole or something."

"Sorry, but I don't like beating up my sister. Plus Emily would not have appreciated it I hit you with a chair." Though right now I really wanted to! "would you Emily."

I glanced around, I forgot we had an audience. Seth and Paul had an amused look on their faces, probably amazed we knew how to do all those moves. Kim looked terrified and clung to Jared while he and Quil looked perplexed as to why we'd even fight one another. Sam and Emily looked concerned, I looked around; no damaged furniture just my body. I looked at Embry last, he was shaking and he looked like he was about to attack my sister.

I went straight to Embry ignoring Emily's answer and placed my hand on his shoulder.

"She does this for my benefit. Alex, Alexa wants me to be prepared if I'm ever attacked and nobody's there." He was about to speak but I cut him off "which happened before with Kevin" I let go of him.

"I am sorry if we scared you guys a little there. Alexa usually does that in PRIVATE!" I said glaring at Alexa

"Yeah, sorry I just saw that as a good time to strike, you were unaware of your situation George." Alexa said disappointed in me.

"Shut up" I told my sister.

I then looked at everyone else and started apologizing. "Kim don't worry I won't beat you up and Alexa won't touch you." I said chuckling; Kim looked at me and smiled.

"Emily I should have told you about the meat thing, it was my fault I attacked the toilet. Sam sorry for disturbing the peace you try to have in this house hold. My sister will NOT engage in such unnecessary force again on your premises unless of course it's in self-defense. Right Alexa."

"Yeah. Peace." Alexa said making a peace sign as she started leaving.

"I don't think you know the meaning of Peace" I replied tersely as we exited out the house. I'm pretty sure I heard chuckling as we walked down the steps but they couldn't have possibly heard what I told my sister.

"What's your problem?" I asked Alexa as we got inside the car.

"What do you mean my problem." She said buckling her seat belt and turning on the car.

"You attacked me in there and freaked them out." I yelled motioning with my hands.

"Oh please, they've seen fight before"

"Well they are probably not used to sisters fighting karate or whatever"

"I saw an opportunity for me to test you. You were distracted and injured. What happened to you anyway?"

"I got attacked by the door, which by the way I rather face a hundred times than you!" I replied not wanted to recount the dreadful embarrassing event.

"Sounds just like you." Alexa said smiling

Yeah, whatever…..

"What's the deal with mentioning the new people who joined?"

Alexa tensed but then masked her feelings by smiling

"Nothing really. I just think one of those guys likes you and I wanted to see how they would react."

"Well you got reaction, all the guys did was stare at Sam and then get closer to their girlfriends. And I thought you said you ate in the text."

"I did"

"Then why?"

"I just wanted to stay at her house a little while longer."

"Why?"

"Cuz I wanted to" Alexa replied exasperated

"You make not sense." I said looking at her

"It runs in the genes."

"Then you must be adopted." I retorted

We got home a couple of minutes later. I went upstairs to take a shower when I realized I was really hungry, I didn't actually eat a full meal except for breakfast that morning. Before I went downstairs I put on a long sleeved shirt, no need to cause excitement over my newly acquired bruises since my mom wasn't happy about Alexa's methods of teaching me self-defense. We ate spaghetti for dinner, which was amazing as usual.

I decided to go online though my sister offered for me to play boxing on the Wii with her of which I declined. Even though I wouldn't technically get punched physically, I still felt the pain "I" got punched on the screen.

I chatted online; my friends Katie and Jane said they were planning on going to Port Angeles to hang out and watch a movie and if I wanted to come I could ride with them. I didn't see why not, after all I was getting over the Kevin flashbacks.

"Mon can I go to Port Angeles with Janie and Katie!" I screamed hoping she would hear me wherever she was in the house.

"No screaming" my mom told me quietly as she entered the office/library room.

"May I go hang out with my friends at Port Angeles?" I asked looking at her in the face. Out of her three daughters, I looked the most like my mom. She had black curly hair, blue eyes like me, a heart shaped face and she was short just like me. The only difference was that she was pale, I got my skin color from my dad who was Hispanic while my mom was half Italian or something like that. She had European blood in her, that's all I knew for sure.

"Yes, just don't make any plans on Thanksgiving, I want us to be together as a family."

"No problema" I replied

"Who's driving?" my mom asked concerned, she read the statistics on dead teen drivers as did I.

"Katie"

"Oh, she's a safe driver" replied my mom.

Yeah when you see her I thought to myself. Katie could be a safe driver but she liked speed and was impatient with slow drivers who were in reality the law abiding 40 mph citizens.

"I'll leave some twenties on the counter and take your debit card" my mom said as she was leaving the room

"Are not you going to be here tomorrow?" I asked spinning on the chair to view her face.

"No, I'm going to be with some friends whom I haven't see in a while."

I nodded. In awhile? She saw her friends more often that I did. I chuckled to myself.

"Yeah ok" I turned around to face the computer.

We're on. What time do you want to leave? I typed on IM

10ish, I still want to sleep in Katie answered

that's good. I want to sleep in to

"Georgiana"

I looked up, I thought my mom had left.

"Be careful ok."

I looked at my mom, she was uneasy

"Yeah mom, always" I said as I stood up and went to hug her. She held me a bit longer than necessary but then abruptly left muttering that she had so many things to do.

"She's worried" I said out loud to the wall

"About time you realized that."

"Was I talking to you Alexa?" I asked slightly annoyed

"I hope you were or else we'll have to put you in an institution for talking to walls."

I rolled my eyes and went back to IMing my friends.

I went to bed early that night which I regretted the next morning. I spent the night tossing and turning remembering what happened that day. All those evens couldn't have possibly happened on one day. I made brownies, visited Emily, threw up, got smashed by a door, told my story, everyone found out about me being a veggie, almost threw up again and got attacked by my sister. The worst part was that I didn't know how I felt.

I remembered I left the plate in which I took the brownies at Emily's but I decided to let her keep it. I don't want to go to her house ever again since I probably offended her by being a vegetarian and if I didn't she probably feels bad which makes me feel worse. Then to complicate things I told everyone about my past, well only Emily and Kim but I basically told them if they wanted to tell someone they could.

I screamed in my pillow and threw a min tantrum. I was so stupid, if I only stayed home this morning nothing would have happened. I wouldn't be so confused about anything, but the thing that was harder to deal with was how I felt towards Embry. I stopped getting panic attacks and freaking out about his shaking when I realized that he didn't want to hurt me.

What was I thinking when I went to calm Embry after Alexa did her teaching lesson, if I was still freaked out I wouldn't have gone up to him. I would have run in the opposite direction; and when Emily and Kim asked me I realized I didn't know how I felt about Embry.

I punched the pillow again. I felt like running. I glanced at the clock, it was 10:45 p.m. I have like ten hours to sleep!

It was then I decided to sneak out of my house. I put on my tennis shoes, my glasses and hoodie since I was just wearing a shirt and sweat pants.

I made my bed look like it had a body in it though I knew the truth. I pocketed my sidekick and opened my balcony door, which I softly closed but double-checked to make sure it was open. I looked to make sure nobody was near or that they could hear me. My mom was sleeping and so was my dad that I knew. But where Alexa was I wasn't sure, she was probably doing something, but I was pretty sure that if she did come into my room she wouldn't tell my parents I stepped out. I mean she snuck out so many times I lost count, and I covered for her after making sure she wasn't doing anything illegal or course. I just hoped this wouldn't be the night she'd check on me because I wasn't that keen on explaining everything to her.

I went to the corner of my balcony and tried to remember how I'd gotten out last time.

I swung my leg over the railing and I made sure I had a good footing before doing the same with my leg. I held on to the balcony and moved closer to the wall trying to find the place where I could place my hands. I found the slot and then let myself swing. I found the windowsill and placed my foot on top of it, now would be the tricky part. I would have to search for a place where I could put my hands and then let my feet land on the bottom of the windowsill. I let go and I was in midair for about one or two second when my feet found the bottom of the windowsill while my hands desperately searched for the top of the windowsill. I felt myself falling backward when I thankfully felt something hard and cold, I quickly grasped it and waited for a couple of seconds to let my heart rate return to somewhat normal. I was still nervous since I was sneaking out. I looked down for the first time and saw that I wasn't to far from the ground I could jump.

I jumped and landed quietly against the soft grass. I walked swiftly and inaudibly to the porch and grabbed the flashlight in the garden box, which I had left there for just this purpose. I didn't turn it on since I could still see using the street light, but not that well.

I walked straight into the woods shivering slightly from the wind brushing against my body. I followed the path I had made before but stopped when I saw some broken branches and twisted bushes near a tree. I turned on the flashlight and kneeled down touching the scene, it looked like something sat there for a while. I stooped down in the position and realized that the thing had a full view of my house, particularly my balcony which led to my room.

I remembered the wolf I saw that night, impossible. Why would a wolf be staring at my house? I continued walking breaking branches so that I could find my way back. I felt like if somebody was watching but I shrugged off that feeling because I was pretty sure I was just paranoid.

I looked at my cell and realized had been walking for at least ten minutes. I should be getting closer.

I smiled as I saw the tree house I jogged to it. I'm sure if someone was watching me I looked like a little child who just found a chest full of his favorite candy. I had found the tree house on one of my other excursions and realized that somebody had built it a couple of years before.

I climbed the tree being careful not to scratch or bruise myself even more. I stood between the giant tree limbs and pulled down the rope ladder. I tugged on the rope ladder to make sure it was secure, I didn't wan tit to be loose and then fall because no one would know where I was at if I got too injured.

I mounted the ladder and started going up, I felt pain go through my arms. I was going to be so sore tomorrow; I'd better remember to stretch before I got to bed.

I pulled myself to the top and rolled to the side, I got up and went to the railing of the tree house and looked out. The tree house was open to the air and had a railing like a fence. I sat down at my favorite spot and gazed out.

The tree itself was pretty high and since our is house is located on a hill, the tree tops around the tree house were visible giving me a panoramic view of the forest. The view always took my breath away; I loved this spot, it was my hiding place. I doubted that my sister even knew its existence.

My legs soon grew tired in the Indian style so I put my legs over the edge and leaned against the pole. I got scared when I saw movement in the trees but I calmed myself and leaned against the railing closing my eyes.

I stayed at the tree house for a while, I finally pulled out my cell phone to see the time. It was 12:50. I knew I had to leave, if I didn't want to be tired in the morning.

I climbed down slowly, for me going down was the hardest part. I got down without a scratch but then I jumped from the tree and landed weirdly on my ankle. I cried out in pain and fell to the ground. That really hurt!

I sat down and checked my ankle grabbing the flashlight I left on the ground before climbing the tree. I massaged my ankle and slowly rotated my ankle to reduce the soreness. I stood up and tested my ankle to see if I could walk. My ankle still hurt but most of the pain went away.

I hurried home hoping nobody went to my room and realized that I wasn't really sleeping. I followed the trail I created home and saw that there weren't any police cruisers, so my parents either never discovered I was gone or they were just going to find and kill me themselves. I preferred the first scenario. I climbed up the house wall in a matter of seconds. It was always easier to climb up.

I pulled myself up to my balcony and quietly opened the door. I looked around, quickly took off my shoes, changed my clothes since I did walk in the forest and went to bed sleeping better than I had in a couple of days.

I realized at I drifted off to sleep that one I was over Kevin, two I could live my life and three Embry's perfect handsome tan curly haired face was stuck in my mind.

I woke up early on Sunday, well at 9:30 and rushed to get ready to leave. I showered put on my dark blue jeans, boots and long sleeve red shirt and took my burgundy-striped scarf. It was getting cold outside so I decided to wear my long black coat, contacts and let my wavy black hair fall to my lower back.

I ran downstairs carrying my scarf and coat when I heard the bell ring. I left my coat and scarf on the last railing of the stairs.

"Hey Katie!" I said happily. Once I woke up I was what people called a morning person even if I only got two hours of sleep.

"Hey George, sorry I came a little earlier, are you ready?"

"Well I just changed, could you wait I need to eat, I don't want to keel over and faint." I said smiling

"Yeah" Katie replied, terrified at the thought of me fainting.

"I'm just kidding. Tell Jane to come in too, no need to wait in the car."

Katie waved Jane to come inside the house and they joined me in the kitchen.

"George I can never get over your house, it's amazing!" Jane exclaimed as we walked to the kitchen.

"Uh, thanks." I answered sheepishly, the truth was this house wasn't as big or beautiful as our house in Tennessee. Our house in Forks would look like a shack compared to our old house, but the only house that was suitable for us was the present one unless we built another house. In Forks, we had a nice house though the Cullens and Masons still stopped most of the houses in and out of town.

"How many bedrooms do you have?" Jane asked admiring the artwork covering our differently painted walls. I loved the variety of colors; it added life to the otherwise dismal weather.

"Seven" I said as I poured myself oatmeal that my mom had made into a bowl. I grabbed my spoon and sat on the stool facing the counter.

"I just love your house!" Jane said as she sat down as well.

"We know Jane. You say that every time you come." Katie replied rolling her eyes and laughing.

"Did you guys want something?" I asked as I ate my oatmeal, I loved it though Alexa hated it.

"Nah, I ate already" responded Katie

"Yeah I'm good thanks George." Added Jane

"Hey guys!" Alexa said as she came in.

"Hey mom made oatmeal" I told her showing Alexa my almost empty bowl.

Alexa wrinkled her nose, "No thanks"

"Are you doing something today?" I asked hopping off the stool and putting my bowl and spoon in the sink

"Just running and stuff. I might hang out with my friends later."

"Ok"

I grabbed the money my mom left on the table marked George.

"Hey guys I'm going upstairs to brush my teeth and grab my purse. I'll be right back." I said as I walked toward the stairs next to the kitchen.

I went to my room and went into the bathroom that joined Aria's and my room together. I didn't mind sharing a bathroom since it had two sinks on a big counter and since Aria was gone at college it was basically my own bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and grabbed my purse stuffing my money in my wallet and then I grabbed my sidekick from my nightstand. As I went downstairs I made sure I had my keys to my house, I didn't want to be locked out of my own house.

I went downstairs using the main stairs; I ran my hands against the wooden stairs. I loved the way it felt and it was one of the things that attracted my family to this house. My dad's ancestors were carpenters so he grew up appreciating woodwork and he tried to have as many hand crafted wooden artifacts in our house as possible.

"They went to the car as soon as they heard you stampeding down the stairs." Alexa said biting into an apple as leaned against the staircase.

"Thanks" I said with an annoyed voice "Be careful" I yelled at her once she started walking away.

"Sure mom" she replied

I walked outside the house putting on my coat and carrying my scarf I had grabbed as I came downstairs. I closed the door as I walked past the porch and got inside the back of Katie's car buckling my seat beat.

"It's cold" I said as my teeth started chattering and I rubbed my hands together.

"You're always cold" Katie replied as she drove out of my long curved driveway.

"Yeah I am." I replied laughing.

We arrived at Port Angeles and decided to walk around until it was time to watch the movie in the movie theater. I enjoyed the chick flick though I always got a headache from being inside the theater.

We went to the shopping center and went from store to store trying on random and crazy outfits and also uncomfortable unreasonable shoes. In the end I was coerced into buying a shirt that accented my "features", jeans that fit me perfectly which is hard since I'm so short and brown-heeled boots, I can never have enough boots.

We finally decided after fours hours that we needed a break and we went to a sit down restaurant. We ordered our food and drinks and ate appetizers as we waited for our food.

"So George we've been wondering about the parking lot standoff thing" Jane started

"A standoff?" I asked chuckling "Is that what you guys are calling it."

"Well actually-" Jane started but was interrupted by Katie

"Don't change the subject George." Katie said sternly as she leaned forward "I know you!" she continued pointing a finger at me.

"We just want to know what's up George" Jane said glaring at Katie in a friendly gesture

"Like what's the hot hunk's name."

I was surprised, I knew Embry was cute but I never thought about him as "hot."

"His name's Embry, he's from La Push." I stopped "You think he's hot?" I asked bewildered.

"Let's put it this way honey, Rachel has dibs on him after it looked like you said no." Katie responded

"Oh"

Rachel called dibs on Embry?

"And she's kind of annoyed how Adam did that whole face thing at her during class. You aren't exactly her favorite girl George." Jane added

"Whatever." I replied nonchalant

"So you don't care if she goes after Adam?" Katie prodded

"Adam's free, we're just friends." I replied

"Though it sometimes doesn't look that way." Jane added looking at me "you guys like connect, it's like you guys are going out. I like Adam with you better than Embry."

"Yeah, but it's not like that" I replied

"So what about Embry?" Katie asked changing the subject.

I blushed slightly at Embry's name. I was actually starting to think more about him as Kevin disappeared from my thoughts, and when I replayed Embry's face and body in my mind I had to admit he was hot. I even sometimes wondered what would have happened if I had said yes to Embry's request for a date.

Katie and Jane saw my hesitation and the slight blush didn't pass their very perceptive eyes.

"You like him!" they both gushed jumping up and down the booth.

"I didn't say that" I quickly replied

"Honey that face says it all." Katie replied grinning wickedly

"Yup I agree with Katie, George"

"Thanks Jane"

"No prob" Jane replied slipping the soda the waiter brought.

I noticed the waiter loitering longer than necessary at our table. I leaned in whispering so that only Jane and Katie could hear me.

"That waiter keeps on looking at us" I said mischievously "which one of us" I said pointing my hand at each of us "is he interested in."

I glanced at Katie. She had a round face with white skin, dark blue vivid eyes and dirty blonde hair. She was always smiling which made her seem bubbly and full of life.

Jane though not as gorgeous as Katie still had her own beauty. She had curly red hair, which wrapped around her oval face that was pale and lightly sprinkled with freckles mostly around her green eyes and the bridge of her nose.

It turned out to be Jane the waiter named Avery complimented on for her red hair and gave her extra chocolate mints we left the restaurant. We laughed at how the cute but awkward moving waiter tried to make conversation with Jane who became nervous as he was directing his attention on her. Katie and I seeing the conversation dwindling picked it up and learned enough things about Avery that when he gave Jane his number we followed the ritual used by many women all over the world and dumped the number in the trash.

I was tired by the time I got home, but it was a happy tired. I wished my friends a Happy Thanksgiving and went inside my house taking my bags with me.

"Georgi!" exclaimed Alexa as I walked into the house.

"Do you want to go hiking with me tomorrow and Adam?" Alexa asked covering her cell phone as she spoke.

I left my bags fall, I had planned on resting tomorrow! I was tired, but I enjoyed hiking and Adam was going.

"Sure why not." I replied trucking up the stairs with my bags

"Yes she's coming…." Alexa said as she walked away talking to Adam

I changed into more comfortable clothes; sweats and a shirt I went downstairs in my slippers. I found Alexa in the office typing frantically on the computer.

"So what brought out the hiking?" I asked swirling in the chair

"We've been wanting to hike and I told Adam that and he said tomorrow would be a good day to hike."

"Ok. where's mom and dad, I saw only mom's car."

"They went on their date tonight."

Even though my parents were so different and I don't know how they got together they loved each other very much so they would try to set out a time that they could spend together.

"Hmm. What time are we hiking?"

"Well it's the all day thing so we're leaving at seven then coming home at around either five or six. Unless of course you take super long."

All day? I reeled at her words, I would have to sleep early if I wanted to hike all day tomorrow.

"I'm going to sleep."

"Good. You're eyes have been starting to close and that's not good."

I went to my room got my clothes and took a hot refreshing shower. When I came out I checked my bruises. The bruises from the door accident were starting to disappear but only the minor ones, not the one from the doorknob. I got some new scratches and bruises from climbing the tree house when I snuck out but nothing that hurt too much.

I put on my sleeping clothes, set my alarm clock at 6:00 am and then drifted off to sleep faster than any other night.

I woke up with the alarm clock ringing annoyingly at my ear. I shut it off and rolled to the other side. I was still exhausted. I must have fallen asleep again because I woke up startled; it was now 6:30 am.

I jumped out of bed and grabbed my cargo army pants, socks, a thin black long-sleeved shirt and a dark green t-shirt. I hurriedly dressed, washed my face and made tow French braids with my hair. I grabbed my purse and quickly grabbed my hiking jacket and boots that I had had specifically for this occasion.

I ran downstairs using the back stairs to the kitchen when I heard the voices.

"Hey Adam, Alexa" I replied cheerfully putting on my boots as I sat on the floor.

"Hey sleepyhead" replied Adam looking up from Alexa's side. They were making sandwiches for our lunch on the island in the kitchen.

"Did you already pack the snacks and juice?" I asked Alexa

"Yup while you were sleeping" she said pretending to be angry

"Mom and dad know we're leaving right."

Alexa looked at me as if I was stupid.

"Just asking" I replied raising my hands into the air

"Eat breakfast George" Adam said after I finished tying my boots.

I saluted him and went to the refrigerator looking at my choices.

I made myself a pj, ate cereal with soy milk and a banana.

I glanced at the bananas. Alexa replied before I could even ask my question

"Yes, we put extra bananas for you."

"Thanks" I responded grateful

I always needed bananas. They helped lessen the cramping I got when I exercised for a long period of time.

The food was packed away in the hiking backpack by the time I finished eating.

"Ready?" Adam asked

"Let me just brush my teeth" I replied taking the stairs two by two.

"Yeah me too" Alexa said as she ran to the main stairs.

By the time I got to my room I looked for Alexa.

"Slowpoke!" Alexa replied with a toothbrush in her hand

I glared at Alexa

"Show off!"

We finished brushing our teeth and headed downstairs. I grabbed my purse, cell phone, jacket and went outside. Adam had already loaded the backpack so we headed out.

"Shotgun!" Alexa cried out as she ran to Adam's car.

"Don't even try" I retorted "Adam loves me more and I love Adam more than you so we get the privilege of sitting together in the front so out!"

I jerked my thumb to the outside, Alexa peered at me then jumped down.

"Fine. If you can get in the car." She replied laughing

"Alexa! I'm being nice by even coming!" I yelled angrily but then I felt myself being lifted and I landed on the seat. The cold hands against my waist told me it was Adam.

"Thanks Adam" I leaned in and gave him a hug, which he received. I noticed I could not reach him even when I was sitting down in the jeep. His 6'5" tallness!

"At least somebody is nice to me" I yelled looking Alexa but she already listening to music on her I-phone and when she saw me glaring at her she put her hands to ears and mouthed "Did you say something?"

I turned around before I broker her phone.

"I hate the day they got her that I-phone." I muttered

Adam laughed at me and started heading towards the hiking trail.

I always felt so big in the jeep we used for hiking. Instead of using his convertible Adam's dad got him a big enormous jeep that was made for hard terrain when he found out that we all liked hiking.

"Did you guys enjoy camping?" I asked looking at Adam

"Yeah we had a nice time"

"So how did Alexa convince you to come, I mean you were camping you think you would get tired of camping"

"Exactly, camping not hiking." He replied smiling

We stopped at a red light and Adam looked at me, gazing at my face.

"You look tired"

"Of course I look tired" I exclaimed, "We are going hiking at 7 am during vacation!"

"You know what I mean"

"I'm fine"

I had taken off my jacket inside the jeep because Adam had put on the heat. I was getting warmer so I pulled up my sleeves forgetting about my cuts and bruises.

I glanced outside at the scenery, my heart accelerating we were no longer stopped at the red light.

"You're going fast" I complained clutching my seat.

Adam glanced down and saw the bruises.

"What did you do? hit your arms against concrete?" he asked as he lifted my left arm gently rubbing his cold hands on my purple bruises.

"It feels like it but it's better, I got slammed between the door and a wall."

"Where?"

"I went to Emily's house"

Adam's hands tensed, he pressured my arm.

"Adam"

"Yeah"

"Your hand"

"Oh sorry" Adam let go and held the steering wheel tightly

"What happened exactly."

I then went on to explain everything that happened. That's why I enjoyed having Adam as my friend, I could tell him anything, though I didn't give him all the details. For instance I didn't tell him about my confused feeling for Embry and that I snuck out at night to go into the woods. I made the mistake of telling him another time and he said it wasn't safe to go out in the woods. I was then made to promise him I would go into the wood with somebody else and a cell phone. Which I followed through with, but only the cell phone part. I did remark however about Paul's scar and he nodded and even looked happy, maybe he thought nature revenged for me after I got shoved into the wall.

We arrived at our hiking destination and unloaded from the car. I climbed down slowly and then jumped to the ground.

"Ow!" I said but quickly clapped my hand over my mouth. I landed on the ankle that I had hurt that night I snuck out. Man and we were about to hike for like ten miles up and down a little mountain thing, just my luck.

"I would have helped you get down." Adam said looking at my leg.

I closed the door and rotated my ankle trying to assess the damage. It wasn't too bad, it just hurt because I landed on it harder than usual.

"No, I'm ok." I replied twirling around like a ballerina "See" I said raising my eyebrows.

Adam just stopped me and was about to pick me up

"Wait!" I said putting my hands up. "Can you get me my purse?"

"Why?" Adam asked opening the door as I moved to the side as Adam grabbed my bag.

"I need my wallet and cell phone."

Adam just laughed and handed me my purse. I always carried my wallet because just incase something were to happen, I'd need my id and my cell phone. The only way my mom allowed us to hike was if we carried our cell phones to use for emergencies, even thought we barely had any service when we hiked. Not that we needed it, we never encountered even a squirrel when we went hiking, it was as if the animals ran away.

"Thank you" I handed my purse back after I took out my wallet and cell phone which I put in of the many pockets I had in my pants.

"Here you'll need your jacket too." Adam said handing me my jacket.

I shivered it was pretty cool. I pulled down my sleeves and put on my jacket "Let's go."

I slightly limped to the back of the jeep, not good. I leaned against the jeep again and stretched my ankle.

"Here Adam, take the backpack." Alexa said throwing it to Adam.

When we first went hiking Alexa carried the backpack even though Adam insisted that he carry it. Alexa gave up after a mile and just let Adam take it. He said he didn't mind the weight; I on the other hand would drop in pain if I had to carry the backpack.

We started out to our usual no trail path. We went on the designated trail before, but by the time we reached the view we didn't like it. So Adam led us to another path, which he made, to the top of a cliff and we loved the view.

By the time we made it to the top of the cliff I was fatigued. I had fallen behind and I was ecstatic when we reached the top. Alexa took out the food and we sat down and ate.

I was so hungry I ate two sandwiches, a banana and an energy bar. I figured if I had to I might as well wake myself up with some extra energy and adrenaline to go back down.

I walked to the edge of the cliff and sat down letting my legs dangle a couple of hundreds of feet above ground. I looked around, the trees were so beautiful, birds were flying and I could even see a creek. I leaned forward and was startled by a growl. I jumped up almost falling over but Adam held me back and sat down next to me.

"What was that?" I asked a little scared. I didn't want to be attacked by an animal in the forest.

"Just some animal, don't worry George it won't come near us." Adam replied a little loudly.

I peered at him and leaned in resting my head on his shoulder, more like his arm. Even when we were sitting Adam was taller than me.

Adam kissed my head and turned backwards, I assume he was looking at Alexa.

"Ok lovebirds, don't do too much. I am innocent after all." Alexa teased sarcastically.

"Shut up" I replied with my eyes closed, I was sleepy.

I think I fell asleep, but I'm not sure for how long. I just woke up still leaning against Adam and hearing Alexa say that we should leave. It sounded like she mumbled something about wolves, but I couldn't comprehend what she said. I sat up and yawned.

"Is there a way that I could roll down this cliff instead of walking." I asked getting up and wiping my pants.

Alexa just looked at me and got the backpack.

"If you're so tired why didn't you tell me we could have gone tomorrow or some other day."

"Says the girl who begged me and just happens to tower over me and has bigger muscles than some guys."

Adam just laughed as he put on the backpack and waited for Alexa to go down first. I went in the middle and Adam last.

Going down was a little faster and easier. Well for Adam and Alexa. The first hour was fine but then my vision started blurring and I saw two tree trunks instead of one. But I kept up, I figured the sooner we get to the jeep the sooner I could do some shuteye.

I think I missed a step or moved to fast when I closed my eyes temporarily because the next thing I knew after stepping on a big rock was that I was falling forwards and it wasn't good that my reflexes were extremely slower than normal.

I saw the ground coming closer, I could see an ant, some moss, leaves and worst of all a sharp rock waiting to pierce my skull.

A/N: Love it, hate it...tell me :) I need some happy moments right now...you know school started...talk about depressing
