Hey all!
This story is coming along nicely at least I think so!
But that's just me!
ENJOY AND LOVE IT!
TORI ELAINE!
If you only knew the pain
The pain I keep inside
The pain that makes me "me"
Then without it who am I?
In a room with broken walls
I lay in scene and dreams
I want you to see
When Masen brought the car to a stop I couldn't get out of the car, I just sat there and stared at my dad. Who was looking right at me, but made no move towards me. I just wanted to jump out of the car and run into his arms. But I was frozen to the seat like someone had taped me there or something.
"Aya? What's wrong?" Masen asked me sounding really worried.
"I know that guy." I said pointing at my father.
"Really? I've never seen him before. Who is he?" I knew I couldn't tell him that my dad was my dad, for the fact that my dad looked my age so I said the best thing that I could.
"My brother."
"Really?"
"Yah. Hold on I'm going to go see what he wants, he's supposed to be at home."
I jumped out of the car and ran towards my father as fast as I could at human rate. When I got in front of my father we stared at each other before he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me to him.
"Oh Aya, I shouldn't have let your mother do that to you. It was all a mistake."
"No it's a mistake for you to be here Daddy, go back home to mom."
"Aya me and your mom…"
"Are having troubles that's all. You love mom."
"Yes I do love your mother, but she's changed so much honey. And I just can't take it anymore."
"Are you ever going to go back to her?"
"I don't know, I really don't know."
"But if you guys don't make it, there is no reason for me to believe in love…"
He looked at me in shock, he began to shake his head, and hugged me to him again. I started to cry because I really believed if that my parents could fall out of love after all they have been through together then there was no hope for the rest of us.
"Aya don't stop believing in love just because of us. Me and your mother had nothing to do with your love life."
"Daddy…"
"I just have to get my head together and then maybe I'll go back."
"Promise?"
"Aya…"
"Promise Daddy?"
"Yes I promise."
"Thank you…"
"Anything for my baby girl. Happy Birthday by the way I'm sorry you don't get to spend it with your family."
"OH I think Uncle Luc is coming to see me tonight and I got Masen over there." I pointed over my shoulder and Dad looked at Masen with a serious eye. I turned around and waved at Masen, he waved back.
"Who does he think I am Aya?"
"My brother who isn't supposed to be here."
"Oh dear…"
"Yeah."
"What are you doing here?"
"Signing up for school!"
"How are you going to do that without a parent?"
"Oh…I didn't think about that."
"Yah I didn't think you did when I saw you pull up."
"Wait you didn't know I was coming here? Then what were you doing here?"
"I thought I would come back to where it all started with me and your mother…"
"Oh. Yah I read her book. You made fun of her your first day here."
He smiled and nodded remembering my mother and his old days. He turned back to me and gave me a soft kiss on the forehead.
"I'm going to go. I don't think this was the best idea after all. Memories hurt, especially the old ones of your mother. She was such a great girl Aya,,,"
"She can change. I bet she is right now because she misses you so much, you really shouldn't have left her."
"She really shouldn't have kicked you out of your own home and I shouldn't have stood there and let that happen."
"Daddy she just gave me what I wanted and in a different way that's all. I'm fine with it." I smiled to show him that I meant it.
He said that he had to go and walked away from me after giving me another hug. I watched him get into a red sports car and drive off down the road. I watched until I couldn't see his car anymore. I wiped off the tears on my cheeks and walked back to Masen who was waiting for me in the same spot where I left him.
"Everything okay?" he asked putting his arm around my shoulders.
"Yah, he is just doing some across country traveling before going home, he got in fight with our mother too."
"Where are you from?"
"England."
"Really? No accent."
"My parents were American."
He stopped before we got to the doors and made me turn towards him. He had a serious look on his face, I didn't know what had made him change his mood so suddenly. Then I knew when he brought his hand up to my face and gently touched my bruised cheek. I winced, I had forgot all about the bruises that Isabel had given me.
"Did your mother do that you? I know someone did because it's the perfect shape of a handprint."
"No it wasn't my mother, someone else was mad at me before I left." I looked down at my feet afraid to look into his eyes, I was crying again.
"Oh Aya, I'm sorry if I upset you."
He pulled me towards him and gave me a strong hug, I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back. It was a good hug that gave me some hope, I knew that as long as I had Masen as a friend that I would be okay.
"Come on lets get you signed up for High School."
"Okay."
We pulled away just keeping our arms around each other started walking towards the doors.
2 HOURS LATERMasen was taking me through the drive thru at the local McDonalds and was talking about taking me out for a movie since it was my birthday. He made me laugh and smile a lot, which was good for me, I didn't feel the absence of my family and friends for the first time since I left home.
"So then Aya what movie would you like to see?"
"That new scary movie!"
"About the vampires taking over the world?"
"That would be the one."
"Alright then! I'll pick you up at 8."
"Okay can't wait."
I opened the door to his truck and looked at the long way down to the driveway. I heard Masen laugh behind me, he knew what I was looking at. I turned and glared at him, he just laughed harder. I smiled and shook my head. I had one leg out of the door before I turned back and gently kissed Masen on the cheek. I quickly jumped out of the truck and ran to the front door.
I waved at Masen who was looking at me with a little bit of shock, he finally waved back and
pulled out of the driveway. That was weird, he acted like no other girl has ever kissed him before. Huh. I let myself into the house and went straight to the living room, I sat down my bag of food before going up stairs and getting the lap top. I typed in the password when the sign in finally popped up, but I realized that I didn't want to use my mother's name any more.
I spent the next half hour making my own account on the computer and getting rid of some of my mother old things she wouldn't need anymore. I put the pictures of her and my dad on blank cds and set them down gently on the table so that I could remember to put them somewhere safe later.
After I was finished with the lap top I sat there and thought about what I was going to wear for the first day of school, when I heard something weird coming from the kitchen.
"Is she home?"
"I don't know…"
I tipped toed around the corner and peeked into the kitchen. What I saw had me screaming out in joy, I ran into Embry's waiting arms and hugged him as tight as I could. I was so happy to see one of my old friends again that I didn't even notice Leofrick standing there. Embry sat me down and I looked over at Leofrick and was scared.
"Don't worry Aya, Leofrick isn't mad at you anymore." Embry said from behind me.
"Is that true Leofrick?" I asked.
"Yes I'm not mad. Why else would I bring Embry here?" he said with a smile playing out on his lips. I laughed and hugged him tight.
"Thank you Leo, I missed my friends so much. Is he staying?"
"Yes he is. But I got to get back and act like I know nothing about his whereabouts."
"Alright."
Leofrick left and I gave Embry the big tour of the house. He was staying in Uncle Luc's room, we went down to the basement and I began to ask Embry questions about back home.
"How is Aunt Ruby?"
"She is okay, a little upset about your mother, they aren't on good terms right now. Ruby won't even talk to the Queen."
"Stacie and Edward?"
"Well…they aren't doing so good either. Stacie is getting on Edward's nerves and Edward is getting on Stacie's nerves. They can hardly stand to be around each other right now for more than a few minutes."
"Isabel and Hadrian?"
"They are going good actually, besides Edward not talking to them. That is the only bad thing right now."
"Your mom and dad?"
"Mom is pregnant, but she doesn't think we know. Dad has been busy trying to find your dad and everything. I don't see much of them I'm always with Quil." My heart sped up at the sound of his name, Embry having heard it smiled at me. "You miss him?"
"More than anything. That's why I was happy to see you, besides missing you, you look a lot like Quil."
"Well don't go falling in love with me! Quil will never forgive!" I started laughing, clutching my stomach because it was giving me pains from laughing so much. "THAT'S NOT FUNNY! I'M SERIOUS!"
"Oh Embry!" I said as my laughs stopped little by little. "I'm not going to fall in love with you. Your so not my type."
"My brother is?"
"I don't know. But we are going to find out. But you need to call my Uncle and tell him that I know where my father is. I just remember when you brought him up."
"You know where he is?"
"Yah I saw him today!"
His mouth dropped open and his eyes got wide with shock. I didn't get it a first, then I got it. My father was out of the Kingdom, which wasn't allowed unless you like me got kicked out or you had special permission from the Queen.
"What is he doing here?"
"Thinking about my mother."
He nodded his head and held out his hand for my phone, I gave it to him my fingers slightly brushing his as I handed it to him. He pretended not to notice as he stared at the phone with a confused look on his face.
"What is this?"
"OH! I forgot you don't know anything!"
"HEY!"
"I mean about the states, hold on I want to try something."
I got up on my knees and crawled closer to him on the couch. I placed both of my hands on each side of his face and closed my eyes. Soon I was seeing everything I saw when I got my power and everything I've seen while here. I let everything go into Embry's brain so that he was informed as well.
I pulled away and opened my eyes. Embry was rubbing his head with a pained expression on his face.
"OH! Did I hurt you?" I asked grabbing his hand, ignoring the weird feeling I got when I did. Its just because he looks like Quil and I need Quil right now….yah that's it.
"A little not so much, just a little like pinging and ringing in my ears. BUT THAT WAS SO COOL! I WANT TO PLAY HALO!"
I laughed and started the x-box 360. We played forever, I still didn't get it how Embry could beat me as much as he did for just moving here and just starting the game. Our legs were pressed together and I was having a hard time telling myself it was just because he was Quil's twin brother. Embry made no move to move, so I didn't either. After awhile we turned off the x-box and just sat on the couch together.
"This is weird Aya. Sorry, but I have to say it." He moved slightly and so did, there was now 2 inches of space between us.
"Sorry…"
"No it's not your fault. I mean you're my best friend and the girl that my brother loves, I shouldn't be feeling what I feel, so I'm just going to go to bed."
He got up and went upstairs. I didn't say anything, I could hear him get ready for bed and then as he crawled into the bed. His snores soon reached my ears, I flopped myself on to the couch and sat there.
Why is this so weird? I mean he looks like Quil, maybe that's why. I don't like or love Embry, that would be just weird. I love Quil, some way. I just need to see him or something…or I could just ask Uncle Luc to let me talk to him. That could be a good idea, but he probably doesn't know where his brother is, I highly doubt Leofrick told anyone.
I sat up and reached for my phone. I dialed my uncle's number before I could think twice of it. He picked up on the 3rd ring.
"Yes Aya?" I was starting to wish I didn't call.
"Can I talk to Quil? Please?"
"Are you sure that's a smart idea? Everyone is looking for Embry you know, I know you know because I know he's there."
"Who Embry? Why would he be here and not there?"
"Aya…"
"Uncle Luc…"
"I'm not going to tell anyone if that's what you think. I think it's a good idea to bring them all over there one at time, separate from one another."
"Okay. Well Embry has your room. Can I talk to Quil now?"
"Hold on."
I waited and listened. The air I heard rushing by the phone told me that he was running to Quil's room. I heard him knock and walk into the room. When I heard Quil's voice and heard him say that he wanted to talk to me I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought he was going to say no. Uncle Luc said he would be back in the morning for the phone and told Quil just to make sure he hid it well.
"Aya?"
"Hey Quills."
"Oh wow it is you."
"The one and only."
It was silent for awhile.
"Are you happy?" he asked in a small voice.
"No. I told you I regret what happened and I really wish you were here!"
"Just me or everyone?"
"You and everyone, but I really want to see you right now."
"Just now?"
"Quil didn't you read my letter?"
"Yah I did…"
"Then you know how I feel right now! So why are you acting like you don't?"
"Because people can lie in letters, I've read your stories Aya, you have a creative mind."
"So you think I lied to you?" I couldn't help it, but I was crying and you could tell through my voice.
"I don't know…but I do know that I hate when you cry, I don't even have to see you do it, it hurts."
"Does it hurt more to know that you're the one to make me cry? You have never doubted anything I said before Quil."
"Yah it does and I'm sorry. I just can't help how I feel, plus my brother is gone and I have a strange feeling that he is there with you."
"I don't ever want you to feel that I'm lying to you Quil. I called because I had to hear your voice, I called because I missed you and I needed to know that you miss me too."
"I do Aya, but it hurts that you can forget about me so quickly!"
"I DIDN'T FORGET ABOUT YOU!"
"YOU HAD SEX WITH SOME RANDOM GUY!"
"I TOLD YOU I REGRETTED IT QUIL! DON'T MAKE ME REGRET CALLING YOU!"
"I'M ALREADY REGRETTING ACTUALLY AGREEING TO TALK TO YOU!" My heart stopped in my chest and went cold. Did he really mean that?
"Do you really mean that?"
"Yes I do."
"Alright, well then I let you go and never bother calling you again."
I clicked the phone shut and threw it across the room. It hit the wall hard and burst into pieces. I laid back down on the couch and cried out in loud sobs. I didn't hear anyone come down the stairs, but I felt it when Embry wrapped his arms around me and hugged me to my chest.
"I'm…sorry…I…woke…you!" I said between sobs, I clung closer to him until I noticed he had no shirt on.
"Aya…what did he say to you."
"Everything he could…"
"I'm so sorry."
We sat there for awhile, me crying into Embry's chest, him holding me and telling me everything was going to be okay. And I began to believe him, until Marcus walked in…
I'm cold and whiteI'm holding on
I'll try to breath for you
I'm crying out
I'm singing loud
You could be all I need
To save me from me
