NOLA POV"

I really loved the fact that werewolves recover quickly from injuries. Because even after the huge slushy Embry had gotten me, I had a sore mouth and a slightly bad attitude. The stupid metal was messing with my head.

"Bonfire tonight," he told me as we pulled up into my driveway. "Can I pick you up at 7?"

I nodded, clutching my big slushy cup. "Yeah, that would be great. See you then." I gave him a kiss and hopped out of the car, skipping into the house.

"Let me see them," Mom said as I walked in. I opened my mouth and she smiled. "You look beautiful."

"Yeah, well who ever heard of a werewolf getting braces," I chuckled and then stopped dead. Oh no, Mom wasn't supposed to know! She would freak out. I glanced across the kitchen to see her glaring at me.

"When did you phase, Nola?"

"About two weeks ago," I murmured in a sad voice.

"Why?"

"Because the vampire who killed Daddy attacked me."

She took a shaky breath and said, "Get out."

My heart all but stopped. She told me to get out. Of what? Her house, her life?

"What Mom?" I almost screamed.

"I can't handle you being a blasted dog!" she screamed. "Nola, I will not live in the same house as you when you can phase in the middle of the night and kill someone!"

"MOM!" I yelled. "I have self control! I'm not going to kill anyone!"

"I'm leaving," she said randomly. "I am leaving, so you better take the things you want and find somewhere else to live, because you're not coming with me."

"Mom no!" I screamed, terrified. Where would I go? What would I do?

"Go pack now!" she ordered. "You've got an hour, monster!"

1 hour later…

I and my 11 boxes sat on the front lawn while Mom packed all of her stuff up and put it in the back of a U haul. She left me sitting there on the grass, sobbing hysterically at 2 am while she drove away. I didn't want to move. I just wanted to lay there on the front lawn and die. My mom had left me. My dad was gone.

"Nola?" I looked up. Quinn dressed in her fuzzy jammie pants, a cami, and a robe was running across the grass to me, looking terrified. "Nola, what are you doing? What's wrong?"

I looked at her for all of 2 seconds before hugging her and sobbing harder. I managed to get a garbled reply to her, and she hugged me tighter, saying that it was okay and she would fix it. God, I loved my sister.

I don't know how, but Paul, Embry, and Brady showed up and took all my boxes into Quinn and Tori's house while I just sat there with Quinn, still in partial shock. As soon as Embry came out, Quinn excused herself and ran inside.

He knelt down, taking my face in his hands. "Don't cry, Nola. Don't cry. I'm here."

"She left me!" I whimpered. "She called me a monster, Embry!"

He sighed and wrapped me up into his arms, rocking me back and forth before lifting me up and carrying me inside. "You are not a monster. You are the farthest thing from a monster, honey. I can assure you of that?"

"Then why did she leave?" I asked as he sat me down on the couch. Paul walked by and gave me a sympathetic look. I gave a half smile but it was forced.

"I think she's trying to get over the fact that your dad was a wolf and that he was killed," he said gently. "And she's terrified for your life, as well as her own."

"So what do I do now?" I whispered. My heart was broken, and I had no home.

"Emily and Sam have an open room if you want it."

At 9, Embry drove me and my stuff over to the Uley house where Emily met me with open arms and a big smile. "It's so good to see you Nola!" she cried. "I'm so glad you'll be staying with us!"

Her 11 year old twins, Cole and Carly ran out screaming. "Nola!" Carly cried, flinging herself at me. Collin had imprinted on Carly shortly after she was born, and Leah had imprinted on Cole. Sam had been furious, but he knew the power of imprinting, so he just had to stand back and watch. Poor, poor Sam…

"Thank you Emily," I said as Embry and Sam took my stuff inside. "Hey Carly, Cole. Is Leah inside?"

"Yeah," Cole said as another car pulled up and beeped. "Carly and I are going to our friend's house. See ya!" And off they went.

I smiled as I went inside and Leah stood up. We had become good friends in the past year or so, and I trusted her with a lot. "Hey Leah," I said giving her a hug. She was still bigger than me. "It's good to see you. Cole looks good, doesn't he?"

She nudged me and we both laughed. She's become much more open since she imprinted, thank God. "Come on, let's go upstairs."

Quinn (before the episode with Nola)

"Paul, I'm going to beat the crap out of you!" I screamed as he dragged me into the Cullen house. A HUGE guy had opened the door, a pretty blonde girl behind him. That scared me enough.

"!" Paul shouted and a man with blonde hair and freakishly pale skin ran down the stairs, holding a medical bag. "This is Quinn. She broke her hand when she hit me."

I noticed Jake in the living room, Renesmee on his lap. Renesmee's parents, Bella and Edward, were sitting across from them. When Bella heard Paul, she and Jacob started to laugh hysterically. I didn't even want to know.

"Bring her to the living room," Carlisle instructed.

Turns out, my hand wasn't broken. Just a cracked knuckle, so Carlisle gave me a brace. Bella and Jake kept snickering, but I didn't ask. It was probably a scary story that I didn't want to get involved in.

On the way back to La Push, I kept giving Paul dirty looks till he started to laugh, which made me laugh. I couldn't stay mad at him! He was my imprint for the love of God. So we just kept on driving.

Nola POV:

The next morning, when I went downstairs, Emily was on the phone. "Yes, I see. Yes. Okay." She looked at me. "Um, er, hold on a minute please." She put her hand over the receiver. "Nola, it's your mom. She wants to speak with you."
