I hate writing these slow chapters because it builds up to something else, ugh -.- I just want to be at the build up part already -_-
A pebble in the water,
makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world,
will bear a consequence
(Hope's POV)
I awkwardly twisted my hands behind my back as Sam and Josh talked, I don't know why he wanted me with him - I already know I don't want to be here. I'd rather be with Embry, doing something fun.
"Embry is my half brother?" Sam asked, his thick brows coming together. "Hope's half uncle?"
My chest tightened, God I didn't like that word. Uncle, it sent chills up my spin; in a bad way. It didn't fit, It made me physically sick.
"I'm not . . . "
"You mean you don't know?" Sam's voice rose, and vibrated off the small living room's walls.
I let my head fall into my hands, God when did he not get angry?
"So, where's this woman that's better than mom to make you leave us?" Sam suddenly asked, I flinched at the tone of his voice; it was like acid.
"She's out at the market."
Sam breathed loudly through his nose, his fists clenched as he sat back down.
"Don't phase, son."
Sam snarled, my head snapped up again to see him shaking violently.
"Sam!" I shouted, getting up off the chair and nearly throwing him out of the way of my grandfather. Sam exploded, right through the wall. He growled, his hackles raised and his teeth bared.
"Sam," I breathed heavily. "just calm the fuck down."
He let out a loud angry snarl, before jumping towards me. My eyes went bug-eyed, fear coursed though my veins.
The collision of Sam's massive body hitting mine sent us through the glass coffee table, and out a small window. I screamed in pain when we hit the ground. Hundreds of big and small shards of glass and wood pierced into my skin all over my body. I let out a cry of pain again and closed my eyes tightly.
I whimpered over and over again, trying not to move; keeping the shards from going deeper into my body.
"Hope, Hope can you hear me?" Sam's voice asked, he sounded distant.
"Get away from me!" I shrieked, my voice hoarse.
Sam listened, leaving me alone to bear through the pain. I forced my eyes open and examined my body, I took a shaky breath as I began to pull glass and wood out of my skin. Crying in pain every time. Not long after I began to feel exhausted, I closed my eyes and fell into darkness . . .
oOoOo
I let out a breathy groan, and rubbed my face. God, what time is it? I opened my eyes and sat up, I let out a fast gasp. My muscles feeling completely sore and tight.
"Ah, what the hell." I moaned as I rolled my shoulders.
I rubbed my head and looked around. My eyes widened and I nearly froze when a sticky sweet smell hit my nose, I fought the urge to gag. "Oh, sweet Jesus. What is that smell?" I covered my nose with my hands and breathed through my mouth.
I gaged again, I could even taste the putrid smell.
"It's the Cullen's . . . you kind of get used to it after awhile."
I snapped my head towards the sound of Embry's voice. My eyebrows knitted together, what is he doing here?
"How are you feeling? God, when Jacob told the pack that Sam phased and attacked you - "
My breath caught in my throat, Sam.
"Sam!" I shouted, getting up off the chair and nearly throwing him out of the way of my grandfather. Sam exploded, right through the wall. He growled, his hackles raised and his teeth bared.
"Sam," I breathed heavily. "just calm the fuck down."
He let out a loud angry snarl, before jumping towards me. My eyes went bug-eyed, fear coursed though my veins.

"Hope?" Embry asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.
I snapped my head up to meet his worried eyes, "Yeah?"
He got up out of his seat and pulled me into his arms. "I'm glad you're okay." he whispered.
"Me too,"
"You don't know how worried I was . . . how furious I was with Sam." I pulled away from him and gave him a puzzled look. Why would he be so upset?
"God, when Jacob told us - I can't even describe the anger I felt. I was so mad, I felt like my body was one fire. Just the fact that Sam laid a hand on you pisses me off, but the fact that he made you loose more than half of your blood? It took Doctor Fang nearly three hours trying to get all of the glass out of you. It didn't help that you were healing over the glass . . . "
"Why were you so mad?" I questioned, ignoring everything else he said.
He gave me a confused look, "I well, I mean - you're like the little sister I never had. Wouldn't you be as mad as me if someone did what Sam did to you, to your brother?"
I paused to think about it for a minuet before nodding, "I'd probably be angrier, because he's actually my brother."
Embry cracked a smile, "Exactly."
"But I'm okay now."
"You are, and I can't be happier knowing that fact."
"What happened to Sam?" I questioned, biting the inside of my cheek.
Emrby went rigid. "Jacob handled him."
I furrowed my brows, "Did he actually hurt him?"
Embry frowned and shook his head, "No, but I'm sure Emily did."
I half-laughed, "I take it Emily can be scary?"
"Sam falls to his knees at anything Emily says when she's upset with him, oh and she did send flowers and chocolates."
I snorted, "Great."
Embry furrowed his brows, "Someones not in the best mood."
I shot him a glare, "Really? I was tackled by a giant wolf though a fucking window." I snapped, he flinched and moved himself away from him. Guilt rose in the the pit of my stomach, "Embry, I didn't . . . "
"It's fine. I understand."
I sighed and ran my hands through my hair, why do I always push the people that care the most about me away?
