Chapter 9-March Madness
The sound of rain woke me up early Wednesday morning in the middle of March. It's been seven months since Emmett and his family left. Part me still believes that they would come back but on the other hand, maybe they are better off without me.
However, I need to stop moping around. It started to worry my parents and even that was creeping me out.
I got up and headed downstairs and saw my dad pulling out of the driveway from the window leaving for work and I headed into the kitchen.
"Hi honey" My mom said as I walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Mom" I said back grabbing a bowl from the cupboard.
"You look a little better" she said.
"I do?" I asked turning my attention towards her.
"Yeah after well, you know…"
"Mom, it's okay to say his name in front of me." I said.
"I know it's just, well my little girl got her heart broken. I mean, your father and I watched you go downhill. You were a zombie and I can't believe that boy did that to you" she said.
"I'm okay really. It's just hard to get use to being without him" I said. "But I'm fine, really."
My mom looked at me skeptically before clearing her place at the table.
"Don't forget that I'm here if you ever need to talk" she said.
"I know."
"Good. Okay I got to get to work and you still need to get ready for school."
"I know and Mom, you mind if I go down by La Push for awhile? I haven't been there in months" I asked.
"Okay, just be careful though" she said. I sighed as she left the kitchen. Mom was always worrying about me. So was Dad. But Mom was about five times the worrier as Dad was. Weird how those two are somewhat alike.
I got to school awhile later and entered the parking lot. The few spaces that was near the school remained emptied ever since they left. I tried myself not to look at that direction as I got out. With a long sigh I grabbed my bag and locked my truck and headed inside the building.
This was going to be a long day.
"Now can someone explain to me how can this short story relate to symbolism?" Ms. Mitchell asked in English class. "Anyone? Ms. Hale?"
Damn, why is that I always get picked on without a warning?
"Um I think what this author is trying to do is that with symbolism is that um he is trying to put the story as a symbol of fate. Which means that fate has what's in store for most of the characters and how it came to be" I replied.
Ms. Mitchell nodded and she continued to ramble on about whatever we were learning. I mentally wished myself thank god cause I was somewhat paying attention to the lesson. Not that it would matter anyways but still. I breathed a sigh of relief when the bell rang ending third period. I had to suffer through Government and History before that.
I was making my way down the hall towards my locker when Jessica came out of nowhere in front of me.
"Hi" she said.
"Um, hi Jess" I said as I stopped.
"You haven't like sat with us at lunch in like months like I know you were trying to deal with Emmett and his family gone but it still feels like you're like still all emo about it and what not but you do need to get over it" she said continuing to ramble on a bit.
"I'm fine, really" I said assuring her with a fake smile.
"Okay cause for a minute you have me worried there, so are you doing anything Friday night?" she asked.
"Not that I could think of" I replied.
"Good cause I was wondering if you want to come to Port Angeles this weekend with me Lauren and Angela that night we were going to have girls night originally tonight but moved it to Friday instead cause Angela's brother got sick and she need to take care of him" she said.
"Just let me know what's going on" I said, hoping she would leave me alone.
"Okay great see you at lunch" she said and she walked away while I hurried towards my locker. I grabbed my next few books and made my way to my next class.
I was walking towards my truck at the end of the day when I saw the sun trying to peak out of the clouds. That's something you don't see everyday here.
I grabbed my keys and opened up the door and sat in finally. I closed my eyes for a second before I opened them and started up my truck. I pulled out of the parking and headed towards the direction of La Push.
I got there in twenty minutes luckily and got out of the truck. As I was making my way down, I saw three guys standing near the ocean as I got closer. I don't know, but they did look familiar to me. As I kept walking, I felt the cold wind attack my face and my ponytail bouncing around.
"Rosie is that you?" someone said to me.
"Seth?" I asked in shock.
"Long time no see" he said, hugging me tightly.
"Yeah I know" I said as I saw the other two guys approaching us.
"Embry, Quil you remember Rosie right?" Seth asked.
"You really don't have to call me that you know" I said.
"Relax, we haven't seen you since Seth over here introduced us to you" Embry said.
"Yeah, well you know that rumor has it that those Cullens left town few months back" Quil said.
"That's true" I said softly.
"Really? Then good riddance for them" Embry said.
"Why do you say it like that?" I asked.
"Nothing it's just nothing just didn't really like them" he replied. I raised my eyebrow at him.
"Alright now that she's here you want to hangout with us?" Seth asked.
"If that's okay with you guys then sure" I replied.
"Cool, I wish I could stay but I got to get back" Embry said all of a sudden.
"What's the rush for man? Not like Sam is going to go all mad on you" Quil said.
"I just got to go anyways and leave Sam out of this it's none of your concern, I'll see you around Rose" he said and jogged off the beach.
"Who's Sam?" I asked.
"Head of his gang he has with four other guys from the reservation" Seth replied. "Let's just say he sort of runs it."
I didn't bother asking more as I just nodded. I didn't know whether or not that was a good thing or bad thing.
"So the Cullens…how come you acted like that before when Quil mentioned them?" Seth asked.
"I was involved with one of them" I replied.
"Emmett" he stated rather than questioned.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"I had a hunch I don't know guessed as you called it" he replied.
"You said before that they don't come here but why is that?" I asked.
He let out a bitter laugh after I asked him that before he said anything. "Them are not welcomed here because let's just say that the reservation and them don't have that nice of a past."
"You guys don't get along then?"
"Nope, never had and never will. I'm glad there gone when my Dad told me when he heard it from Billy" he replied.
"And Billy is…"
"Billy Black he's Jacob's dad" he replied.
"Okay then" I said, not wanting to ask anymore questions.
"But that's besides the point, how have you been?" he asked.
I smiled a bit and I told him what has happened so far this year. Which I might add, is so far a bit interesting and crazy at the same time.
