Chapter 11

My dreams haunted me. I couldn't escape my memory. I woke up Thursday covered in sweat and tear streaked cheeks screaming. Rocky was barking at me in fear. I jumped in the shower and washed away the evidence. Taking a deep breath I finished my morning chores and grabbed my wallet and keys.

I quickly drove over to Emily's. I went inside the familiar house that always seemed to be filled with delicious smells. I hadn't been too hungry when I left but with those smells my mouth watered. I greeted Sam who was watching Emily with adoration as she cooked. I couldn't help but smile at the sight. I grabbed a plate and headed towards the table. I saw Kim and Jared sitting down. They looked so cute together. He would whisper in her ear and she would giggle happily. I felt like I was intruding on something private so I looked away.

I heard a car pull up. My heart beat faster and I bit my lip in excitement. The door opened, and in walked…Paul. I groaned in annoyance but waved hello. I grabbed some food and began to eat. My mind wondered randomly as I ate. I wasn't paying any attention to the things around me. Then all of a sudden, my shoulders were on fire, I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at my shoulder. There I saw a large tan hand. I followed the hand up the arm and finally rested on those gorgeous warm black eyes of Mr. Embry Call. He was leaning over me, smiling coyly. His head was merely centimeters from my face. My neck protested against the position, so I got up from my seat.

My waist was grabbed and pulled against his muscular body, I wrapped my hands around his neck and snuggled into his comfortable abs.

"Hello, miss me?" He asked while holding me against his large form.

"Of course." I replied. We stood there in each other's arms for a few minutes, happy and content. I would never move if I didn't have to. Unfortunately Paul was eager to go.

"Ok lovebirds, can we go now?" He asked irritated. I pried myself from Embry's arms and grabbed his hand. We all walked outside.

"So whose car are we taking?" I asked curiously.

"Well someone should take Embry's truck, to put stuff in." Jared said wisely. Embry nodded in agreement.

"Well Pita is useless so, that's one option down." I said knowing my jeep was too small.

"Pita?" Paul asked curiously.

"Yeah, that's what I named my jeep." I told him as he held in a laugh.

"Hey, there is nothing wrong with naming a car." I told him in defense.

"OK fine, but why Pita?" He questioned.

"Pita is an acronym for Pain in the a." I told him. He laughed.

"Ok well, how about we take Paul's suburban?" Kim asked. Everyone nodded in agreement. Without even mentioning anything we all knew Embry and I would go together, and Kim and Jared would go with Paul.

The ride to Port Angelos was long, but I enjoyed the ride. Embry and I talked the whole time. We all met up at a furniture store around 10 o'clock. We all casually entered, but before we did anything Kim pulled me back to walk next to her behind the boys.

"So how was the ride over all alone with Embry?" She teased. I sneered.

"Fine, thanks. Ugh, is everyone's mind in the gutter these days?" I asked aloud. She laughed. Although I shouldn't be saying anything, mine was much worse. I looked forward as we followed the boys. Now that is a good sight I thought to myself. Kim noticed this too though.

"You didn't think I pulled you back here just to talk did you? I was sharing the gift from the gods." She joked and I saw Embry look back and laugh.

We spent several hours picking out furniture. We bought everything necessary, from tables to beds. All the beds ended up being king size. The boys were really too big for anything smaller. Mine was just because I wanted one though. We ended up asking for delivery. We eventually moved on to smaller items. We bought Paints and bedding, and decorations and much more. After getting everything we needed and wanted my stomach was growling. We found a food court. We bought food and we all sat down to eat. We went over all the items and agreed that we had enough.

It was getting late so we drove home. I was very excited so instead of returning to the inn, I went to the new house. I decided to start painting. Everyone else went home so I was completely alone. I finished painting 1 room before 11pm. I decided to call it quits, and return home.

I woke up abnormally early and went over to the house. I brought Rocky so he could get use to his new home. I started painting the next room. My arm was becoming numb so I stopped. I sat down on the floor for a second before the bell rang.

I ran down the stairs foolishly, slipped and fell. I pretty sure I hit every step on the way. At the bottom I crashed into the wall, I felt pain. It spread through my body like poison. I cried out. I struggled to rise up from the ground. My arm was numb with pain and my breathing was staggered. I stood up and looked and what I had done. I laughed at my clumsiness and struggled to reach the door. I opened it as I held my ribs.

"Hello, delivery for Cale McCormack?" An older man with a beer belly asked. I nodded and signed the slip he handed me. He gave me a funny look.

"Are you okay Miss?" He asked worried. I shook my head and motioned for him to enter.

"No, I think I broke my bloody ribs." I said in an English accent, trying to joke about my pain. I leaned against the wall and called Kim.

"Hey, Kim? It's Liz. I'm at the house do you think you could come over?" I questioned in pain.

"Um sure, what's going on?" She asked.

"Well the movers are here and I need a hand." I told her, wincing slightly.

"Sure I'll grab the guys and be right over." She told me and I hung up.

I decided against going to the hospital. I hated them because they brought back bad memories. Besides it wasn't that big of a deal, I convinced myself.

I held myself together and ignored my pain as I instructed where everything went. About 10 minutes later Kim and the boys showed up.

I smiled hello and they all looked at me strangely.

"Hey, I missed you." Embry told me as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I bit my lip in pain, resisting the urge to cry out. He gave me a look and let go.

"What happened, are you okay?" He asked suddenly worried. I shook my head, and flicked my wrist.

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong." I tried to convince him. He gave me a look.

"O yeah?" Paul questioned as he shanked me in the ribs. I cried out in pain. I hadn't even realized anyone else was paying attention.

"That's it. Tell me what happened." Embry commanded. I sighed in pain.

"I fell down the stairs." I grumbled. Jared laughed, and Paul chuckled.

"What!" Embry said and without warning lifted me up and carried me to the truck. Panic and worry was evident on his beautiful face.

At the hospital we found out I broke 2 ribs and my wrist. Yippee. Embry was the first to sign my hot pink cast.

"Geese, what am I going to do with you." Embry teased as we returned to the new house.

I immediately noticed the furniture was already finished.

"Hey cripple, thanks for painting my room." Paul teased.

"No problemo!" I told him.

I decided to try out our new house. I sat down on the couch and turned on our new television. I took a deep breath and smiled at the new home. I flipped through the channels uninterested. Embry joined me. He sat at the other end though. I frowned. Some things have to be taken into your own hands. I laid down across the couch resting my head on his lap. His hands ran through my hair.

"Are you staying here tonight?" I asked not sure if he would.

"Yeah I'm not finished bringing my stuff over but I want to try this place out.

"Good." I smiled happily.

"Hey, did you know today is Friday?" Embry asked. I looked at him in confusion, asking him to explain.

"We are supposed to go on a date." Embry said. I looked at him in shock. I had forgotten.

"Well, its only 5:30, we can still go." I told him.

"Let me get changed, ok?" I said. I was suddenly frantic. What was I going to wear?

I ran around the house looking for Kim. I finally found her sitting with Jared, in there new room.

"Kim, get up! I need you." I told her. She went to move but Jared held her down and glared.

"Mine!" Jared teased. I walked over to her and grabbed her hand to pull her.

"Sorry, I need her more. Come on Kim! This is an emergency." I told her while tugging on her arm.

"What's going on?" She looked at me curiously.

"I'm having a code blue!" I told her.

"A code blue!?" She repeated and got up. Jared looked stunned with confusion as she left him. I pulled her up to my room.

"What's a code blue?" She asked.

"IDK, I made it up." I told her. She laughed.

"Truth is I'm going on a date with Embry. I have nothing to wear!" I told her. She looked at me knowingly.

"Let's call in the girls!" She decided.
