Chapter 11: Embry.

Gabriella's POV

I felt numb. How could he do this to me? And how could I do this to myself? All I could remember was Embry taking me home and laying me down on my bed as he said comforting words next to my ear while rubbing my hair soothingly.

He explained to my parents what had happened; well what he thought had happened because I hadn't told him anything apart from Seth breaking up with me. I was currently sitting on my bed listening to Last Kiss by Taylor Swift. Asia had called Rachel, Alex and Stevie when she got home from school and told them what happened and since then they hadn't stopped calling or texting me. I just wish they would all leave me alone.

I get that they cared about me but I needed some time alone, to just think things through and to get over... him. Thinking about him brought new tears to my eyes but I quickly wiped them away. I kept telling myself I was stronger than this and that I would not cry over some stupid boy who broke my heart because he thought he had found someone better. Well, it was his loss. But just because me and him weren't together anymore didn't mean that I was going to stop being friends with Leah. She was the only girl friend that I had here in La Push and I was not going to lose her.

I suddenly heard a knock on my door and my mom poked her head through.

"Honey, dinner is ready downstairs. But if you want I can bring it up here for you."

"I'm not hungry mom. I'm ok, but thanks for asking."

"Ok, but if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here, you know that right? I've been through this before too." When I nodded my head, she continued. "Good. Well I'm going down now ok."

"Ok." My phone suddenly beeped and I saw four new text messages and eleven missed. One from Rachel which said:

Hey Gab, you ok. I'm worried about you. You haven't called back, but if you need to rest that's ok just call me back tomorrow.

One from Stevie which said:

Yo! If Danny and Josh need help beating up that idiot I'm ready with my baseball bat in hand. I got your back.

One from Alex which said:

Cuz, I know what you're going through. I went through the same thing with Mason but its all ok now. It'll be ok for you too. Don't worry. Love you. Xx

And one from... Embry? I never gave him my number. But it said:

Hey Gab you ok? Your sister Asia gave me your number because I'm really worried about you. I didn't want to leave you alone but your mom said it would be best to give you some space to think. If you need anyone to talk to, I'm right here just call or text or if you want I can come to your house. Take care, Gab :)

I was touched that Embry had texted me and it gave me butterflies in my stomach. GOD! Stop it! You just got your heart broken today and you're already getting butterflies from another guy? Wise up.

I then heard a small knock on my door and I yelled, "Come in!"

Jasper then walked through the door in his Spiderman pj's and walked up to my bed.

"Gabby, are you ok? I don't want you to cry, it makes me sad." He said with pouty lips.

I smiled at him and lifted him up onto my bed. "Yes I'm ok. I'm glad that I have people like you to cheer me up when I'm sad. Don't worry about me anymore. So how was your day in nursery?" I asked forcing a smile.

His eyes suddenly lit up. "I met a girl in school today." He said shyly.

"Oh really? What's her name?"

"Her name's Crystal. She's really pretty and she played with me in the sandbox along with my new friend Tom."

"Well it's good that you've made new friends already. I'm tired now so I'm going to sleep ok?"

"Ok, night-night!"

He ran out of the door and down the stairs.

I turned the light off and went to sleep hoping that I wouldn't dream about this day. But I had no such luck.

I dreamt that I was running through the forest looking for Seth.

"SETH! Where are you?"

I kept running and I eventually heard someone laughing. I followed the laugh that echoed all around me and then I saw him. Or rather them.

He had his arms around another girl but her back was to me so I couldn't see her face properly. I hid behind a tree and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Don't worry, I'll leave her soon and then we can finally be together. I've waited so long for this and now it's finally about to happen." Seth said.

"Good, I don't think I can wait any longer for you. I just hope she understands one day. She's meant for Embry, not you." replied the mysterious girl, but her voice sounded very familiar. Was it...? No, it couldn't be.

Just then she turned around and I saw her face properly. NO! Why would she do this to me? How could she betray me?

Just then they both leaned into each other for a kiss...NO!

I bolted upright in bed suddenly. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was only half two in the morning so I lay back down. What could my dream possibly mean? Was this supposed to happen in the distant future? I tried to shake the dream out of my head and went back to sleep.

The next day in school I felt down. I couldn't concentrate on our Chemistry lesson but thankfully the teacher left me alone. Embry kept trying to cheer me up but I wasn't in the mood. But I still thought it was sweet the way he tried to cheer me up no matter how many times I had told him to go away.

During lunch, I sat down with my siblings in a table. Everyone else was eating but I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat anything.

"Gab, are you hungry? I can go get you something to eat if you want?" Josh offered.

"No it's ok. I'm not hungry anyway." I replied as I continued to stare at the table.

"Did you know it's not healthy to not eat anything? You could get sick or worse; end up in hospital." Andrew said.

"Yeah!" They all chimed in.

"I appreciate you guys trying to help but I'm fine." I said. "I think I'm going to go out for some fresh air. I'll see you guys later." I said as I got up from the table and out of the noisy cafeteria.

I walked through the entrance and sat on the steps just outside the doors.

"Hey Gab." Said a voice which startled me.

I turned around and sure enough Embry was standing there holding an apple in his hand.

"You have to eat something Gab. It's not healthy to not eat." He said handing me the apple while taking a seat beside me.

"No thanks. If you've seen the way I eat, I only like to eat junk food, well unless my parents force me to eat something healthy."

He chuckled and reached into his bag. When he took his hand out, he was holding a chocolate bar. "Better?" he asked smirking at me.

"Much." I said taking it out of his hand.

I ripped it open and broke a piece off. I took Embry's hand and set it in his palm. "There ya go." I said smirking at him.

He chuckled as I ate the chocolate.

Just then the bell rang for the end of lunch. We both groaned and stood up.

"What class do we have now?" I asked.

"English."

"FUN!" I said with fake enthusiasm.

"I know, especially since we have a project due and you're my partner." He said winking at me.

I just rolled my eyes at him and shoved him as we both ran to class. I think with Embry here to cheer me up, I was going to be alright.

The week flew by and before I knew it, it was already Saturday. I woke up bright and early and decided to take a walk along First Beach. I got changed into some shorts, pink vest and multi coloured vest that was short and loose on me and some flip-flops. I packed a bag with a towel, extra clothes just in case and my iPod. I walked downstairs and saw my mom watching the news in the living room.

"Hey mom!" I greeted her.

"Hey honey, what brings you up so early?"

"Nothing, just decided to walk along First Beach that's all."

"Ok, be careful!" she called after me as I walked out of the door.

I felt like I was in a good mood today and skipped along to First Beach while listening to some Paramore. I sang and danced along and I may have looked like a weirdo to anyone who saw me but I couldn't care any less. It was part of my personality to not care what other people thought of me. I mean, they didn't know me so what right did they have to judge me?

When I got there, it was empty but I didn't mind; at least I would be free to do whatever. I leaned against a rock and listened to music while I looked at the peaceful looking surroundings on the beach. Just then I saw a person's shadow approach me and I looked up to see none other than Embry.

"Hello Miss Russo!" he said cheerfully.

"And why are you here?" I asked annoyed that my peaceful day was interrupted.

"Hi Embry, it's nice to see you too!" he said trying to copy my voice. I couldn't help but laugh at his failed attempt. "Why are you so grumpy?"

"Because you just interrupted my peaceful day at the beach ALONE." I grumbled.

"But you looked like a loner." He said.

"And?"

"You don't care what people think?"

"No. They don't know me so they shouldn't judge me." I answered simply.

"Is that your motto?"

"No, I don't really have one."

"Oh. Do you want to go in the water?"

"In this weather? I seriously worry about you sometimes."

"It's not that cold. Come on!"

"No!"

He stared at me with an evil look in his eyes. "You can go in the easy way or my way. Your choice."

I snorted. "There's no way I'm going in there. It looks freezing."

Suddenly he pulled my earphones out of my ears and picked me up. I squealed and tried to fight him and free myself but to no avail.

"Embry! Let me go, this isn't fair on me!"

"I gave you a choice, and you chose my way." He said smirking at me.

"NO!" I said as he threw me into the freezing cold water.

I rose up and saw him laughing.

"Oh so you want to play dirty?" I asked him. "I can handle it."

"Bring it."

And with that said we started to splash each other with water and push and shove. We did this until we were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. I pushed him once again.

"Race ya!" I shouted as I ran to get the towel out of my bag seeing as I was soaking wet.

"Hey! That's not fair!"

I made it back first and grabbed the towel. I wrapped myself in it just as the wind blew by and made me shiver. I suddenly felt warm arms wrap around me from behind. I turned my head round to see Embry smiling at me and I smiled back.

"Cold?"

"No Embry, I'm just shivering for no other reason." I said sarcastically.

"Can you go one day without being sarcastic to me?"

"Nope."

He chuckled and brought me down to the ground with him. I sat in his lap and he wrapped his arms around me as I did the same. I put my head on his chest and it seemed peaceful; like we were the only people on earth right now.

"Embry, why are you always so nice to me even though I was always mean to you at first?"

"Do you not like me being nice to you?"

"No! I was just wondering. Never mind."

"Gab, I wanna ask you a question."

"Ok, shoot!"

"I don't know if I should though..."

"Come on Embry! Don't be scared."

When he took a while to answer, I gave him pouty eyes and he sighed. But when he finally spoke I wished I hadn't asked.

"Gab... Will you go out with me?"

And end chapter! Hahaha ;) So remember to guess who Seth's imprint is and I'll give you a preview of the next chapter. Oh and review, review, review! Thanks Xx
