Sav's POV

I stared at the ceiling above me. I had been, for about forty minutes now. My mind was racing, and my thoughts were consuming me. I was thinking about everything that happened in the past week. I didn't even want to think about what just happened with the wolves. I didn't want to think about that at all. Those wolves were so...not regular wolves. There was no way. Why weren't they aggressive towards me? I mean, I can understand one not being aggressive with me, even that's pure luck. But when three more show up, they don't even take a second glance at me? That's like my brother taking a look at a tempting piece of chocolate cake and not taking a huge bite out of it...in other words, impossible. I turned to lay on my stomach. Maybe that would make me fall asleep.

After another ten minutes of tossing and turning, I realized nothing was working. I just couldn't get comfortable. There was no way I was gonna be able to fall asleep anytime soon. I grabbed my phone from underneath my pillow and went through my contacts and selected one.

Please, please, please pick up.

I exhaled softly when I heard a "Savannah?" on the other end.

"Hey, Emb. Do you think you could do me a favor?" I asked.

"Sure, Sav. Anything. Are you in trouble? Why're you calling this late?"

I leaned back into my pillow and shut my eyes in frustration. It was four in the morning. I was absolutely insane for calling him this late.

"Savannah, talk to me!" He said impatiently when I didn't reply.

"Sorry...I was just wondering if you were busy."

"Just lying in bed...ya know, considering it's four in the morning." He said chuckling.

"I can't sleep."

"Sooooo...what're you hinting at?" I could almost see his grin he had on his face right now.

"Do you think you could maybe...uh...come pick me up or something?" I said laughing quietly.

"I'll be there in ten." He said softly, and then I heard a click.

I put some sweat pants and a tee shirt on, and pulled my hair back into a long, messy braid. I didn't exactly look presentable, but what girl did at this time in the morning? I heard a car coming down the road, and I snuck downstairs and quietly opened the door. I sure hoped no frickin wolves were waiting to pounce me again. Good lord.

Embry pulled into the driveway, and I ran around the side of the car and slipped in.

"Hey you." He said smiling.

"Hi there."

"What ya have in mind?"

I leaned back into the seat and smiled. "Surprise me."

We drove for what seemed like forever, and the atmosphere was light and happy the whole time. We laughed and talked, and sang along to the songs on the radio. I hadn't felt this happy or carefree in awhile now. It kind of felt weird. I started getting curious where he was taking me when I saw nothing but trees, and no houses. We were out in the middle of nowhere.

"Embry, where the heck are we?"

"Out in the country."

"Obviously." I said slapping him lightly.

"Just sit back and enjoy the ride. We're almost there."

We drove for about five more minutes on some backroad, and then he stopped. We were in front of some a big pond, and he backed his truck up closer to it, to where the bed of it was facing the water. Before I could say anything, he hopped out and pulled a boatload of blankets out from underneath his seat, and walked around to the back of the truck with them. I slid out of the car and walked around to where he was, curiously.

"Embry, what are you doing?"

"Making us a bed. Wanna help?" He said grinning.

I giggled as he threw me a comforter and layed it out on the truck bed. I swear, he had at least 15 different blankets. He had four pillows, too. We made a comfy little bed, and then we both took our shoes off and crawled up into the bed of the truck. It was nice...really, really, really nice.

The bed wasn't very wide, so we didn't have much room to sprawl out. Therefore, we were kind of pressed close together.

"Thanks for this, Embry." I said suddenly.

Embry propped hisself up on his elbow and turned to look at me. "Anytime."

I did the same, and looked into those heavenly eyes I was beginning to love so much.

"Em, your eyes are beautiful."

"Mine? They're just brown. You have the prettiest eyes I've ever seen in my life, Sav. That blue is so defiant, and lovely at the same time. Just like you." He murmured, still gazing at me.

I grinned at him and rolled back over onto my back.

"I feel like I'm a lot happier when I'm with you. Carefree, more alive, just pure happiness. I don't know what it is."

I felt Embry start tracing patterns lightly on my hand. It gave me chills, of course. I honestly don't know what it was about him. Could I have a crush on Embry? No. No, no, no. I didn't want to. Last time I had a crush on someone, it ended badly.

"I feel the exact same way, ya know." Embry finally said.

I was silent for a moment until I saw Embry point at the sky.

"Look, Sav. The sun's coming up."

"This is like one of those cheesy romance movies, but I'm loving every second of it." I said giggling.

"Good, I'm glad." Embry said laughing.

I turned back over to face Embry. "You ever wonder why we're here?"

"What do you mean?" He said caught off guard.

"I mean, like why are we here? Life just seems pointless sometimes." I said sighing.

"Hey now, don't talk like that." He said brushing a piece of hair out of my face.

"But think about it, though. We're born, we go to school, we finally graduate from there, then we have to work until we retire, and we're old and wrinkly by then. It's not fair. I just don't see the point in it."

Embry was quiet for a moment. "But you're looking at life the wrong way. Yeah, we have to deal with all that crappy stuff, and for the most part, life sucks. But life just isn't about that stuff. In life you have the opportunity to do anything you want. We make friends, we lose friends. Same with family. You can find true love, or spend your whole life by yourself. You can get a high-paying job, or live on the streets. Embrace life, or ignore it. Life is all about choices. Don't take it too seriously. You're not gonna make it out alive anyways." He said winking.

I laughed lightly and rolled back over. "Nicely said, Embry. Very nicely said."

He put his arm around me and pulled me closer. "I thought so too, Sav."

This chapter was just kind of a light-hearted one with no drama, or cliff hangers. Just wanted to add something cute, since everything has been so serious. Next chapters will be filled with drama though, more than likely. Please review :)
