Chapter 13: Love me two times
Today went by without another appearance by Embry. Paul and Jared came back at the end of lunch.
Strangely, for that I was glad because I won't have to confront him, I'm way too tired but also I was disappointed, I like him.
Yes, I know it doesn't seem that I like him, it's just I always found it hard to analyse my emotions and most of the time dismiss whatever I am feeling like in the long run and concentrate on my day to day.
Which made it easy to suppress that my existence is the reason why my half – brother's parents also my father are dead.
So its reason to believe that on my first day back to school I was a bitch to Embry, after that day at Sam's it seemed that I'd be able to work it out with Embry.
I really do like him but lately it seems that childish 'liking' is developing into something deeper. That scares the shit out of me.
I'm not looking for long term relationships there is 6 months to graduation and the day after I finish school I'm getting the hell outta La Push, Forks, and Washington.
I want to go to College, I want to travel, and I want to live.
But then again, it is 6 months away, and teenage relationships don't last forever. I honestly like him and he may even become my 'first' love well, actually second after chocolate.
This I pondered through my last class today Modern History which Miss Weiss was trying to get through to the class the total unexpectedness of JFK's death.
A sigh of relief echoed through the class as the bell signalled to end of class and like every teacher I had to day she said 'Kenna could you stay back a second please.' I didn't move I was expecting it.
Miss Weiss gave me the work I missed and discussed what the new topic is about, I wouldn't have minded it usually except when I ran outside to the Student Lot the bus already left, and it's raining.
Shit Bricks, shitty bricks, shit brickity.
Raining is an understatement, a huge understatement. It was pouring, it was like god or whoever sat up in the big seat really took the words "cry me a river" to heart.
Bad thing was I had to umbrella.
Idiot
Hey! Take that back.
Why? Its La Push it's always raining, an umbrella is usually like a cellphone, no one's ever without it. Except you apparently.
Well you didn't remind me.
I just like to see you get wet.
Ew... that's what he said.
Child
Imbecile
At least I'm not the one with a dirty mind.
News flash, you are my mind.
*Hand Palm*
So, now I have to walk thirty minutes to get home, in the cold rain with a thin jumper. I am now officially an idiot.
Breathing deeply and silently cursing my modern history teacher I took one step into the rain, and shivered.
FML
You forgot your lunch?
Shut up, you
Make me
...
Haha you have no control over your own conscience
*dies inside*
I hunched my shoulders and hugged my school bag and walked quickly to the direction of my house.
I struggled to put one foot in front of the other, I could barely see my hand 30 cm from my face, horse shit.
Sam's house is only five minutes away, perhaps it's time to pay a visit to a brother who may own some towels.
I passed the spot where I found Homer. John is seriously attached to Handsome Homer which totally mystified mom.
When mom is up late at night trying to finish a chapter or jot down a new idea, John lets Homer up and into bed.
Which gets him in tremendous trouble with his wife.
Homer is now a police dog. Well, kind of. John now takes him to work; Homer cruises around in John's police car.
The drunken teenagers John fishes up tend to be confused as to why a ratty puppy with one and a half ear is riding shotgun in the police car howling to the radio.
Homer has truly got John whipped.
Which got me thinking to Embry again and guilt welled tight in my chest. I shouldn't lie to him or myself. Maybe I can change it.
The forest is green no matter what season it is. Winter green, Summer green, Autumn green, Spring green. Rather sickening at times.
Yet to me it's beautiful, it reminds me of fairy tales.
The road turned to dirt as I reached Sam and Emily's driveway, and the rain thundered down harder. I knew if I started to run I'll trip.
It's when I was contemplating whether or not its hazardous for me to trip a voice that reminded me of snakes sliding over rocks addressed me by, 'hello moppet.'
I looked up; three inhumanly beautiful persons stood facing me. Two men and one female with vibrant red hair.
The one that spoke had black dread locks and a cruel smile with even crueller frightening red eyes.
I stood still in my tracks stifling the urge to scream, they aren't humans not even remotely mortal. They were vampires.
We're gonna die, oh my god, we're gonna die, I never toldyouthisbutIloveyouKenna!
Hush
A blur rushed past so I tried to run, a cold hand grabbed my arm, and I heard a crunch.
The red head looked down into my eyes, my tears being washed away by the rain.
She smiled, I screamed.
The two males joined her, 'slowly Victoria' the other male told her.
This one was breathtakingly gorgeous in a creepy thriller novel way, with his sandy blond hair tied at the nape of his neck and chiselled facial structure.
All three at them chuckled and in my delusional state I guessed at an inside joke.
The red hear vamp, brushed her lips lightly against my exposed throat, I whimpered pathetically. Trapped by her ice cold gripe and a ring of very hungry hippos – I mean Vampires.
I cried in terror, and then three giant wolves exploded from the green forestry. The vamps whipped their heads in the direction of the wolves, then took off, with the three wolves on their heels.
Leaving me crumpled in the middle of the road.
Pain leaving me dazed and my arm hung at a sickening angle.
I really wanted to throw up.
I had to get to Sam's, I can't stay out in the rain.
I'd catch my death.
Slowly I raised myself awkwardly off the ground, cradling my injured arm, and began to stumble towards the safe haven of my brother's home.
I stumbled and cried, and with grim determination made myself to pull forwards.
There was a crash in the trees and Embry ran out, clad in only shorts.
He was sprinting towards me at a rate that was inhuman. When he reached me I stood there dumbly.
'Kenna' he breathed in relief. When he noticed my arm his eyes widen in concern and he started to shake.
Please don't burst out into a giant dog I begged silently in my head.
I wrapped an arm around his shaking form and rested my head on his bare chest which warmed my shivering body.
'Hospital, please,' I whispered, pain making me short.
Then for the millionth time in the last two weeks, I blacked out.
When I woke I was in hospital again, but this time as soon as I opened my eyes, my gaze instantly met that of Embry Call's.
For that I was grateful.
One of the thoughts I had when I was face with three very hungry Vamps was that I may never see his face again, and that hurt so much that even the thought made me want to cry.
There was a heavy cast on my right arm, where the Vampire broke it by merely grabbed me.
Not for the first time I wondered how strong they are. That frightened me.
Embry sat on the side on my bed, and I was awed to see tears in his eyes.
'Hey' he smiled softly through his tears.
'Hey' I smiled back.
Then Dr Cullen walked through the door, perfection the very word.
When I looked at him I gasped. Vampire.
Shit bricks.
He smiled at me in a doctor way, 'Ok Kenna Woods, this is the second time in two weeks you payed us a visit. Now with your cast you'll have one on for six weeks. Unfortunately your elbow was broken in several places so you'll have to wear a sling and it'll take a while to heal...'
'DON'T EAT ME' I screamed whispered.
He looked confused then looked at Embry and smiled once again.
'She knows?' He asked softly. Embry nodded.
Dr Dracula looked at me and sighed while I wondered what type of misery he puts his patients through.
'Yes, I'm a vampire. All my family is, but we are vegetarians and only live off wild animals. Now you'll have to see me in three weeks to replace your cast.' With that abrupt change of the conversation he left the room.
While my mind was reeling from information overload.
Embry stroked my forehead; I looked up at him and told him 'He ain't never coming near Homer.'
Call chuckled. 'You are an odd one' he said.
'Yes, yes I am. Your mom tells me that all the time.'
'Only you can be told that information and react by worrying about your dog'.
I was just happy that he was here.
But, I still flipped him off, albeit grinning.
His grin faded into a mask of seriousness 'I was afraid I was gonna lose you Ken.'
He sounded so sweet I didn't attempt to slap him for calling me Barbie's Bitch.
Instead I wrapped my uninjured arm around his neck and kissed him softly.
'Yeah, I know what you mean and yes.'
'Yes what?'
'We can go on a date.'
Alright it's been awhile, but hey what can I say? I have a teenage brother who's addicted to computer games and only one computer in the house.
