Chapter 14

Turns out Leah was right, it was an amazing day to go to the beach. But like all amazing things, there are always downfalls. First of all, Seth wasn't here. Secondly, Tevvin, Tessa and Luke, being the procrastinators that they are, were all busy with homework. Thirdly, Scar was still pissed. But Leah was here, and that was good.

We laid out our towels and sat down. The sun shone brightly on us and in the distance I could see a few boys jumping off the lower cliffs.

Leah caught me watching. "Looking for some fresh meat?"

I laughed, "'Magine. No I just don't see why people are so stupid."

"It's a lot of fun. We jump off the higher cliff all the time."

I rolled my eyes. "Of course you do! But they're human!" I whispered.

She laughed. "Wanna go?"

"Did you not listen to what I just said? They're death-traps. Besides, Seth told me the story about Bella and cliff diving and... I promised him not to do it. Ever!"

Leah glared at some of the guys that were checking us out as they walked by. "You're no fun, Lex. Maybe I should get you drunk. But then again, you're all lusty, not fun."

I blushed. "He told you." This was horrible, if Leah knew, chances were the whole pack knew.

" Well he thought it to us, technically. Come on Lex. Ask Sa –" She cut herself off, instantly looking sad. I wanted to hug her. But she composed it and continued, "Sam. I'm like that when I'm drunk. At least if I could still get drunk."

I smirked, that was something I wouldn't want to see. Not that it would be possible for me to see it anyway. "Stupid pack," I muttered.

She chuckled. "You're lucky at least they aren't in your thoughts. I have them knowing everything I think, feeling everything I feel every freaking day!"

Instantly, I felt bad for Leah. I mean, seriously, having your ex, your little brother and a bunch of your friends knowing what you think everyday? I wouldn't even have any friends if they knew what I thought like sometimes. "That sucks."

She sighed in agreement.

"Anyway. We just going to lay here?"

She stretched out on her towel. "Don't see why not."

Rolling my eyes, I did the same. I grabbed my sunglasses from my beach bag and put them on. The sun killed the eyes. The beach was starting to fill up, but it was still quite peaceful. Until I heard a long howl.

Leah groaned. "Great! Can't be lazy for one day."

I smiled smally. "You have to go?"

She nodded. "I'll be back when I can. They might not even need me."

One of my fears was being alone in public, I don't know why. I just always felt awkward, like everyone was staring at me. When I told Seth, he said they were because I was so beautiful. Bull! Sometimes, it would be nice to get a normal answer but, whatever. I knew everyone on the beach, of course. After all, this was La Push. But I wasn't exactly close to anyone here. Most of them, I didn't like or they didn't like me because either they liked Seth, or they thought I was too smart.

I snuck a glance to where Leah had disappeared into the forest. To my surprise, someone was coming out. I craned my neck to see over the heads of people. I sighed when I realized it was Embry.

"Nice to see you too, Lex."

I blushed. "Sorry, thought you'd be Leah."

"And here I'm used to people thinking I'm better company than Leah."

"Well your not." Then I noticed how rude that sounded. "No Offence"

He shrugged. "None taken." He scanned over the beach, seemed disinterested, then looked back at me. "So I guess you're stuck with me."

I shot him a confused look.

He smiled. "Leah is patrolling today because they think they've found something." My eyes widened. "Just a vamp, by itself. No biggie. But my wrist is kind of sprained now so I can't phase."

"Oh," I said vaguely.

"You okay?"

"Why are all you wolves so perceptive?"

"Because I don't know what that means," he said, grinning.

I couldn't help but grin back. "It means you notice things."

"Oh. So you want to talk about it?"

I shrugged.

"Well that's a great answer," he said sarcasticly.

"Thanks," I replied.

He smirked. "You really are Paul's sister."

I glared at him.

"Whoa" He held up his hands. "Calm down. You hear about him and Rachel?"

"Yeah, you know he is my brother."

"I know. Is that what's bugging you?"

I shook my head.

"Seth?"

I looked at him like he had two heads. "Are you retarded? Obviously not."

"Hangover?" he questioned, trying to stifle a laugh.

My glare deepened. "Embry, if you're going to bug me all day, an you tell me now so I can leave?"

"Sorry."

It went quiet for a while. I felt almost bad, Embry was nice and after all he was just trying to help. "It's my friend."

"What friend?" He actually seemed interested.

I pondered whether or not to tell him. "Scarlett."

"What's wrong with her?" he asked.

"Nothing, technically. She's just being, kind of bitchy."

He raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"I don't know," I said sarcasticly. "Maybe because I ignored them for three weeks."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"Things will get better. They always do."

I smiled, he was like Tevvin in the optimistic department. "I hope so."

"So what made you think of her?"

"I want to talk to her. But I suck at apologies, really bad. And, I know she won't forgive me unless she could know, which she can't. Things are so complicated. Do you think I should talk to her?"

He nodded. "Yeah. Come on, we're both free, I could help you find her?"

I grinned. "Really? You'd help me?"

He grinned back. "You're part of the pack now too, Lex."

"Good to know." I stood up and dusted the sand off my butt. Then, I extended my hand for him.

"I believe I'm the guy here." He went to grab my hand, but since he made his comment, I pulled it back and he fell on the ground.

"You're right, you are." I laughed.

"And I'm here trying to help you!"

"Sorry." I smiled apologetically at him.

He laughed, following my actions as I headed up the beach. I was going to text her, but decided against it. Instead I tested Tevvin.

HEY. U AND SCAR TALKIN YET? IS U R DO U KNW WHERE SHE IS?

He responded immediately.

NO WERE NOT :( AND I HAVE NO IDEA! BESIDES, MUST U TXT ME? U NO WERE STUDYING HERE. AND U NO HOW HARD IT IS TO TEACH LUKE ANYTHING INVOLVING SKUL.

I rolled my eyes.

K, THANKS, AND GOOD LUCK!

"He has no idea where she is."

"Well, what does she look like? It's nice out she might be here," he suggested.

"You, my friend, are a genius!" I hugged him impulsively.

He dis tangled my arms from around my neck. "Do you want Seth to kill me?"

"Sorry." I laughed. "It's just you had an amazing idea."

"How? Almost everyone looks alike here."

"That's the thing! She's not Quileute, her step-dad is! She's pale and has blonde hair, and stands out like a sore thumb!"

He grinned. "Genius I see. Come on, let's look."

We searched the beach for only about five minutes before I spotted her. She was sitting on a beach towel, staring at the ocean, seemingly bored – and extremely sad looking.

"Scar!" I called, dragging Embry behind me as I approached her.

She cocked her head in my direction, narrowing her eyes when she saw me. "What?"

"We need to talk." I sat down beside her.

"Please, Alexa, just leave me alone."

"No! We're best friends, well I think we are – well, you're my best friend, no matter how much you hate me. You can't just avoid us!"

She looked baffled. Of course, she avoided the subject. "So you have two hall-monitors as your boyfriend now?"

"Scar! No!" I exclaimed. Then I noticed Embry, he had that look on his face. The same look Seth had on his everytime he looked at me. Oh, no! He imprinted. Might as well introduce them, they'll have to meet sometime. "This is Embry, he's Seth's friend. Scar, Embry. Embry, Scar."

Embry smiled, not taking his eyes off her. Scar blushed under his gaze but told him it was nice to meet him anyway. Suddenly, I knew things would get a lot easier. She could understand everything, I – or Embry – could tell her all about the wolves. She would probably forgive me and we could all be friends again.

As fast as they rose, my hopes crumbled down. Tevvin. He would be so heart-broken. There was nothing I could do though.

"Look Scar. We have to go. But, um." Tomorrow there was a bon-fire at the beach, she could come, hear the legends, forgive me, love Embry. It was all so simple! Too bad it didn't always work that way.... "We're having a bon-fire here, tomorrow, over there," I pointed at the circle where the fire was held, " do you want to come?"

She looked at me dubiously so I elbowed Embry, maybe she'd say yes to him.

"Yeah. We'd love to have you."

She bit her lip. "Is Tevvin going to be there?"

I shook my head.

"Sure. What time?"

"Seven-ish? I'll pick you up."

She nodded.

"Bye." We got up to leave and started to walk away.

"And Lex?"

I turned back around to hear what she had to say. "Yes?"

She had that dark look in her blue eyes again. "I better get a good explanation as to why you left."

I nodded. "You will," I whispered.

"I-I imprinted," Embry breathed as we left the beach.

I smiled at him. "You did."

Once we were actually out of the beach, Embry went and phased to see where Seth and everyone was. He came out of the forest in a hurry, running towards me. "Lex, we got to go!"

Instantly I panicked. "Where? Why?"

"Jake's. There's been a... misunderstanding."

"Huh? Explain."

"Two werewolves going at it," he clarified. "Human form though so it's all good."

"Who?"

"Do you really have to ask?" he asked as we rushed for the Black's household.

"Paul."

"And?"

"Jake?" I gasped.

He nodded.

"Damn't! Come on!" I started to run.

"What the hell? Alexa slow down. It's not that big of an emergency, Rach and Ness are trying to calm them down."

"Yeah, but it's my fault! I told Jake he could!"

Embry started chuckling and eventually was doubled over laughing. It may take longer than usual to get to Jake's house.

Sorry for such a long wait but please review! And ill try to update faster!
