CHAPTER 25

Breaking up is harder than one thinks

Violet's POV

I never asked to be the way I am. But, I never complained ever. I'm not a monster! I used to say that to myself when I did things that the other girls couldn't do and they looked at me like I was some sort of freak.

A freak, monster, abnormal. That's what he called me.

I always tried to see the good side in people. It didn't matter if the person was rich, poor, tall, short, young or old. All people were and are beautiful.

But then, my mother was taken away from me forever.

Everything changed after that.

Then, I moved to Washington with my father and here I am. I thought it was going to be simple. Me, locked inside the house all day and all the time. Seems that everything was going fine.

But then I met Embry. He made me feel… warm again.

Slowly, but constantly I've begun to grow more and more attached to him. Until I couldn't deny it anymore and admit to myself that I was falling in love with him.

Just that need to have him in my life grew stronger and stronger each passing day. And, I can't let that happen again.

No, not this time. Embry is such a nice guy. But nice boys can change too. and I want to preserve that image that I have of him. the sweet and charming, Embry.

And I now know what I have to do.

How long have I been standing outside? Fifteen- twenty minutes? I lost track of time stuck in my own head. I forgot how pretty the sky is and how green this place is.

"VIOLET!" I'd recognize his voice anywhere. I heard him before I saw him. and when I got up to search for him, I had been crushed into a massive hug that could have broken me in half.

And it then turned into a smile.

"OH MY GOD! I've been worried sick about you!! Are you okay? Do you need anything? Can I bring you something?" His gestures were sincere but, I's complicated to ask when you can't feel the air coming into your own lungs.

"Can't … breath." I grunted out. He let go of me instantly. I sat on the ground again and he sat beside me.

"I'm so sorry, Vi. I just thought… that you were just an illusion in my head." It was funny to see his face, kind of awkward and embarrassed.

"I think you can tell by now that I'm real." I tried to smile. But, I just can't and Embry made me feel so good ever since I met him.

"Vi, what's wrong?" He tried to touch my face, but I restrained. I thought I heard a whimper coming from his lips.

"Embry." Crap, this seemed less painful in my head. "I have something to tell you." His eyes were huge and he didn't seem to be breathing. This is going to hurt a lot. "I…"

"Vi, it's time!" My dad was shouting. Now?

"I'm sorry, Embry. I can't talk to you now. My dad and I are going to the grocery store to buy some things." I rose, avoiding his eyes. He did the same but held onto my hands.

"I'll come with you." He was almost begging. "Please, can I come?"

"My dad wants to spend more time with me." I said taking my hands away from his. "Besides, for some reason he doesn't seem very happy with you right now." And it was true. My dad seemed annoyed when I mentioned Embry's name earlier. Weird.

"Oh, okay. I understand." But he didn't move.

"But I still want to talk to you." The words that were coming out of my mouth left a bad after taste. But, I have to do this. " Can you… meet me at First Beach in about an hour? It is important." I had to look up to control my nausea. I'm not feeling good thinking about hurting him.

"Vi, are you feeling alright?" I didn't have to look at him to see that he was worried.

I'm fine. Just… please? It's really important."

"Of course. Anything for you."

Oh God. I'm not going to make it. "Okay, see you then." I said running to my dads car, looking at the ground and not waiting for his answer.

I was trying to be like them. Wasn't I? After all, I am only human! So, why was I treated like a monster? I really don't understand.

"Vi, did you hear a thing I said?" My poor dad. He was really trying to be a good father. To bad I wasn't listening.

"I'm sorry, what?" He put the groceries in the basket while I was walking and told me to get the meat while he went to the produce section.

Everybody is the same, yet they still treat each other differently. Children, adults, men, women. There are so many people who think they're better than the others and for what?

There were two people in front of me in the line and I didn't even realize that behind me was a young woman who was so nice to me when Embry took me to her house.

"Violet! I can't believe it! Are you alright? I was so worried." She remembered my name. That was nice, but how did she know that I was 'indisposed?'

"Thank you, Emily. I'm fine now. it was just the flue. No big deal." I said asking the clerk for my meat and from the corner of my eye I saw that she was eyeing me carefully.

"Are you sure you're alright?" I smiled at her when the clerk came back with my order. He looked at her with a disgusted face. Oh, no. This cannot be happening.

"Sorry, but we are out of meat." WHAT? That is a down right lie! I just bought some and I'm sure that the market doesn't run out of meat in the middle of the day! This is just because he doesn't want to take her order.

"Oh, that's okay then…" Emily started to leave, but I grabbed her arm gently and with all the calmness I could muster I looked at the boy. There this will teach him a lesson.

"Excuse me, young man. But, the lady here asked for seven steaks and I'm sure you more than that in your freezer right? He just nodded with a goofy smile and It didn't take him but five minutes for him to come back with her order

"Here you go, Miss Young." Look at that. He even knows her name. Emily was estatic. I think it's the first time that the boy treated her like a lady.

"It'll be…"

"For free." I said.

"For free, Miss Young. I'll call for someone to help you carry these heavy bags to your car." I had to shake her a bit for her to say something.

"N…no. It's fine. I can carry those myself." But, the boy wouldn't take that answer. Such a nice young man!

"Of course not, Miss Young. You are one of our most loyal costumers and I cannot let you carry all of these heavy bags by yourself." He said flashing her a toothy smile. Emily was still shocked by his sudden change of behavior.

"Thank you, sir." I said taking some of her bags and walking ahead of her. "What a polite young man, don't you think?" I said and she turned to me.

"That was weird. He never talked to me before and now he was nice." Without noticing, she put her hand on her scars not looking at me.

I took both of her hands in mine and made her look at me. "Some men feel threatened in the presence of a strong woman like you, Emily. Did you know that?" I smiled at her and she relaxed. I then helped her with her groceries, just making small talk, but I knew that soon enough my dad would be calling me and I must say goodbye to her. " You know, Emily, Embry has told me wonderful things about you. He sees you as a mother figure even and I think this is wonderful that he sees you that way."

"I have always taken good care of the boys, Violet. And, Embry always tells us great things about you too." We were now outside of the store and my dad was coming toward us.

"Can you promise me that you'll look after him, please?" I begged. I glimpsed up at her and she looked horror struck. How in the world could I blame her? That is not an every day request.

"Violet, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just…please?"

"There you are kiddo. Well, hello, Emily. How are you?" My dad has such perfect timing I must say. He didn't even wait for her answer, he just started to walk toward the car.

"Give Sam my regards." I said hugging her.

"Lets go Vi." I left her to help my dad and we left.

Now it's time. There is no reason to extend this suffering any longer. I kept thinking about everything and how much better Embry will be without me. When I finally saw First Beach, I thought I was going to be alone. Embry was already there, smiling as always. This was seriously going to be harder than I thought after seeing that gorgeous smile of his.

"Hi" Embry said walking up to me.

"Hi." I managed to say, but before he got the chance to wrap his arms around me I made a gesture with my hands for him to sit down. I almost fell down with the thud he made when he hit the ground.

"Please, what I have to tell you is very important and you cannot interrupt me, okay?" I didn't mean to sound so bossy, but my tone, I must have sounded ridiculous. He only nodded, so I took in a deep breath and avoided his eyes. I couldn't say it if I stared into those beautiful brown eyes of his. "Embry, I can't do this. I thought I could, but I can't. It's too hard. You've been so good and patient to me." I took a deep rugged breath. God he was so beautiful. Come on, Vi, you gotta keep going, "I don't deserve you. You deserve someone…normal." I cringed when I said the last. He has no idea, "I'm not…" But then I looked up at him and saw that he was almost crying. Oh, no. "What do you think I am, Embry? This- this is only a shell of who I am." Then I said the five words that cut through my heart, "We cannot be friends anymore."

I didn't know what to expect. Anger, violence, sorrow or relief. But suddently he stood up and with a determined look on his face, he leaned very close to me.

"I have something to tell you too." He was so close now. And all I could do was stare at his lips. The lips I had only touched days before.

"Embry, I …"

"Please, Vi. It's my turn now."
