Karli's POV

Time: 3:00pm

Day: Saturday (Two month after Karli lived with the Cullens) August 28

I was finally moving into my own place. I was so happy. I loved the Cullens and everything, but I needed to be on my own.

I waved bye to the Cullens as I pulled off in my new dark blue 2010 Mitsubishi Challenger that the Cullens gave me. They were wonderful people, they treated me like I was there family and made me feel at ease. They even help me with my problems and helped me get over my horrible past.

I headed down a long road to La Push. I had a new home there that Alice and Esme decorated. It was a two story dream house and it was equipped with all the electronics that Emmett gave me, which was a lot. It was like a party house, but I didn't plain on throwing any parties. I wanted to focus on school and getting my life on the right track.

I started thinking of all the things that happened in the past few months. Like how the police got a "tip" that I was now located in New York and people are having sightings of me there. How my parents gave up on me and went back to California. How Greg went to live with his parents back in California for recovery. A lot of mess happened in my life, and I felt good that I was on my way to the right track.

I finally reached my wonderful house and was shocked to see that the door was wide open. I get out of my car and walked cautiously to the house.

I walked through the front door and was scared shitless when I heard a big "SURPRISE." I jumped and held my chest, and everyone burst into laughter. I was mad at first, but then I started laughing.

I looked around the room and saw all the La Push people. Emily, Sam, Jacob.. Etc. There were even a few faces that I didn't know.

"Hi Karli, it's nice to see you again." Emily greeted me with a hug as Sam stood next to her.

"It's nice to see you too." I waved to Sam when Emily let go of me. Sam smiled and nodded his head.

"So how are you doing?'

"I'm doing great. How bout you?" I felt awkward because I didn't know what to say.

"I'm doing great. So I hear…" Emily was cut off by Jacob walking up to me and giving me a bear hug.

"Hi Karli!!!!"

"He he Hi Jacob. I… can't breath." He let go and I smiled.

"Sorry, I'm just messing with Embry because he is too shy to come over here." Jacob whispered. He pointed to the back corner of the living room where Embry was sitting near the corner talking to some Seth.

"Oh." I laughed a little, I didn't know how to react to that. I notice that there was a girl standing awkwardly next to Jacob.

"Oh, and this is Bella." Jacob announced with the biggest smile ever.

"Hi, nice to meet you." I said as I put my hand out to shake hers.

"You too." She smiled.

I talked to a few of 'Emily's boys', except Embry. He must've hated me. I felt bad for way I treated him. It just that I was going through such a rough time that I wasn't myself.

I talked to Emily most of the day, we just talk about how I was attending La Push high school next week, and how I got a job at Starbucks.

It started to get late. Everyone had ate, some people had played X-box live Left for Dead, some people just talked, and some people watched movies in the home theater that Emmett made for me. It was a fun night, but I felt weird because I talked to everyone, but Embry. I didn't feel right without saying sorry.

When 8 o'clock hit, everyone was gone except Emily, Sam, Jacob, Paul and Embry. I was sitting at the dining room table with Emily, and Embry was over with Jacob and Seth in the backyard. I had a perfect view of them through the giant window in the dining room. Emily saw me starring at him.

"Go talked to him." She told me with a smile.

"Oh, no that's okay." I was too scared. I'm sure he didn't like me since he didn't talk to me.

"Why not?" She sounded disappointed.

"I'm sure he doesn't want to talk to me. I was pretty mean to him when I was back at your house. He hasn't even looked at me today."

"Oh yes he has. He can't keep his eyes off you. Look." She nodded toward the window, I looked and he quickly turned his head. I laughed. "See, now go talk to him."

"Uh," I hesitated, but then decided to at least apologize. "Okay." Emily looked happy as I got and walked to the backdoor.

That's when I noticed some girl walked out of nowhere and was headed for the backdoor too. Being polite, I let her go out first, since she was the guest. She smiled thanked me as she walked toward and Jacob.

"EMBRY!!" The girl shrieked. "Hi, can we talk." I should have walked out first. Jacob looked at me and the girl, and he knew that I wanted to talk to Embry.

Embry had his back toward me, so he didn't know I was outside. The girl hugged Embry and said, "I missed you all summer."

I felt disappointed because I wanted to talked to Embry, but I guess it could wait. I walked back inside the house and sat at the table. Emily was staring outside like she wanted to laugh.

"What?" I was curious.

"Embry doesn't like her."

"Why?" She seemed like a nice girl.

"That's his ex, and they broke up before last school year ended. He promised her that they would try to work it out, but he's been avoiding her all summer. Now she's found him, I wonder how she knew about this party." Emily started laughing as her and Jacob made contact and Jacob made this annoying face. Embry looked uncomfortable and kept turning his head to look at me through the window, but then quickly turned his head to look away.

He was acting weird, maybe he did hate me so much that he didn't want to make eye contact with me. Maybe he was wondering why I was staring at him so much. So I stopped looking at him all night.

***

Everyone went home and I didn't even talk to him. He did however waved and smile as he walked out the door. I guess he didn't hate me, but he still doesn't want to talk to me. Oh well. School starts next week on Monday. So I guess I'll talk to him then.

Finally, after I post this chapter up, I will start typing the next one, hopefully I'll finish by tonight. Review please.
