So I hope you enjoy...

Complicated

Chapter 25

"You're telling me that I'm a werewolf? And that the only reason you've been avoiding me is because you had to?" Quil asked, his eyes wide with amazement. We were all cramped in Emily's kitchen – except for Paul, I wasn't sure where he went off to – and Sam and the rest of the pack had just told him everything. From phasing to imprinting.

Jake nodded. "We couldn't tell you before."

Quil grinned. "This is so awesome!"

I gaped at him. "Being a big hairy wolf is awesome?"

He shrugged. "Not really but we all get to be friends again and that's pretty awesome." Then, his face scrunched up and he looked confused. "How come Sophie's allowed to know?"

"She's my imprint," Embry answered, pulling me slightly closer to his side. He was still pissed at Quil for almost attacking me. Which I understand but he doesn't have to be so mean. It wasn't completely Quil's fault.

Quil's eyebrows shot up. "Oh. It makes sense now why you got so mad."

"I'm pretty sure I'd be pretty pissed if you almost killed her whether she was my imprint or not," Embry replied coldly.

I swatted at him. "Stop being such a prick Emmy. It's not his fault." I smiled at him but his stern expression didn't budge.

Then Quil looked at me sheepishly. "Sorry about almost killing you and all."

I laughed. I knew he felt bad, and strangely I wasn't in the mood to milk him for it. I just wanted us all to be friends again. "It's alright. I kinda had it coming. I was warned and I didn't listen so... you know. At least I'm still alive."

Quil sighed. Bet you ten bucks he thought I was going to go psycho-bitch on him. "So if she forgives me, does that mean you will Em?"

"Not even close."

I rolled my eyes. "Come on Embry. It's not that big of a deal."

"Really? Really Soph? You dying isn't that big of a deal? Because I'm pretty sure that that's the second fucking time in the last month that you came close to dying. To me that's a big deal." He was glaring at me; which was pretty unusual. He hadn't been this mad at me before. Ever. And I'm pretty sure I've deserved it more before.

So I glared back. "Well I'm not dead, am I? So yeah, I would say it's not a big deal."

"Sophie, do you have any idea how much it kills me to know that you could get hurt?" he asked, his eyes boring into mine.

That did it; I was pissed. I pulled out of his embrace. "Yeah, Embry, I fucking do. How do you think it feels to have to go to bed every night knowing that you're god knows where, chasing after leaches? I'm pretty sure that's a hell of a lot more dangerous than pissing off a werewolf. Why do you think I make you text me or come over after you're done? To make sure you're still alive. So don't you dare tell me that I don't understand what you go through because I have to go through it every damn night." I broke eye contact with him, I couldn't look at him. He looked hurt and I knew I would cry if I kept looking at him.

Plus, frankly, I'd cried way too much for my liking lately. Especially in front of these guys. I looked up when I thought I could handle it to see Embry's expression had softened.

"Hey," he said quietly, cupping my face in his hand. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have flipped at you like that."

"You shouldn't have," I whispered.

"I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" He rested his forehead on mine.

"If you say sorry to Quil."

He glanced over to his buddy and sighed. "Sorry man. I probably didn't give ya the best welcoming into the pack... I,uh, just don't think straight sometimes."

"Ya think?" I interjected, laughing.

"Oh shut up, you." He kissed me quickly on the lips. "So do you forgive me or do I have to get on my knees?"

"Well we all know Quil would enjoy that," Jake teased, standing beside me.

I high-fived him. "Couldn't have said it better myself."

"The one thing I didn't miss about not hanging out with you guys," Quil told us, glaring playfully.

"Don't mind them Quil," Emily told him swinging her dish cloth in my face. "They'll know it when you imprint and they can't make stupid jokes anymore."

"Yeah." He stuck his tongue out at us childishly.

"Alright, children," Sam laughed, "let's eat."

We all took a seat – and somehow all fit – at their dinging table. Of course Emily cooked a lot of food. And, of course, Embry and Emily watched me like hawks as I ate to make sure I did.

We all chatted and teased aimlessly as we filled Quil in on all of our lives. The imprinting, the patrolling stories, pretty much anything and everything. Things were somewhat back to normal. Yeah our group was larger now but we were still all together. Having fun, hanging out; like old times. There wasn't any drama now.

Everything was out in the open. No more secrets. No more lies. And most of all, no more stupid complications. Things were how they were supposed to be. We were friends and everyone was happy. Things were no longer complicated. They were great!

"So I guess I can't call you hall monitors anymore?" Quil asked in what I assumed was a joking tone.

Luckily I assumed right and everyone laughed. "Not unless you don't mind calling yourself one too," Jared told him.

"Damn, this kinda sucks. No offence but you guys were fun to make fun of."

Jake rolled his eyes. "That's just 'cause you have no life so that's all you did."

"Excuse me, Jake, I'm pretty sure that's how you spent most of your free-time before you phased, too," I reminded him.

"Or going all puppy-dog over that Bella chick," Quil put in.

The room went silent and Jake tensed. I guess we didn't tell him everything... Like not to bring up Bella around Jake... ever! Since Jake phased and he wasn't allowed to talk to Bella – kinda like the situation between Embry and I only she wasn't his imprint. He was really upset over it which I thought he should get over. She's just a selfish slut! She used him when she needed him and threw him away when she was done. He was too good for her.

But I had no luck convincing him that.

"I have to go," Jake said, pushing himself violently up from the table.

"Jake wait!" I called after him. "He didn't know!"

"Let him go," Embry warned me, holding me in place. "He'll want to be alone."

"I know." I sighed.

"Was it something I said?" Quil asked, dumbfounded.

"Don't worry about it," Sam assured him. "He has to get over it on his own time."

We explained to Quil the whole story which made him feel even worse.

So I guess I'd spoke too soon. I had Quil. I had my dad. I had Emily. I had Kim. And thank god, I had Embry. But I didn't have Jake in my life. I wasn't sure where he was and I wasn't sure if he'd be back in an hour, or ever.

Yup, things still remained complicated.

THE END

So I'm sorry it sucks! I wasn't really sure how to end it. I hope you liked it and thanks so much for reading and reviewing :)
