Chapter 28
Kai's point of view
It's been a few days since the wedding and Jake's been a pain to be around. He's moping around talking about how Bella's probably a leech by now. Paul says he's the male version of Leah. All the guys hate Leah because of the thing with Sam, Emily and her. I hate that they're rude to Leah, she went through a tough time and is allowed to act that way! Anyway I received some letters today, acceptance letters. One for the University of Washington and the other Alabama State University. Oh gosh! ASU has a great teaching program which is what I want to major in. But UW is closer, only two hours away whereas ASU is forty-two hours. Oh gosh why did I have to graduate two years early!? I pound my head on the kitchen table and sigh.
"You know." a voice says and I snap my head up. "You're going to get brain damage if you do that." Emma says with a smile from the doorway of the kitchen.
"I thought you were Embry for a second." I say.
"Are you hiding from your wolf?" she asks sitting down next to me.
"No. I just don't want him to see these." I say showing her the letters.
"Oh my gosh this is great! Congrats Kai!" she says and hugs me.
"Thanks." I say.
"Which one are you going to?" she asks.
"I have no idea but I have to choose soon. I mean college starts in like a month!" I say.
"Oh, that's bad." she says and I groan hitting my head on the table again. "If you keep that up you're not going to be able to go to either colleges." she says and I roll my eyes.
"I don't care." I mumble.
"Kai look at me." she says and I look up at her. "Embry will be upset if you choose ASU but he'll get over it because it'll be your choice." she says. "He loves you and has to agree with your decisions. He'll support you with everything you do Kai." she says.
"When'd you get so wise?" I ask.
"When I listened to my older and wiser sister." she says and I smile.
"I love you Em." I say and hug her.
"I love you too sis." she says hugging back. "And I'll miss you when you leave. Whether it's to Seattle or Montgomery." she says and a tear falls down my face.
"Aw Em I'll miss you too!" I say and hug her again.
"What's going on in here?" dad asks coming into the kitchen.
"Oh nothing just crying for no reason." I say.
"What are these?" he asks.
"Kai's college acceptance letters." Emma says.
"Really?" he asks and I nod. He looks over them and smiles at me. "Congrats sweetheart." he says kissing my head. "Which one?" he asks and I sigh.
"I'm not sure yet but I will soon." I say. "I'll be back in a few hours. I need to talk a walk." I say picking up the letters. I put them in a bag and then head out the front door to my car. I get in and drive to the beach.
When I get to the beach I just get out and walk. No where particular just walking. I think about college, my family, my friends, and Embry. Everything goes through my head and soon I have a decision on college. Lets just hope it's the right one.
Embry's point of view
I just got off patrol and head to the beach for a little. I pick up a familiar scent and follow it down the beach until I find Kai sitting on a piece of drift wood. She's looking out to the ocean with dried tears on her face. What's wrong?
"Kai?" I ask and she looks toward me.
"Embry." she says.
"Hey. What's wrong?" I ask sitting next to her.
"I..I've been thinking." she says and I frown. This doesn't sound good.
"About what?" I ask.
"Everything." she says. "My future. Our future." she says. "You know in a month I start college." she says and I nod slowly. "I got some letters today." she says and hands me two packets. I open them and see that they're acceptance letters from the University of Washington and the other from Alabama State University. Oh God! I look up to her and gulp. "ASU has a great teaching program, which is what I want to do. I want to teach." she says. I never knew this. "I love kids and want to teach them." she says and I nod. "But UW is close, two hours away. ASU is forty-two hours away." she says and I nod. "Embry you know I love you, I do with all my heart. And I want to be as close to you as possible but ASU is the best option for me." she says and my heart breaks.
"But it's on the other side of the country!" I yell standing up.
"Embry you have to understand! Please!" she begs standing up next to me.
"Kai I just can't, we can't, I..." I stutter. "I have to leave." I say handing her the papers and turning toward the forest.
"EMBRY!" she yells. "Embry come back!" she runs after me.
"Kai just leave me be! I need some time to think this through." I say.
"Embry you have to understand!" she begs pulling on my arm.
"You know what you have to understand!" I snap and she flinches. "You don't know how much pain this will cause me, cause us!" I yell and I see the tears pooling in her eyes."You don't understand at all Kai." I say.
"You know what you're being an unsupportive boyfriend!" she yells. "I thought you'd be happy that I got into ASU but no you're too worried about yourself! You don't care about what I want! I want to be a teacher and ASU will help me, not UW! But that doesn't matter to you. Do you honestly think this was easy for me to choose? I was battling myself with the decision! I want to be close to you Embry, I do! But now that I see this side of you I'm glad I'll be on the other side of the country!" she yells as tears stream down her face.
"Well I'm glad you'll be gone to! Then I won't have to be forced to love you!" I yell and her face falls. Oh crap! Did I just say that?
"You...I...I can't believe you just said that." she stutters.
"No Kai I..." I say going toward her.
"No!" she says putting her hand up. "Stay away from me!" she says.
"Kai listen!" I beg.
"No. Obviously you aren't happy with our relationship anymore Embry so you know what I'll make it easier on you, I'm leaving." she says.
"Kai wait..." I start but growls stop me. Leah comes out of the shadows with Seth beside her. Leah glares at me while she lowers herself to the ground so Kai can get on. Kai hops on and holds onto Leah's fur.
"Goodbye Embry." Kai whispers and my heart breaks.
"No Kai please wait!" I beg but Leah takes off. Dang it!
Kai's point of view
I can't believe Embry said that! I cry into Leah's fur as she and Seth run through the forest somewhere. I don't care where we go, as long as it's far from Embry. Emma was wrong. I was wrong, so wrong about Embry. I can't believe I actually fell for him! Gosh dad was right from the beginning. I just should have stayed away from him! I cry harder and Leah whines.
"Sorry Lee." I say and she slows down. Seth comes over to us and licks my face."Thanks Sethy." I say and he licks me again. "I'm better, please take me home." I say and Leah nods and continues to run.
Leah's point of view
I'M GOING TO KILL EMBRY ANTHONY CALL! I can't believe he said all those things to Kai!
"I'm with you Leah." Seth says. I can hear all the thoughts he has about Embry. I've never seen my brother like this before. But he loves his family and cares for them deeply so it kinda doesn't surprise me. When we get to uncle Mark's house I lower myself to the ground and Kai hops off.
"Thanks guys. See ya later." she mumbles and runs inside. We both phase back and head inside where we find our confused uncle and cousin.
"What happened to her?" Emma asks.
"Why was she crying?" uncle Mark asks.
"Embry." I growl and uncle Mark glares. I explain everything that went on and Emma starts to cry a little for her hear broken sister.
"I told her Embry would understand, I thought he would." she says.
"I thought he would to." I honestly say. A howl breaks through the forest and I sigh. "We have to go but we'll be back later." I say and Seth and I leave.
Emma's point of view
I can't believe Embry! My sister must be dying! Embry's so dead when I see him, well unless Leah kills him first which she probably will. After they leave I head upstairs while dad calms down, he's really angry.
"Kai?" I knock on her door.
"Please not now Emma." she whispers that I barely hear her.
"I just wanted to tell you I'm here for you." I say.
"I know, I just need some time to myself." she says.
"Okay. I love you sis." I say.
"Love you too." she says and goes quiet. I leave her and head into my room. I lay on my bed and some tears stream down my face for my sister. She's gone through too much and Embry's always been there for her but now he's the cause of this. I never thought in a million years he would have reacted that way. I mean ya I know it'll be hard because of the imprint bond but he should want the best for his imprint. Will Brady do the same thing when I leave for college? I don't think he would but I didn't think Embry would but he did. I grab a pillow and hold it against my chest. At times like these I wish mom was here. She'd help Kai feel better and everything would be fine tomorrow. But no she's not here and this isn't going to be resolved tomorrow. Why must we live in a supernatural world?!
