A.N. I can't believe we've reached the end of New Moon; tears are coming to my eyes. XD
I want to thank all of my readers of this story for sticking with me.
Olli tried to pull herself away from Embry only to be held in a tighter grip.
"Where do you think you're going?" He smiled as he held her closer; she smiled weakly then remembered the task at hand.
"Your mom's awake; I think it's time for me to go." She told him; he breathed in her scent and got more comfortable.
"Relax, it's like six thirty, she's just getting ready for work…. And if she comes in here…whatever." He told her; Olli smiled tiredly. Abandoning her earlier plans of running away or hiding in his closet, she turned in his grasp and snuggled her face into his chest; she had to admit that last night had been the best night sleep that she'd ever had. She didn't sleep that much anymore so this would tie her over for another three days or so if she ate well.
"I love you Embry." She told him before drifting off again…
Ollie awoke to the smell of bacon and sat up straight; Embry was no longer at her side so she pouted and sluggishly (which was still fast for human pace) got out of bed and trudged downstairs. There she found Embry….cooking…shirtless; she smiled.
"Hey." She told him as she sat down at the breakfast table.
"…Do you want me to help?" She asked; his body stiffened slightly and he let out a barked laugh. Olli groaned.
"Gah! Oh come on, does everyone know about that now?" She asked as she crossed her arms over her small chest; she should have known.
"Well yeah, we share a mind." He laughed; there was a sour note at the end of the sentence as he placed two eggs and a sausage on her plate. Olli cleared her throat before speaking,
"How's Jacob?" She asked him for the second time in the last two days; he placed her plate on the table while he sat down next to her.
"Jake's fine." He shrugged; he wasn't sure of the answer she was looking for. Olli thought about it for a moment… oh he hadn't phased yet.
"Why? Is there something wrong with him?" Embry asked; she shrugged sadly and her body slumped in the chair.
"I don't know; he kind of ran off last night… after Bella told him that they weren't gonna work… like ever. She was all, 'don't make me choose my love….coz it'll be him!'" She drawled in a terrible impression of Bella's voice; Embry exhaled.
"I really don't know how to deal with Jake… I don't think anyone does. Sometimes he can be secretive…. Even quieter than me." He told her; her eye brows furrowed.
"You're not quiet." She laughed; he smiled back.
"Not with you im not." He told her as he took a bite of one of his four sausages; Olli laughed at his goofiness.
She was about to say something when her phone began to vibrate; she pulled it out of her pocket and her eye brows furrowed. Since when does Charlie know how to text?
Call me when you get this -Dad
Olli chuckled; the whole point of texting is to abbreviate words.
"One second, I gotta call Charlie." She told Embry as she left the room and walked outside.
'Olive?'
Yeah dad it's me…. You wanted me to call?
'Yeah, where were you last night….and why aren't you at school?'
Oh school right; she had totally forgotten about that. Olli shifted her weight; should she tell him?... Well, he did say that honesty was always the best policy; plus he wouldn't do anything to Embry…. She wouldn't let him.
'I- I…. I stayed in La Push.'
'And where in La Push did you stay?'
Olli swallowed loudly and shifted again; in a flash, Embry was outside with his arms wrapped around her. He could always feel her discomfort; she inhaled his sleep ridden woodsy scent and pulled him closer before speaking.
'I stayed at Embry's.'
Her voice was so low.
'You stayed where?'
She flinched at his tone.
'I stayed at Embry's.'
She repeated even though she didn't need to; he had heard her very clearly.
'Olivia Swan, you get your ass back home right now!'
Charlie barked at her.
'Aye aye captain.'
She mumbled before terminating the call; she exhaled and took in Embry's scent before pulling away.
"I've gotta go…. As you heard." She mumbled as she pecked his lips with a pout.
"You want me to go with you?" He asked as he pulled her closer again; she shook her head into his chest.
"No, it's ok. It'll only make it worse… no offence." She grunted; he chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"I'll miss you." He told her as he nuzzled her neck; she whined and held him closer. She didn't want to leave now… but she had to.
"I miss you too… but I'll see you later, kay?" She told him with a sad smile; his jaw clenched as she turned and ran.
Olli stopped running as she arrived at her house; she knew that she probably looked a mess… that wouldn't help. She tried to straighten her clothes and fix her hair before pulling her chin up and walking into the house with her head held high in confidence.
She closed the door behind her and walked in warily; Charlie was sitting at the table twiddling his thumbs before turning to her and standing.
"What made you think you could stay the night at some guy's house on a school night without my permission...and miss school?" Charlie asked her; his voice was low but it didn't scare her one bit.
"He's not just some guy, he's my boyfriend." She corrected him as if it was the only thing that she heard.
"You could have called… you could have said something... Anything. You didn't have to sneak out!... And how could you just skip school?" He screamed at her; she flinched. Charlie had never been this vocal with her; she had totally forgotten about school and her classes. They weren't something that came to her mind often.
"Oh do me a favour and stop shouting, will yah Charlie? Im eighteen; Im legally free to do whatever I want…. Im not your little girl anymore… so stop treating me like her." Olli told him tiredly as she crossed her arms over her chest; Charlie exhaled and tried to calm down, she was right.
They were silent for a while,
"You've got mid-terms in two weeks time you know?" Charlie asked; Olli's eyes widened but she tried to keep it cool. Whoops, she didn't know.
"I know dad, I've been studying…. I know I've missed a lot of school but I won't fail." She told him, lying through her teeth; he exhaled and rubbed his forehead.
"I know you won't… because from now on you're grounded." Her eyes widened; he had to be kidding her.
"Are you serious?" She countered incredulously.
"Until mid-terms are over, you go straight to school and back home. On the weekends, you stay in and study." Charlie told her; Olli rubbed her hand over her face.
"But-.."
"No buts." Olli huffed and walked back out to the porch where she sat on a step and pulled out her phone.
Hey babe, you there? – O
He replied almost instantly.
Yeah, how'd things go with your dad x – E
Not so good….. – O
What do u mean? – E

She could literally hear him growling.
Grounded lyk a 6 yr old till tests r ovr. Gotta study x – O

She laughed at his suggestion.
No babe, I think he's kinda rite, I don't wanna fail – O
She waited and waited for a reply until finally it came.
K well, I'll miss u. Hit the books! Xxx – E
She laughed again.
K, I'll miss u 2 xoxo - O
Olli exhaled sadly and made her way back inside; Charlie was now sitting on the couch watching something.
"Im gonna change!" She screamed to him and huffed as she trudged upstairs into her bedroom and grabbed her red towel before going to the bathroom and stripping of her clothes. Her shower was slightly calming.
Olli hummed an unfamiliar tune as she threw on some random clothes, left the house and got on her bike; she exhaled when she smelled someone behind her.
"And where do you think you're going on that thing?" Charlie asked seriously as he walked down the stairs to examine the bike. Olli cursed under her breath, it had been here for the past few days…. although maybe he thought it belonged to one of the neighbours. She didn't get what the big deal was, she had a licence; she had gotten it way before she moved to Forks.
His eyes widened as he ran his fingers over it; it wasn't one of those home made excuses for a vehicle… it was an actual bike. A Harley Davidson no less.
"Olivia, where did you get this?" He looked up into her eyes; she swallowed thickly.
"It was a birthday gift…" She told him; his eyes widened. She had had it for that long.
"That doesn't answer the question." He told her as he crossed his arms over his chest. This was just great; why couldn't he just leave her to go on her merry way?
"From Nahuel… the person I was staying with when I left." She whispered; she almost burst into tears right there. It hurt to say his name. Charlie exhaled and had a feeling that she was lying but she wouldn't back down. If Charlie found out that the Cullens were back let alone got the bike for her, he'd have a fit. Not to mention ban her and Bella from going there ever again.
"Look Olive, I've never pressured you to tell me about what happened while you were gone…. But if you wanna talk about anything, you can talk to me." Her dad told her when he noticed the morose expression on her face; she exhaled and got off the bike to hug him. Charlie accepted it gladly.
"I love you dad." Olli whispered into his ear; he squeezed her tighter and let go.
"I love you too Olive." He told her as he backed away and went back inside. She smiled at his back one more time before throwing on her helmet and speeding off to High School.
…..
She looked around the familiar corridors and sighed; she really didn't want to be here. Olli pushed the door of her English class open and strolled in; most of the students looked up in interest. They hadn't seen the other swan in a while.
"Miss Swan, how nice of you to join us; I trust you had a good holiday?" Mr. Birdie called mockingly earning some sniggers from the class; Olli flopped in the seat in front of Bella and leaned back.
"It was alright thanks but it's good to be back." She smiled; more giggles erupted. She even joined in. He narrowed his eyes.
"Yes well we'll see how funny it is when you fail this class, shall we?" He told her; her smile faded and a round of 'oooo's erupted.
"Whatever." She told him; anymore and she would have been sent away. When he began to teach she moved her chair back a little.
"You okay?" She asked Bella; she noticed that her sister looked brighter now. Her skin was less pale and her face was not as drawn…. But she could still tell that she had some problems. Probably Jake problems. Bella nodded; Olli did the same to her then Edward and carried on listening to Mr. Birdie.
It was funny how she took in every single word that he said; every detail he gave sunk into her brain. She was sure that she would ace her finals if she took them now. Olli exhaled, leaned back and tried to get back into the routine of things.
Thoughts?
This was just a filler, I didn't want much action; I think they deserve a bit of a break for now.
