A/N: Hey everyone! I'm back and ready to write you all another chapter! This is my only story I haven't finished so I'm devoting a bunch of time to it now! But I am planning on writing more and you'll hear about that at my end of chapter A/N. enjoy! Let's pick up where we left off shall we?

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Twilight, but my hero already owns it. Thank goodness for Stephanie Meyer.

Embry POV: I was ripping apart my dresser drawers trying to find something decent to wear. If we were going to have a bonfire with Bella I needed to look my best. I wanted to impress her. But nothing I had just screamed… impressive. God I sound like a girl!

Two seconds later I heard my idiot best friend laughing his butt off behind me. Jerk.

"Dude, what in the name of Taha Aki are you doing? It's just Bella."

"Just Bella?" I said incredulously. "She is not just Bella. She is an angel and she deserves the best. Jacob didn't give her that and Edward sure as heck didn't give her that. I want to be the one to give her the very best she deserves."

"And giving her the very best involves you looking like you're from the nineteenth century getting all dressed up to go to the beach? Come on man, it's Bella. You know she doesn't like it when people go all out for her. Just be you. She'll like you just fine if it's just you being you. Trust me on that."

I had never heard Quil say anything so deep. However true that was, there was still a part of me telling me not to take his advice about girls. "Are you sure? I'm sorry I'm kind of nailing into you about this but I really like her. I've never felt this way. And I have no idea what to say or do and I just don't want to mess it up."

He clapped me on the shoulder. "Trust me, Em. This time I know what I'm saying. Just trust me and everything will go just fine between you and Bells later."

"Okay… but if this backfires on me I am never ever going to forgive you or take your advice again."

He laughed at me. "Deal."

With that being said, I decided on my Khaki shorts and a green t-shirt. I was trying to find a good angle to flip my hair at, wondering which she would like better on me.

Quil finally ended up just dragging me down to my room to go and eat lunch before we went and met Bella. And hopefully, today would be the day I worked up the courage to tell Bella exactly how I felt about her.

Bella POV: I was tearing apart my closet. Why did I have to hate shopping? If I didn't then maybe I wouldn't be worried so much about not having something decent to wear! I mean, I know it was just a day at the beach with Embry and Quil. But it was because Embry would be there that I was freaking out.

I mean Embry was… amazing and I was… well… me. There was a knock on my bedroom door and in came Leah Clearwater.

Leah and I were friends when we were younger but we had gotten close again recently. Me, her, Jacob, and her brother Seth had all been like family. But Leah knew what it was like to be abandoned because of Sam's band of jerks. So we had bonded over that. Now she was here to help me.

"What about this one, B?" she asked me, holding up a flowery sundress that Alice had bought for me.

The thought of Alice didn't bother me so much anymore. And neither did the thought of Edward. All I remembered was that Edward hadn't liked this dress when we got it. And that made me love it even more.

"That one's perfect," I smiled.

"Great. We'll put it on after I crimp your hair and do your makeup."

As we waited for the crimping iron to heat up she sat down next to me and asked, "So, Embry Call huh?"

I blushed. "How did you know that? I never told you."

She rolled her eyes. "Because he's all you've talked about to me the past few days. Everything out of your mouth is 'Embry this and Embry that'. It's impossible not to notice. I like him, though. He's a good guy. Nothing like Sam. I doubt he'd ever leave you."

"I wish I knew if you were right. I'm not even sure he likes me that way."

"Oh, please," Leah scoffed. "You two are exactly alike. You're both shy, kind, sweet, stubborn, smart, you both like books and movies, and you guys are just… perfect for each other."

"Yeah, I hope so," I sighed.

She gave me a hug. "It'll all work out, B. Take your best friend's word for it."

And then two hours later… we were all finished and I looked and felt better than I ever thought I had.

"Leah Clearwater… you are a miracle worker."

She laughed at me. "Well… I try."

"No seriously… thank you. I never would've looked this way right now if it weren't for you." I gave her a hug. "You're the best best friend ever."

"I know I am. Now you better get on out of here before you miss your plans with Quil and Embry. I hope you get up the nerve to tell Embry how you feel later."

"Me too. Thanks Leah."

"No problem. I'll drive you down there."

Fifteen minutes later, Leah dropped me off in front of Embry's house and I rang the doorbell as soon as she drove off.

Quil opened the door and smiled. "Hey Bells! You look awesome. Let's walk down. Em! Bella's here, let's go!"

About a moment later Embry rounded the corner and locked eyes with me. His jaw dropped to the floor.

A/N: hahaha cliffy! It won't be a long wait maybe tomorrow or the day after at the latest and we'll have the bonfire chapter! It could've been now… just like to antagonize sometimes. Anyway, like I said earlier I'm either going to write a Jasper/Bella or Seth/Bella for my new story. You have to vote on the poll, no leaving it in a review! Speaking of reviews… review and I'll write chapter six as fast as I can! Love you guys!

Thanks for Reading!
