A great big thanks to my followers! :)

Through out the next week Quil and I visited Jake and helped him fix the bikes. Melissa joined as often as she could which was about twice a week. It was irritating me more and more that she had to work and learn so much. I was even angry at one point. Which is strange considering I'm a very quiet person. I wasn't quite sure why it was affecting me differently than usual.

I gripped the steering wheel tighter at the thought of my annoying mood swings. If I didn't start calming down I might just lash out at someone.

We were one our way to Jake's house once again. Quil was sitting in the passenger seat and Melissa was seated in the back behind Quil. No one said anything. I would have started a conversation but I wasn't sure if I could control my temper. I was already gripping the steering wheel hard enough for my knuckles to turn white and I didn't know why. It was seriously starting to bother me.

I drove up the small pathway beside the house and turned off the engine. Before going to the shed we greeted Billy, Jake's father, and gave him some groceries we had picked up at the store. Jake didn't always have time to buy them especially now that he was working on the motorbikes so I had offered to get them on the way over. As I gave them to Billy he thanked me and rolled his wheelchair over to the fridge where he started putting in the bought items.

I walked out through the back door of the house, holding the door open for Quil and Melissa. As we went over to the shed it started raining again. Melissa put up her hoodie while Quil protected his head with his arms. I watched the two unfazed by the droplets. I hardly noticed them. What did bother me though was the loud splashes they made when they hit the floor. They were much louder than I was used to. It was really strange.

"Do you think Bella knows how much time Jake is spending on fixing those things?" Quil asked getting my attention. I shrugged but Melissa answered "I don't know. Has she come over anytime?" "I haven't seen her, yet." I said seeing her frown in disapproval at Bella's lack of appearances. "I don't even know what she looks like." Quil added "maybe she's hot." He said suggestively and wiggled his eyebrows.

I looked over at Melissa. She was walking in front of me so I couldn't see her face. For some reason I was annoyed at that. A few moments later she looked over her shoulder and caught me staring. I didn't look away. "Embry, are you alright?" she asked concerned. I blinked confused "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" She watched me another two seconds before shaking her head "No reason."

Quil opened the large door to the shed and let Melissa in first before following. I walked in after them and was met with the sight of Jake and a girl. She seemed uncomfortable with us there. She made to get up but Jake stopped her "It's okay. It's just my guys." He got up nodding to us while saying "Guys, this is Bella." He turned back towards Bella "Bella, this is Quil, Embry and Melissa." We all greeted each other and Quil, being who he is, shamelessly started flirting with her.

"So the bike-building-story's true." Quil observed when Bella didn't respond. "Oh yeah. Yeah. I taught him everything he knows." Bella answered confidently. "What about the part where you're his girlfriend?" Quil asked using the opportunity. "Ehm." Bella said shifting in her spot "We're friends, you know." Jake looked as though he would to die of embarrassment any second.

I chuckled "Uh, burn." Jake tried to save himself "Remember I said she's a girl and a friends?" He was looking at Melissa for help but Quil turned to me before she got the chance to say anything "Embry, do you remember him making that distinction?" "Nope." I was going to add more though I didn't when I saw Melissa's pleading expression. When I shut my mouth again she smiled at me in thanks.

"So you guys have girlfriends. That's awesome." Bella came to Jake's rescue. Jake relaxed immediately and laughed seeing Quil look at the floor. "Yeah right. Quil's actually taking his cousin to prom." Jake took advantage of the newly found situation.

I was glad he didn't say anything about me. It shouldn't have surprised me though since he knew better than to mention my feelings for Melissa in front of anyone other than myself. I glanced at her and saw she was looking at Bella with a rather angered expression. Most likely it had to do with Bella being far to comfortable joking about relationships seeing as she was apparently heartbroken and Jake was doing anything to make her feel better. I wasn't liking Bella too much myself but Melissa was definitely more protective over her friends than I was. Something I hoped she prided herself in.

"Yeah that's still alright." Quil retorted. When Jake didn't drop it Quil said "You want funny Black? I'll give you funny." He said attacking Jake jokingly. I moved over to Melissa "Five bucks on Quil." She looked at me the smile returning to her face "You're on." I knew she was going to win the bet but seeing her smile at me was worth it.
