Chapter 3
Everyone else pretty much had the same reaction when I told them about April. They were happy, as expected, and I was too.
That night when I got home I went straight to my room and bent down to my bedside drawer. After shifting through the pile of clutter I found my idly used phone. One Missed Call. Excellent. I saved the number under her name. She was the first person in my contact list. That made me smile.
I laid down on my worn mattress and closed my eyes, ambling into a deep sleep.

I awoke to the earsplitting slam of my door being violently thrown open. My mother stood in the doorway, her eyes sad.
"Oh, your actually here." She said with a shaky and cracked voice. She let out a humorless laugh. "You're never here."
I wiped the sleep out of my eyes and sat up "I'm sorry ma, about everything, but you wouldn't understand." I said sadly. It was the truth. She wouldn't understand.
"But-" she began, but I cut her off.
"I've got to go. I really am sorry, ma." I felt bad always leaving her like this but I was needed. I got up and grabbed my phone, in case April called. As I passed her I kissed her cheek and looked into her dark eyes. "I love you, ma."
She didn't say anything
--
"Um… hello? If she isn't calling you then just call her." Quil said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
It had been two days. We both had the morning off because we had been out running most of the night. We were sitting in Sam and Emily's living room talking and waiting for Jake, Collin and Seth to get done so we could do something. April hadn't called.
"Well, I don't want to come off as stalker-ish or, like, desperate." I replied.
"But, aren't you?" Quil questioned. "Desperate, I mean." He had a point.
"Yeah." I sighed and leaned my head back "I guess I am."
"Just tell her right away. The next time you see her, tell her about us, everything. Tell her what she is to you." Quil suggested.
Wow. That's not a bad idea.
"I think I might actually do that. Thanks Quil, really." I said sincerely.
"No problem, bro."

I was pacing the diameter of a small clearing I had found in the woods. My phone was in my hand, her number was dialed, and I just had to call. God, why am I so nervous?
I lifted up the phone for what could have been the tenth time in five minutes. I held it at arms length, like it had some disease, and pressed the green button that would call.
Ring Ring Ring Ring.
I was about to hang up when…
"Hello?" a soft, timid voice came through the receiver. I was slightly surprised so it took me a minute to answer.
"Oh! Hi. April? It's Embry, we met at the beach a few days ago." It sounded more like a question.
"Of course. Embry, hello. Um… can I help you?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah. I know this is kind of weird because we hardly met but I have to tell you something." I bit my lip.
"Okay… shoot."
"Um… it would be better in person. It's really important." I pushed.
"Oh. Well, that's fine, I guess. Sure. Do you want to meet somewhere?" she seemed unsure
"Yes! How about at the spot where we met at the beach the other day." I suggested.
"Sure, that will work. I can be there in about fifteen minutes." She seemed sort of excited. Yes!
"That's perfect. Thank you so much" I was ecstatic. I would finally get to see her again.
That was all I could think about
I thought about what I could do in fifteen minutes. I should probably change and put on a shirt…
Yeah, I'll do that.
I phased and began running home. When I got there I snuck through my bedroom window because my mom was home and I didn't want to disturb her. Or get grounded again. I went to my drawer and grabbed out a pair of tan shorts and a dark blue polo and put them on. I looked my self over in the mirror. It will have to do.
Once I was back out through the window I checked the time again. 5 minutes. Perfect. I began to walk towards the beach. It wasn't far from my house so I would be okay. The sun was out more than usual, but I figured it was no warmer.
As I entered the break in the woods that lead to the sandy beach, I became more nervous.
What if she doesn't accept me? Or she's afraid? I figure I'll have to tell her about vampires too. Maybe she should meet the Cullens… Yeah, I decided, if she's okay with what I am, she might even like the Cullens, they are nice. She would have to meet Renesmee anyway.
I was so deep in thought that I almost didn't notice how close I was to where she was standing. Her back was facing me, her hair blowing lightly in the breeze. As if feeling my presence she turned around. I got lost, once again, in her green orbs. I smiled unconsciously.
She walked up the rest of the way to reach me and stopped a foot or two away.
"So, you said you had to tell me something?"
