HEY ALL!

This chapter might upset some of you.
But right now I'm at a difficult part of the story!
ENJOY AND LOVE IT!
Tori

So long before
You stood so long
At my door
Abundantly you have asked
Is this everything that you hoped for?
Is this everything you've dreamed?
Well I'm not sure
I don't really need

"Well, well who is this Aya?" I heard from behind me.

I jumped up out of Embry's lap and turned to look at Marcus. He was standing in the doorway of the basement with his arms crossed. Embry stood up and put me behind him, like he thought that Marcus would hurt me. I grabbed Embry's hand and stood out from behind his back.

"This is Embry." I said my voice shaking.

"Is this him?" Embry asked saying him like it was poisoned.

"Yes Embry…"

Marcus came forward and stood behind the couch that we were standing in front of. He smirked at me and put his hands in his pockets.

"So why is he here?"

"He lives here."

"With us?"

"With me. You don't live here."

"I don't?"

"No."

"Then why have I been staying here? In bed with you?"

Embry let go of my hand and stepped away from me. I looked at his face and saw that it was filled with disgust. I gave him a pleading look and then turned back to Marcus.

"It's not like I wanted you here! Why do you think I block my mind from you? I can hardly stand to have you touch me!" I was screaming now, after I was done Marcus laughed.

"You will learn Aya."

Then he was gone, I didn't know if he ran or if he used the unknown power that my mother wrote about in her book. I sat back down on the couch and put my head in my hands. I felt a heavy, but nice arm rest on my shoulders.

"Aya, did you mean what you said to him?" Embry asked cupping my face in his hands turning my face to look at him.
"More than anything."

"Alright."

He looked like he was going to kiss me for a couple of seconds and the crazy fact was that I was ready for it. When he started leaning towards me and me towards him, my phone rang.

He jumped back and let go of my face and me. I did the same and picked up my phone. The Caller ID said it was Masen.

"Hello?"

"Aya, listen I'm sorry I can't take you out tonight. My little sister is sick and I have to watch her and take care of her."

"Oh that's okay. A friend from home…uhh I guess you could say popped in. I have to get him settled, he is living here now."

"Him?"

"A friend."

"Oh, well…alright. Talk to you later Aya, bye."

"Bye."

I hung up the phone and turned back to Embry who was staring off into space. Moments ago I almost kissed him, now I was more confused than ever on what I wanted. Embry or Quil? Quil or Embry?

"Who was that?"

"A friend calling to say that they can't take me out for my birthday tonight." Embry's head snapped up and a look of regret came onto his face. "You forgot my birthday?"

"OH AYA! I'M SO SORRY!"

"Em, it's okay. A lot is going on right now. I don't even think my uncle remembered it. It's fine."

He looked at like he was unsure, when I smiled he smiled back and hugged me. I really didn't blame him for forgetting, I wanted to forget myself. I stood up and walked over to the bookshelf. It was full of books, all my mothers, from her father.

Embry got up and tossed his arm around my shoulder.

"What are you thinking Aya?"

"I don't know. I guess about how I'm happy you're here so that he doesn't stay another night. So that someone I know and love is close by." His arm tightened around me, pulling me closer.

"Everyone will be here soon enough."

I nodded and rest my head against him I was too short to reach his shoulder. His stomach rumbled and I smiled. I took his hand and walked upstairs. I picked up the phone and dialed the local pizza restaurant. I ordered 2 large pizzas with everything on it. Embry sat and stared at the pictures like I did before the day started. When I hung up the phone I went and stood by him.

"How did your Aunt Penny die?"

"Really want to know?"

"Yah."

"Then come on."

I led him up the stairs and into my room. My mother's book was sitting on my desk. I picked it up and handed it to Embry who turned it over in his hands and began to read the back of the book.

"Your mother wrote this?"

"Yah, it has everything that ever happened to her and my family."

He sat down on the bed and opened the book and began to read it. I stood and stared for awhile not really sure what to do. He looked up at me and smiled after awhile.

"Come and read it with me."

"I've already read it."

"Soo…."

I laughed and crawled into the bed. I sat next to him, he curled his arm around my waist and held the book with both hands so that it was in the middle of us. He read it out loud his rough, but some how soft voice in my ear. When the pizza came I got up and answered the door.

I grabbed paper plates, 4 cokes, and napkins and ran upstairs with the pizzas. We ate on my floor sitting across from each other. My conversation I had with Quil seemed like it was ages away. We didn't say anything for awhile, just sat there together, really not needing to say anything.

"So what did my brother say to you?" He asked before taking another bite of pizza. I choked on the drink of pop I had in my mouth and coughed. "That bad?"

"Well mostly he told that he thought I was lying to him in my letter and that he regretted ever agreeing to talk to me. I don't know he sounded like he hated me Em…"

"There isn't much I can say that would make you feel better, but what I'm about to say to you is going to make you feel worse." I looked at him, I was confused and he could tell. "I'm glad that my brother said those things to you, I'm glad that I found you crying in the basement…"

"Excuse me?" I didn't know how to feel about this, he liked to see me hurting?

"Aya, I would have never been able to hold you like that if your weren't in need of someone. I would have never been able to get close to you like that if you didn't need me right then and there. Aya there is a reason I'm here."

"What are you saying Embry?"

It felt like time slowed and the Earth had stopped moving. Everything was in slow motion, the way Embry sat down his pizza and shifted his gaze so that his eyes were looking straight into mine. They way he moved all the things between us so that he could get on his knees and cup my face in his hands.

"Aya I have been in love with you for as long as I can remember."

So in this hour
Everything I do
Will be all for this moment
Everything's for you
My heart is open
And will end
So take it

DON'T HATE ME!
I really don't know who to choose!
EMBRY OR QUIL!
AHHHH!
