HEY THERE!

I hope you all liked the last chapter!
Stacie did! HAHA!

ENJOY

When you look me in the eyes
Tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes

I'm not sure what my face looked like, Embry was still holding my face, waiting for me to say something. I could tell he was getting more nervous when I took more time to say anything.

But I couldn't say anything, Embry has always been there, on the side never really saying anything, never really talking. Sure we were close in so many ways, that happens when you have known each other since the day you were born.

But Embry, was something more now in my eyes, the real him came through. Looking closely there were differences between him and Quil, just not their eyes. I found myself liking Embry's soft gray eyes more than Quil's golden eyes.

"Aya?" His voice was shaky and unsure.

I put my hands on the collar of his shirt and tugged him forward hard, his lips met mine without really having to lead them. He seemed surprised at first, but quickly snapped out it and molded his lips on to mine.

They moved perfectly with mine, they were smooth and warm. His kiss was nothing like Quil or Marcus's. Embry's made me feel something that I could never put into words, the way he rubbed my cheeks softly with his fingers, the way he softly grabbed the back of my neck with his other hand, putting his thumb on my pulse.

I didn't want to stop kissing him, but I knew we both had to stop for air. So when we pulled away I climbed into his lap and cuddled into his chest. He circled me with his arms and pulled me closer.

I could feel his heart beat against my cheek beating wildly. I smiled and began to trace it with my fingers. I could feel him smiling into my hair.

"Why didn't you ever tell me Embry?"

"You were in love with my brother."

"No, I don't think I ever was. I just thought I was because he was the only one to show that kind emotions towards me, I lacked so much of it from my mother that I took it from the first person that I could. I think that's what happened with Marcus too. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming my mother for all of this."

He cupped my chin in his hands and brought my face up so that I was looking into his eyes. He kissed my lips softly and I smiled against his lips. Why was this so simple with Embry?

"Your amazing." He said in a voice so unlike his normal tone, it was filled with so much love and trust that I felt guilt for never noticing him before.

"As are you." I touched his face lightly with my fingers, he closed his eyes at my touch.

I wanted to sit like this forever, but of course something had to happen right as I got ready to give Embry another kiss. There was a noise from downstairs making Embry and I both go still.

"Aya? Are you here?" Isabel called from downstairs.

I looked up at Embry my eyes wide with shock. Isabel was here and by the sound of it she wasn't alone. I detached myself from Embry and made my way to my door to go downstairs.

I flew down the stairs and into the kitchen, but of course I didn't make the entrance I wanted. When I flew into the kitchen my foot got caught on doorway to the kitchen and I went flying to the floor, taking down someone with me.

"AHHH!" I smacked my already bruised cheek on the table and then who ever went down with me in the side with my knee. "MY FACE! MY FUCKING FACE!"

The bruise still hurt and the knocking it on the table made it no way near better than it already was. I had tears going down my cheeks when I turned to see who I took down with me. My eyes fell on Edward who was clutching his side in pain.

"EDWARD! Are you alright?" Isabel came running towards her son knocking me back on to my back in the process.

Hadrian was standing where he was when I came in, well flew in, staring at my face. I covered my cheek with my hand and felt hands pick me up and put me on my feet. I turned and smiled at Embry who smiled back and stood closely to me.

"I'm fine mom. Why don't you check on Aya? She got the worst of it, I heard her face smack on the table." Edward shoved his mom off of him gently and got up on his feet his hand still on his side.

"I'm sorry about that Edward, my foot got caught on the wall and I lost my balance." I said quickly.

"Aya, I'm fine, you never had the best balance anyways." He laughed and came forward to hug me.

I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back. I could feel Embry sift awkwardly behind me. Finally Edward let go of me smiling, but soon the smile faded when his eyes fell on my cheek.

I put my hand over it and turned so that he couldn't see it, I was sure that it looked worse now that I smacked it on the table at such a force my jaw was still tingling. I was hoping it would stop soon. I was still hungry.

"We brought Edward here to live with you. We think it would be better if he stays here, the kingdom isn't a good place to be right now." Isabel said not even bothering to look at me.

"Has something else happened at the kingdom?" I asked still looking sideways at Isabel, she hadn't seen the bruise clearly yet. I wasn't sure if she even seen it. Hadrian was still looking at my face trying to see my cheek again.

Isabel wouldn't look straight at me, she was looking down at her hands and messing with her fingers. I knew it was something that she did when she was nervous about something. I went over and grabbed her hands and looked her straight in the eyes, forgetting about my cheek for awhile.

"Isabel what is going on back home? Is there something wrong with my mother? TELL ME!"

"Your mother had a melt down about your father, she let go of all the guilt and regret of all the things she did the last 15 years. It caused her great pain, your uncle started to feel it. So he connected his power with hers and made her a sleeping beauty. She won't wake until your father comes home."

Everyone was quiet looking at me, waiting for me to utter even a sound. But I stared at Isabel not sure what to say, it felt like a rope was closing around my throat cutting off my oxygen, I was sure I wasn't breathing and I was right when Embry came up from behind me and rubbed my arms.

"Breath Aya, breath."

I took a deep breath and shook my head. My brain started working and I was finally able to take in what Isabel had told me. My mother was a sleeping beauty, never to wake until my father got home, if he came home. But he promised me that he would.

I turned to Hadrian and ran over to him, ripping my hands free of Isabel. Hadrian has always been my favorite out of everyone, he was easy going and smart. Sometimes he acted like a five year old.

"Hadrian, my dad is in the states, you can call off the searches. And he promised he would go home, he said he would. I swear, I'm not lying I saw him today, at the school, he said he was just trying to remember my mother like she used to be!"

I was frantic, when I was done I noticed that Hadrian's shirt was crutched up in my fists. I felt Embry take my hands into his and loosened my hold. I let myself fall into Embry and let him carry me to the living room and set me onto the couch.

"Aya, we are going to leave, tell them to call off the searches. Edward we are going to leave. We love you son, we really hope you will be happy here."

I heard them kiss Edward, but I could feel his eyes on me the whole time. I was clutching a pillow and looking straight ahead the whole time.

I didn't know what was wrong with me, maybe it was just the fact that maybe my father may never go home and my mother would never wake up at all. I would never be able to fix my problems with her, I would never be able to tell her that maybe we could fix everything and have the mother and daughter relationship that I always wanted to have with her.

"Aya? Honey? Are you alright?" I felt Embry pick me up and curled me into his lap. My head was under his chin again and I pressed my ear to his beating heart.

"Aya…WOAH!" I heard Edward stop with a sudden step. I opened my eyes and looked at him.

His eyes are wide with shock and they were moving back to Embry and then me. Then his shocked expression soon faded off his face and was replaced with a smile.

"FINALLY EMBRY YOU MADE THE MOVE!"

I looked at Edward for a few moments to see what he meant, but he just stared at us with a wide grin on his face. I look at Embry to see if he got it, but he looked just as confused as I felt.

"What are you talking about Edward?" Embry asked trying to get what Edward was saying, I mean if I didn't see it and then how would Edward see it? If Edward saw it who else did?

"Embry I've known that you've had a crush on Aya since like we were 12 and she got her strength and put you in a headlock."

"How did you know? I didn't even know!" I said getting frustrated was I the only one that didn't know? Did Stacie know?

"Well you see when Embry thought no one was looking he would look at you with these like lovey dovey eyes that put the way Quil looked at you in shame. Stacie even saw it. We would always talk about how long it would take for you to see it."

"But Stacie always told me I loved Quil! WHAT THE FUCK!"

"Stacie told you that because Embry told her too." Edward said turning away from Embry who was now glaring at Edward.

I jumped up with my hands on my hips and stared at Embry with what I hoped looked like a very hurt look. I mean all this time I thought I loved Quil because people told me that I did, yet I don't think I loved him at all.

"Embry DeGray! WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?" I threw up my hands and stomped my foot at the same time. Edward started laughing so hard he had actually fallen to the floor clutching his side. "Edward this is so not funny!"

"Yes…Yes…it…is!" This some how got him into another fit of laughs.

I rolled my eyes and turned back to Embry waiting for his answer. But when I looked at him I felt bad for yelling, he was looking at me with puppy dog eyes and it looked like he actually felt bad.

"OH! I forgive you!" I hugged his waist since I couldn't really reach his shoulders from where I stood. Embry laughed and hugged me back.

Edward finally stopped laughing and wiped his eyes off, he actually laughed himself to tears. I rolled my eyes at him and ran back upstairs. I was hungry.

Edward and Embry came upstairs and ate pizza with me, we talked about back at home. That was when Edward started telling us about his fight with Stacie and the breakup I thought would never happen.

Edward face was distant as he told us what was said between them and how he believed that they would never get back together, nothing was there anymore, he wasn't sure if he could fall back in love with Stacie if he fell out of love with her so fast.

Then the issue of where Edward was going to sleep until we could get Penny or Ruby's room more guy like for Edward came up. Edward smiled wickedly and looked at us.

"I really don't like that look you have on Edward, what are you thinking?" I asked sipping my coke and cuddling into Embry's side.

"Well since you guys are an item, I'm taking Embry's room!" He was up in flash and down the hall before Embry could chase after him, I laughed as they wrestled and when Edward got Embry in a headlock and made him scream Uncle.

Embry came back over to me looking very embarrassed. I smiled at him and kissed him on the lips gently, Edward gagged before going into his room and shutting his door.

Embry helped me pick up the now empty pizza boxes and coke cans. We took them downstairs and stood in the kitchen for awhile. I could hear Edward getting into bed and finally when he fell asleep. I turned to Embry to see that he was already looking at me.

"So are you okay with sleeping with me or do you want me to sleep on the couch?" I asked him, looking down at my feet, I was starting to lose myself when ever I looked into his eyes.

"No I'll sleep on the couch. Then you can sign me and Edward up for school tomorrow."

"Alright."

I walked into the hallway and got out a pillow and some blankets. I walked down into the basement where Embry was sitting on the couch, his eyes drooping slightly. He smiled when I walked over and placed his pillow under his head before it actually hit the couch. I pulled the blanket over him and got ready to leave when his arms circled my waist and pulled me down on top of him.

"I'll dream about you." He whispered, I smiled and started to blush.

"Then I'll meet you there." I kissed his lips, but wanted more so I pressed harder.

He did the same tangling his hands in my hair as I grabbed his shirt in my fists. He lined my lips with his tongue before finally meeting mine.

I was forgetting to breathe and my head was swirling. I never knew you could feel this way by simply kissing someone. It was like a whole new world to me, a world I wanted to live in for the rest of my existence.

I pulled away from Embry and smiled. When he looked into my eyes my heart beat like crazy and I never wanted him to let me go.

"Go to bed sleepy head. I'll make you pancakes in the morning." I kissed his lips again and sat up, not trusting my legs to support me yet.

"Alright. I love you Aya."

"I love you too."

I stood up and stumbled a bit, Embry laughed and I blushed. I hurried upstairs and to my room. I washed off my make-up and brushed my teeth. The whole time I had a goofy smile on my face that simply wouldn't go away.

When I was done in the bathroom I went back into my bedroom and took off my clothes from the day. I stood in my boy style underwear for awhile before just deciding that I was just going to wear a tank top and underwear to bed. I pulled off my bra and threw it onto my desk. I pulled on a white tank top and crawled into bed.

I stared off into the darkness for awhile, before flipping over onto my stomach. Another five minutes passed so I moved to my side, I just couldn't get comfortable. I flipped back onto my stomach and closed my eyes.

The bed sifted a little bit and I felt a familiar arm pull me close. I smiled to myself before I felt my dreams engulf me.

But soon I would wish I was awake because when I closed my eyes my mother was waiting for me.

When I hold you in my arms
I know that it's forever
I just gotta let you know
I never wanna let you go

I know it's not much, I'm sorry.
