As soon as I entered the house, I knew that I was in trouble. 'What now?' I thought, amused. Sam was sitting alone at the kitchen table, Emily had made herself scarce. Sam nodded for me to sit down, which I did quickly. No need to make the guy any madder then I had too. Taking a sip of his coffee, he cleared his throat and began.

"I know Embry stayed the night with you last night" he said, looking me in the eyes

I nodded, looking down at my hands that were resting on the table, So that is what this is about.

"Hannah" he said calmly, reaching for my hands "Look at me"

I looked up, nervously

"Nothing happened, Sam" I said, searching his guarded eyes. "We talked, that's it"

"You are only 16" he said "it's not smart for you to have a boy sleep in the same bed as you"

"Sam, really?" I looked at him, getting angry "Embry and I are friends, nothing more. If he would have tried anything, I would have yelled for you or one of the other guys to get him to leave." I looked back down at my hands, forcing myself to continue "I can't explain it, Sam. Embry…he…was comforting me, almost" I shook my head, clearly not able to get my feelings out "I've been having these …dreams…lately. Really scary dreams, and when he was there last night, I didn't have one. It was nice to not have one. I actually slept."

Sam nodded, looking at me, taking in every thing I had told him. He took a minute before he continued "Embry isn't allowed into your room, any longer" he said, taking another sip of coffee "you two are to stay in the living room or kitchen when he is here"

I looked up to him, raising my eyebrow. 'Yes, Father' I thought, but bit my tongue. Laughter followed by a crash through the front door ended our discussion. Quill, Jared, Paul and Jacob came barreling through the door. Emily reappeared and started making supper. I looked to Sam, to see if I was allowed to get up from the table. With a slight nod of his head, he 'excused' me. I rose and went to my room. Trying to concentrate on homework that night wasn't going well. I laid on my bed, thinking of Embry and how much trouble he had to be in, figuring Sam ripped him a new one. A knock on my door took me out of my thoughts. "Hannah" Sam said through the door "We are eating"

"Coming" I said, closing my history book and throwing it on the floor. That was enough of that, I wasn't going to study anymore tonight.

After dinner and dishes, Jacob said he had to get Bella back to Forks. I looked to Jacob and pulled him aside. "Jake, can I ride with?" I asked, "I need to get out of here for a little bit, plus, I haven't seen Forks yet"

Jake looked at me, questioningly. "Please, Jake" I pleaded, "I'll be good" I added, crossing my heart. He chuckled, "not up to me" he said, nodding his head towards Sam "Go ask him"

I groaned, thinking this would never work. Walking up to Sam, I leaned down to his ear "Can I go with Jake to bring Bella home?" I looked at Sam, giving him my best sad puppy dog eyes. Sam looked up and over to Jake, as if mentally 'talking' to him. Satisfied, Sam nodded to me "Fine" he said to me and I smiled, hugging him. I ran to my room, getting my jacket and gloves. Jake and Bella waited for me at the door and I flung my boots on and followed them out the door.

The ride to Bella's was a tense one, with only the radio making noise. A few times I swear I saw something fly by Jake's car.

"Did you guys see that" I said, turning around and looking out the back windows. Jake and Bella both shrugged, not saying anything and kept looking forward. We pulled into Bellas' dad's place and Jake turned the ignition off. "Stay here, Hannah" he said, getting out of the car and walking over to Bella's door. Bella got out before Jake reached it and started walking to her door. I reached for the handle to climb into the front seat when I looked up again and there was another guy standing between Bella and Jake. 'What the…" I thought, climbing out of the car. The guy looked back at me and I froze. This guy was creepy. "Jake?" I asked, afraid. "Get back in the car" he ordered, not taking his eyes off the mystery guy. I did, only because I was creeped out by how pale and just…creepy this guy was. I watched as the two of them got into it, yelling back and forth and Bella was stuck in the middle. I almost felt bad for her…almost. Something about that guy made me realize that he isn't someone to tango with. God I wished Embry was here.

I looked between the two guys, as if there were something going to happen and then watched as the creepy guy looked past the car and notice someone coming up the driveway. I looked into the rear view mirror and sighed in relief.

Embry.

I immediately felt tons better. He stopped outside of my door, not going a step further. I knew then why he was here, and couldn't help but roll my eyes. A few more heated words said between the two guys and Bella's dad had came out and broke the two guys up. Jacob looked at Embry, a silent conversation again and Jake took off running. Wait…what?

Bella and her dad went inside, leaving the guy and Embry outside. Embry managed to walk around the car, never taking his eyes off the guy and open the drivers side door. He sat down and started the car. Embry pulled the car out of the driveway and back towards home. I couldn't keep my eyes off Embry. I was so mad at him for disappearing on me, leaving me with Sam's anger. "Where is Jake?" I asked, getting no response. "Who was that guy?" I tried again, yet to no avail. Getting frustrated, I tried again.

"Damn it, Embry! Answer me!" He looked over at me, sadness in his eyes. "Where were you?" I asked one final time. I couldn't keep the hurt out of my voice. Embry signed, and cautiously reached for my hand. I took his, just wanted to feel if he was really there or if I was dreaming.

"I'm sorry" he said, flicking his eyes from the road to me, and back again "Sam gave me orders that I had to follow"

"Sam did?" I asked, "What kind of orders"

"I can't say" he said quietly, turning into Sam's driveway. "Embry, please" I said, holding onto his hand tighter "Don't leave yet" I couldn't explain it, but a part of me needed him. He has me, hook line and sinker

Embry cut the engine and turned towards me. He took my face into his rather large hands and placed a kiss on my forehead. "I'm sorry" he said again, "I have to go"

"Embry!" I called, a tear forming. I was crying?

He turned sadly, opened the door and exited the vehicle. I quickly followed him. "Where are you going?" I demanded my heart breaking as he walked away.

"Go inside" he said, not turning around. I shivered but stood my ground. Embry paused for a minute and then took off running, I watched through the now setting sunlight that he shifted into his wolf form.

I leaned against the car door, tears flowing freely. My heart sank deeper and deeper.

I didn't hear Sam yell at me to come inside, or feel him shake my arm, but I did feel him pick me up and I snapped out of it.

"PUT ME DOWN!" I yelled, furiously.

"You HAD to push him away!" I screamed, top of my lungs, at Sam. "DIDN'T YOU!" I leaned back and punched Sam, as hard as I could, in his shoulder. "OW!" I yelled, gripping my swelling hand. 'That's going to be bruised' I thought quickly, before turning my thoughts back to Sam.

Sam reached for my hand, trying to look at it but I snatched it away. "Stay away from me, your just ruining my life!" I seethed, turning around towards the house. I pushed past all the guys who gathered outside to watch my little freak out session and I stormed to my room, slamming it for good measure.

Sam was making my life a living hell.

I woke up the next morning, thanking God it was Saturday. No school. I stayed in my room and cleaned it. When I couldn't ignore my stomach growling any longer, I got dressed and went into the kitchen. The house was bare. Thank heavens!

I poured myself some cereal and ate quickly. After cleaning up after myself, walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch, turning the tv on.

Quickly scanning the channels, with nothing good to watch I turned it off and went into my room. Flipping on the small radio in my room, I channel surfed until I found the oldies rock station. I listened to that, thinking of my dad and his love of the music. What was going on with me? Feeling very hot and tired, I laid down on my bed and fell asleep.

Something didn't feel right.

What was happening to me?


::A/N::

One good thing about being sick, is that I have time to write some chapters. I'll probably be posting the next one in a couple days, at the very latest. Any typos or punctuation errors are my fault. I am still looking for someone to Beta for me, No luck so far. If you know anyone, give me a shout and I'll be forever grateful.

**I actually had this chapter done like...two weeks ago, but wasn't letting me post it. kept getting error messages as I tried to. *shakes fist*

If your wondering, this is set sometime between New Moon and Eclipse.
