Embry's friend Jake told me that he could fix my car really cheap since he knew the owner. I thanked him and we started to pack up my things, well the boys packed them up. When they were done, Embry helped me into his truck and we started driving back to his, well our house now. I can't believe how much has happened to me in these few days.
"So Leann, I usually eat dinner at my friends' place. Do you wanna go with me? You can meet the rest of the gang." He asked me after we carried all my things back into the house.
"Sure, what time. Because I have to get ready." I told him. He smiled and told me I had about an hour. I decided I would attempt to take a bath and then wash my hair in the sink.
About and hour and a half later I hobbled out of the bathroom ready to go. Embry smirked at me. "Dang I am hoping this won't be a reoccurring thing." He said with a laugh.
"You try taking a bath with one leg hanging out of the tub, and then washing your hair in the sink. It's not the easiest thing to do." I told him, with a smile to let him know I was playing around.
When we got to his friends' house he helped me out of the car. "Hey don't stare at Emily's scars, it upsets Sam." He told me before we walked inside. I saw Jake sitting on a couch with two other boys watching some game.
"Hey everyone sorry we are late." Embry said, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. "Someone had to take an hour and a half to get ready." He explained, nudging my arm. I could feel my face, heating up. Everyone laughed and said it was fine because there were more people still not there.
"Embry who is that?" One of the guys on the couch asked.
"This my dear friend. Is Leann, she will be living with me and my mother and hopefully cooking for me too." He said smiling at me. I shook my head. I know that I haven't known Embry for very long, but I think that me and him will end up being really good friends. "And Leann these are the guys. You know Jake; the moron sitting next to him that asked who you were is Seth. And the other one is Quil." He told me pointing them out. I smiled and waved to them. They waved back and went back to watching the game.
"Hey Leann, how is your leg feeling?" Jake asked me, waving me over to an empty seat on the couch. I looked over at Embry who was talking to another guy who I figured was Sam because he had his arm wrapped around a woman's waist who had scars going across one side of her face.
"Better then yesterday, but it still hurts nothing to painful though because I'm on my pain meds." I told him. Seth looked at me and then at my leg.
"Do you mind me asking what happened?" I shook my head, I mean everyone would find out sooner or later and it really wasn't that big of a deal.
"Well, I left home and was driving. I had no idea how long I had been driving, when I saw the 'Welcome to Washington' sign. Then it started to rain, and I started to doze off. Before I knew it, I was hydroplaning. I ended up wrapping my car around a tree." I told him, but when I looked around the room everyone was listening. My cheeks reddened again.
"So I am guessing you are from the south?" Quil asked me. I looked at him confused.
"Yeah, Texas actually. Why?" I asked, still confused.
He laughed and told me that it was because of my accent. "Hey I don't have an accent." I told him with a laugh. Even though when I was back home my friends would pick on me because of my 'Southern Twang' although I didn't agree with them.
Quil was about to say something when I heard the front door open, and slam close. I looked up to see three more guys walk in the house. "Everyone the food is ready." Emily called to us. "Wait, Leann you can get your plate first. The boys eat like pigs, so grab as much as you want because there won't be any left overs." She told me with a smile. I could tell that she was a genuinely nice person and we would get along pretty well.
I got up and followed her into the kitchen and looked at all the food on the counters. "Are you sure they will be able to eat all of this? You could feed a small army with all this food." I said shocked to see that much food.
She laughed. "Oh believe me, everything will be gone and then they will ask for more."I heard a couple guys argue which made us laugh even more. "You know Leann; it will be such a relief to have another girl in the house." She told me, with a smile. I smiled back and started to fill up my plate.
During dinner I watched all the guys scarf down all the food. I was amazed that they could do that, I mean they all had really nice bodies but they ate all that food like it was nothing and just like Emily said they were asking for more. I was introduced to the three other guys that walked in before dinner. They were Jared, Collin, and Brady.
After dinner I helped Emily clean up the kitchen while the guys went into the living room and started to play some game on the Xbox. I was in the middle of drying a plate when the front door slammed open.
"Dude Paul, what is your problem?" I heard Jared ask the person who came storming through the front door.
"Fucking Leah is being a bitch. I hate having to do patrol with her. Sam, you are going to have to switch me with someone because I don't think I will be able to handle one more night of this." I heard him practically yell.
"Hey Paul, she isn't that bad. Sure she can be mean, but she has been through a lot. Cut her a break." Seth told him. I heard a loud sigh and then the kitchen door opened. In walked the most gorgeous man I have ever seen.
"Who the hell are you?" He asked when he walked in. I looked up and into his eyes. That's when it happened. I felt my mouth drop open and I dropped the plate I was drying.
"I-uh-Leann." I stuttered looking at him. He was looking at me in a really weird way. I was starting to feel self conscious when Embry walked in the room.
"Hey Lee, I think its time that we should go. You must be exhausted." He told me swinging an arm around my shoulders. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't take my eyes off of this guy. "Bye everyone." Embry yelled as he led me out the door and down to his truck.
When we got to the house, I went into my new room and lay down on the bed. I was so tired, then I felt everything that has happened to me the past week wash over me all at once. I broke down and started to cry, I cried for leaving my family, I cried knowing that I was on my own, I cried thinking about how I could have died, then I cried because without Embry I would be dead. Sometime in the middle of me crying Embry walked in and sat down on the bed with me. "Shh, it's okay Leann. Your fine, I promise." He kept repeating while rubbing soothing circles on my back.
"Thanks Embry. You're amazing; I honestly don't know what I would do without you. I'm so glad that I came here. But I have to tell you the truth." I told him.
"So you are a serial killer on the run from the popo!" he exclaimed. Causing me to laugh.
"No, of coarse I'm not a serial killer. I mean why I came here. Why I left home without telling anyone." He nodded his head waiting for me to continue.
I hope y'all are enjoying the story. Please review, they make my day (:
