Reviews are greatly appreciated and are good... so do it =P lol enjoy the chapter, I don't exactly know who I feel about it yet though.
I was holding Embry's hand tightly, I felt scared. I felt so frightened for some reason, I didn't even know why. Maybe it was because even he looked nervous, had he been cheating on me since him and I... what would you call us? I scoffed, we weren't even dating. He hasn't asked me, for all I know he's had a girlfriend this whole time and just likes getting kisses from me.
The stupid girl from the streets. That's what I am, the one who doesn't know anything about society.
"What's wrong?" Embry asked, hearing me scoff.
"Nothing?" I looked him in the eyes, "Don't be nervous, you aren't the one that should be." Embry squeezed my hand reassuringly.
How could I not be nervous, he's acting like he's going to tell me that he was secretly born a woman and became a muscle man from too much steroids! "What's on your mind? What do you think I'm going to tell you?" Embry asked suddenly, watching me instead of the road.
I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know... something important?" I looked at him with my eyebrow lifted high.
"It is important, but what do you think the secrets about?" Embry looked into my eyes, trying to read my expression.
"You, and me, if it's this important." I mumbled taking my hand out of his, we've been holding hands since we got in the car nearly thirty minutes ago.
Embry was driving past my house when I told him to stop the truck. My eyes were wide as I stared at the front porch with astonishment. "Embry?" I looked at him, my mouth still hanging opened slightly.
"Yeah? What's that matter?" Embry asked worriedly, "Who's that?" He was looking at me, not her.
"I know her." I murmured, "Could... I don't know." I sighed, "Could you tell me your secret later?" I asked him.
He sighed, "Yeah, later tonight. I'm coming to get you at eight, okay?"
"Perfect, thank you so much." I leaned in to him and pressed my lips softly on his. I felt him lick my bottom lip, I pulled away. "I have to go, I'm sorry. I had no idea she was going to be here."
I opened the door of the truck and walked towards the front porch. She ran over to me, pulling my into a tight embrace. I slowly put my arms behind her back awkwardly patting her back. I waved at Embry waiting for him to drive off.
"Keisha," I paused watching Embry drive away. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked her.
"I didn't have anywhere else to go." She sobbed, she put her hand on her face looking me in my brown eyes. Her own filled with tears, "Erin, I really believe that you can help me. You were always a good, smart person."
I sighed, I hated being mean to people who didn't deserve it. But she wants me to be her baby's god mother, what if something happened to her when the kid was one or two, then I'd only be a year or two older, and I'd never be able to support the baby.
"Thanks, but Keisha, I can't help you with this baby." I mumbled sadly, "I won't be able to do anything for it... I can't do anything for you!" I exclaimed this time.
Keisha moaned dropping to the ground in a fetal position. "I need someone... I can't do this by myself!"
"Keisha," I sighed, "Believe me, if this was my house I would let you stay until you got better, but this isn't my house, I can't just do that."
"I know, I know..." She mumbled, "Erin, you really are my best friend."
Keisha looked up, staring me in the eyes. The tears still running down her pale face, "I'm keeping the baby... and I am going to get a ultrasound here tomorrow... I want you to come with?"
"Yeah, I will..." I trailed off, "Where are you sleeping?"
"I don't know..."
"I could see if you could spend the night..." I rolled my eyes walking into the house with her following behind me closely. "So this is your new house? It's nice."
"Yeah, don't touch anything that looks expensive..." I laughed, lifting an eyebrow.
She smiled warmly at me, "You're amazing Erin... really. I'm happy to have met someone like you."
I nodded my head and dialed Dan's number. "Dan, could my friend sleep over tonight. Her and her parents aren't really getting along to the best of it's ability."
"Yeah... I guess. I'm going to call Carrie and verify... don't do anything stupid."
I closed the phone, glancing back at Keisha I nodded my head. "I'm pretty sure it's a yes."
"Thank you so much!" Keisha exclaimed hugging me. "So... let's see you're stomach." I grinned cheekily.
She laughed lifting her shirt slightly, "I'm only about two and a half months at the most."
I shrugged, "You're still pretty big."
She smiled nodding her head, "I think there is two in here." She put her hand on her stomach, looking down at it with love. "I'm not one hundred percent sure who the father is... but I do already love my baby so much."
"Have any names picked out?" I asked
Why would she have them picked out this early? Because she has nothing better to do while sitting on a bus, or hitch hiking, that's why. "I like that name Kale for a boy, and Amyber for a girl."
"I like Kale." I smiled at her softly plopping down on the couch.
"Yeah, me too. I don't know why though." She laughed for a moment sitting next to me with her feet up, "So how is everything down here?"
"I like it." I whispered, "They are so nice. I have a brother too."
"Who dropped you off?" Keisha asked, "He looked pretty big from what I could see, I didn't even see you in the next seat."
"He's Embry, I used to go to school with him."
"Used to?" She asked
"I go in Forks now, no big deal." I shrugged my shoulders, not trying to remember anything of the past. "Is he your boyfriend?"
"Maybe..." I mumbled not looking at her.
Like I have said I am unsure of mine and Embry's relationship. Times I think we are, then others not so much.
"Have you kissed him?" She asked smiling.
"Yes." I blushed, playing with my hair. I twirled my hair around my finger waiting for her to say something.
"Have you... you know?"
"Keisha!" I exclaimed, throwing a couch pillow at her. "No, I met him like a week ago."
She laughed, "Well you're dating him aren't you?"
"No." I looked away. "Just because I kissed him doesn't mean I am dating him."
Keisha just watched me for a little, "You like him though, right?"
"I... I guess so." I blinked a couple times. "I don't know the feeling, it's hard to explain my situation right now."
I saw a smile creep onto her face, "You do." She laughed softly. "He better treat you well, other wise I'd have to bust a cap in his ass."
I rolled my eyes, I could really decide what my feelings were for him. I liked him a lot and I was happy every time I was around. When he says something funny I will always laugh, when he laughs I will laugh along with him or just smile.
He makes me feel like a whole person, he makes me feel like I am more than just an ignored indavidual. That I mean more to him than the world, life, or anyone. "I don't think he would hurt me."
"Shit happens sometimes." Keisha began, "Sometimes you walk in at the wrong time, or they say something without thinking or it's vise versa... there is always problems."
"I haven't had any problems with him yet."
"It's been a week Erin, I'm just warning you what happens in relationships."
"Yeah, I know." I remembered Maria's story. "Did you know that SS was burnt down too?"
"Yeah! I went there to sleep and it wasn't there!"
"Man..." I grumbled, "There is seriously something wrong with New York."
Keisha and I continued talking, and catching up until it was eight and Embry arrived. "This is Keisha." I told him, he nodded his head extending a hand.
She slowly took his hand and shook it. "I'll see you back here soon." She smiled at me, walking up to my room.
I follow Embry out of the house, he led me into the woods and he still hadn't said a word to me or anything. "Are you okay?" I croaked, barely making the words out.
I was nervous all over again, it was insane how quickly my nerves were jumping. "Okay, I'm just going to come right out with it." He mumbled pacing back and forth after he motioned me to sit on a log.
"Just go." I told him, watching his eyes raise to look me in the eyes.
"I'm a werewolf?" He told me, sounded more like a question.
His one cheek was twitched up a little, and the same eyebrow was raised like he were waiting for my reaction. I snorted, "Okay, you broke the tension... now what?"
"I'm a werewolf! Erin I'm not lying to you!" He exclaimed looking my directly in the eyes.
I tilted my head to the side, watching his movements very clearly. "And you're serious?"
"I swear I am serious."
"This is kind of unbelievable..." I mustered. "Prove it?" I asked
He walked away, then about a minute or two later a wolf nearly the size of a fucking shed came back. My eyes were wide, I could barely process my brain right.
It felt like my jaw was going to disconnect and that my eyes were going to pop out of their sockets. "God damn..." I mumbled watching the wolf take a step closer to me.
My eyes widened in fear as I quickly took three steps back, I didn't know how to react to this. It wasn't everyday that I had someone come to tell me that they were werewolves! "I'm insane... I'm dreaming." I told myself squeezing my eyes shut then opening them to see if he was still there.
He was.
I could see the worried look in Embry's eyes, "This is fucked up... so beyond belief." I stared at him with a hard look.
I could see in Embry's eyes, I could feel it inside of me. I could feel him shattering into a million pieces. "But I... I think, maybe."
I saw the wolf watch me intently, that intense look that Embry always gave me. I knew that this wolf was Embry because of the stare I was receiving from him. I held my breath before coming right out with it. "I love you."
