Hello, and thank you for reading this far readers. It makes me happy to know that you are still enjoying the story. =]

This story is slowly coming to an end on my part anyways, lol. I hope that you enjoy this chapter, and I would love it if you were all to review, and make my story making life more enjoyable? =P

Disclaimer - I don't own anyone from the Twilights series. I only own Erin, and the fanfic story plot.

Lol, I'm so pumped for Eclipse, I'm thinking of rereading the book... but I honestly didn't like them that much... I just like werewolves xD

The dreams continued for a little bit, up until Keisha got her own room in the basement. I think they stopped because ever since I had my own bed back Embry would come over at night time and sleep in my bed with me. He always kelp me safe from the nightmares.

Carrie and Dan finally got Keisha a bed so she moved into the basement and she's gotten a part time job at a shoe shop in Forks, and she got transferred to my school so it would be easier for her to get to her job.

Maria and me got closer, and hung out a lot, as for Mike. Ever since my dreams I've been nervous to talk to him, and I could tell that it was upsetting him a little bit because I'd get fidgety whenever he was around or when I was eating lunch with them.

Keisha's pregnancy was coming along great, there has been no problems, and seeing as I was their god mother I had a picture of the ultrasound on my side table. She was now seven and a half months, and huge.

At the moment it was just Paul, Jacob, and I sitting in Jacob's rabbit. "I don't really know how I feel about this." Jacob mumbled.

It was a Saturday afternoon, Carrie was at the beach with Jensen. Dan had to go into work to fix something, Embry had patroll and I was just bored. I didn't get to hang out with them a lot anyways, so it was good for our friendship.

"She has to learn at some point." Paul said leaning up from the back seat.

Yeah, I do. I grinned mischievously at Jacob who was sitting in the passengers seat.

"If you crash my car, I am going to kill you." Jacob warned.

I promise I won't. I batted my lashs at him, Jacob huffed throwing the keys in my lap.

I've been practicing my driving with Dan, and Embry. It was harder to drive Embry's truck then it was for Dan's normal car. Jacob's car was smaller, so I didn't know how this was going to go. I turned the keys in the ignition.

"I love you." Jacob rubbed his car dashboard.

"I'm not going to do anything to it!" I laughed with a smile on my face.

"She is not an it!" Jacob frowned, continuing to pet his car. "Just be careful with Betty."

"Betty? Really?" I smiled back looking at Paul who's grin was big too.

I had my brown hair up in a high ponytail. I wore a tight white t-shirt that showed a lot of clevage, and tight jeans with rips in them. My shoes were running shoes.

I never used to like running shoes, I thought that they were ugly, but I've discovered I enjoy running a lot. I joined the running club at Forks high, I probably only liked it because I was a fast runner. I always had Embry running with me, since he didn't get tired I would go until I couldn't anymore and just get him to carry me home.

I don't know how my life could really get any better than it was now. It had fixed itself up so well, but I always wonder what would have happened to me back on the streets. Sometimes I even wonder what if Satan's Lodge was never burnt down, what would I be doing right now?

Would I have met someone? Or maybe I would have went to a social worker, no I would have never done of that. That would have been unthinkable. I never liked the idea of growing up having to do what adults told you, so I didn't, but now I have to listen to Carrie and Dan.

They didn't really ask much of my though, just to go to school and be safe. They never really talked to me about Embry, they seemed to trust his judgement. If I brought him up, they would ask little things, but they would never get to personal with it. They could have just known I probably wouldn't talk about it much, that's got to be it.

"Is there anywhere you want to go guys?" I asked Paul and Jacob.

No idea. Jacob leaned back in the passengers seat. Not anywhere far since you don't even have your liscense yet.

"Who all is on patroll?" Paul spoke up from the back.

Uh, Embry, Sam, Jared, Quil, and Leah. Jacob told me. My cell phone started to ring, No, you aren't answering that while you are driving my car!"

I laughed, and rolled my eyes pulling the car over. "Happy, hello?" I answered.

"Erin, I just got called into work. I need you to baby sit Jensen for me." I heard Carrie's stressed voice on the other end.

"Alright, I'll be at the beach in no time."

I hung up my cell phone and started driving to the beach. "You guys want to hang out at the beach?"

"We should go cliff diving." Paul suggested with a wide grin on his face.

"Uh, don't you... never mind." I stopped talking.

"What were you going to say?" Jacob asked.

"I was going to ask you guys if you ever get nervous, but I don't think that's possible with you guys since you're all like invisible. Also, I have my little brother, I can't take him cliff diving."

"It isn't like we are going to be throwing the kid off the cliff or anything." Paul laughed at his own joke.

"But I want to try it." I mumbled quietly.

"You want to try throwing the kid off a cliff?" Jacob asked confused.

Wha- no! I snorted rolling my eyes.

"Then try it." Paul laughed, "I'll hold the kid for you, he seems to like me enough."

Dude, wouldn't Embry get pissed if we let her jump off a cliff with us? Jacob wondered, Paul lifted his eyebrow shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders. Alright, let's do it! Jacob clapped his hands.

I snorted, at least he put in consideration of what Embry would think. Even though I could have told them that Embry would freak out if I jumped off with one of them or by myself. I didn't really care though, I just wanted to have fun.

Soon we had picked up Jensen from the beach and drove down to the cliffs. "What are we doing?" Jensen asked as Paul carried him on his back.

We had to park the car and walk the rest of the way because of all the trees in the way. "We are going cliff diving, know what that is?" I asked him.

"Uh, diving off cliffs?" He wondered with her finger in his mouth. Paul and Jacob laughed at him while I just smiled, "You're such a smart boy."

Jensen cheered clapping his hands.

It was one of those rare days where I wore a bathing suit under my actual clothes, we weren't planning to do this. It sort of just came along while we were in the car, I didn't really know what Jensen would do seeing me jump off a cliff becasue he was so tiny.

Not that I wasn't tiny, I was. Very, but I was strong and I could take a little water impact.

"I'm going first." Paul put Jensen down, he came and sat next to me eyeing Paul curiously.

I smiled brightly, I have really changed since the beginning. There was normally always a smile on my face when I was around everyone, you could say that I had become what people would call a people person. I loved Embry. I loved Jensen, Carrie, and Dan. I actually trusted Keisha, I didn't really talk to her out of the house much, but we occasionally went out and did things together. Like movies, or food.

But when I was alone, which was rare with Embry, I got sad. I didn't like to be alone, I used to charish it. Now it is something that I don't want brought back into my life.

Jensen shouted loudly when Paul jumped overthe edge of the cliff, Oh! Erin, is Paul going to be okay! Jensen sat restlessly on my lap.

"Yeah buddie, Paul's fine. We are just going to cliff dive." I told Jensen. "Where is your bathing suit?" He asked.

"I'm wearing it under my clothes." I told him, it wasn't long before Paul came back up and sat next to me. "Was it fun!" Jensen exclaimed looking at Paul with wide eyes.

I was pretty sure that Jensen looked up to Paul, I could be wrong. Though I wouldn't doubt it with how amazed Jensen is at whatever Paul does. Paul seems to like him too, which is good.

"Jacob, will you jump with me?" I asked nervously looking over the edge.

"Erin!" Jensen jumped up and down, "You're going to jump too!"

I smiled sheepishly, "Yeah, I'm scared."

Before I could ask Jacob again he lifted me over his shoulders and jumped. I gasped while falling to the water, the wind was blowing my hair up above my head. My adrenaline was pumping insanely, and I felt alive! I laughed on the way down, but as I hit the water I became heavy. I hadn't taken off my jeans.

Oh shit, was the only thing I could think at the moment. I forced my tiny arms to the button of my jeans. I struggled to undo them, and I was running out of breath. I need to calm down, but I couldn't breath at the moment, I could see Jacob's legs swimming.

I pulled the waist band down to my knees and kicked my legs until my pants were around my ankles. Stupid tight pants, so impossible to get off.

I swam back to the surface and gasped for air. "That was fun." I croaked rolling my eyes, still breathing heavily.

What happened? Jacob asked glancning around awkwardly.

"You threw my in while I was wearing my jeans still." I told him, "Stupid!" I shouted, only joking around.

"JACOB!" I heard a voice coming from far away.

I knew that voice anywhere, "Aw, I only just to jump once and I didn't even do it by myself." I complained.

Jacob snickered, Embry looks pissed.

"How can you even see his face." I gave him a weird look. "I can barely see the figure of him."

"Werewolf sight and hearing I guess?" Jacob smiled sheepishly.

I could barely make out who it was, I could barely even see them. I just assumed that it was Embry because the tone of his voice. From where we were jumping, there was the highway just over there and that's where Embry was standing.

"We should get out, he's gone. Probably running over to the top of the cliff."

Jacob picked me up and climbed to the top of the cliff so it would be easier for me. "Where are your pants?" Paul asked laughing.

I had to take them off... oh god damn it! I shouted looknig over the cliff angrily, My damn pants are at the bottom of the lake now.

"What were you doing!" I heard a loud booming voice.

"Come on." Paul picked up Jensen putting him on his shoulders.

I watched them leave with sadness, I didn't want them to leave me with an angry Embry. Not that he would hurt me in any way, I just didn't want to be alone with him at the moment.

"I was cliff diving." I told him simply. "You aren't my father." I pointed out.

I may not be your father, but I am your boyfriend. What would I do if something happened to you? Embry asked breathing like he had no breath.

"I don't know, you would find a way to go on I am sure." I mumbled looking at the ground, feeling a little guilty for worrying him for the time being.

I heard him sigh, "You must not understand the concept of my imprinting. You know that it means I care what happens to you, and if something were to happen to you I may as well be dead."

Don't say that Embry... I trailed off, the thought of him dead to me made me want to curl up and die too.

"It's true Erin! I love you, I don't want anything to happen to you. It might have been different if you were jumping with me, but."

Embry, enough! I looked him straight in the eyes, I rose my hand to his cheek. Please be quiet, I'm sorry.

Embry sighed and pulled me into him tightly, It's okay. Don't scare me anymore baby. He pressed his lips against my forehead.

I pulled away looking up at him, I motioned him closer to me. I brought my lips close to his ears so he could feel my breath on his ear, "TAG!" I backed up quickly hitting him in the nose so it wouldn't hurt me since every time I tried to hurt him I hurt myself.

Embry stood there for a moment unaware of what happened, then chased after me... and caught me. You could have pretended you couldn't catch me. I pouted hanging over his shoulder.

He laughed, and the day easily went on from that. We all went back to the cliff and continued cliff diving. Except Embry would either jump with me, or wait for me at the bottom. I was a little angry at first, but I got over it after a while because I started to have fun.

Like I've mentioned, I don't think my life could go any better... it could really only get worse from here.

I kissed Jensen's forehead softly, and pulled the covers over his sleeping body. I walked down the stairs into the kitchen when I smelt something odd, something that I knew the smell of. Was that...?

I slowly opened the basement door, and I knew what that smell was. It defiantly wasn't something that I pregnant girl should be doing, and if there is weed involved then I know for a fact that there were other things.

"What the fuck, are you doing?" I asked Keisha in a harsh tone.

The basement was a mess. Their were clothes all over the floor, there were drawers pulled out and on the ground. A joint was lit and sitting in an ash tray, half way gone might I add. Keisha had her nose close to the table when I came down the stairs. I, uh... Erin you have ot understand.

"Understand what! You are killing the living beings in your stomach by poluting yourself with sickening drugs!" I shouted angrily at her.

You don't know what it's like to be adicted to something! Her harsh words repeated in my head over and over.

"No, I don't, but I thought you stopped?" My voice was softer now.

"I did! Alright, I did for a little, but then..." Keisha stopped speaking and brought her hands to her face.

"Then why did you start again, I don't understand."

"Erin, I'm not strong like you are!" Keisha shouted at me, "A lot of people don't have as much self control as you seem to have over your life. You were never pulled into the drugs by your friends when you were in high school I was! Do you have any idea how long I've been doing this stuff and then suddenly I come to a complete stop!"

"I thought that... I thought that I was helping you through it." I spoke sadly now, all I did was feel responsible.

I should have spent more time with her because she needed help. "Carrie and Dan have talked to me about this stuff, I've been seeing someone... and you know. It's not helping, it stresses me out and makes me want to do it more!"

I couldn't think straight anymore, she was driving me nuts, but what was really bugging me was this. I trusted her.

I trusted her to not harm herself.

She said she was clean, and I believed her.

Do even the laws of the streets apply in everyday life?

I guess you can't bring girls from the streets into your life and expect to go on and continue your normal, average day.

Was it really her fault? Well, she could have told me she needed more help. "How long have you been doing this?"

"I, a long time. Since five months." She bit her lip.

How was nothing wrong with the babies? "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, "I thought, I thought I could have trusted you."

"Erin, please."

"No, no." I brought my hand to my face, rubbing my one eyes. "No, it's what I get for giving someone a second chance."

"Bu-"

Street laws still do accure here, you don't trust anyone. I now glared down at her sitting on the couch, Continue what you were doing, and don't talk to me.

Before she could think of a way to respond I walked upstairs and just sat on my bed staring at the wall. I wanted to be alone, I needed something to get this off my mind.

I guess it was true, don't trust anyone.
