Lilliana Pov

"Oh My God Jake! Put me down!" I started banging my fist against his back.

Jacob took me all over La Push. Still the woodsy place I love to go back any day of the year (if I could) to be surrounded with luscious greenery then the concrete jungle. We ended up at the beach taking a nice walk and talking about our lame lives that seems so interesting to each other. Until I had a crazy idea which I so acted on- pushed him into the water getting him all soaked. I didn't even have to use all my strength to get him falling like a a piece of lumber. I was laughing like a hysterical person at the look on his face turned grim. I stopped instantly after he got up from out of the waters and gave me the look of 'payback'. I tried to keep my speed at a minimum (with the superpowers I got) but I didn't get far at all at the normal rate anyhow.

Now, here I am dangling a few inches away from the cold water.

"Come on! It was a accident I swear! Please Jake!" All I got was more evil laughter ringing my airs.

He shifted my weight from time to time as he moved in deeper into the ocean, "You brought this on yourself the moment you SHOVED me into the ocean. So might as well get...EVEN!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

I went head first into the water. My eyes blazing from sea salt, the cold soaking my clothes through and through. I took a big gulp of air when I resurfaces as I tried to rid away the salt that started to dissolved inside my eyes. "GAH JAKE! You just had to drop me head first into the ocean didn't you." I was a mixture of emotions of being mad and laughing at the outcome. I tried to open my eyes but it hurt to much to even blink for one second. Jacob kept laughing but after a few grunting and be a little dramatic on how much this all really hurt, he stopped.

"Hey, hey are you okay Krystal?" he asked as I felt him shifting through the waters towards me.

I was practically drowning since my hands were too busy to float. I gasped as I felt strong arms wrapped around my waist and hoisted me up a little. "Come on," he pulled my hands away from my face,"let me see how bad is your burn."

Slowly but carefully, I tried opening my eyes without trying to cringe at the suddenly bright light that was intensified with the highlight of flaming orange. Jacob cupped my face, rubbing his thumb under my left eye that from each rub, stolen the irritating tension that built around my eyes and somehow it made it easier to open them. Jacob looked into my eyes observing them while I somewhat felt dazed that it was that easy and being this close to his bronze beast. Once he was finally done, he wrapped his other arm around me waist and pulled me a little bit closer.

"It's fine now?" he asked with a twinge of cheekiness that was keeping us afloat.

I smiled and nodded, "Ya it feels better now, thanks." I shifted my limp arms up towards his neck and wrapped them around his neck hesitantly. Scared of what I'm suppose to them instead of leaving them out in the open between us.

He gave me a sloppy grinned and shrugged, "heh, but ya I am sorry I dunk your head first. Next time I'll drag you into the waters."

I arched an eyebrow at him and stuck my tongue out, he titled his head back and howled his laughter like a wolf howling at the moon. I stared at him and slightly enjoyed how the droplets of water danced down his chiseled jaw and neck. How his shoulder shudder under my feeble fingers like it was about to fall into pieces but somehow still put together. My eyes trailed and traced every part of him in my mind to remember this odd feeling till I went rigid at the pulsing vein. The sound of waves crashing and the seagulls chirping was replaced by this rhythmic beat that dance me quivering lips closer to his neck. The anticipation grew wild in my head, my breathing thicken at the sweet lust of this... this...

You cant run away from me forever Lilliana...

I pulled myself away from Jacob, literally kicking him in the gut to get out of his grip. He grunted while I spun around frantically. My eyes searching for the voice that was quickly fading in the air. I tried to catch the tail of this lie, afraid it will disappear again. The source that's making me like this frantic. But the more I spun around in circles, the sun will only set and rise, the trees will sway left and right but I still won't see who or what that keeping standing out of this feeble picture. I stopped and tried to control my breathing and looked back at Jacob who was still hunching over a bit. I guess I might have used a little too much force.

"Oh Jake I'm soooo sorry," I swam back over to him and placed my hand on his face trying laugh away the awkward moment that I kicked in this moment, "I don't know what came over me. Are you okay? I'm really, really sorry Jake!"

Jacob grunted a reply as he sucked up and straighten up a bit, "WOW, you got a powerful kick," he said through gritted teeth. After couple seconds he looked me in the eyes with amusement and amazement that I couldn't help but really laugh this time. I'm glad I didn't hurt him that much and that we could easily move pass the awkward sugar coating that I caused. We kept bobbing up and down in the water, letting the laughter dim with the sunset. I didn't realized he re-wrapped his arms around me again. I didn't even realized I still have his face nestled in my small hands. We looked straight into each others eyes, me admiring how the color of the sky reflected perfectly in his black abyss. How the sound around us made us stilled in the water. The corner of my lips twitched as how silly all this was and how he didn't mind this at all.

We were bathing in the moment so much that smelling this sweet alerted the whole pack.

Embry POV

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I couldn't believe I let myself stand here for what felt like ages of my life ripping painful in my jaw, watching Lilliana and Jacob so close to each other. So close that they almost looked like they were about to-

"WHOA! Jacob is cheating big time!" I turned my head towards Quil who looked stupidly dumbfounded at the sight as much as I was.

I walked over to Quil, "How is Jacob cheating if his not in a relationship to begin with? It's not like we're his girlfriend or something."
Quil gave me a wolfy grin and shook his head from side to side.

"All of us is clearly into your little friend Embry so we all made a deal whoever can win her heart gets her," said Seth who trotted to join both of them. Catching up to what was currently happening and also forged Quil dumbfounded.
"Unless one of us is her imprinter but it seems like none of us are," greeted the oh so mysterious Jared who got me in a headlock and giving me a nuggy. We broke apart laughing and looked back at the semi-love birds floating out in the distance.

I wish I was.
I dug my pusling fist into the depth of my empty pockets and cringed at the thought if one of us was imprinted on her. My little Lilliana?...
"So, who wants to burst their cozy bubble right now?" I harmlessly asked.

The first taker was Quil and Seth who trailed right after him, both yelling at the top of their lungs at the both of them-interjecting some kissing noises too-if it could be heard this far. Jacob could pick it up for sure but not Lilliana yet the surprising thing was Lilliana looked at our direction first and pulled away fast. I held back a growl in my chest as Jacob tried to pull her back in again till he notice the noise too. They both looked at each other first and then started swimming back. I didn't know I was on a blood tirade in my mind till Jared knocked me out of it and dragged me towards the humble survivors who was soaked from head to toe.

Jacob was greeted with playful punches and whispers of What did you guys do, while I was staring at Lilliana. Her jeans hugged her hips tightly then they should and they way she was folding her arms across her chest I could tell she was trying to hide the obvious. Even though she tried, I notice the black strap showing through and a lump of a necklaces embedding it's way through the soaked shirt. Lilliana caught me staring, "EMBRY."

I was startled that I couldn't help but blush like madly beacon in font of everyone. I looked at the rest. Jacob with a raised eyebrows, Seth confused, Jared staring between her and Jacob and Quil giving the 'Tsk Tsk ' treatment. This black and white picture just god a splash of colors.

Quil stepped forward, "Embry, you bad bad boy. Didn't your mom taught you not to stare at girls who are soaking wet in a white t-shirt."

Right there, I hit the boy upside the head again for the second time this week.

I started beating the crap out of him while the other watched and laughed. I stopped after everyone eventually forgot about my stare moment. Quil was laying in the sand, groaning from the punches and building up feeble comebacks to get back at me. I looked back at the Jacob who was staring at Lilliana who was still laughing at Quil. I had the urge to punch that stupid smile off his face till Seth stepped in and asked, "What were you guys doing all the way out there anyway? Fishing?"

"Didn't look like fishing to me," snickered a wolfy Jared.

Lilliana looked at me first, like she was guilty of being caught and then looked at Jacob. Her eyes begging for a little stand point here. Jacob looked back at Seth, without even trying to hide the happiness in his tone, "Lilly, wanted a-"

"Don't call her that!" I seethed out before realizing it.

Jacob looked back at me, the happiness replace with confusion and frustration. Lilliana staring at the ground with full concentration on something other then this or she's trying to not to notice the tension in the breeze fleeing away. I cleared my throat and gave a weak laugh, "Sorry, continue."

Everyone looked back at Jacob who was still doubting if he could continue or not, "Anyway... she wanted a tour guide of the place so I was around her house so I volunteered." Jacob finished, glancing my way from under his lashes forcing a smile on his face as he put his arm around Seth.

"Ya," Lilliana piped in with exhaustion dripping at the word. She looked like she aged in a matter of seconds. What was she thinking about to make her look so drained.

"Ya know its getting late and I think my mum is waiting for me at home for dinner," Lilliana said as she started walking away.

"Wait!" Jacob jogged away past me and Jared and caught up to Lilliana.

They exchanged some words and then they continued onwards to the rabbit. The old thing roared with a sore start and pulled the rest of us to head back to what we were going to do tonight.

"I wish I could drop her off instead of patrolling tonight," Seth said as he took off his tank.

"Me too," I whispered.

The other started to take off their shirts and got ready till the car left completely till it couldn't see us. I turned around and started to take of my shirt when I notice something glinting in the fading sunlight. Bending down and picked up, a crescent moon dangling hopelessly covered in sand around a the stretchy, fabric necklace. I looked back at the car space where the both of the happily run off too and decided to put it around my neck. In the morning I'll return it back to Lilliana.

Jacob rolled down the windows and letting the cold summer air of the ocean and nature fill in the car and dry us faster before we made it to my house. I know my mum will freak if she saw me coming home all drenched. Silence was riding on the incoming breezed as we drove back and I didn't mind at all. I need some quiet time to figure it.

On the beach, it was happening again. A scene was trying to form behind Jared and Embry when Jacob talked. I shifted my eyes to the ground trying to take deep breathes as I forced it back into my mind. It had to be the hardest one I ever had to force cause this time I felt something dripping down my nose and when I tried to wipe it away-it was blood. I could see at the corner of my eye that the images were just dust in the air surrounding us but I could hear the soft broken laughter being chased by the waves.

Once he was done explaining I had to interject something to make myself seem normal when I felt so broken and exhausted in side. The others didn't seem to notice but I knew, even though I didn't looked at Embry, he knew something was up.

Just thinking about the moment we shared out there was even trying to glitz itself between the both of us that I had to move a little bit closer to Jacob to shatter the glistering wall between us. Maybe I wanted to sit closer to him too.

Who knows.

We stole glances. We stole secret smiles. We stole fluttering touches till we slowed down to a stop in front of my house. I didn't want to leave as I stared striation into the enchanting forest but I knew I couldn't seat here forever and savor all this. Mum was shifting somewhere inside the house, near the windows stealing glances of her own I see. I started moving away from Jacob and open the door and leaped out.

I looked back to see Jacob giving me a small smile which turned bigger when I returned one of my own, "Thanks Jacob, I had a really good time today and I will highly recommend you to my friends if they want a tour guide."

Jacob gave a small laugh, "I'll love that."

I looked away, hiding the blush creeping across my face as I shut the door.

"Bye"

"Bye too."

I headed towards the door, knowing mum will open it before I even reach there. Jacob started the engines and headed his way too. When I looked back at the rusty old rabbit, I wish I didn't have to leave him at all.

"Well, well, look who's back from a date!" Mum exclaimed.

I almost had a whiplash as I chased mum around the house, forcing her to believe me it wasn't a date, but the more she laughed the more she fell into her little fairytale world of my DAUGHTER FOUND LOVE.

I knew better then that.

-hours later-

After chasing her around for a bit, we got hungry and ordered some pizza

I was about to head into bed but the headache was starting to come that I knew this time I couldn't fight what was coming next. Not after risking the pressure at the beach. I checked if I could hear my mum snoring softly in her room down the hall before I let it all out loud. I need an outlet and this wasn't how I pictured it but there was nothing left for me. I plopped on my bed, feeling myself get light, taking a deep breath like it was my first time.
The space between me and the ceiling started swirling into these vibrate colors of a glittering rainbow as It fazed its way into a flaming depths of the day I spent with Jacob into the ocean. I wanted to grab his face again like he was really here but once I touched him, he completely fell into dust to the floor that become a mist below me. Clutching my rapid heart I forced a imagine of me and Embry when we were kids at the beach before we left. Every detail was captured and formed into harmless laughter and fright of being caught in the small waves. The blazing sunset shined through out my room and scared the shadows to the corners of the room as I left my room and ended up the sandy beach. I turned to my right and followed the carefree laughter of what was. Two kids playing and flinging water at each other like it was the only weapon to fight and defend with.

Tears of relief snuck its way out of the corner of my eye as tiredness welcomed me with open eyes. I didn't want to leave just yet but the imagines changed after one another into the swaying wind that wasn't present in this hollow room.

Embry! I love you too!

please forgive me. I know it has been a long time since I updated my stories. I was stuck with school and vacations all over the place that I didn't have time to catch up on what was happening here. Thanks for all of you to vote and love/like my stories that I've been dreaming like crazy. I know this chapter might not be so amazing or spontaneous but this is how the quiet drama and secrets will start at first and explode into a story that I hope all of you didn't see coming :)
