A/N: I hope you like the chapter, sorry it took so long.

Twilight = Not mine

19) Time To Fix This

The voice I heard wasn't the one I wanted to hear calling me baby. "Aunt Yvonne?" Slowly I opened my eyes and there she was just staring at me with a feeble smile on her face and worry laced in her eyes. Just then I remembered Embry and my world came crashing down all over again. The tears started flowing and there was nothing I could do to stop it. "Embry left me didn't him?"

"Oh Ashlynn I am so sorry sweeheart." She took me in her arms and just held me as long as it took for the shaking and uncontrolable sobbing to stop. "Shh dear. How about we go into the kitchen and I can make us some tea. Then if you feel up to it you can tell me what happened." Weakly I nodded my head and stood up to follow her into the kitchen but my legs had other ideas. They were far too wobbley and I fell back on to the bed as soon as my feet hit the ground. My aunt just wrapped her arm around my waist, lifted me up and walked me all the way into the kitchen. She gently sat me down in a chair and went about the room making the tea.

"Aunt Yvonne where is Brook?" I had to admit that it hurt a little that she wasn't here when I woke up.

"Her and Jake had to go take care of something but don't worry they will be home soon." She tried to hide it but I didn't miss the cross of hope and doubt that spread across her face. Just then she handed me the cup of tea and sat down across the table from me with her own. We sat there silently for a few minutes just drinking our tea. I knew she wanted to know what happened but she wasn't going to push the issue. I knew I needed to tell someone though and I knew she would listen with out judgment.

"Ok I am ready to talk." Auntie just smiled and nodded her head telling me to contine and I did. I told her eveything from the scar, to the dreams I have been having, to Embry's secret. More importantly though I told her everything Embry had said when he had left me. She was silent, inentivly listing and she made sure that I was done talking before she spoke.

"Sweetie I know it hurts now and I know you feel like your world is ending but I promise it will get better. I have seen the way Embry looks at you, that boy is head over heels for you. Trust me when I say he won't be able to stay away from you for long. He is just confused so he did the only thing he could think of at the time and ran. When he gives himself time to actually process it all though he will realize what a huge mistake he made and he will come crawling back, all men do it." Aunt Yvonne let out a giggle at her own little joke and I couldn't help but join in. She was just so easy to talk to not to mention that she also gave really good advice.

Just as I was about to respond to her I heard the front door open. I turned around in my chair to see who it was and in walked Jake, Brook, and Embry. My eyes grew wide as I took in Embry, he looked as if he hadn't slept in days. I was even more shocked when he spoke, his voice held no emotion, he sounded dead. "Ashlynn can we talk, I'll understand if you hate me but please give me a chance to explain." His eyes were filled with so much emotion it was as if his world depended on my answer.

"Embry I could never hate you. Yes I am hurt, confused and not to mention angry but that doesn't change how I feel about you." The tears were threatening to spill over again so I just stood up, grabbed his hand and led him into my bedroom. As soon as our hands connected it was like my life was put back into me. We were both quite as we walked down the hall. It wasn't until I had shut the door and we were both sitting on the bed that he finally spoke.

"Ashlynn I am sorry I was so stupid I just got scared and didn't know what else to do. I know that is a lame excuse but it's the truth. When you told me about the scar I just freaked, for so many reasons. I was mad that I wasn't always there to protect you and I was afraid that you would never accept me now. I didn't even give you a chance to defend or epxlain yourself. I just did want I thought was best for you, being away from you causes me physical pain but I could never bear you not wanting me. That's what I thought would happen when you found out the truth and I couldn't stand of you breaking up with me so I did it first. I thought it would be easier but it wasn't, in fact it was hell. It has only been two days and it felt like months. I can't live without you Ashlynn, I don't want to either, and I will do anything I can to make this up to you. I know we can work through anything and I just hope you feel the same way. I love you Ashlynn, no one will ever, could ever compare to you."

My heart soared and broke all at the same time. Seeing Embry like this so weak and vulnarble with tears in his eyes hurt me more then my own pain ever could. Yet hearing him confess his love for me and beg for my forgivness nearly melted me. "Embry I understand why you did what you did but I do wish you would have given me a chance to explain. My past is just that the past and neither one of us can change that but you Embry you are my future. Nothing else matters now except for that we have each other and nothing can change that. I have never been more happier in my life, or felt safier since I met you. How many times do I have to tell you that nothing you could ever tell me will change that? Embry Call I love you with all I have you are my everything." He instantly swept me up into his arms as I wraped mine around his neck. Nothing could ever feel as good, as natural as it feels to be in Embry's arms.

There was so many more questions that I wanted to ask Embry but I couldn't get the words out. As soon as my eyes looked into his I lost all train of thought. We spent went felt like hours just staring into each other's souls before I slowly leaned in and pressed my lips to his. It was amazing how right it felt, quickly I deepened the kiss, after two days away from him I just couldn't get enough of Embry. I turned my body around so that I was straddling Embry and I instantly tangled my hands into his hair. His tounge was tracing my lower lip begging for entrance and I of couse gave in. His hands were inching lower and lower down my back causeing me to lose all inhabitions. I found myself pushing him down on to the bed trying to get more of him when he pulled away.

"Ash baby as much as I am loving this right now I don't think this is the time or place." I slowly felt the blush flood my face, Embry was right I was totally about to give myself to Embry on my sister's bed with her and my aunt in the other room. "Don't be embarassed baby, trust me it's all I can take to keep my hands off you. It's just that when we take it to that level I want it to be perfect."

"I know Embry and I want that too, it's just that I have missed you so much." With that I just snuggled into his arms as he traced his finger over my scar once more.

"Baby how about you come over to my house to night. I will make you dinner, there is something I want to tell you and nothing will stop me this time." I couldn't help but be excited about the aspect of hearing the secret. Althought I was still a little nervous, wondering if something was going to go wrong again.

"Embry I would love nothing more. Maybe I can get my Aunt to let me stay the night." I gave him my best seductive smile and as his eyes grew wide I couldn't help but giggle. I don't know what got into me but now I know that our love is strong enough to over come anything. Knowing that makes me want to give myself, all of myself, to Embry.

"I don't think so baby, tomorrow is Tuesday, a school day and since your aunt already let you take today off I don't think that will go over well." He was right even though I still couldn't believe I slept for almost two whole days. I had a feeling though that I could talk my aunt into it if I promised to still go to school tomorrow.

"Well what if I get her to say yes as long as you bring me to school in the morning?" His eyes lit up as a big goofy grin spread across his face.

"You know you don't have to ask baby, I would love to spend another night with you in my arms." With that I nuzzled into him and left a trail of small kisses down his neck. I could feel his body shiver at my touch and I loved knowing that only I could make him feel like that.

"Come on Embry let's go into the kitchen. I am sure they are dying to know what is going on." Embry then lifted me up into his arms and carried me into the kitchen. This time I didn't mind though, after two days away from him I never wanted to leave his arms.

As soon as we entered the room I could since the nervous tension instatly disappear. As soon as they saw me in Embry's arms smiles spread across their faces.

"Yay I knew you two would make up, you two are too perfect together." Brook came bounding over to us as soon as Embry put me down and gave us a big hug.

"Dude I can't believe she forgave you." I could tell by Jake's tone that he was joking but I still felt Embry wince next to me.

"Of course I forgave him, I love him but don't worry he still has lots of groveling to do." I give him a wink an a small peck on the cheek to let him know I was just playing.

"If it means I get to spend the rest of my life with you then I will galdly do whatever you want me to." He then leant down and place a sweet kiss on my forehead.

"Oh auntie I wanted to ask you something. Is it ok if I go over to Embry's tonight, he wanted to cook me dinner?" I gave her my best puppy dog eyes and I saw her resolve crumbling.

"Of course that is fine Ashlynn, what time?" This is the question I was waiting for now lets see if I can work my magic.

"Well see I was kinda wondering If I could just stay the night because you know we have a lot to talk about. I promise Embry will bring me to school in the morning, Please?" For the first time since I have been here my aunt's face was unreadable. I was starting to get nervous that I crossed then line but then her face broke into a smile.

"I figured you were going to ask that. I suppose it would be ok as long as you are not late for school tomorrow. Don't get used to it though." She said the last part with a wink and then she turned to Embry and started speaking to him. "Embry you better take good care of her. I trust you and as long as Ash forgives you I do too but don't let it happen again."

"Of course Yvonne that will never happen again I promise. Ashlynn is my world and I promise to take care of her for as long as she will let me." Auntie just smiled and nodded her head as she walked into the living room.

"So Embry what time do you want me to come over tonight?" I honestly didn't even want to leave him at all today but I knew he probably had something to take care of, he always did.

"Well I have to go talk to the rest of the guys, I owe them an explanation for the way I have been acting lately. So how about like 6:30?" Well it was already 3:30 so I guess I could go three hours without him plust I still had to get ready.

"That sounds perfect, I guess I will see you at your house at 6:30 then. Now go make up with the boys while I get ready. Tonight I am going to blow you away." I winked at him and he leaned in to whisper into my ear.

"You always blow me away. I will miss you so much baby but I promise tonight will be worth it. I love you." With that he gave me a sweet and gentle kiss on the lips and then left with Jake.

Now it was just Brook and I standing in the kitchen. "Well what are you waiting for, lets go get you I get done with you Embry won't know what hit him." I just giggled as she grabbed my arm and pulled me down the hall and into our room. "Here, take your robe and go get in the shower while I pick out your clothes." I knew this was no arguing with Brook when she got in this mode so I did as she said.

I was in the shower trying to ease all of the tension and stress out of my muscles but my thoughts kept going to Embry. He said tonight would be worth it but what exactly did those words mean.

A/N: This is not at all the way I had in my head for the chapter to go but what can I say, the characters have a mind all their own.
