Chp.7(Jobs)

"So you all can turn into wolves, and I almost did last night?" I asked Seth.

"Yeah. Believe me?" He said. He had just told me everything about last night. I was a little freaked out to say the least.

"Of course. You would never lie to me." I said feeling as if there was more, but I didn't want to know. I had had enough excitement for awhile.

"Are you okay?" Seth asked me with concern etched onto his face.

"Yeah." I said looking out my window that faced the front yard. The leaves blew around in the wind and it looked like it was about to rain. It was the same old same old except something was wrong with the picture. There was a car parked on the side of the road.

"Mel!" A high voice yelled as my door burst open. I whipped around smiling like a mad man.

"Isla!" I cried running into her arms. She hugged me tight like she was never going to let go. She held me at arms length and grinned.

"Damn girl. You've grown." She said with awe. I was now as tall as her which was saying something. Isla could be a model. She has the weird name and the height.

"Don't I know it? I barely fit in my clothes anymore." I said motioning to the overwhelming pile of clothes on my floor. "Joey!" I screamed as I saw him slink into my room. He smiled as I ripped myself out of Isla's hold and launched myself into his open arms.

"Hey Mel. Did you miss me?" He asked hugging me to the point where I couldn't breathe.

"No." I said shaking my head when he released me. He just stood there gapping at me. "Of course I did. Stop acting like you thought I meant it." I said in a 'duhhh' voice.

"Logan's down stairs." Joey explained when he saw me looking around.

"Makes since. Lots of women down their cooing over him probably."

"Hey, Is and random guy can you give us a minute alone." Joey asked sitting down on my bed. Seth and Isla left us alone shutting the door. "You okay? You seem really fucked up." Joey said patting a spot on the bed next to him. I came over and sat down resting my head on his shoulder.

"Sam and I don't really get along, and a lot of weird stuff has been happening with me."

"I got a job." Joey blurted out. I sent him a weak glare.

"We're talking about me right now. I need someone to cheer me up." I said annoyed.

"That's the point. My job is in Forks." He said smiling wide.

"Where's that?" I asked crinkling up my nose. What type of name is Forks?

"Seriously? Are you obtuse or something?"

"Oh so we're using big words now Joseph. But seriously where the hell is Forks?" I said rolling my eyes at him.

"It's right outside of La Push."

"No-uh." I said biting my lip to hide a smile. This would be a cruel joke if he was kidding.

"I'm dead serious." He said laughing at me. I shrieked in delight and jumped up. I did a little happy dance around my room. "Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Isla graduated early. She's coming to live with me, and she has an internship with some government agency until she can go to college." Joey added which only caused me to scream louder. The door burst open again with a mob of guys looking into my room.

"Mel?" Seth asked looking at me weird.

"I'm so fucking happy!" I cried out. I ran over to him and hugged Seth quickly. I then hugged Joey. I turned looking to hug Isla and froze. She was hanging on Embry's arm. I ran over to her and gave her a quick hug while I whispered into her ear, "Careful with him he's only 16."

"Just one year." She reminded me as we pulled away from each other.

"So everyone. I say we all get out of my small room and go to a bigger one." I said with fake enthusiasm. Everyone mumbled words of agreement. I grabbed Sam's arm just as he was about to leave. I nodded for Joey to go, and he walked out of the room as a confused Sam stayed behind.

"Seth told me about you guys." I said with my hands on my hips.

"What exactly did he say?" Sam said matching my position.

"You guys can turn into wolves and that I almost did. He also explained the 'alpha-order', which in my opinion is messed up. He also said I might not phase because of how I reacted to it."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." He said sounding relived.

"So am I. If you would have opened with, 'hey Mel. I can turn into a wolf now.' Things might have gone a little bit better for us."

"Really?" Sam asked suddenly hopeful.

"I still don't like you." I quickly added, just so we were clear. "But I'm sorry." I said after his face fell.

"Thank you. I'm sorry too." He said with the up most sincerity.

"I used to hurt myself." I blurted out. His eyes grew big and he frowned deeply. "That's what I thought my siblings told you."

"I don't know what to say." He said after a moment as he rubbed his hands on his pants.

"Don't tell anyone. No one knows except my siblings. I just thought you should know. Joey will probably tell you later, so you can watch for signs. I'm over it though." I said with a nod to assure him I really was over it. When Garrett got sick I started to hurt myself. Isla found out and stopped me, but I always wanted to hurt myself again. I don't feel like that anymore. Sure I'm angry, sad, resentful, and just plain mean now, but I don't want to hurt myself.

"I wouldn't ever tell anyone. Thanks. It means a lot that you told me." Sam said moving towards the door. "Shall we join everyone?"

"We shall." I said skipping ahead of him to go find Seth.

"Put me down!" I giggled as Seth continued to carry me upside down to an unknown place. He said it was a big secret.

"I can't. Sorry." Seth said with a lazy grin. I struggled in his grasp trying to free myself.

"Please!"

"Fine. We're here anyways." Seth said placing me upright on the ground. I blinked as stars filled my vision.

"Where are we?" I asked a second too late as Mrs. Clearwater came running out of the house smiling crazily.

"You must be Mel. I'm Sue." Mrs. Clearwater said pulling me into yet another hug.

"Hi Mrs. Clearwater. Sorry about my appearance. I was carried upside down here." I said trying to flatten down my hair.

"Please call me Sue." She said sweetly. Then she turned to Seth and hit him in the chest. "You never carry a girl upside down." She said with fake disappointment. I stifled a laugh when Seth responded.

"Yes ma'am."

"I didn't know you were a mamma's boy." I whispered to Seth as we followed his mother into the house.

"You aren't mad at me for bringing you over here?" He asked nervously.

"Of course not." I said truthfully. After all I'm just meeting a friend's mom. It's not a big deal or anything.
