DESERVING ME
„I'm selfish, impatient & a little insecure.
I make mistakes,
I'm out of control
& at times hard to handle.
But if you can't handle me at my worst,
Then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"
A few days had passed since the night that Embry had kissed her for the first time. Now Amy awoke with a warm feeling in her stomach. It was warm enough outside, the sun shone through every window of the house. Life seemed to go really well these last few days. Embry and she had taken to a new level of their relationship. He would pick her up in the morning, they would spend the day at Sam and Emily's place, go for a walk on the beach or he would carry her through the woods in his wolf form. Amy enjoyed every second she was with him so much, that she barely spent time with her relatives. Even when she returned home in the evenings she went straight to her room, where Embry would already be waiting for her.
She streched, pulled the blanket away and went downstairs.
Her aunt gave her a stern look. "What do you think you're doing?" That was a nice way to be greeted in the morning...
Amy was completely taken by surprise. "What do you mean?" The argument that they had a while ago came back to her. She had presumed her aunt had forgotten about it but it seemed as if Gloria had choosen this bright morning to pick a fight. Amy sighed, she had not even had breakfast yet.
"Don't be acting as if you didn't know. I mean, young lady, that you've been behaving selfish and treating me as if I was stupid. You never apologized properly for coming home late the other night. And since that night, you've gotten worse. I can't and won't deal with it any longer" she ranted.
"I still don't know what this is supposed to mean. I know I haven't been around a lot but I didn't think you were that upset with me. I'm sorry, ok? Why can't we just go back to the way we were before?" Amy pleaded. She would have never guessed her aunt would make such a big deal out of it. This was ridiculous. Amy had better and more important things on her mind... like Embry for example...
"Amy, you came home late, and if this wasn't bad enough on its own, you have a boy in your room most nights!" It was as if her blood turned into ice.
"What...? How do you... I mean, what?" she stuttered.
"So, you are not even denying it?" her aunt's voice got higher with each word that left her lips. "You thought I was fooled?! Fooled by your faked innocense? Oh, no, I was not. I've been around for far longer than you have – don't take me for senile!"
"I'm not taking you for senile. Honnestly, I did not even know that he would come around. Not the first time, nor the second. Please, I'm begging you. It will never happen again, ever! I'm really sorry!"
Tears started to well up in her eyes. She felt guilty for putting this one on Embry but he would understand, of that she was sure.
"I'm sorry, too. But I'm too old to do this. I raised my own children a long time ago, and as you know, Sam's father did not turn out all too well..."
"But I'm different, Gloria. I won't dissapoint you. I made a mistake, yes, and I know it's been hard on you, but we'll get this sorted. Please, ground me, do whatever you want, but forgive me!"
"Amy, I just don't trust myself on this and I don't want to be responsible for a pregnant teenager. You've been here for only two weeks and are already fooling around with some guy. You seem out of control. I would not have guessed that this could possibly happen but it did and now you have to face the consequences of your actions!" Her temporary guardian seemed to have made up her mind.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Amy cried.
"I have already called you mother. She agrees with me. You will no longer see this guy and as soon as she gets a flight, she'll come to pick you up."
"You are kicking me out of the house?" Even the tears had stopped. This was ridiculous. Would her aunt really sent her away just because of her and Embry being in love? Her own thoughts shocked her to the core. She hadn't have the time to think it through. Was she really in love with him? Were they both that serious?
"Yes" a short pause "you are no longer welcome" Gloria's ice cold voice sliced through the air.
Amy started running. She raced out of the kitchen, through the front door, further and further down the road. How could this be happening? Just twenty minutes ago she had been happier than ever in her entire life and now it was all to be taken from her. Streams of tears ran down her cheeks. The countryside was nothing but a blur. Suddenly she tripped over a root sticking out of the ground and fell. Full speed she rolled down a hill until she finally came to lie in the bushes. The world around her sank into blackness.
ooOoo
About two hours later, it knocked at Gloria's front door. Now less than ever, would she take Amy back into her house. What was that girl thinking? That she could simply run away and come back as it pleased her? Oh, no, Gloria would not accept any kind of apology. Angrily she reached for the door and opened it.
There, on her front porch, this Embry kid was in all his tallness and glory. He seemed a bit nervous. What did he want? Was he there to apologize for her? Or maybe... thoughts raced through her mind, what if something happened to Amy? What if she decided to live with this guy? What if... Wait, was that Sam in the car in the driveway?
Gloria looked confused from one to the other. She had never noticed how similar these two looked. She composed her face into a safe, cold mask. "What do you want?"
Embry looked surprised by her tone and his nervousness increased. It had cost him quite a bit of strenght to come over here and ask her aunt where Amy was. Of course he had checked her room earlier on but she wasn't in nor had she left him a note. He decided to ignore the coldness radiating from her aunt.
"Good morning, Gloria. Can I talk to Amy?" he asked as politely as possible.
Now it was Gloria's turn to look bewildered. "Do you mean... you mean, she's not with you?"
"Umm, no, I haven't seen her since yesterday" he turned around to the car with a questioning look on his face "We meant to go down to the beach but she didn't show up at Sam's this morning..."
"Which is why we came to pick her up" Sam appeared behind his friend. "Hi grandma" he quickly kissed her on the cheek. "So, where is she?"
Gloria seemed embarrassed. "I don't know."
Embry's eyes narrowed in on her. "What do you mean you don't know?" Sam put his hands on Embry's shoulder. "Relax, bro" and indeed the younger one was shaking slightly.
"Grandma, what do you mean?"
And so Gloria started telling them about the fight with her grandniece.
"You did not...!" Embry growled sounding less human with every word.
"Embry, go for a walk, get the others, we'll look for Amy" Sam ordered, then as soon Embry was out of hearing range he turned to his grandma with a stern expression "you should not have kicked her out. You know it doesn't solve any problem you two might have had..."
"Sam, I just didn't want to be responsible for her getting knocked up by some guy" she pleaded. "Her mother would be so disappointed. I think it's for the best, that she's coming to bring Amy home. She's a nice girl, but I don't trust this Embry kid, he seems dangerous."
Sam surpressed a sarcastic grin. A giant werwolf and dangerous? No way...
"Embry would never endanger her and he's way too liable to get her pregnant. He's not like our dad... my dad, I mean."
"Sam, maybe you are mistaken, maybe you don't know Embry well enough to be so sure of his 'chivalry'..."
'I only shared his mind for the last few years, how would I know him?' he thought dryly.
"Is this really all about Embry?"
"No, no you're right, Sam. I remembered her to be this sweet little girl and now she has turned out to be selfish and impossible to handle. I can't be bothered to raise someone else's child, Sam, I'm glad I'm done with that period of my life..."
"You know, we all are hard to handle sometimes. You, me, even Emily... We all have our problems but it does not entitle you to give up on your loved ones. If you don't stick with them through the bad times than you can't expect them to share the good times with you."
Gloria's heart ached. When did her grandson become such a wise man? He seemed to have lived through a lifetime filled of pain, love and more responsibility than a young man should bear on his shoulders alone.
"Will you pack Amy's stuff together, please? I'll have one of my guys pick it up later on. Amy will move in with Emily and me because if you don't want to help her through this, we will." Ok, maybe this was a bit harsh but Sam could not help it. His grandmother was downright unfair towards Amy and Embry. They were already his responsibility. It would not change a lot if she now took her in completely.
"But, Sam, you don't know what you're putting yourselves into..." Gloria felt betrayed.
"I'm sure, we know better what to expect of this than you do, I'm sorry, but I have to go now."
He turned on his heels and with a few long strikes he had reached his car. If anything had happened to Amy, it would kill Embry. Sam just had to prevent that, they were both family and he had the responsibility now. In his head he already divided the pack into little search parties...
