This is from Sam's point of view:
The next couple of months were wonderful for Embry and me. We grew closer as a couple while I adjusted to having a boyfriend. I loved being around him and he always did things that made my day and never pushed me into something I wasn't ready for. Lately though I wanted…more from our relationship. At first I couldn't put my finger on what this new feeling was but after watching other couples I wanted more from Embry than just holding hands or snuggling on the couch. I didn't tell him this because I was too chicken to tell him.
"Hey Sam," Embry said coming into the front room of the shop smiling which took my breath away.
"Hi," I said softly smiling at him.
"I am going to go home early," he said, "will you meet me there?"
"Sure," I said, "I get off in an hour."
"I look forward to it," he said leaning forward and kissed my forehead gently.
"Me too," I said breathlessly after he pulled away.
I watched him walk out of the shop and get into his car knowing that this would be a long hour. After the agonizing hour was over I went into the small bathroom and ran a brush through my hair and put on a little lip gloss. I opened the bathroom door to find Jeremy standing waiting.
"So where are you going?" he asked.
"I'm meeting Embry at his place," I said.
"Do you want me to pick you up at ten?" he asked.
"Really Jeremy?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Yes," he said.
"No thanks," I said, "I can drive myself."
"If you are sure," he said.
"No idea where this overprotective brother thing came from…"I said quietly to myself.
I gave Jeremy a hug before I went and got in my car and drove to Embry's house. When I got there was a car in the drive way I didn't recognize. I frowned as I got out of the car but shrugged it off and started walking towards the house. I opened the door to find the dining room table set with food and two place settings. I smiled at the fact that Embry made me dinner.
I then heard a moan from the kitchen and I hesitantly started walking towards it. What I saw there made my heart stop. There was Embry kissing Brittany. I opened and closed my mouth. Embry looked up at me and his face went pale. I turned and ran out of the house ignoring Embry's calls after me. Tears blurred my vision and I blinked them out of the way to drive home.
I didn't remember driving home but next thing I knew I was packing my things into my bags while Jeremy asked me what was going on.
"It was a mistake coming here," I said not bothering to wipe my tears away.
"But what's wrong Sam," he asked.
"I just can't stay anymore," I said stuffing clothes into my bag not giving him a clear answer, "I knew it would turn out like this."
"What," he asked, "I thought you were happy here, I want you to stay."
"It was too good to be true," I said.
"Did something happen with Embry?" he asked in a low voice.
I flinched but didn't say anything back.
"I'm going to kill him," he said leaving my room.
I heard him go to the front door and open it.
"What the heck are you doing here," I heard Jeremy said.
Oh God please don't let him in here I thought.
"I want to talk with Sam," I heard Embry say.
I grabbed a few more last minute things before sitting on my bed to wait for Embry to be gone so I could leave and go back home.
"She doesn't want to see you," I heard Jeremy say.
"Please let me explain things to her and then she can go if she wants," Embry said sounding desperate, "I'll never bother her again."
"I don't believe you," Jeremy said.
"You know me Jeremy," Embry said.
"I know what kind of guy you were before you met my sister, I'm not surprised that you hurt my sister," I heard my brother say
I then heard a thud and I came out of my room to see Jeremy lying on his back holding his chin.
"What did you do to my brother," I asked going over to Jeremy and crouching down next to him.
"I didn't mean too…" Embry said tailing off and looking guilty, "I just want to talk to you."
"I'm not talking to you," I said standing, "Not after what I saw you doing in your kitchen and then you come over and hit my brother!"
"Sam I'm so…" he started.
"Don't tell me you're sorry," I said, "Maybe he was right, you haven't changed from before we me."
"You can't mean that," he said looking hurt.
"I can't do this Embry," I said, "Not after what I saw."
"You have to know," he said, "That she came over and kissed me."
"And it sure looked like you were kissing her back," I said.
"I didn't," he said, "You have to believe me."
"I'm sorry but I don't," I said turning away from him.
I went into my room and grabbed my bags and marched out the door.
"Please Sam don't leave," he begged me.
"I'm sorry I have no choice." I said throwing my bags into the back of the truck.
I opened the truck door and drove away. I let the tears roll down my face and I drove away from Embry. I could feel something pulling me back to him but I didn't want to listen to it. I was so stupid I thought I should have known it would have turned out like this. By the time I pulled into my parent's house my eyes were dry from crying. I turned off the engine and mom came out to meet me as I opened the door.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Embry," I said my face crumpling.
Mom pulled me into a hug and I cried on her shoulder.
"What happened," mom asked again, "Jeremy called telling us you were on your way home."
I quickly told her what had happened with what I saw.
"So you came in just as they kissed," she asked and nodded, "What kind of girl is this Brittany?"
"I don't really know her too well," I said, "I know her and Embry were involved before…she's pretty and I can see why Embry would want her instead of me."
"Oh Sam," mom said, "I wish you could see how beautiful you are."
"Not enough for him," I said shaking my head.
"I just have a feeling this is a big misunderstanding," mom said.
"How can you defend him?" I asked, "I know what I saw."
"Because this Brittany girl sounds like the kind of girl who would try to split a couple up," she said.
"I doubt it," I said.
"Don't worry honey," mom said things will work out, "You'll see."
"I hope you are right," I said.
"I usually am," mom said kissing me on my check.
Mom helped me with my bags and we had a 'girl's night' just the two of us. That night I lay in bed thinking about Embry. I felt bad for the way I left but I just felt so angry and hurt. I thought about what my mom said and how I had walked in on them kissing without seeing what I had happened before that. Was my mom right? Was Brittany trying to breaking us up?
Tears rolled down my face again. I missed him, I actually missed him. I wished he was there to hold me and to tell me what was going on. I still felt mad at him though. I wanted to trust him but I couldn't, and I didn't know if I ever could again. That night I fell into a fitful sleep unsure if I would listen to my heart of my head.
Sorry for the delay, again I wasn't sure where how I wanted this post to go. Please let me know what you think!
