Chapter Three

Embry chuckled and kissed my cheek, smirking at Allen, who looked rather a combination of confused and disgusted.

"I'll come by at 7, okay?" he asked, stroking my cheek with his warm hand. I smiled.

"Sure. See you!" I waved at him, going to where Al was standing, in front of the door.

"I don't like him," Al commented as we entered the house. I rolled my eyes at him.

"You're not supposed to," I simply replied. Throwing my bag on the floor and heading to the living room.

"Whatever, Mary. Just make sure we don't have to move, again." Ouch; that hurt. I just ignored him and got up to my room, changing into a pair of loose-fitting jeans and a white t-shirt.

I decided to sleep a little before Mom and Dad came home so I'd have some energy to study. Then, before I even got to grab the covers, my stomach growled. I groaned; I hadn't eaten anything at all but the bread stick this morning. That definitely helped the passing out thing.

As I ate some yoghurt, the phone rang. Allen wouldn't bother to move from in front of the TV anyways so I went to answer.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey, M! How're you now?" Stacey asked.

"I'm fine, Stacey. How's everything going with ya?" I asked, playing with my cup of yoghurt.

"Good good. How's Embry?" she asked, her tone playful. I smiled then noticed that Mom was unlocking the door.

"Uh- Later. I have to go now." Please get the hint.

"Oh, Amelia or your dad?" she asked.

"First."

"Okay, then. I'll talk to you later." She hung up. I put the phone down.

"Hey," Mom breathed as she kissed my cheek.

"Hey, Mom."

"I need to talk to you," she whispered, getting to her room. I followed her, my heart racing; I knew what this was about.

"Yes, Mom?" I said, trying to sound calm. She sat on the edge of her bed and smiled at me.

"You tell me," she said. I blushed and looked at the ground.

"About Embry, I suppose." Awkwardness was creeping there.

"So that's his name?" she asked. I could tell she was fighting a smile.

"Yeah." Awkward. She sighed.

"Mary, I'm really happy for you." What? I didn't tell her anything…

"Mom-" I tried to object but she cut me off.

"I know there's something going on between you two. I'm not that stupid; I saw it in both your eyes." It was my turn to sigh.

"Okay, Mom. So what?" I asked, shrugging.

"So what? Do you remember what happened last time?" No one would let me forget that! No one!

Flashback

I called him several times. No answer. I sighed; why was he ignoring me? Was he even ignoring me? Maybe he'd just forgotten his phone somewhere or he's busy.

So, to be sure, I borrowed Mom's phone and dialed his numbers. He answered after two rings.

"Hello?"

"Max!"

"Who is it?"

"It's Mary, Max. What's-" That was when I heard the familiar beep. He ended the call.

I fell on my bed, unable to comprehend what I had just discovered.

He was avoiding me.

I replayed every single moment in the past two weeks. I couldn't find one thing that I'd made that could have made him mad. I know him too well.

All I could remember was how I called after him and he didn't faze, how he just, over the night, kicked me out of his life.

He..He…

Oh my God.

I broke into tears, rocking myself as if trying to calm down. I heard knocks on the door but I didn't move. I didn't have it in me to respond. Why would it matter? Why would anything matter anymore?

I love Max. He changed a lot in me, I became a different person. I used to be a tomboy, a careless girl. All she could think about was only her schoolwork and best friends. But he showed up, and changed it all.

He taught me what 'butterflies' are. He taught me how to love. He was the reason I got up every morning and went to school.

Now I have nothing to wake up to.

He didn't care.

But I did.

I locked myself up in my room, lying on the bed, until Dad broke the door and found me like that.

I thought he got a doctor or something but I couldn't be that sure. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered.

"We have to move," I heard him tell Mom. Move, ummm…I don't care.

"If that's going to help her…then fine."

"Chief Swan was very understanding; he managed to get me another job in Port Angeles. I found a school there, too. Well, two; for Al and Mary."

Move? Huh. I wish it would help. Maybe…

No. I would never get over him. I just know that.

End of story.

End Flashback

"Mom, please-" she cut me off.

"No, Mary. You have to listen to me!" she said sternly.

"Mom! I know what you're going to tell me so just save it! Embry wouldn't do that to me. I just know that," I whispered the last part, tears already down my cheek.

"Oh, honey. I didn't mean it that way. Just, be more careful. Don't trust just anyone easily." I already trust him with my life Mom.

"Sure. By the way, he's coming to study with me tonight at 7," I informed her, already coming out of the door.

"Does William have to have his gun ready?" she asked playfully.

"No, Mom!" I yelled from my room.

I jumped to my bed and drifted to peaceful sleep. I felt really tired.

I felt someone gently shake my shoulder, I frowned.

"Al…one…minute," I mumbled groggily. I heard a chuckle.

"I'm Embry." My eyes shot open and I found him sitting on a chair beside my bed. I sat up immediately and blushed; my hair must look horrible now.

I glanced around me to find Dad standing at the door, his arms crossed over his chest. If awkwardness was visible, I would've been blinded by it.

"Um- I…Dad?" I stuttered.

"Yes?" he answered, his glare focused on Embry. I sighed.

"We're going to study, so…" I mumbled, trailing off. Why did they treat me like I'm incapable of dealing with people?

"Okay," he said," But the door remains open." I chuckled.

"Sure, Dad." I started to get up. He went downstairs. I turned to Embry," Um-I'll be right back." I ran to the bathroom and groaned as I saw my reflection; I looked terrible; my hair was going everywhere and the eye-liner made my eyes look like pandas'. I should have remembered to wash my face before I slept!

I quickly grabbed my make-up remover and started working on my face…and hair.

Embry Call

She looked so beautiful just laying there, sleeping peacefully. Even when her smooth hair was flowing on the pillow next to her.

She looked so tired though. I wouldn't have waken her up of it wasn't for her father standing in front of the door, glaring at me. I wouldn't blame him though.

She ran to what I assumed was the bathroom. I couldn't understand how anyone would hurt this angel.

My hands turned into tight fists and I let out a low growl. This Max did. I wished I could rip his head off. But I couldn't…

Flashback

Ugh; I hate getting lost. Jake was very specific with the directions. I chuckled at my sarcastic thought.

Oh, here it is!

I entered the parking lot on my motorcycle, scanning the place to find her.

Mary. My Mary. Definitely mine.

I found a group of people gathering around the entrance of the main building. What was that about? Is she in there?

I parked the motorcycle and shut off the engine, running to where they were all gathering.

"Mary? Mary? Are you okay?" I heard someone ask. Mary? What was wrong with Mary? Is she hurt?

I pushed through the crowds, calling her name.

She stood there, her face was much paler than usual, her small hands were sweating, trembling. She didn't look like she could be standing for long.

I rushed to her side, supporting her weight. I remembered then that all the Cullens went to school here, I even saw the Volvo in the parking lot.

"Edward?" I called, praying he would be there. He came out from between the crowd, obviously hearing my call. He held her wrist, measuring her heartbeat; it would've looked weird if he could tell her blood pressure without touching her wrist.

"She's fainting slowly, Embry; her blood pressure is lower than anything I would consider normal. Unless she's hypotensive or something…" he mumbled."I'll go get the nurse."

He went inside the main building and I put Mary's passed-out body on the floor, resting her head carefully on the wall.

I paid attention to my surroundings then. I saw Mary's friends; Matt, Stacey and Brad, I think. They were yelling at a guy…

"Isn't it enough what you've made her go through? She was just starting to get the Hell over all of this and you just decide to show up? What are you? A piece of ice?" Stacey yelled.

So he did this to her.

The son of a- Matt's words cut my thoughts off.

"Get the Hell away from her, Max! Look what you've done to her!" he pointed at Mary, passed-out, her face still pale, her now-white lips were shaking.

So, that's Max?

I couldn't contain my rage then, my body started shaking. But I couldn't phase with all those people around.

"So you're the one who had done this to her!" I spat, pushing him.

He tried to push me back but he could've been pushing a brick wall.

"And who are you to her? This is between me and her! It's none of anybody else's business!" he yelled, defending himself.

"Listen, you jerk, if you EVER and I mean EVER come anywhere near her, I swear to God I'll kill you and I'll kill you real slow!" I felt a cold hand on my shoulder then. Edward.

"She needs you now."Was all he had to whisper to get my attention back to her.

End Flashback

She got out of the bathroom, her hair pulled up in a cute messy ponytail and her face looked much better than this morning.

"Hey," she said, rubbing the back of her neck." Talk about awkward," she mumbled, I guessed to herself.

"Hey, honey." Did I just say that? Smooth, Embry. Real smooth!

She blushed and looked away.

"Umm…I guess I should study." Her voice was barely a whisper.

She leaned down to grab her book from her bag and threw it on her desk. Then, she jumped on her black chair, then on her desk and got another book and a notebook from the bookshelf she had up there. She looked down at the floor and gulped as she held the back of the chair for support and tried to jump back at the chair but it turned around. I rushed to her and caught her before she fell on the floor.

She giggled and blushed, looking away again. I helped her back on her feet, reluctantly though.

"Sorry, I-I don't usually fall from there," she rushed through the words.

"No, it's okay. I told you that's why I'm here," I whispered. She smiled.

"Yeah, Mr. Bodyguard." We both laughed."Now, I really have to study. Look, I'll revise those equations," she opened the book on some numbers and letters that I couldn't get myself to look at; I hated school," And if I could answer those exercises in that book-" she pointed at the book she got from the bookshelf-" I'll be free tonight!" she finally concluded.

"Great," I said and kissed her cheek, she blushed again," I'll stay silent." And watch your beautiful face. She nodded and got immediately to work.

She looked so cute when she concentrated, wearing her eyeglasses and playing absentmindedly with her pen. Poor pen; she bit it when she didn't know the answer. Hell, I was jealous of that pen.

I think we're moving too fast. But this isn't just a girl that I met and liked. She's my imprint…My soul mate.

"Yes!" She said, a little too loudly, snapping me out of my reverie.

Her smile just made me smile back immediately.

"Are you done?" I whispered, making sure her father wouldn't hear us. She nodded and glanced at her watch.

"Mom and Dad should be gone by now; they go out together every Thursday night at 8," she said, smiling. "So, we only have Allen now, who I bet is watching TV." Her smile got even wider. I took the other chair and sat beside her. I could hear her heartbeat lose its track.

"What do you want to do?" I asked.

"Umm- Uh- I don't know. Do you want to help me with the yearbook cover?" she asked. She worked too hard…

"Sure. What are you going to do?" The only thing I could really help her with is cars. Hmm…she doesn't have one, does she?

"I have to design the cover. I don't know much about Photoshop but I guess I'll just have to find out." She sighed and got out a CD from her bag," I still have to install it, you know."

"Sure."

She put the CD in the computer and leaned back on her chair. I leaned closer and kissed her cheek again; I could never get enough of her. Her breath hitched but she grinned widely. She did something I didn't really expect, not like I didn't like it. She leaned closer until our lips were inches apart. Then, she shook her head and blushed. She was about to pull back when I grabbed her creamy face between my hands and kissed her.

It got deeper, more passionate; her hands were in my hair and mine were already on her waist.

I could feel myself be carried away; my hand was on the edge of her shirt. That was when she pulled away, her face tomato red.

"I-uh, um…Wow," she stuttered. She was so cute when she stuttered.

I felt embarrassed myself; I didn't want to get carried away with her. After all, I had only known her for one day. It seems like I'd known her for centuries already. But this was just wrong.

"Yeah. Sorry I got carried away." She looked at the ground, blushing even more. It took her a moment to collect her breath.

"Uh- No problem. I-I- the program is installed." She smiled." You know what, the cover can wait." I laughed lightly.

We ended up on the bed, looking at her pictures when she was a baby. She had always been so exquisite. Her dark brown eyes-almost black if I didn't have the super-vision- was always so wide and beautiful, like an angel from heaven.

Her phone rang then. She hopped out of the bed and grabbed it, answering the call.

"Hello?" she said and paused." Yes, I have her number. Why?"Another pause." Oh. Okay. I'll call her." One more pause." Love you, too. See ya." She pressed the end button.

"What is it?" I asked then slapped myself mentally; she must think I'm rude now. Who asks about that?

"It's Stacey. She was just asking about Nessie; apparently, she didn't go to school today." Hmm…Weird." I'll call her now, 'Kay?" Was she asking for permission or something? I nodded my head anyways.

"Hello, Mrs. Cullen," she started," Yes, I'm Mary. Is Nessie at home?"she asked and waited for a second."Oh, okay. I'll call her later." She ended the call with a frown on her face."She's with Jacob," she explained then shrugged," good thing she isn't sick or anything, right?" I snorted. Sick. Yeah, right." What?" she was confused.

"Nothing. Wait, what time is it now?" I suddenly asked. It was Jacob's turn to patrol tonight.

" 9:30. Why?" she sat next to me again.

"Jacob was supposed to be on patrol now." She looked even more confused," Wolf thing," I explained. She nodded." Look, I have to go now." I hate you, Jacob Black!

Her expression turned a little…sad?

I hate you more now, Jacob, what's so important that you have to skip patrolling to be with Nessie?

I rubbed the back of my neck," I'll see you tomorrow, Okay? I'll pick you up after school. Love you." I rushed through the words. She nodded and smiled at my rush.

"Okay," she mumbled. I kissed her forehead and was about to exit when I realized I didn't have her number.

"I don't have your number," I commented. Her eyes widened as if she realized the same thing too.

"Here it is," she handed me a piece of paper with her number written on, with her name right above it. Like I'd need that; I'd remember it was her anyways.

I put it in the pocket of my jeans and rushed out, leaving a stunned young brother at the door. Dammit! I was running full speed.

Whatever.

Mary Anderson

This couldn't have been any more perfect. Well, it could have id he stayed longer. But, whatever.

I was getting more and more attached to him by the second. I didn't regret it though; I trusted him. If I could choose something now, I would choose to live my life with him.

Crazy, I know.

But that's just me.

I got back on my computer and opened the program to start working. I couldn't help but remember the last time I sat there, about an hour ago. Wow.

I spent another two hours on the computer and felt my eyelids become heavy; I was more tired than ever that day.

I shut down the computer after I saved my work and got into the shower, enjoying the hot water on my skin. I changed into my pajamas and hopped into bed, turning on my iPod.

The first song was Always by Bon Jovi. I snorted; I used to listen to that one long time ago.

NEXT!

I Believe In A Thing Called Love. Wow; some of the lyrics just fit.

"Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel." I laughed at the huge similarity. Embry did that to me.

I kept listening; I hadn't listened to it for so long.


I believe in a thing called love "

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Huh!"

I smiled to myself as I drifted to peaceful sleep.

"Mary, sweetie, wake up," I heard Dad say, shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes reluctantly and yawned.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"It's 4:30." I groaned; it was too early." I just want to talk to you." Ohh…

"Dad, if it's about Embry then I am careful and I won't go into anything like 'last time'. Can I sleep now?" I almost begged, re-closing my eyes. He sighed.

"Where does he live?" He suddenly asked.

"La Push." I buried my face in the soft pillow.

"What's his last name?"

"Call." I got up then and turned to face him," What, Dad? Are you going to run an investigation or something?" I asked.

"Not exactly. I just need to know you're safe, sweetie." I smiled at him.

"Don't worry about that." Especially that.

"I'll try not to." He chuckled." Are you seeing him again soon?"

"Yeah; he'll pick me up after school." I got back to bed.

" Can you come here first? The two of you, I mean?" What was that about?

I sat up for the second time and looked at him suspiciously.

"What's that about?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

" Nothing; I just need to meet my daughter's boyfriend before he takes her out. Any objections, young lady?" he said, using his 'Dad' and 'Officer' tones…together.

"Yes, sir," I muttered sarcastically and managed to get back to sleep before he spoke about it any further.

I got up again at 6:30, so I had to rush through everything but finally managed to get downstairs at 7 sharp. I'm proud!

I grabbed my now-recharged cell phone and got out, missing breakfast again. I remembered to get my box of vitamins though; Stacey sent me a message telling me that her father recommends them. Whatever.

I walked to school but I was being slower than usual; nobody wants to pass out in the street, right? I didn't have breakfast and my vitamins were safe in the box.

I arrived there at 8:03am. Uh-oh; I just hope I wouldn't get a detention or anything. I ran my way up the stairs to the English class to find the teacher late. I let out a sigh of relief and entered the class.

"Hey," Matt greeted me," How've you been?"

"I'm great. Any news?" I asked as I sat down, getting out my notebook and pen.

"Not that I'd know of," he said," So, you have a boyfriend." I blushed and nodded. He hugged me with one hand. "Good for you. Just tell me if he hurts you or anything so I could beat him up." We both laughed. Matt and I were pretty close, especially after he and Samantha broke up and Stacey and Brad…well, hooked up.

The rest of the day passed by pretty quickly; I was looking forward to meeting Embry.

I wondered why the Cullens and Hales didn't show up today. I just hoped there wasn't anything wrong with any of them.

I ran my way downstairs, expecting to wait for Embry. But, to my surprise, he was there already.

"Hey," I said, riding behind him and holding his waist for balance. I remembered to wear pants today.

"Hey, honey." Butterflies again! Oh God. I was just glad that he couldn't see my blushing face just now; he'd seen enough yesterday." Shall we?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure. But we kinda have to go home first," I mumbled.

"Why?" he asked." Did you forget something?"

"Umm-No. But Dad wants to talk to you," I stated directly.

"Oh." Was all he said.

I just hoped it would go well.

REVIEW please *pouts* :D
