There really no easy way to say this but i am SO sorry for the delay the chapter it will not ever happen again. I promise.

Chapter 2

There are no words. As soon as I got home yesterday I got a text from my friend Marni who gave me a full debriefing on what had happened and why Ethan had broken up with me. He is now dating McKenna Ash. McKenna with the red and black and orange hair, McKenna who has multiple tattoos and piercings on her. Story of my life. Every single time this happened to me, guys date me and as soon as they see something more to their appetite they leave. Assholes. To be honest I have nothing against McKenna, based on the one conversation I've actually had with her she pretty decent and smart. The only thing I can say about her that her heads always somewhere else, like in a different world. Crap, hating people is too hard when you actually like them, seriously Marni says I am in my right to hate her that she heard from Monica that she had seen the two of them kissing, like two weeks ago when me and Ethan were still together says that most of the school is passing rumors that he cheated on me. I honestly don't give a shit, after reading the text I had a good cry, went for a run then came back and had a hot shower and now I feel like I'm ready to face anything this fucked up world decides to throw at me. Seriously who needs pot or shit when you can just run and release endorphins? It is honestly the best feeling in the world and aside from that it is good for you, when people ask me why run so much this is the explanation I give them, then they tell me I'm crazy and I only do it because I want to be thin. Bitches.

Anyways so maybe I am a push over Anita is always going on about it, and maybe I could fight for Ethan. Yes I would fight for him, but first things first I need to set up someone with Fer otherwise she might end up like me with Embry and Seth well he looks like a good kid but seriously no one need the aggravation of being chased around by an over hormonal teenage boy. I unlocked my phone and called Marni.

"Hello?"

"Marni, its Jen I need your help" I said while browsing through my very well stocked make up bag" When are you free?"

"Well I've got a lot of planning to do for Logan's party why?"

"I wanna introduce a friend" I yawned, ooohh China Glaze... Ride the Waves or Under the Boardwalk? Decision, decisions" She's new at the reservation's high school, she's pretty cool"

"I don't know, Jen you know there's so much to do."

"C'mon Marni, let it be your one good deed of the year"

"Bitch"

"My treat?"

"Fine, but I get to pick out the restaurant"

"Yay! Saturday? Around six-ish?"

"Whatever"

"Okay love ya! Thank you so much"

"Yeah, yeah love ya too bitch"

And I hung up ahh it's so nice to have friends that are supportive of you, to Marni's defense she doesn't really like anyone new ever since the Heather incident but its all good Stacie, Monica and I got her through it and that's all that matters. Ah Pink Plumeria it is.

"Jennifer darling, remember not eat too much. William told me you've stopped training and recreational running is nothing compared to what you used to do... Jennifer are you listening to me?" My mother blabbed over the speakerphone" Jennifer you know you have a slow metabolism, and you must be at least a size 2 when you come and visit me or else nothing will fit you, sizes in Europe are twice as small honey"

"Mother, ill order a diet coke and a single leaf or lettuce" I said trying to hide my exasperation" And if I feel bloated I'll throw it up"

"Jennifer, don't say things you don't mean" My mother sighed" But seriously darling, let's not repeat Russia, we had such an unpleasant time finding you clothes for the ballet"

Oh joyous memories with my family" There's nothing wrong with being a size 4, beside my breast are bigger. I think men like it"

"Dear if you want big breast we can find you a really great bra, just promise you will at least try not to eat the entire restaurant okay? Oh! and practice your French! There's nothing more embarrassing than having a mute daughter"

"Mother, that's horrible" I sighed, unplugging the flat iron" And I will, I have to go now."

"But you just got on the phone! I never see you besides you have not said hi to Ayden or your brothers"

"Stepbrothers, ma and if you want me to say hi to my brother I will call Will "

" Don't say 'maw' it's not polite and Jen, Ayden and I have been married for three years I think it's about time you start thinking of him and his children as your family too. You could at least say a quick hello and thank Ayden for buying you your flight ticket; he's really very fond of you that's why he went through all the trouble of rearranging his schedule so you could vacation with us , during your American summer holidays"

"American? You make it sound foreign mother" I rolled my eyes

" When you lived abroad long enough it does..."

"You've lived in Europe for about two years, and the rest of your life in North America"

" Really darling, it has nothing to do with the time. Not that you would understand"

" I have to go"

"Fine, have fun with your friends" My mother snapped" and if you can contact you brother tell him to give me a call, he hasn't confirmed spending the summer with us and I-"

" I will mother, take care"

" Also-"

And I hung up the phone, talking to my mother gave me headaches also 'contact'? What are we her fucking business associates? And I am being forced to spend the whole summer with her and Ayden who by the way totally eye fucks every woman in sight when my mother is not watching. I think my mother's right I do need to work on my language. There is a soft knock on my door.

"May I come in?" Anita asks politely, I smile I think in our relationship it's been established that she doesn't need to knock, but it's nice that she tries.

"Yeah" I said moving away from my vanity, towards the mirror" Your timing is perfect you know, I need to be zipped up"

Anita nods and proceeds to help me, I place my hand over my belly and suck in. I'm not fat, I mean I have gained like three pounds since I stopped running as hard as I used to but that doesn't mean that I'm like a sumo wrestler now.

"Stop it," Anita sighs and takes my hands" You are beautiful, now exhale"

Beautiful huh, truth is I did feel beautiful... one conversation with my mother ago.

"Why so fancy? You meeting Ethan tonight?"

"Ethan broke up with me" I lamented, and Anita's eyes widened "But it's okay Ann, honestly all I want to do tonight is just have fun"

"You going with that nice Latina girl or the pigheaded blonde?"

"Marni? Yeah but they are both going to be there I'm just showing Fernanda around, anyways I'll see you later don't wait up kay?"

"I won't have to because you'll be back by eleven"

I nodded before heading down out honestly driving around Fork is kind of relaxing; there is rarely any traffic and nice green scenery all around. Driving all the way to Port Angeles by myself was kind of nice, for a change the rain was a nice drizzle instead of the obnoxious loud showers, naturally I was has the first one to arrive, then Monica and Stacie, Logan and Marni, Fer and last but not least Stacie. The night was a complete drag since Marni would not shut up about Logan's party, every time either Monica or Kate tried to change the subject it would somehow wind back to either Logan or his party, you could tell that Logan was getting annoyed but not enough to say something about it. Fernanda looked completely bored and to top it off a really bored Stacie began flirting with our waiter.

"I'll be right back" I sighed" restroom"

"I'll come with" Kate practically snapped, we walked through the corridor down the hall. The bathroom was beautifully decorated, with modern stone walls and beautiful ceramic finish.

"So what do you think of Fer?" I said casually, as I retouched my make-up not that it needed any retouching.

"She's nice, enough that she's pretending to be engaged in the conversation. I swear if Marni isn't done taking about lights or cups when we back I'm going to throw my Dr. Pepper in her face"

"Ha! That's something that might save the night; anyways the party's at the beach everything is going to get trashed anyways"

"Exactly, you know why she's doing this don't you? Why Marni's going completely over board right?"

"Its cause Logan is going away next year to university, isn't it?"

"Yeah, she's trying her hardest to hold on to him, anyways anything new with Ethan?"

"Nope, and honestly he's not worth it. I mean why want someone who doesn't want you back? Its heartbreak waiting to happen"

"Try explaining that to Marni" Kate sighed, fixing her hair once again something that didn't need to be fixed, I think we were both just delaying the inevitable" So, how's Embryo doing?"

" Who?"

Kate rolled her eyes, but dropped the subject. I had been trying my very hardest not to think about him of all people. Kate suggested that we return our table before people start talking about our bowels to which I completely complied to. When we got back sure enough the talk was still on about cups and- oh wait we had moved on to beer jolly good progress we were making, unfortunately Logan had drank Kate's Dr. Pepper to which Kate only gave him a flat stare, got her stuff and simply left. That pretty much finished the night off, as soon as Marni saw Fer's car she immediately brightened up and formally invited her to Logan's party and to that I could only roll my eyes.

I got home at around 10, headed up to bed immediately. I carefully removed my makeup and brushed my hair, mirrors had never been a friend of mine and today was no exception all I saw was a girl who was tired physically and mentally. I braided my hair and put some pyjama's on, then went to check my messages quickly, most were from my friends from Seattle some from my mother and a few for my father and finally I scrolled down to the bottom my last message one was from Will. I checked it quick, Will emailed me and that was very rare but all it was an attachment to Will's most recent upcoming marathon and with it

"Come support me?"

I smiled, Will and I never got to see each other anymore since I moved but we always came to see each other's run's and that was something I wouldn't be the one to break, after all most of the time it seemed like Will and Anita were my only true family. And so the day ended with no particular things to really remember, and yet these are the time we are supposed to cherish the most what does that mean? And how do I get a piece of the action

More Jen and Embry to come, i will not be including more that what is necessary about Fer and Seth but check out their story if youd like. I really really wanna get the ball rolling with Jen and Embry, and we will see Embry appear more and more as chapters come. But for now enjoy and again im sorry about the hold up.
